If your into Fantasy, Mecha, Isekais, and have a Funimation acount, do yourself a favor and watch Rayearth when it comes on Thursday.

Wait, those are all Discotek titles. Discotek didn't lose the rights to them, did they? Or are FUNimation just adding the shows to their sites for additional streaming?

It's definitely either Discotek or the JP rights-holder making their titles available on more streaming platforms. Funi has been partnering with other small distributors lately, like Nozomi/RightStuf, so it makes sense.

Just droppin this post to say do NOT watch Bokurano, they butchered the hell out of it and ruined it.
The manga is great and you should go read that but don't watch the anime.

The director even outright said that he hated the manga and changed the plot for that reason which I find both funny and sad. Like come on, you would think they'd find a director who's at least neutral on the source material rather than disliking it.

That’s actually all Funimation licensing streaming rights from TMS and Gonzo here. Discotek still has home video rights to all of these.
Correction: The Pilot’s Love Song... Discotek doesn’t have. I don’t know if NIS America still have the home video license, but this is still a TMS license after all.

Magic Knight Rayearth is one of my top favorite magical girl classics and I highly recommend watching it especially if you're a fan of Escaflowne's mix of fantasy and mecha.

Still waiting for Funimation to get the license (including the English dub) for the Fairy Tail OVAs renewed. Hope they are not going through any licensing issues at this time. It has been ten years since the first OVA came out, so there will be a chance for Funimation to obtain the license. I have been waiting for the English-dubbed OVAs for a long time.

It’s actually TMS/Gonzo adding it themselves.
