Since I run the delays topic on the funi forum I can say that they only got the materials for index/railgun and hellsing ultimate along with other earlier this month and are still waiting on some pieces of information supposedly from them (what IDK) http://www.funimation.com/funimation-general/forum/funimation-central/funimation-general/list-of-confirmed-properties-that/edit?destination=node%2F88103 |

I like that Sentai's picking up these licenses now, before the shows start airing. Plus they happen to be a little faster with their DVD releases compared to Funimation (and gee, thanks for taking nearly all the Tatami Galaxy episodes off of Youtube and never announcing any plans for a DVD release in the US. Of course I'm still mad about that!).
After reading the synopsis and watching the PVs for Horizon I still think it seems pretty half-baked (and quantity definitely does not equal quality when it comes to books), but then again I thought Escaflowne sounded bad before I watched it. So it's probably worth watching an episode or two before final judgment. |

They said Shiki will be released in Spring 2012. Rideback was released last June I believe. As for the news, I look forward to watching it. |

That being said Funi is ending the year with a pretty weak release lineup, especially when you look at the stellar titles they gave us last year during the holiday's. I know Sentai isn't looking much better but their not sitting on 20+ shows that were announced well over a year ago(and many of those have already been released).

Sentai has never filed for bankruptcy. Neither did ADV before them. In fact, ADV still exists in some form or another. |

I might give this show a shot,if not just because I think the design for the main is pretty interesting. Might be a little fanservicy for my taste though. Nice to see Sentai becoming a tad more active.

Ya, they are called Section 23/Sentai Filmworks. |

It always amuses me when people say things like this. Ignoring the easy remarks for your complete lack of grammar, I'll suggest that maybe they're, oh, I don't know, working on the loads of shows that they have previously licensed? Also, using only license announcements from the past few months to gauge which company is "cleaning who's clock"* is just silly. Why must people get into these company wars like gamers get into console wars? Let's just be glad that Sentai is branching out instead of just bringing us stuff like Daimo, ToLovRu, and Samurai Harem.** E-penis points really count for nothing guys. * Blood-, I saw the post where you said you were just kidding, that line was just the best example of what others are trying to do, so I used it. ** Just an example of how Sentai was indeed throwing out fanservice shows not long ago, ones that someone like me (who tends to enjoy a number of them) didn't even like. |

Thank you! At least there one person who has brought this up… This is more puzzling than FUNimation not getting it, given it's one of Sunrise's biggest (if not the biggest) series of the year. This is the second time this year that Bandai Ent. has not gotten a major series of their's, the other being Tiger & Bunny (which really made no sense considering it was a Bandai Visual title and had "Bandai" plastered on one of the lead's suits!). It seems like nowadays, BEI has more titles, including big-named properties from other studios and distributors (such as Aniplex), than they do from Sunrise or Bandai Visual. Just whose coffee did BEI piss in back in Japan? |

Probably a good thing, too, since the main special favor that Bandei Visual USA Inc. got from its parent Bandai Visual Co. Ltd. once the parent company started to take a serious interest in it, was being driven to continue business practices that drove it into the ground. |

I've heard that too, but since BEI handles their Honneamise label and have gotten some of BV's bigger releases in the past (i.e. Code Geass, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Wolf's Rain, Gundam), one would have surmised that they might have an "inside track" to getting stuff like Horizon and T&B. Of course, they haven't released every show from BV or Sunrise, but traditionally, they have done so for their bigger ones. |

A.D. Vision,Inc still exists as Section23 Films with AEsir holdings as the sole Owner of all Sentai Filmworks label,titles and properties. The only thing that's DEAD is "ADV Films" the label. |
