I am damn glad my fear over FUNi losing Darker than Black and Baccano! made me pull the trigger and drop $105 on the complete collections of FMA 03, Brotherhood, and the Brotherhood OVAs on Amazon. I already had Shamballa and Milos, so now I have it all.
I feel bad for future generations of anime fans though, as they will now have to put up with Aniplex's bullcrap prices(y'all know damn well this is gonna be one of those few shows they re-release after gaining the license back). The era of affordable FMA is over. 
Consequently, this trend is making me drop a part of my tax return on the Aniplex titles that I really want that are still selling for cheap before Aniplex gets them back and jacks up the price like Angel Beats! and Soul Eater. |

Well, enjoy paying $700 for Aniplex's release with the handful of postcards and chipboard box. They're the worst anime licensor in America and their customers are to blame.
I'm glad I already have all of FMA 2003 and FMA Brotherhood. And CoS. Last edited by penguintruth on Tue Feb 02, 2016 12:10 am; edited 1 time in total |

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Alright, guys, I will pick up the BD collection ASAP!! ( I was waiting for the year-end sale, or you know, Funimation's hit-or-miss preminum release for brotherhood) Well, it is time to bow down to our latest local anime superpower, aniplex! |

Can't say I'm too upset about Funi losing all these big titles, since Aniplex tends to be more generous with our region when it comes to streaming. Hopefully DtB, Baccano and FMA will finally be available to us in Crunchyroll and/or Netflix now that Funi can't use their bullshit "i have the license for your area but your area is not allowed to watch our videos". It's not like Funi's sets were particularly affordable for me anyway -not even sure if they would've been compatible for my DVD player-, so no big loss there.

Welp, time to rebuy all of Brotherhood on Blu-ray along with CoS. My favorite anime of all time is going away. Dang it Aniplex! I can't even afford your shows!

Darker than Black, Baccano!, Brotherhood... it's like reading the climaxes of Harry Potter books 4 through 6.
Any guesses on what's next? What's the most popular Aniplex-adjacent anime Funimation has left? |

If Hulu's expiration dates are to be believed (and so far they've all been accurate), the next to go will be FMA '03 in July and Birdy the Mighty: Decode in October. WTK compiled a full list of Hulu expiration dates over at The Fandom Post, which I also posted on the FUNimation forums as well.

For leftovers from what I'm digging up, next popular titles in line would be Black Butler, Shiki and Soul Eater. |
