Isn't that how Lucky Star was announced as licensed? A trailer on Haruhi Suzumiya? I like that. It's a nifty surprise for those who preorder.

I could be wrong (hey, it's been known to happen) but I think Funi's license rescue of Eureka Seven (along with some other Bandai titles) was already announced a few months back.

I can't recall anything stating that Funi had gotten the rights to Eureka Seven, and can't find anything going back in ANN's news that states it as well.
But I'm assuming that it may have been picked up around the same time as the other Bandai titles Funi rescued, but couldn't announce it at the time for one reason or another.

Yeah, that was probably the announcement I was thinking of, as well. More proof my memory is highly unreliable (as if more proof was needed).

The website in that last picture brings you to the page for Eureka Seven AO. Perhaps that's all that meant, and not the previous Eureka Seven series. But, all things considered, it would make sense for Funimation to get the first series.

If they do have the first series, I wish they would give it a nice LE release. It deserves it.

Those would be titles from SUNRISE. Eureka Seven is from Bandai Visual.
Eureka Seven info initially came from Previews on October 18th (some of the stuff have been taken down now). The home video releases was likely originally planned for January 2014 but for some reason it didn't happen. The time frame makes sense especially with the trailer popping up with a December 2013 release.
Below is what was found from Previews. Consider everything below as preliminary.

From FUNimation! For Renton, every day's the same. Nothing happens, nothing changes. He goes to school, he goes home. The only thing that keeps him happy is lifting on his ref board. Then one day, a giant mecha called an "LFO" comes crashing down on him - literally - and inside is the most beautiful girl he's ever seen! Of course, the girl is on the run, and the mecha is stolen, and she's brought the force of the military down on both of them in their pursuit the stolen mecha! Renton will have to summon up all his courage to face his childhood hero; get the girl he's hopelessly smitten with to like him and, ultimately, live up to the legacy of his father... who saved the world. Well, at least things aren't boring anymore! Available in Blu-Ray and DVD formats. |

I just watched said trailer (after 17 episodes of One Piece in 5 hours...) and two things:
1st: I didn't know this show was 4:3. Since it came out in 2005 I just assumed it was 16:9. Not a big deal, but I didn't know.
B: That trailer looked awful. I had to double check to make sure my glasses were on because it was blurry as hell. If that trailer is any indicative of the upcoming release, I may hunt down Bandai copies. Seriously, it was terrible.
Cool trailer, though.

You know, since I don't know how to upload videos, I was gonna take some screenshots to show how bad it looked, and something hit me: I think it's just a badly edited trailer. Because when I rewatched it, I noticed that it's not just the video parts that look fuzzy, even the blurbs edited into jumpcuts look awfully blurry. Look for yourself:
See? Fuzzy.
However, here's the first blurb:
Fuzzy again. So I think it's just a poorly rendered(right word?) trailer, not poor video masters.

Hey, WTK, I just looked at your OP for the first time in a while and I notice that C3 (C cubed) is not listed any where in it. Does that mean that for sure Funi is not doing a physical release of it?
It also seems like the non-rescue license part of Funi's cupboard is somewhat bare unless you just aren't listing certain things in the OP.

It got accidentally left off. The post overal needs to be updated anyways. I will try to do that sometime this weekend.
In regards to C3. I think the ship has sailed on that. I don't expect FUNimation to release it on home video.

King, I'm not 100% positive but judging from the '05 air date Eureka was probably an SD work. BDs might not look that great for it. There are some out in Japan right? Maybe we can check the screenshots.
