Well, FUNimation appears to be going back into the license-rescue business, having previously done so for Slayers, Love Hina, and One Piece.

Androids and Sex
January 3rd, 2008 
AstroNerdBoy Androids and Sex The Houston Chronicle has discovered that by 2050, we’ll have androids that will seem very lifelike and for which one can have sexual relations with. Really?

Thank You Robert Rainey
January 3rd, 2008 AstroNerdBoy While the roots of my enjoyment of anime and manga can trace its roots back to my childhood watching my dad create the Sunday comics for the local newspaper, I’d never heard of the term “anime” until I went to Japan.

He authored two well-known
