I may be totally wrong about this, but I think that because Funi has Tsubasa that would make them lean more towards CCS. But I don't know how popular Tsubasa is.

I don't think I saw anyone mention Fushigi Yuugi in this thread yet as a title people want picked up. I know that was a Geneon title - did Funi or someone else get it? If not, I hope they list that also.


A fellow Fushigi Yuugi fan...looks like we're both in the same boat.

As for CCS, if FUNi can get xxHOLiC and Tsubasa, they can get CCS and give it a new, uncut dub. (Look at what they did with One Piece--the first English dub was hacked to hell, then 4Kids lost it, FUNi swiped it up, and now they're treating it a lot better.)


Count me in on FY too. I'm willing to pay out the nose for something I like (hell, I paid $100 for the Yami no Matsuei boxset...) but the $400-$500 for FY was just too much, even in 2000.

I'm just happy I picked up Bastard!! already, even if it was the VHS boxset.

I don't see why Geneon couldn't charge prices that are actually reasonable for their box sets. Why couldn't they? What did they think was going to happen? (No wonder they went under!)

Bastard!! could also stand to be rescued. Just because it's an older show does NOT mean it can't be rescued! (It's because of its OOP status that I had to download rips of it.)

Personally, I didn't like Champloo enought to shell out 160 bucks for the set way back when, so here's hoping for a more economical release this time.

Didn't they already release this a loooooooooooooong time ago? I remember renting the whole series on Netflix like 3 years ago.

I hope FUNi picked it up to do something different with it, Blu-Ray or Hulu.
