FUNimation Licensing Blitz Coming

[DemonLordShugo]

All i want from FUNi is New Dr.Slump, New Dr. Slump ,All I want From FUNi is New Dr.Slump and Ill be a Happy Panda!

(see how Despite i am....Caroling about anime...Come on FUNi...Throw me a Bone!)

Uh, considering how old it Dr. Slump is I highly doubt it'll get licensed

I was Reffering to the 96 series..and It's not to old to liscense If funi can liscense Dragonball, Yuyuhakusho & Shin-Chan theres no reason they can't Liscense New Dr.Slump. I mean Its Toryama's Best work Besides DBZ...The manga is hillarious and I could see it Being Decently Succesful on CN or Nicktoons.

I don't see why not. It's a Toriyama work, and the manga is available, so why wouldn't the show? Plus, Gatchaman is a decade older, and it the same treatment a series from this would get.A full retranslation, a new dub, even custom DVD case art from Alex Ross.

Note: I realize Gatchaman was done by ADV, not FUNi.

EDIT: I'm for the '96 version, but I wouldn't mind seeing the original '81 series as well.

I guess you have a point

we already got C & D for Re:Cutie Honey, now jsut toss it to us, Funi, in one nice release(possibly including the OST)

This would make me happy.

Or maybe all of Cutey Honey with the exception of the OVA (licensed by ADV)!!

 

[Dark Fact]

-Black Butler
-Michiko to Hatchin

Yeah, especially Spice and Wolf and Black Butler (I changed it to Black Butler so I won't get censored)

 

[DBZNarutoWarrior]

5 CM per second? I hope they get this since there are only a weeks worth of R1 copies on the market from ADV.

 

[Ishtar]

Just want to throw this out. Maybe FUNi is interested in acquiring Zombie Loan?

 

[WolfieKiwi]

Classical music is public domain.

Thanks! (You learn something new everyday. )

YES. You'd think that out of ten new licenses, ONE of those would be Re: Cutie Honey. Pretty please, FUNi?

Dear lord, yes. That would be great.

Also, Trigun really should get back into circulation. Haibane Renmei, too.

 

[DemonLordShugo]

Yes, and also Battle Athletes and SoulTaker (so I can finally see Nurse Witch Komugi !!)

 

[Baby Naruto]

I want FUNimation to license/re-release and english dub Soul Eater, Reborn, Gin Tama, Shakugan no Shana II(2), Digimon Seasons 1-4, The Law of Ueki, Shaman King, Dr. SLump (both Series), Dragon Ball (Z) Yo! son Goku and Friends! Special/OVA (The 40th anniversary 2008 Jump Festa one), Ultimate Muscle (both series), Viewtiful Joe, Marchen Awakens Romance, and Zatch Bell!.

By the way, WTF is Blitz?

 

[purplehairedwonder]

By the way, WTF is Blitz?

It's German for lightning, implying something is very fast and powerful.

Also, I support the 5 Centimeters Per Second idea as well.

Oh, like the Blitz Gun in Ratchet & Clank (I forget which game or games it is in).

Gotcha .

 

[TnAdct1]

Since no one on this board has mentioned it: on Funimation's web page, the company has hidden various "post cards" throughout the site that will provide hints to the new shows that will be announced.

So far, I saw six of the post cards, with one title definitely on my "guess" list, and another one as a possibility.

 

[SSJ Jake]

If old anime counts, HOKUTO NO KEN PLZ. Seriously, it's been dubbed more than once in America and has yet to get the dub it deserves.

But otherwise, yes, bring Reborn over as well.

 

[zoid9000]

Well let's break down the clues here:

(spoiler tagged for those who might want to keep the licenses a surprise)

Spoiler

• "Uncle Randy,
  Can't wait to see your new van! In fact, we should plan a road trip. It would take my mind off of the feelings of dread I'm feeling about next semester! LET'S DO IT!
  Peace, Greg"

Vandread

• "Bobby,
  Thought you'd like to know that your grandpa and I went to eat at Smith's Pie shop last night. Bless your soul, you always got so excited about their pies during summer visits!
  Come see us soon, sweetie! All of my love, Granny"

Soul Eater

• "Bob,
  Hope that poison ivy cleared up. Hate to think you're walking around with itchy toes!
  See ya soon, Maggie"

Ikkitousen

• "Hey Katie!
  You'll never guess who was at the party last night. Your EX! I'll tell you more about it in person. He was asking about you! Ha!
  Beth"

Last Exile

• "Hey Talia!
  You coming on New Year's Eve? Angie, Eli and you can make it!
  Kisses, Ben"

Evangelion

• "Dear Helen,
  Wow. I wasn't counting on Monte Carlo being this much fun! Oh, and Christy says hi! We wish you were here! Best vacation ever!
  Dave"

Gankutsuou: the Count of Monte Cristo




Those are pretty obvious, not sure about the rest:

• "Dear Mom,
  I thought of the perfect gift for dad! It's a little gadget called the veggie guardian. It transmits a high frequency signal that's supposed to keep bugs off the plants. Look it up online.
  - Love you! Roger"

Guesses I've heard so far:

Moyashimon
Wagaya no Oinarisama
Mushi-uta

• "Hey Ed,
  You totally have to remind me to tell you about this dream I had last night. VERY random.Here's the preview: You, me, a rocket and ship, three monkeys. OH! And you were in a diaper!
  XOXO, Kelly"

Only guess I've seen for this one is:

Dokkoida?!
