Guess this is the first of the Bandai rescues that Funi is doing. Very Happy

Since they got the G.U. Trilogy movie, I wonder if this means they are going to go back and dub it.
If they do, I'll definitely be picking it up.

While I'm not interested in any of these particular titles (because I already have .hack//SIGN), I am glad that Bandai's corpse is being picked at, it gives me hope!

I'm only missing .hack/Roots. Guess I won't have to bow to OOP pricing now.

I'll be curious to see if FUNi's box set of SIGN will include Unison or not. Bandai's release had it in the vol. 6 LE, but not in the SE or the box set.

Awww nothing about the .hack movie that was bundled with .hack//Versus? Sad I also wonder if GU will include the Returner OVA.

Skip the shows and listen to the soundtracks. Unless you want to be put into a coma by the nothing at all happening in any of them.

Well, I guess Quantum did pretty good for them.

Their Sign release better come with the Music Only special special feature.

They actually licensed the LoT anime?

Hahaha! Oh man. That was terrible. I can't believe I sat through it all.

Just a bit of advice: The manga is/was far superior.

It sure as heck won't be the same voice cast if they do, which upsets because I LOVED G.U's voice cast. Still ask myself why Bandai didn't dub it. Not to mention, the fact I had to literally hunt for it because of the print run being rather....limited in my area.

Well crap, already purchased the Japanese box set of .hack//Roots in Japanese for 100 bucks. Oh well. No problem since watch raw normally anyway...

I'll definitely pick up .hack//Trilogy though. Didn't ever see it. Mostly because of the lack of Shino and too much... Atoli. *shiver*

Well it's nice to know Funi's picking up some Bandai stuff. I wonder if they'll pick up any other shows any time soon?

With the exception of Atoli/Bridget Hoffman, I loved the cast too.
That's not to say I think Bridget Hoffman is bad. Her acting is pretty solid...solid enough anyway. Her voice just irritates me a lot of the time and Atoli was one of those times.

That said, as long as the casting choices are good, I won't mind a change. Like with DBZ Kai. I actually preferred some of those new voices over the old ones.

Thank you Funimation. I did not want to pay the OOP prices for what is a so-so anime with an amazing soundtrack. I will definitely pick these up.

;D I'd rather see the rest of the series get turned into an anime to finish the story. Too many questions left unanswered. Needs more dramallama.
