So they still have four more spaces left to announce then. Kinda curious to see what they will pick up this season although the ones that have been announced so far aren't really surprising.

Oh man, the music in that Yona PV is breathtaking.
I have to say, though...I fail to understand the logic of romanizing Kija's name "Gija". It sounds like "ki". It's written with the Japanese katakana for "ki". Why...? Is there some Korean romanization standard I don't know about at work here?

More streaming options is always nice.

I got hung up on that too! Gah. I don't know anything about Korean romanization or pronunciation standards myself (except that I find them confusing compared to straight-foward, only-five-vowel-sounds Japanese) but Gija (and "Jeno" for Zeno?) just doesn't seem right. I searched "キジャ" on the JP Wikipedia and found a Korean actress who played a character by that name in a kdrama, and the English Wiki page lists the role as Ki-ja. So... so there.

The Korean letter which is transliterated as 'k' in the McCune–Reischauer system can be transliterated as 'g' in the Ministry of Culture 2000 (the Revised Romanisation of Korean) system.

I'm starting to lose my temper...just why the heck is Funimation blocking trailers? It's just an advertisement. Really It's doesn't make sense at all.

It is licensing agreement with the companies in Japan. FUNimation can only stream show/movies/ OVAs in the USA and Canada and that includes clips and trailers.

I hope Tokyo Ghoul ends up on Netflix like Psycho-Pass and GitS:Arise did.

I guess it couldn't be helped. Right now I couldn't afford to move to North America.
But whatever, for now I'm gonna cool down. No further complaints.

I'd imagine the new Fafner series is a shoe-in which leaves 3. I hope it's something surprising like something I would thought Sentai would first choose.
