Peach Girl is very medicore!

This news is neither good nor bad.

I've never liked Funimation's taste in anime.

This is an interesting lisence to pick up for FUNi.

I've already watched it subbed a little over a month ago, and it was pretty decent. Although for me, the first few episodes were hard to watch, since I couldn't stand Sae's b****iness.

Hmmm, I notice FUNi is starting to get some of Marvelous Entertainment's titles to license. I mean they already got two of them which are Gunslinger Girl and School Rumble, and Peach Girl is another one of them. I'm getting a strange feeling they're going for Suzuka next which is another title from them.

Of course, this is just a pattern I noticed; I could be horrifically wrong. Laughing

If they were to license Suzuka and Bokura ga Ita, Funimation would be the god of anime companies in my eyes.

But it does make you wonder...

The titles that are shoujo/josei that people are yelling for aren't announced yet..

Ouran High School Host Club
Honey and Clover


Maybe Peach Girl was relatively inexpensive compared to the above.

Ehhhhhh!? Shocked I never even realized Peach Girl was made into an anime, but that's great news. There definitely isn't enough shojo anime in the US, and Funimation is awesome. Much love!

Suzuka isn't that good of as series. Quite mediocre, Suzuka herself pissed me off but I did like the music.

I would expect Ouran to become part of Viz's Shojo Beat Video lineup at some point down the road.

Most of the series in Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat are probably going to shake out that way. Yes, I know there are exceptions (like Black Cat) but it's more likely Viz will be releasing that one.
