It wasn't on the market for too long so it's a good opportunity for fans like me to pick it up for a decent price. But I heartily agree that a rerelease of Cardcaptor Sakura would be wonderful. |

You can't just license the other stuff without 'Samurai Champloo'. Wouldn't be the same without this great title. Glad to see they're bringing it back.

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked, I've already got a fairly long list of anime I'd like to get and as now I've added three from these new announcements to my list. (thats a lot of money and very good news for me). (Last Exile, Samurai Champloo, and Gungrave. Not to mention that I've been humming and hawing about picking up the Slayers series for awhile now, so if I do get that thats another 4 sets. :O) Anyway, IMO this has provided a lot of great news! And I'm really glad that funimation has rescued a lot of shows that I would have otherwise missed. (not just now from new show a go go, but even earlier too. - I was able to get Fate/Stay Night, and I also plan to get Welcome to the NHK, and Ergo Proxy. Anyway, IDK what people were expecting, maybe I'm not dissapointed because I didn't know what to expect, and thus didn't make retardedly high expectations. But seriously people should stop complaining, if you don't like it don't buy any of these particular shows. Also for all the people who are like: "Oh I'm boycotting funi now because they didn't release series "X" that I wanted." Are you stupid? You'd cut off your nose to spite your face? Its possible that they still have other series you may want to buy, or may release one down the line. Anyway @ Lance. . . ah so its possible that there will be more announcements later. As for Soul Eater and Evangelion, not to bash anyone's opinions as I respect everyones but I don't really get why everyone was/is so stoked for these. I just checked up on both using this site, and while I'm sure Soul Eater is good, it doesn't sound very interesting (to me anyway). As for Evangelion, I've heard tons of good things about it, but there are like 20 different editions and re-releases so I'm not interested at all because I wouldn't know whats going on or understand the series. (additionally I've heard that isn't this yet another re-release or remake of part of the series?) Anyway, not stepping on anyones toes, but as far as I'm concerned things turned out for the better as they are. Besides Lance has hinted that Funi may yet have an ace up there sleave. |

Ditto.
Well, when this first started, they said "10 shows; 10 days." But if they end up licensing more than that then I'm sure nobody will complain (especially if it's Soul Eater or the Eva movie). |

Oh Hell yes! I've been wanting to finish watching Samurai Champloo for FOREVER! And it's something I think my non-anime fiance might enjoy
I always look at the box set at FYE/Suncoast and think $200? I don't think so :/ (Even w/ a backstage pass discount - ouch!) I'm guessing they are gonna do an Ouran-like release? Part I and II? I wouldn't mind that. Around $80-$100 for the whole season is far more reasonable. It would be nice if they did it all together, though, for around $60 like Shakugan no Shana

Awww, I guess it was silly of me to hope for the 3rd season of Kyo Kara Maoh! to be licensed...

Yay! Thanks funimation! Now you're going to be getting even more of my money... I guess that's a good thing.

Same here, but I really wanted the new Eva 1.0 movie licensed today. Although I did like this series, I could easily rent this via Netflix. Overall though, Oh Edo Rocket, Slayers Revolution and the resuce of Vandread, this has been a great eight days. Hopefully the new Eva movie is licensed eventually. Though I really wanted to see Hare and Guu Final licensed or Toradora licensed, at least Slayers was licensed and some other interestingi anime. |

I managed to get lucky with Samurai Champloo. FYE had marked down all the individual volumes to $13 each, AND they had a "buy 2 anime DVDs, get a $10 gift card" sale going on. I asked the cashier if I could use the gift cards to deduct from my purchase, and he said yes. So after all that and my 10% Backstage discount, I got all 7 volumes for about $55-60. Pretty good deal. Granted, that means no artbox, but I might try to find that for cheap someday.
Still, if there was one Geneon series I could save from being OOP, this would be it, so good job Funi! Watanabe FTW! Though I do hope for another countdown soon (since Lance suggested that Funi might be doing so), since despite people pointing out 11 shows have been licensed so far, I doubt both Soul Eater and Eva will be licensed tonight (but I could, hopefully, be wrong). |
