Aside from C - Control and Baka and Test 2 there is nothing else of interest for me, how disappointing...oh well.

My problem isn't with fanservice junk, but them never licensing the fanservice junk I like (ie, Qwaser, Astarotte's Toy, etc).

Basically C and Deadman Wonderland are guarentee gets for me. But it is really sad that this was all they announced and that all the shows I am ginuinely interested in are from NIS America who affirmed that their shows are bottom-of-the-barrel, the ones others aren't looking to license. And I am so sick of Aniplex USA, wish they would fallow Bandai Visual.

Deadman Wonderland and Stens Gate are the only things that I'm interested in. I'm behind watching them on Crunchyroll, and I have to write my review for Eden of the East.

I'll admit, I figured that B Gata H Kei would be licensed someday but I did not think it would happen this soon.
But it stands to reason, that if a show such as B Gata is eventually licensed, then other "interesting" shows might also have a chance.
By no means am I fan of B Gata (as comical as Zac's review of it was years ago, it's just not a genre I can honestly say I truly enjoy.) but it's great to see Funimation license this many shows at one time.

Agreed, and I thought I'd like Aniplex until they started following BV's imports as R1's model.
Nice picks from Funi though awesome BDs for Deadman, Steins;Gate and C, ashame Blue Exorcist couldn't join that.

This news disappoints me a little just because I was thinking 'Oh wow! Madman licensing something NOT from Funimation' when Madman made their Supanova announcement. Not that I'm disappointed that Steins;Gate is coming over to the NA! Just felt like the little respect I gained for Madman disappeared... Guess I just hold Siren on too high a pedestal.

I have to admit, I like these licenses. However, I was secretly hoping against hope that Sailor Moon would be rescued....but alas. But still Funimation, there is but one thing left to do.
Bring it on!

My thoughts exactly. Very happy about DW getting picked up. It is such a great series and is a definite buy for me. I am also considering Steins;Gate.

B Gata H Kei being licensed gives me hope Qwaser will maybe someday.
I wonder if a company is waiting for all the Oreimo OVAs to come out before they announce it.
I wish someone would grab Sket Dance as well.

Somehow that reminds me of a movie in the past where the girl did sleep with a hundred guys --in a row!-- (no, it wasn't a pr0n movie ) but she was pretty worn by the end. I don't remember the title.

Asobi ni Ikuyo! was one I kinda figured would get licensed soon. Although I think that the english translated title("We've Come to Play") sounds better than "Cat Planet Cuties". |
But it probably wouldn't get as many looks.

They already grabbed Otoshimono and Rosario which I see nothing of in dub, why more fanservice junk?

Ecchi is a safe license. Its cheap, and guaranteed sales. |
Anime fans can be so shallow as Hollywood summer flicks.

You're even too far right-wing for Texas-based Funi!

I'm happy about Steins;Gate, Deadman and the new Last Exile.
Haven't seen any of Baka and Test but will give it a look now that part 2 is on board...
Hopefully Gosick or AnoHana will be announced at Otakon
In the meantime, please PLEASE cast Carrie Savage in Steins;Gate as Feris Nyan-Nyan

Not really. I mean, if you don't like gun-toting loli's I can respect that, but I happen to like them alot. |
I like gun-toting girls in-general, it's just that Rie Kugumiya has made me completely and utterly sick of feisty lolli characters in general! Can you really blame me for that???

Funimation's license does not invalidate Crunchyroll's existing license. I can cite several series that Funimation obtained full rights to while they were still being simulcast on Crunchyroll, and all completed their simulcast run. In fact, most are still on Crunchyroll.

So, after registering for a debit card... All this happens? Damn, people must really want my money! Or... I must be the one affecting the licensing of many anime.
