Vampire Bund is a cheap fanservice anime, you say? Watch it first. The whole thing, of course. That or explain to us why would Funi pay for two anime when only one is obviously worth dubbing.

Yes, Funimation you just know what to give me. Never expected them to license these shows to quickly. I really like the manga of Dance in the Vampire Bund and the whole idea of the show. I will definitely like to see this dubbed. I also, like the whole story behind Baka & Test.
Although, not to rain on anyone's parade but doesn't Baka & Test seem like the same thing as Special A (well I quess more like an inverse of Special A but still the same concept). I mean they license this (not even when it's done releasing) but they passed on Special A? Kinda sucks that that is the case, But glade they got this show at least. Don't get me wrong, I'm more then glad to see this show licensed, just wondering why a show just like it didn't make the cut and this one did. That's all. 
I must say, funimation just seem to be getting more and more shows this year. I mean if you go count the shows that were announsed last year to air this year. How many will that be? Last edited by rinkwolf10 on Thu Mar 04, 2010 11:43 pm; edited 2 times in total |

 FUNIMATION BLINDSIDE!!
I did not see Vampire Bund coming especially THIS SOON!! This is a pleasant surprise. It's nice to see a Anime company doing a few more "grown up" titles in their repertoire. I wonder what they'll do when they see the Opening.

Just like you're doing to us with your comments? Pretty selfish if you ask me. Why don't you follow me example and be a nice girl. |

Sorry if I want to express my opinion. You may be happy with this "godly" acquisition as everyone is making it sound, but I'm not, and I'll say what I'll feel about it.

Expressing your opinion about something you haven't seen wholly. Blind opining? Just like blind buy, though in this case you don't know what you're opining about, other than the cover. Yes, judging a book from its cover has been proven to be extremely effective since ancient times. |

This is awesome news. I haven't watch Vampire Bund as of yet, but I've definitely been watching Baka to Test. It's one of the funniest anime that I've seen in a while. It's pure genius. And since it's Funi, we know it's going to get a dub. This announcement is definitely music to my ears.
But that's what Funi's known for. They're always massaging their translations to flow better and work better in English than a fairly literal translation would. They're frequently criticized for it, in fact. Whether they'd go about it quite the same way as gg, I don't know, but there's no way that they're going to go for a super literal translation. Personally, I don't like gg's subs because the language in it is far too strong (frequent f-bombs and the like), whereas as other fansubs' translations for Baka to Test and translations for the same or similar phrases in other shows don't end up being strong swear words. |

Just that one image in the article for this thread raises all kinds of red flags. And as for why FUNimation would want this, there's money to be made in lolicon pedophilic moe garbage. It's basically what's keeping the industry alive in Japan right now, and they're banking on those types of American fans wanting to put money towards this stuff as well. |

They gutted the manga. This isn't an adaptation but something pretty much new. Most of the stuff in the manga is NECESSARY later on. They made it much more cliche. |

Bitch, bitch, bitch; whine whine whine. Once again a license-announcement thread has delved into the same old boring crap with the same ol' whiners whining about the same ol' thing. And seriously, its gotten to the point that the moment I see someone is comparing an anime to its manga counterpart I immediately stop reading and ignore any further comments of the series in question made by said user completely. You peeps are annoying.
FUNi doing more simulcasts at all is a good thing, even if they didn't get your desired show. They're trying to meet one of the big desires of anime fans (shortening the time to release to the public) and yet people still talk crap on them for not chosing "their show"? Ungrateful... |

Brilliant you say? I could think of 5 different ways that Mina could reveal the existence of Vampires and the Bund. Not one of them is so insipid as spoiler[hiding in a Japanese Variety Show Audience while hunting down a rogue vampire. Oh, and shaky camera recording of that vampires death FTMFF.]
Pot calling the kettle black. DitVB actually seems to be suffering from what Hollywood does with established properties. Basically ignoring the source material and adopting a whole new perspective in the matter. Heck, the most insulting aspect of the anime is that spoiler[Akira is shown as a complete jerk in outright denying the existence of Vampires in retrospect to the manga.] |

1st: Akira wasn't a jerk he LOST his memories. But you didn't even watch that far, didn't you? 2nd: The manga AUTHOR asked for the anime to be different from his manga. Do some research, before you get all high-and-mighty. |
