I'm happy that they got this. This show is dumb ecchi fun in all the right ways and it NEVER takes itself seriously for more than 3 minutes an episode.

I think the disconnect between internet reviews and what people actually shell out money for may be responsible for the confusion.

Not surprised Funimation has been getting more ecchi and comedy titles lately. Sadly none of the stuff they have been picking up is something I'm interest in.

3W (We without Wings) may not be the greatest show ever made, but I am getting some kicks out of watching it.

EDIT:

Removed the part about physical or streaming.

Most likely physcial media. The series is already being streamed on crunchyroll, there would be little point in Funimation spending money to license it and just stream it themselves.

I wish Funimation would pick up some worthy titles that are good and worth our hard earned money..the only thing I'll be buying from them in the next year will be remaining sets of Kai and the upcoming Fullmetal Alchemist Movie after that their won't be anything that is of any interest to me.

FUNI continues to pick up garbage while we wait for the great titles announced a year ago to begin production...

Press Release wrote:


FUNimation® Entertainment announced today that it has acquired rights to distribute the anime series “We Without Wings – Under the Innocent Sky.” These rights include home entertainment, broadcast, digital and merchandise. This romantic comedy, from director Shinji Ushiro (“Blessing of the Campanella”), revolves around a group of young people whose seemingly unconnected lives may be linked in an alternate world.
FUNimation will release the series on DVD and Blu-ray in 2012. The official FUNimation stream of the series will be available beginning at 12:00pm CDT on June 24th, 2011 via www.funimation.com/video or directly at http://beta.funimation.com/we-without-wings.

Not sure why ANN skipped over the details but yes, it's getting a physical release.

Ok Funimation needs to get into the clue bus seriously, so they licensed Panty and Stocking, My Bride is a Mermaid, Rosario Vampire (1 and 2), and now this?

I like Funimation but they are going in wrong direction with their anime, they forgot the good names in anime like Basquash!, Minami-ke, Mitsudomoe, Paranoi Agent, Angel Beats, Canaan, Highschool of the dead, etc... all I can say is THANK YOU SENTAI FILMWORKS YOU ARE MY HEROES!!!

I like the idea that High School of the Dead and Mitsudomoe are top shelf titles compared to Panty & Stocking.

Oh yeah, those titles are like 10'000 + billion times better and funnier than Panty and Stocking, in fact We Without Wings is actually better than PandS, at least those guys don't fight feces, vomit or booger monsters.
