You can add Railgun to that list as well. And Japan in general seems to be making more one-cour shows than they used to, so that little detail isn't too surprising to me.
EDIT: It might be added that nearly all of the break-away hits in Japan recently thus far have been one-cour: Bakemonogatari, K-ON! (though the sequel is two-cour), Madoka Magica, Oreimo, Angel Beats, Infinite Stratos, AnoHana, etc. Granted there are some very high-selling two-cour shows as well like Tiger and Bunny, but I think an overall shift to a shorter series length wouldn't surprise me at all. |

As far as I know, FUNimation still only has streaming rights to The Legend of Legendary Heroes. Nothing more (at least publicly) has been said since the initial PR (of which doesn't seem to in ANN's archives).

I need my Index and Railgun fix. Funimation needs to finally give some info on their releases.

Funimation was a LOT of things they still have yet to announce from that mega announcement they made last summer. At least 21 titles at my count if you include the streaming series that haven't had physical disc releases. Plus they also have a few others they announced last year and this year that we haven't heard from yet. I think they bit off a bit more than they could chew. |

There are quite a few of those that had to do something with that Geneon/Universal Japan merger, so that could be part of the delay.
Though I am not really sure what the hold-up on Strike Witches 2 is, since IIRC Spice & Wolf 2 was announced either at the same time or even after that, and that is coming in September. While we still don't have any info on Strike Witches 2. I know I kind of do this often, but I really enjoyed Strike Witches, and really want to buy it. However I don't want to do so if season 2 is not coming soon. |

It's pretty much not any time soon. From Otakon:
I would imagine mid/late 2012 at the earliest. Considering how things are progressing, it would not surprise me if some of the Geneon stuff gets released in 2013 instead. |

It's suppose to be released before this year is over. I guess it's a wait and see until official Nov or Dec solicitations surface. One possible guess for the delay is BD materials for the series. |
