December 29th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy FUNimation Licenses Something Special for AstroNerdBoy — Slayers Revolution 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. Yeah, I know, FUNimation’s license rescue

For FUNimation’s Next Trick — “Gankutsuou: the Count of Monte Cristo”
December 28th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy For FUNimation’s Next Trick — “Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo” 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.

FUNimation says, “Get more Gonzo! This time, make it ‘Last Exile!’”
December 26th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy FUNimation says, “Get more Gonzo! This time, make it ‘Last Exile!’” 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

For Christmas, FUNimation Announces “Nabari no Ou”
December 25th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy For Christmas, FUNimation Announces “Nabari no Ou” For all the people hungry for a non-license rescue, here’s the first new license from FUNimation — Nabari no Ou. Frankly, I’m amazed that they are using this Japanese name for the R1 release rather than rename it to say something like “Ruler of Nabari” or “King of

On Day 3, FUNimation says, “I’ll take ‘Vandread’ and ‘Vandread Second Stage’ please.”
December 24th, 2008 AstroNerdBoy On Day 3, FUNimation says, “I’ll take ‘Vandread’ and ‘Vandread Second Stage’ please.” So, FUNimation pulls another two titles out of the Geneon stable — Vandread and Vandread Second Stage. I already own the Geneon singles for this, so barring a new subtitle treatment to FUNimation standards, there’s no reason for me to buy this.

FUNimation Scores “Gad Guard” on Day 2
December 23rd, 2008 AstroNerdBoy FUNimation Scores “Gad Guard” on Day 2 FUNimation continues to grab Geneon titles by scoring Gad Guard. Gad Guard? Never heard of it and what little I’ve seen from the imagery, it isn’t grabbing me either. Geneon had completely released the series so it has been dubbed and subbed. The only interesting thing about this

FUNimation Has “Ikki Tousen”
December 22nd, 2008 AstroNerdBoy FUNimation Has “Ikki Tousen” As announced by FUNimation, they now officially have the very ecchi high school fighting anime Ikki Tousen (FUNimation’s official Ikki Tousen site). Geneon previously had the title and while FUNimation has distributed stuff for Geneon before, that’s not the case here. Instead, FUNimation has the Geneon portion of the license, meaning
