15 months? No. There are around 9 months in between Summer 2011 and Spring 2012. |

BakaTest has already been licensed for release by FUNi.
I think summer or fall of this year is the projected release (though no official date yet I think) |

Ah okay, I meant 15 months after it finished airing since I assumed that this is what you meant. It just seems to me like we didn't have to wait quite as long for other BD/DVD releases like Canaan, for example. When you put it that way, 9 months isn't all that bad, but I find it odd that they would announce it soooo much in advance. |

Kinda a while till then, but at least it is coming out before the end of the world. Not sure if Rosario+Vampire will make it out before then though.

And, indeed, this is more in the nature of confirming a leak rather than a deliberate decision to announce this license exactly now. |

This is awesome news! I can't wait to see Shiki on a screen bigger than my little laptop's. Certainly hoping Kuragehime gets released as well

Something to remember is that Canaan was only a 12/13 episode series I believe, while Shiki was 22 TV episodes with 2 DVD/BD-only episodes. It had 6 BD volumes while Shiki has 9. Vol 6 of Canaan came out 3/17/2010 in Japan, and the Canaan BD and DVD sets hit stores 10/26/2010, so that is within the 6-12 month standard timeframe to be expected. Also, Sentai doesn't dub nearly as much stuff as FUNimation, so they can frankly put out their newly acquired stuff faster. But yeah, the difference between a 7 month wait and a 9 month wait isn't that drastic. It's just two different companies' method of announcing their license acquisitions. |

That suits me just fine; takes a load off my backlog and I get an official release.

Well, to be fair to Funi, I don't believe they intended to announce this just yet. What happened is they put up a splash page (for reasons that I don't quite understand) which got noticed by Rukiia, who mentioned it here in ANN Talkback, and then I guess Funi decided there would be little point in denying it, so they made the announcement official. That being said, there is often quite a long lag time between a Funi announcement and a Funi release. For myself, I prefer knowing something is officially licensed even if it means a lengthy wait as opposed to no announcement and then wondering if that title will actually ever get picked up. |

I have wait since the time Funimation brocast Shiki. Now it is the time, yay!
I don't know if they will really release Shiki in 2012 (still to early to be sure. Funimation might cancel it anytime), but me too, do prefer to know that there is some percentage that they will license it. |
