Tales of Zestiria the X was a surprise to see considering aniplex has gotten most of ufotable shows and i pretty much new they where gonna get hanada-kun since they got barakomon. Its a pretty solid line up i guess, know im just waiting on sentai to announce food wars season 2.

Once again I am reminded that I must have terrible taste, because it appears Funimation has licensed the majority of the shows I am looking forward to next season.
On the one hand I'm glad that I still have my subscription since I had been thinking that Funi hasn't had a lot of great shows the past couple of seasons, but on the other, Crunchyroll's player is just so much better, that alone makes me kinda sad when Funi gets the simulcast. Love Live is a real surprise though, but it makes sense that a bigger company would want to grab it now that's it's so popular. But, assuming Funi's dubbing it, I wonder what they'll do if Muse makes a cameo? It'd be a shame for them to recast them. |

Tales of Zestira the X is the surprise one on that list. Thought Aniplex would license it. Really, I hope CR also get the show..

So between CR and Funimation, I guess almost all 30+ summer titles will be licensed? I was underwhelmed by the initial season production list, this whole "guess what we have and they don't!" game isn't interesting to me. ...With Hulu gone, is AoA trying to sublicense their stuff between CR and funi? Bound to be a few I'll watch- maybe Time Travel Girl will turn out to be an anime Bill and Ted, anime's done stranger things- or try but I'm not expecting much. Lord of Calamity? 7 vampire lords known as 7 Servamps? Mechs? Bishonens, bishonens and more bishonens? A "You must have seen this many episodes to get this series" shows, aka, ongoing shonen or prequels? The Love Live spinoff? Ok, I probably will watch that. And what is a vortex of fate? I know what a vortex is and I know what fate is but unless you're destined to get sucked into a black hole, they're not connected. A mess of trouble, a peck of problems, a deadly date with destiny. Unless it is literally Fate's vortex. But isn't she still with Nanoha? |

It's that I live in Argentina and the economy to buy new stuff is really bad |

I am pleasantly surprised by funi's line up so far. it is weird that they got love live since NISA had the licence to the earlier series and if they are exiting the anime scene would be a shame, since I loved their dub of toradora.

Unless FUNi decides to finish the remaining 52 D.Gray-man's episodes, them picking up Hollow seems odd, as far as "being there for the fans" go.

For the love of consistency on my shelf, I hope NIS America is still doing anime and gets the home video rights for Love Live Sunshine. But if FUNimation gets it all, I hope the original English voice actresses reprise their roles if there are any μ's cameos (probably like some in-show TV spot) should there be a dub of the show...
Maybe this is a result of some relationship with Bandai Visual since there's also Tales and they did also stream Iron-Blooded Orphans. Last edited by Asrialys on Thu Jun 23, 2016 1:11 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I was hoping Funimation's offerings would be as barren as they were in spring, so I wouldn't have to put up with their services. Them getting Sunshine is basically a worst case scenario for me, since that was one of my most anticipated summer shows.

Okay, I'm confused. Do Funimation have full rights to Love Live Sunshine? Or are they sharing the rights with CR (a la DRRR and Erased) but just got around to announcing it before CR did?
Assuming they did get full rights... CALLED IT. I swear to God I was talking about this with one of my friends the other day. I mean they exhausted so much great female talent in LA with the original show's dub which begs the question 'Who are they gonna cast in Sunshine?'. I mentioned the possibility of Funimation getting it. After all, a switch to Texas means they've got a whole other pool of talent to go through. I mentioned the possibility that Funimation may have been paying attention to the hype. NISA got super lucky with Love Live because they picked it up at a time when no one else wanted it and reaped the benefits once it took off in the west. Now it's probably their most successful series yet (Aside from maybe Toradora). Regardless of whether or not Funi have full rights, this means that my assumption was correct. If CR don't have it I guess this means I've gotta rely on Animelab to bring it to Australia. spoiler[FOR GOD'S SAKE PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE HANABEE]
I have so many questions |

They have Love Live Sunshine? As happy as I am that someone is streaming it I don't want them to every have home media rights. NIS should license it for a home release.

What surprises me is that LLS(Love Live Sunshine) was licensed by Funi yet they have done nothing with symphogear which has 3 seasons with 2 to follow. Can someone please explain that to me (I'll be very grateful). But nice lineup nonetheless still waiting for the announcement of Magia HxH will it be funi or CR *Trevor Noah voice* "Nobody knows."

I think this is great. There are actually titles Funi got that I want to watch, D.Gray being my most anticipated. I really hope DGM finally gets a full dub, or even Stage Two licensed. Please. I'm tired of watching fansubs, and even an official release of the subs would be a heck of a lot better.
Danganronpa too, nice. Servamp looks somewhat interesting as well. |

They never had the home video license, nor did their original stream go that well. I'd actually say it was outright terrible. |

So far Funimation is only streaming Love Live Sunshine. No one has home media rights yet. |
