Glad some people enjoyed it, but dang, that game was just freaking terrible in almost all aspects to me. |

Guess I might as well give up hopes of ever seeing "Rainbow" get a physical release, considering they streamed it way back in 2010. What a shame, considering that it's a such a beautiful and heart-wrenching show.

Yes, Hataraku Maou-sama is getting a physical release! Who's releasing it? Oh wait, Funimation you say? ****.
Funimation has really dropped the ball the last few times I bothered to check out their releases. First Fullmetal Alchemist had locked subtitles, which was rather irritating cause (at the time) I had planned to learn Japanese. Oh well. Now I hear that Binbougami ga (Good Luck Girl) does the exact same thing AND has video problems. Great. To top it off they release the EDITED BROADCAST version of Sankarea. Wow. To be fair they are sending people who bought Sankarea replacement discs, but it's still just mind blowing that they would make such a mistake. If I bother to get Sankarea I'll wait until they release another updated version. If you couldn't tell I don't have much faith in Funimation. I'm sure that somewhere in my collection I have some Funi releases but I've never had any problems other than those mentioned. It's...rather strange. I know why they lock the subtitles but it's still irritating. |

Senran Kagura has boob ninjas so yeah it's getting a dub. And since the Devil Is A Part-Timer was a successful show in Japan and has quite a few fans already, chances are almost certain of it getting a dub. Although I am sad that they still haven't licensed Symphogear.  (which I am perfectly willing to watch subbed).

I will definitly buy Senran Kagura and Hataraku Maou-sama. Loved the both of them.
You don't know what you are talking about, or you just focused too much on the fanservice aspect and neglicted the other good points of the game. SK is quite interesting in how it try to break your expectations for a "fanservice" game and how it try to blend sexy comedy and more serious, darker themes. |

Actually, Funimation does have Symphogear... Well, at least they have Season 1 of that show, that is. |

I think AbZero is referring to home video rights, which Funimation hasn't announced yet. They also didn't acquire the following seasons, so it's likely they won't release season 1. |

^ From what I've heard over on FUNi's forums, Symphogear has licensing issues with music rights.
Plus it probably underperformed for them in the first place. |

To answer an above post, I did mean home video rights since I refuse to use Funimation's subpar streaming service and Funico was a disaster back and front. But if Lance or whomever is reading this thread, Symphogear would be a must-buy for me(and the 2nd season is much better than the 1st). I imagine that it got quite a bit of fansub traffic. Somehow I imagine the music rights issues are that Funi wants to dub the insert songs and Starchild or Satelight or whomever wants the songs to remain in the original Japanese. |

Or wants extra money for 'em. Record companies want their cut, whether the original music or derivations. |
