AstroNerdBoy FUNimation to Distribute Gungrave and Explains Why So Many License Rescues.
December 30th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy With FUNimation haven taken several titles completely away from Geneon, Geneon proves they are not totally out of the game as FUNimation only has a distribution license for Geneon’s Gungrave title. From a personal perspective, it is a little disappointing that FUNimation didn’t get the license free and clear as they did with the Geneon
Oh, and FUNimation has Slayers Evolution-R Too
December 29th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy Oh, and FUNimation has Slayers Evolution-R Too FUNimation sent me a heads-up (along with ANN and possibly other places) that they have Slayers Evolution-R as well as Slayers Revolution. Right now, there’s no word on how this will be released or even if FUNimation will use the “Slayers Evolution-R” name. Personally, I hope they do

December 29th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy Heh!heh!heh! OK, so FUNimation didn’t actually license this title for me, but I have to say that the licensing of Slayers Revolution has me very excited to say the least and was on my short wish list along with Kannagi.

December 28th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy Another of the predicted titles has come true as FUNimation has announced the license for Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo. I never read the original Alexandre Dumas novel in French or English and I never watched this anime adaptation of the classic novel. It looks weird to me and that alone doesn’t cause it
FUNimation’s Next License Is New, Y’all — “Oh Edo Rocket”
December 27th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy FUNimation’s Next License Is New, Y’all — “Oh Edo Rocket” Well, those who’ve not been happy with FUNimation’s license rescued are now getting an all-new license announcement — Oh! Edo Rocket. This is a title that I’d not hear of until the guessing started. I took a look-see and on the surface, it isn’t gripping
“Love Hina” Receiving New Subtitles From FUNimation?
December 26th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy “Love Hina” Receiving New Subtitles From FUNimation? On FUNimation’s forums (now defunct, as are all of the links to the old FUNimation forums–links left in for archival purposes only), Lucky Seven brought it to my attention that there’s a new trailer for Love Hina’s forthcoming release. At the end of said trailer, it mentions that
FUNimation says, "Get more Gonzo! This time, make it ‘Last Exile!’"
December 26th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy Another license rescue as FUNimation does appear to be VERY keen on acquiring every GONZO title ever made. That said, Last Exile is a pretty good anime title with the beautiful art and animation one would expect from a GONZO title and a pretty interesting story to boot (though some unresolved questions, which seems typical
