I just downloaded Senran Kagura on 3DS last night... Good stuff. Why don't Funimation team with Xseeds for a promotion of some kind. Also ill be buying all but Hetalia because no Bluray no buy.

Hetalia didn't get a BD release in Japan, so Funi is just making do with what they have.

Yeah, I was also thinking XSEED and Funimation could have collaborted with each other with this franchise, especially since XSEED put this title out pretty quick since it was announced.

Anyways not a bad game, if you liked Code of Princess then you'll probaley enjoy this game.

It seemed like XSEED was scared of any extra attention in the US. They admitted they so themselves in their reluctance and why they limited it to digital release only.

Sometimes xseed pop up on /v/ to do an AMA for people, and yeah, with all the Shonen Jump Weekly people strangle-holding the western industry lately lately they wanted the game to be low-profile. Physical release would have been nice, though, but.. probably not possible in this tyranny right now Laughing They also wanted it to be uncensored which probably factored in some how.

For a little bit it was outselling A Link between Worlds on the eShop. This game is rated T and totally uncut...... For perverts like me its amazing Anime smile.

I know Hetalia will get a dub, but after that business with OniAi, I'm not so sure whether Senran Kagura or Hataraku Maou-sama (I'm not quite used to seeing the English title for that one yet) will. I'm one of those "no dub, no purchase" people, so...

well give those coming in 2014 as long one thing for certain let both senran kagura & maou-sama have dub as well.

give senran we know Funi-service history of it so certain for dub as for maou sama oh yes please this is dub worthy.

Devil is a Part-Timer will no doubt get a dub but the idea of Senran Kagura getting a dub over OniAi...

The only thing that Kagura has over OniAi is "ninja action" and you don't have to dub that.
