Not really. I mean, if you don't like gun-toting loli's I can respect that, but I happen to like them alot.

Eh...nothing of interest for me. Kinda disappointed in Funimation this time around. On the sheer luck of it, I was hoping they would announce something for the rest of xxxHolic, but I knew that was likely going to be a lost cause.

Should've seen B&T 2 coming considering they labeled their first boxset as "Season 1". Glad they got the OVA too!

Funimation heard people like to poop, so they brought them crap.

ROFL. Asobi and BH Kei and substandard, but they'll probably sell quite well since the former's premise is a complete lie while the latter has nude girls.

Did Funi already license it?

Well this is a mixed bag. B Gata H Kei is the first and only series I stopped watching halfway through the first episode, and one of only three series I can think of that disturbed me.

However, I am very excited for Deadman Wonderland, Baka to Test to Shōkanjū Ni!, C and Steins;Gate. I'm really happy that companies are announcing these current season titles so early.

But come on Funi, where's Rainbow? I've only watched clips, but it's something I know I'd love. I've been waiting for Funi to announce it so I haven't watched it, but if nothing is announced by otakon then I give in.

It also picked up additional rights — for DVD, Blu-ray Disc, digital, and broadcast — for the television anime series C.

One man's crap is another man's rich and creamy chocolate ice cream.

I'm excited for C and Steins;Gate myself.

Asobi ni Ikuyo! got licensed? I expected Sentai Filmworks to get it, but a somewhat nice pick by FUNimation Entertainment. This is a much better pickup than We, Without Wings: Under the Innocent Sky (Note I'm a fan of that show, but don't like it all that much.).

I can see that selling much better than We, Without Wings: Under the Innocent Sky.

I just saw the "Yamada's First Time" title...dear God, please tell me they're not planning on actually using that title...

Oh well, title regardless, you can bet I'm going to get this Blu-ray, without a doubt.

C: Loved the simulcast, so I will pick up the DVDs at some point.
Deadman Wonderland: Heard good things about this. I need to actually watch the Crunchyroll stream before I buy this.
B Gata: Ecchi is not my thing.
Steins;Gate: I know nothing of this show. Weird that Funimation is picking it up despite not being finished.
Asobi: Also not my thing.

That's one yes, two nos, and two maybes. Once I see some Steins;Gate and DW I'll know if this panel was a great or mild success for me.

Nothing that I'm interested in, but I have come to expect that from FUNi lately. They seem to focus on mid-tier titles which typically aren't things that I like.

There's a lot of upcoming releases that I'll be getting from them though: Index, Railgun, Shiki, Kuragehime, and if Tatami Galaxy every gets a home video release then I'll for sure pick that up as well.
