WIXOSS is the only title im interested in. Though I'm lowering my expectations on the dub (IF IT GETS DUBBED) given I dislike Funimation's female cast pool. Either they sound too forced, really old, similar to eachother, southern even for ADV standards, read the script to much or sound bitchy like Jamie Marchi, Colleen Clinkenbeard or Trini Nishimura.

Though a bad dub won't bewiddle my opinion for what I think is a good show.

*INITIATE SARCASM!* I will just shoot down any praise for the dub Laughing

Assuming these all get dubbed, I'm definitely getting Buddy Complex and WIXOSS. Maybe Daimidaler.

I don't agree, they have personality & life that makes it entertaining unlike Sentai where many of the females just sound bored(which is why I'm so glad Jessica Calvello is back!).

I'm really waiting for the Noragami, Wixoss, and Danganronpa releases. Hopefully all three will be dubbed. And when it comes to Danganronpa hopefully they will reach out and try and get the voices from the game.

One thing I can agree on is that it sure is great that Jessica Calvello is back. She makes me smile in her dubs and twitter posts.

Debating comment down below:

I was not making a comparison to Sentai Filmworks, just ADV. Where in the early dubs, they had ALOT of southern sounding actors. but my comment seemed like an outburst. So I guess this is fair.

If by, "personality." I guess you mean there characters sounding like a snobby/ditzy bitch's. With Sentai, they have a pool that has diverse actors with diverse tones. You can notice that each one is different. Jamie and Colleen can sound horrifically similar. Or Fuyustki's english VA in the evangelion rebuild movies with John Swasey's Gendo. Sure I'm giving small examples. But if Log Horizon had some Funi female actor voicing Maryelle instead of Maggie Flecknoe's uptight yet loose vocal personality, it would have tanked since Maggie fits her characters appearence and design when animated. Though they heavily added that Maryelle loves muscular/big men in the english script. It does not demoralize her character.

They would have done the Heavens Lost Property route where they change the script to make one character a souless bitch instead of a souless ditzy girl.

Though one thing I can agree on is that it sure is great that Jessica Calvello is back. She makes me smile in her dubs and twitter posts.

Meh, I'm only interested in Terror in Resonance. I loved it, even though most people didn't :p

I'd expect it to. The game has been dubbed so fans will expect the anime release to also include one.

On topic of the releases, I was actually looking for Maken Ki Two to purchase a few days ago. I totally thought Funi would have acquired it by now. Guess I'll need to get it in 2015.

Bryce Papenbrook as Makoto Naegi and Erin Fitzgerald as Junko Enoshima and spoiler[Genocide Jack], or I'm not buying.

That said, I'm interested in seeing who Funimation will get for the dubs of those other shows.

Most of Series i have bought or on my to buy list from funimation are either releases in 2012 or earlier, they haven't gotten any new titles i want for the past 2 to 3 years.

i really hope i get something new soon, cause there dubs are good. but most series recently have all been licensed by Sentai or someone else.

I still love it in-spite of its lacklustre ending. So you're not alone.

Maken-Ki! Two and Wixoss are the ones that I'm most interested in. Here's hoping that the casting for Wixoss will be a great one, should it be slated for an English version.
I'm on the fence with Daimidaler, since the artwork of the show looked boring upon its debut. I may watch a few sample clips of it before I decide if it'll be a decent watch.

I might be the only one who's been waiting for a Noragami release! >.< I'm hoping it gets dubbed with a decent cast too.

At least, with the recent release of Attack on Titan, Funi has worked with Papenbrook so it shouldn't be too hard to get him.
