The Shock! Dirty Pair (TV) Got Licensed! So, I’m just getting myself together and planning to watch a few Dirty Pair TV episodes for blogging purposes when I notice that O-chan has dropped a comment telling me that Dirty Pair has been licensed. Since O-chan is a classic anime fan like myself, I knew the

"Negima!" Manga For Sale Again at Sasuga Bookstore!


Hey everyone. As you guys know, I’m a big fan of Akamatsu-sensei’s shounen manga Negima! Not only do I purchase the official English adaptations from Del Rey, but I also pick up the original Japanese tankoubons when I have a bit of extra money. To date, I’ve always purchased these from Sasuga Japanese Bookstore (I

FUNimation’s 2010 Roll-out Riot: Day 5 — Two More New Anime Titles


FUNimation’s 2010 Roll-out Riot: Day 5 — Two More New Anime Titles FUNimation ends its Roll-out Riot week by licensing two titles I’d actually heard of — Axis Powers Hetalia and The Sacred Blacksmith (aka: Seiken no Blacksmith).

FUNimation’s 2010 Roll-out Riot: Day 3 — A License Rescue With day three, FUNimation returns to anime and a license rescue, this time of the six-episode wacky OVA series FLCL, aka: Fooly Cooly. I remember watching this back when it appeared on Cartoon Network (one of the last dubs I’d watch). This was one insane

FUNimation’s 2010 Roll-out Riot: Day 2 — Still No Anime


In their second day of the 2010 Roll-out Riot, FUNimation announced two more live-action movies, bringing a total of seventeen new licenses to FUNimation’s library and neither of them anime. The first is Kamui (aka: Kamui Gaiden) and the second is RoboGeisha. Kamui Gaiden looks kind of interesting to me, so I might check that

FUNimation’s 2010 Roll-out Riot: Day 1 — Some Fans Are Rioting


FUNimation’s 2010 Roll-out Riot: Day 1 FUNimation starts the new year by announcing they have “acquired 15 films from the Kung Fu Masters the Shaw Brothers.” Not really my thing since I’m not into kung fu stuff nor Chinese stuff (just a matter of personal tastes is all). However, I did notice the reaction of

FUNimation Announcements at New York Anime Festival


At the New York Anime Festival FUNimation Industry Panel, FUNimation announced that they have licensed X and X OVA. This is another Geneon license rescue and will use the original dub. Thanks to Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-, I do have some mild interest in seeing the anime adaptation of CLAMP’s X, but I don’t think I
