I had heard that Funimation that some special up their sleeves for this special announcement week, but damn I wasn't expecting this. In fact I hadn't really even heard of this series, but it looks interesting to say the least.

I saw some of Sousei no Aquarion at ColossalCon last year, and I thought it was a pretty good show from what I saw. I was under the impression that Bandai would eventually acquire the R1 license for this series, but this does come as a surprise. I'm definitely picking this series up come this fall.
Great acquisition, FUNi! 
No schedule as of yet, but Anime on DVD reported that a Fall 2007 release is planned. |

According to the Aquarion site we have a tentative time slot for release, as opposed to the news article.

hmmm this largely looks like Eva--just from the synopsis-- i suppose Funimation isnt looking for aces so much as having more tricks up it sleeve.
the sap has spoken. |

Yeah, I'm wondering how well that'll translate... 
I got about halfway through this series, then lost interest. Might have to start watching it again. |

Sweet, I liked this show and didn't even expect it to be licensed. But hey, it's all good.

I can't say I'm too excited about this announcement, as most of what I know about Aquarion comes from here:

I'm pretty dissapointed myself. Funimation aquired this anime over so many deserving ones...*hintOURANHIGHSCHOOLHOSTCLUBhint*? Not too exciting, especially since Sousei no Aquarion is average at best.

It's not a series I have any interest in, but at least it wasn't from the C&D letter. From what little I've heard of it, I think I'll pass on this series.
I'm still holding out for a license I care about this week, but I'm not expecting it. |

Wow, abunai's comments are both scaring and enticing me to continue on with this series. Maybe I should rent just to be on the safe side. 
Well, there's still two days left of this Kickoff week, and I heard that they might be saving the "big" announcement for Friday so keep your hopes up.

I loled. The entire thing goes back and fourth from a serious drama to an over-the-top parody of the super robot genre itself (MUGEN PUNCH anyone?). This guy doesn't seem to have gotten that. |
