FUNimation to Distribute Gungrave and Explains Why So Many License Rescues.



FUNimation Licenses Something Special for AstroNerdBoy — Slayers Revolution


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

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”


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
