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.

I think they're just trying to complete their Gonzo collection.. or they had to pick up older stuff like Gad Guard as a condition for getting something new like Strike Witches.

Yeah, but why bother announcing all of these rescues like they're something huge, new, or important. All of the rescues should have been merged into one day so like 15 people out there could go yay. Effectively they're only grabbing three new shows, which is all anyone cares about.

It's not like the DVDs for the other shows fell off the face of the earth, with any kind of googling you can find them. This is unlike those ADV rescues where ADV was in mid-production.

I'm sorry... I just can't buy Gad Guard.

you know why?

Cause I can't believe there are people who actually still care about it.

Normal show, normal robots, jazzy intro, that's all I remember. Had a release in like what? 03? 04?

and the way people are drawing the conclusion... Pulling the words from the clues? Like it's gonna blatantly be stuck in there. I just CAN'T buy Funimation wasting their time.

If they do license it... really, what a waste. Rather Than Spice and Wolf, they'd pick something like that. *rolls eyes*

Aw, come on, people are having fun deciphering the clues and are happy that shows they will probably be rescued - why complain? I think it's a great thing.
