This. As soon as I read that he'll have a "big part" later on, this is the character that instantly leapt to mind, and hearing his voice on the Premium OVA collection, I'm inclined to believe he'll do rather well at it, too. And Funi, hurry up and announce that you'll be releasing FMA:B on BD already. I know you wanna, I know I'll buy it, so do it already!

I'm very happy to hear that Funimation is releasing all of it Initial D! Now I can finally complete my collection. Since I never watch dubbed versions I don't really care a re-dub or not, but I can see how if Funimation is even remotely serious about releasing it they'd want to change the dub. I have checked out the dub on the Tokyopop DVDs just to see if it really is as bad as people say, and it really is truly, spectacularly bad. It would be stupid of Funimation to keep that and then change the dub-cast and type of language used midway through the show. Since the current dub is made for the tricked out version, I assume it could have needed some tinkering to fit with the original video as well.
And as to the whole speculation if it's worth it or not to put the money into a re-dub, who can tell? I'm guessing they think it'll sell or they wouldn't release it. |

X was announced by MVM back in May. X has never been licensed or released here (other than the movie) and Geneon has never had a presence here (although I believe Pioneer once did, a long time ago) - all the Geneon USA shows that have been released here have been licensed (or sub-licensed) by other companies, like MVM (and a lot by ADV UK back in the day). The license hasn't necessarily expired since FUNimation have been re-licensing as well as distributing Geneon shows for a while.
In was wondering the same thing. |

I'm only looking forward to FMA:B and maybe Inital D.

yeah I hope they get CCS too, but I doubt it since the series was a sub release only unless they plan on dubbing it. I did find the official rare out of print DVDs on Ebay and the entire series was $1,000+. |

is it just me, or does FUNi have a nag for taking bad dubs, and saving them? hey FUNi, do me a favor and go take a visit over to 4kids, they have plenty of dubs you guys can save

Technically, FUNimation has the rights to distribute whatever anime titles Tokyopop still has. Tokyopop signed over distribution rights to FUNimation like two years ago. The only titles I know of that got re-released were GTO, and Initial D (with the original dub). |

Aaron as Ling sounds like a great idea! |

I'm glad FUNi isn't just sitting on it like I'd heard a few months back; they weren't going to release Fourth Stage because of lackluster sales of the Tokyopop dub.

It's nice for FMA fans to know that they got most of the original cast back. I think I even have seen on YouTube panels where Aaron said he knew might not be returning as Al. However, at least he will be in the show again.

I'm glad they're continuing Initial D. And I really hope they get a better voice cast cus the Tokyo Pop version was one of the worst dubs I ever heard.

Indeed. Car racing is as niche as moe which raises the question: when exactly will Vin Diesel's moe movie finally come out? I guess though that Initial D is about Japanese racing which is a lot more niche. That stuff would never fly in Americ...ah...never mind. |
