According to Amazon, FUNimation has license rescued Excel Saga.
Thanks to WTK on Mania for the tip. |

While I'm glad to see it being kept in print, I think I'll hunt down the Imperfect Collection instead for the ad-vidnotes and more artwork.

It is true, the AD-Vidnotes are awesome, I was actually a bit of an anime novice when I watched the show, the notes taught me so much. But I'd almost like some sort of Blu-Ray version, even if it's an upscale. I've always wanted to use a screencap of the girls dancing in the opening credits as a desktop wallpaper, but it looks like fuzzy crap. |

Oh man, I have made many a GIFs from this show... Good times, good times.
I doubt we'll see a Blu-Ray release though. Even for an upscale, they can't work with it unless it's in natural widescreen. They'd have to chop it up otherwise. |

Awwww, darn, Excel Saga is not Paranoia Agent, when are they gonna rescue that one? Seems far overdue if you ask me, I think I get a little angry at Funi every time they announce a rescue that isn't Paranoia Agent.

Same here. I tried watching this when I was newer fan, but I don't think I was ready to "get" it; Nabeshin being a whackadoo certainly didn't make it easier. Now that I'm more seasoned I like to try it again, but I want to have the vid-notes. Hey, if anything, the price for the original IM-Perfect Collection should go down  .

Excel's been out of print for awhile, glad they picked it up. I guess this means Funi now has the most Nabeshin titles considering they also have Tenchi GXP [and Baka and Test for that matter].

IIRC ADV trademarked the term. And it even has ADV in the name: AD-Vidnotes. Because of this, ADV probably kept them even though they lost the rights to the actual show itself. I guess it might be possible for FUNi to work out some kind of deal with ADV/Sentai to use them and just change the name, but that probably would be too complicated and time-consuming to bother with. |

Glad the show can be recirculated, even though I already own it.
Funi has been doing a lot of license rescues lately, which I definitely approve of. |

Maybe I will finally try to watch the whole thing. I rented the first volume, and only could watch the first episode. I really enjoy Tenchi GXP, & Nerima Daikon Brothers, but for some odd reason I could not get into this show....

If they come out with a nice upscale on bluray with some special features I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. I love Excel Saga, but I have the thin pack that is lacking any sort of extras what so ever.
