Actually, we've known about this since it was accidentally leaked back in July:
http://www.fandompost.com/oldforums/showthread.php?33456-FUNimation-licenses-Jinsei-Life-Consulting Why it's taken them so long to actually announce it is anyone's guess.

I believe I tried to watch the first episode of this when it first came out (fan subbed since it didn't have a legit stream at the time, shhh don't tell anyone) but the translation was just too brutally bad to continue with. Maybe I'll give it a second shot since I am a Funi subscriber and all.

Most likely. Normally these companies don't announce deals until they are finalized. They would look pretty silly if they started promoting something only to for the deal to fall through later. |

Yeah makes sense to keep things under wraps until everything is set up properly.

I'm guessing the main reason why FUNi is going to stream the TV version, with the home-media video being released later is due to the Japanese companies and/or FUNi want to bait people into buying the "corrected/final" version by streaming the TV version, which might include animation errors and other, similar things.

Looking up Studio feel., I get the feeling (pun not intended) that they're mostly in-betweeners and finishers and this is one of their first main studio productions. Is that on the mark? In Shirobako terms, are they like Studio Titanic getting a shot at a series? (Not implying that any of their work was bad, just as in-betweeners doing their own series)

Not really. They've been around for a while and they've been doing a lot of projects in recent years. Jinki Extend, Straight Jacket, Corpse Princess all from 2006-2008. Recently they did Mayo Chiki, In Search of Lost Future, Listen to Me I'm your Father, the newest Minami Ke, and the infamous KissxSis. Anyways I know nothing about this series, but the girls look super cute, so I wanna check it out. |

yeah i really loved it, just hoping they don't make a terrible job of the subs like the normally do (seriously their sub team is terrible). anyway i am happy to see it licensed, i honestly didn't expect anyone to bother with it, seems to be one of them genres where either sentai will consider it otherwise it wont get seen in the western market, go FUNi |

Ah, so it isn't a teacher-that-looks-way-younger-than-she-is cliche. I might give this a try. What are everyone's opinions on this?

A different group took over from the first guy, and it took FOREVER for the 13th episode to be subbed. In the end, it (or maybe an ealier episode) ended up with the subbers basically throwing in the towel with something to the effect of "She's babbling on about something, i don't know what, anyway it's not important", YGWYPF and all that but really, that's quite unprofessional. Almost as bad as the stupid gagsubs the group that subbed Girls und Panzer did. Normally I'll take a fansub over a Funimation sub since Funimation doesn't subtitle text or the opening/ending music, but in this case I'll be making my Funimation subscription do something for me for once... |

I enjoyed Jinsei, hope it does well for Funi.
I will say, a little let down by the ending of it all. Damn meganes! |

it's a rare moment when on screen text isn't translated on screen. OP and ED translations usually arrive after a few episodes have aired |
