Definitely happy that we're getting more One Piece and Fairy Tail, plus it's great the films got picked up too. Also happy for home video of Sankarea. Maken-ki I'll probably pick up, but it just kinda fell flat in the end, so I'm in no real rush to get it.

Excellent news that they picked up Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection. I wonder if this is either a precursor to licensing Space Battleship Yamato 2199 or something they're going to test the waters with how popular Star Blazers/Yamato still is in the US.


Oh man, I just realized that's what got licensed. I was all excited, thinking this announcement was for 2199...

I was expecting another season of Fairy Tail, but them getting the movie this soon was a great surprise Cool Will pre-order both.

I'm guessing Leah Clark will play Carla; not so sure with Wendy but I hope they give Lara Woodhull (Rosalie in the FMA Brotherhood OVA) a chance...

That's the only thing that could've made this announcement better. But for now I can live with more One Piece and Fairy Tail.

More One Piece! Yes! More Fairy Tail! Yes! Yes! Tenchi spin off OVA I never thought would come over to the US. Yes, yes, yes! DVD release of Fujiko series. 100% yes! Space Battleship Yamoto Resurrection. Nice surprising yes! I was hoping for some kinda roku app start date to be announced this weekend other then the Late July/August previously announced. Okay according to the report on panel now Mid-August but still no actually start date.

"Shut up and take my money" is now a bannable offense.

That is the only reason I listened to a stream of the panel. Shame nobody asked about it.


I think they have put Dragonball Franchise on a well deserved break. The Market was/is simply over saturated with it which i believe is why they stopped the Blu Rays because it was just too much.

Over the Last year we had

Dragonball Movies
Dragonball Z Movies (re release)
DBZ Kai BLR Volumes
DBZ Kai DVD Volumes
DBZ Kai BLR Collections
DBZ Kai DVD Collections
DragonBoxes
Dragonball Z Blu Rays

all that combined with what happened in the years running up to it i just wonder if they decided to take a break and comeback fresh. Maybe in two years when its cheaper Restart the DBZ blurays and maybe next year the DragonBall Dragon Boxes.

Just my opinion

Wow they got the rights to One Piece Strong World. Finally! This might be the time I buy my first blu-ray for an anime, or in this case anime movie. The others looks good to like Lupin and Maken-ki. Nice job Funimation Smile

That seems ironic considering the art and figures I've seen for it.
