They licensed Ouran and are releasing it in two boxsets that cover the entire series, not singles. Meaning Slayers Revolution would be one set, and Evolution-R would be another. I think the only singles they're really doing are for the titles they rescued from other companies and finished releases for, like Kanon. Regardless, the digital release comes out next year so there won't be that much waiting. Next year is in just a couple of days, folks.

Why yes, I have. They're also releasing singles for Claymore and Darker than Black, which are titles that are just as big as Ouran, so your argument in invalid.

Uh...Aquarion, Ghost Hunt, and several others have gotten the half-series treatments and were released in fairly short order.

And you know that your precious fansubs are technically illegal now that the hold the Slayers license, yeah?

Ugh I apparently got my hopes up for no reason. Neither Seto or Spice. I have no interest in any of these shows(except Count maybe) and the others I already have. The only way this event could be any worse for me is no Soul eater or Eva.

What you do is YOUR business, but the anime industry IS taking a heavy blow from unscrupulous types who feel they're owed shows for free.

Though I imagine the biggest thing isn't getting the show for free, it's being able to see it concurrently to when the Japanese do.

Why is this so important anyway? I never really understood the seemingly unquenchable need to see anime shows 2 seconds after they air in Japan.

Can anybody give me even a vague idea of how long it takes to dub a series, and maybe a little bit of what might be involved? I know it's a somewhat broad question, but it's seems likely that FUNimation will post the dub online, unless they can manage to get the streaming rights for this Slayers series. Hence, the reason for my question. Also, if they can get streaming rights for subtitles, what might the odds be for seeing Revoltion and Evolution-R being released online at the same time?

As for how the series will be released, I would say box sets in this instance. It seems to make sense to sell Revolution and Evolution-R as two separate sets rather than a lot of singles. It's much less awkward than singles would be, with cleaner divisions.

You'd make a great evil scientist, walw6pK4Alo.

Good guy: Why are you doing this?
walw6pK4Alo: Because I can!

And by great, I meant stereotypical and shallow.
