So, they're streaming them a week later then the Japanese, and (as several people mentioned) knowing Funi's track record they'll probably be censored. Yeah...

That blows. I'll just watch the uncensored version Sunday and then stream Funimation's on Tuesday in the background, assuming it is indeed censored.


That's what I'm doing as well.

Still, glad they picked this up, 'cause I like it even if its inferior to the manga. Hopefully they don't take out the large amount of characterization it does with Satellizer.

And for those of you getting misonception's about the chick about the chick in lingerie at the end spoiler[she's a villian, yes, but used more as a foil to Satellizer, to help the characterization I was talking about.]

Have you watched this? Yea, it's pretty plotless, but major pwnage is always +1 in my book!!!

so wait how long will this one last till the come up with Fractal point and pull the same stunt. I am betting around episode one. The new game in town.


though i hope to see that not happen.


I seriously doubt it, as there are already illegal fansubs of this show on the internet before the simulcast has even started.

WTF? That's some of the worst censoring I've seen. If FUNi's version is censored, I'll definitely be waiting for the R1 release.

I love Freezing. I'm gonna buy uncensored Freezing DVD Limited Edition (please add to blu-ray).


Yea, I'm with you on that one, I hope they do a Limited Edition of this one. I'm so glad FUNi brought back the Limited Edition/Incentives. I'm eagerly awaiting my LE Black Butler S1 Pt1 set!! I wish they would've done the FMAB sets that way as well!

Like I said, if censored, I'll be waiting for R1s, if uncensored, definitely be watching the simulcasts.

And, I would probably buy this even if it sucked, just to support Dall-Young-sa-bum-nim and Sung-Woo-sa-bum-nim!!

Stay away from the opening, because it's pretty addictive! Cool

Shocked Is it me or do those breasts look like giant bowling balls or balloons? It must be real easy to get a strike with those things... Laughing
In all seriousness though, how could a person's body even support itself with that attached to their bodies?

Wow, it's like that one episode of Asobi ni Ikuyo on Crunchyroll.

That makes my heard hurting thinking of the earlier episodes of that series where I had to stop because of that. That's why I am waiting until someone fansubs the entire uncut episodes from the BD's.

My thoughts exactly. You'll get used to them soon once you start watching it though.

OK, I don't know the source material, but here's what I've gathered from the first two episodes:

You got it all wrong, Freezing's is more like an "inverse banchou" where the juvenile delinquents are the girls and the boys are there to limit (remember that word) their badass-ness. Oh, yeah, you have an alien invasion in the best Evangelion tradition, they appear out of nowhere, do some tremendous but limited scope damage until stopped, rinse, repeat.

I had trouble taking the Haruhi Suzumiya anime seriously because of Mikuru. But with a chest that could probably have its own gravitational pull... I'm not sure if I'll be able to get used to that. However this series reminds me a bit of Witchblade so I may check it out.

Hopefully there will be little or no drama like there was with Fractale.

Censoring is expected but this is an action packed series and these girls get Brutal.

IRL they are called back muscles and I for one am glad that this girls do have wide backs (unlike the wimpy sailor moon girls) to compensate for the extra weight. What are you thinking "There is no way a mangaka has thought so far ahead"= :-p

Might check this out. Haven't heard good things at all about this show, but I kind of want to watch something with ridiculous fanservice for a change. I don't like the sounds of the gore/violence in this show though.
