Not a fan of this anime (due to its questionable genre), but Funi has already licensed its 2nd season, so I'm sure Funi will license the 1st season soon. |

Sure did take awhile for the S;G movie, then again anyone who wanted it would have already imported the dvd or bluray since it had subs.
Hopefully they don't mess up the dub script like they did with the t.v series. |

I wonder if Funi will dub the Lucky Star ova? That would be awesome....I'm not expecting it though :3

I wonder if I should hold out and wait for Funi's version of the Steins;Gate movie, or go for the LE import. I doubt Funi will do anything special with it.

Seriously!!!! I honestly have given hope that Hyouka will ever get a NA release. It is probably my favorite KyoAni show too, so that sucks. If by some miracle it does though, I will be super thrilled. |

It's great that they got the rights to Haruhi and Lucky Star! It's good that they'll be back in print in the future and if they do a nice enough release of Lucky Star, I may even double dip. But I'm most excited about Funi licensing D-Frag! to be honest. That show was hilarious.

I honestly don't know why it's so underrated. I'm a big KyoAni fan and I would easily say Hyouka is their best work. As much as I would like more to be adapted, I doubt it's going to happen since it didn't really sell that well in Japan, apparently only a 'moderate' success. Looking through the comments though i'm glad there are still others waiting for it. |

I have to assume this means Haruhi will disappear from Crunchyroll before long.

Yay more awful quality encodes of shows I would otherwise pre-order on Blu-Ray instantly.
FUNimation is fine with the video quality on the encodes of theatrical films (like Rebuild, Summer Wars, Wolf Children etc.) so I hope Strike Witches and Steins; (though I already have that one from Japan) are given film treatment and not the awful TV series treatment (especially after I saw tons of praise for their Steins;Gate release quality which is one of the worst BDs I've ever seen). The Strike Witches film is fantastic and I'd love for it to look good on Blu-Ray in English so fingers crossed 
The same applies for if they get The Disappearance to go alongside Haruhi. |

I keep hearing that, but most Gundam series were among the shows that topped the Cartoon Network ratings at the time of their airings. Especially Wing, SEED and 00. How is Gundam not popular in the USA, especially Wing? Sounds a bit pessimistic to me. |

Very happy about the movies, but also very happy for Freezing Vibration. I know Freezing in a niche and its anime adaptation has been divergent, but it is still a pretty nice watch for me. Would love to own it in disc form.

I think it is ridiculous that it hasn't been licensed. It's Kyoani so it will sell and it actually got pretty good reviews, way better than Beyond the Boundary which already has been licensed. It just really annoys me that certain series will get licensed because of their genre no matter the fact they weren't very popular and yet other series aren't given a chance because of their genre. Sure not everything is going to go mainstream but that doesn't mean it won't sell just as much as the generic fanservice, horror or action series that ALWAYS gets picked up. |

Wing was fine. Seed and 00 on the other hand? Seed got horrible ratings due to the fact that CN kept moving it around and editing it. And 00 NEVER aired on CN. It never aired in Canada too, you know, where the voice cast is from. It only aired SyFy (on the short-lived anime block) and was absolutely butchered in terms of scenes being cut for commercials. |

Still don't understand what the big deal is about Haruhi.
I watched it and it's just another silly high school rom com with an annoying girl, an emotionless girl and a totally ineffectual guy. Same thing with Hatsune Miku...she's just a girl with green hair who sings songs, what's the big deal? |
