spoiler[Vandread, Soul Eater, & Evangelion] look to be sure things.


I hope to all things holy that you are correct about spoiler[Rebuild of Evangelion]. That would make my entire year.

Guys in AnimeOnDVD forums are in the process of figuring out the clues:

...and they're pretty plausible if I say so myself.

I'm worried that out of the shows that were C+D a few months back, Seto No Hanayome hasn't gotten a confirm in regards to licencing.

spoiler[Vandread, Soul Eater, & Evangelion] look to be sure things.


Clue 1: spoiler[Vandread]
Clue 2: spoiler[Gad Guard]
Clue 3: spoiler[Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo]
Clue 4: spoiler[Last Exile]
Clue 5: no idea
Clue 6: spoiler[Soul Eater]
Clue 7: spoiler[Evangelion Rebuild movies]
Clue 8: spoiler[Dokkoida?!]


I hope you're correct about Gankutsuou, Last Exile, and Vandread.

Of course, they also need to get Girls Bravo, Kannazuki No Miko, Bastard!!, Fushigi Yuugi (Considering that Solid Snake is in it), Fighting Spirit, L/R: Licensed by Royalty, Trigun, Serial Experiments Lain (I still need to get vol. 4, but if FUNi or someone else rescues it and does a cheap box set, I'll still be able to finish it), Gungrave, El Hazard, Samurai Champloo (I may already have it, but you still never want to see a show go out of print), DearS, and Chobits.

But why stop with former Geneon shows? There's also some old Manga Entertainment, Urban Vision, Tokyopop, and CPM titles that could use some rescuing.

You forgot Ai Yori Aoshi, Stellvia, X, and Haibane Renmei.

I'd love to see Kaiba licensed, but I don't think FUNi would take a chance with it. Seems more like a Geneon title, but sadly, they're not around anymore to pick up the seinen titles.

This.

I would absolutely love to own a nice shiny Kaiba boxset. Unfortunately, I don't see FUNi picking it up anytime soon. Anime cry

We'll find out for sure come Monday, but I'm pretty confident that these three are among the ten.

But then again I already own Gankutsuou, Last Exile, and Vandread so it doesn't matter to me, but good for those that didn't get them the first time around.

Indeed, I've wanted to buy Last Exile and Vandread, this would make it quite easy. And of course, Soul Eater and Eva 1.0 getting licensed would be SWEET.

Who cares if they're grabbing Last Exile, you can buy the entire show for less than $6 a disk right now. Ohhh wow, they'll make some fancy freaking box and call it a rescue, big whoop. If they do that with Gankutusuou however, it would be nice, assuming it were waaaaay cheaper.

Anyway, most of those rescues are still available for purchase off places like Rightstuf, but them being older titles should mean they won't sell as well.

It doesn't get much cheaper than this: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/H110eq3u8seZJdbBn6/browse/search/5/4/0/0/results/desc/asc/50/1

About Soul Eater, the show is getting close to done airing, so flinging those C&D's would be nearly pointless at this rate, considering they'd only be selling the show in a boxset with 13 episodes AT MOST, and that would at least be a like nine months off, well after the show ends.

As for Eva, I can't see it being for all the movies at once, and that's not usually how the Japanese would conduct business anyway, so it'll just be for the first one.

Since the first Tsubasa box came out recently, I wonder if one of the 10 could be Tokyo Revelations. I can't imagine them not picking it up since they licensed the whole series unless there are issues we don't know about. At any rate, I'd be fairly surprised if we don't get at least an announcement within a year unless there's something really wrong.

I have a feeling there will be at least 2 licenses that will make me super happy. Maybe... just hoping it'll be 3. Soul Eater I know nothing about, and there is possibilities in AOD mentioned that it could mean Spice & Wolf, which I would strongly like to see licensed.

I don't see any likelihood of new shows being licensed based on the hints, but I would love to hear about Toradora or To Aru Majutsu no Index being licensed.
