I'll say the same thing I've always said when it comes to this particular series:
It's Ikki Tousen. Who gives a shit?

That is a rather mean spirited post. Since you obviously are not part of the intended audience I wonder why you cared enough to be obnoxious about it. Apparently Funimation thinks there are enough potential customers to warrant issuing it, if not enough to make a limited edition.

I've never understood how this monstrosity got so many sequels, but it does have its fan base.

Why FUNANIMATION doesn´t release Dragon Destiny? That was pretty epic, Great Guardians doesn´t even deserve a Limited Box, it was a very generic and flat plot, it abused Dragons Destiny success to promote more fanservice instead of awesome battles.

@Alan45: That's what I hate about the internet these days. Nobody seems to be able to understand a comment that was obviously made IN JEST. If I had truly meant to be obnoxious or offensive about it, would I really have put the "lol tongue-sticking-out" smiley after it like I did?
To answer your question, I've watched both the original series AND Dragon Destiny. Did I enjoy them? Sure. Do I think they're quote/unquote "good"? Hell no. They're garbage. They're definitely entertaining garbage, yet garbage nonetheless.
So does the fact that FUNimation has decided not to waste a chipboard box on this particular series bother me? By no means. Hence, why I posted, "Who gives a shit?"
@Hao-sama: Two things:
1.) It's "FUNimation". Not "FUNANIMATION".
2.) I'm sure FUNi would've loved to have licensed Dragon Destiny, if Media Blasters hadn't beaten them to the punch.

Unless the LE was going to have something else other than a nice box, I don't see a problem with this.

Well, all I can say is if this is some dastardly plot on Funi's part to make me not buy GG...
...it will fail.
I liked the original Ikki Tousen a lot, was "meh" on DD and I hear GG is even worse than DD, so I'm certainly not expecting much. But, I am a completist, so...

Ikki Tousen is better than any of that nonsense we got from Oh Great, I dont know how anyone can say anything positive about Tenjo Tenge. Is it(IT) anything special no, gender swapped legendary hero shows are a dime a dozen, but is it good fun, yea sure.

@SpacemanHardy
Whatever, sarcasm doesn't work well in text and I think you expect too much of a smiley. Without your explanation, it would remain a rather pointless one-liner. You should be used to people not understanding you by now.
I'm with Blood- on this, I rather enjoyed the first series. I have, but have not watched the second and I will undoubtedly pick this up. I suspect they kept making the anime just to support the line of figures associated with this series. I think they are in competition with Evangelion to see who can make the most figures of characters from the show.

funimation has lost it! the web site new look same servers and issues and past issues followed over to the new site.
Also Funimation release schedule is anemic at best, One has to wonder at the health of the company.
I own many a Funimation box set, I would miss the company if it were ever to fail like Bandai-Entertainment did.
One also has to question Funimation never picking up the second season of Index while jumping all over Railgun second season and it being a spin off of Index.

the new site is not fully operational yet. it's still on the "first look" phase and primarily being used to identity site issues before the official launch

At least they are not canceling the release for those who want it. This series GG doesn't deserve a limited edition and who cares if it doesn't have a chipboard box it's still a turd.
I'm one of those rare few that loved Ikki Tousen it wasn't the greatest series out their and it never pretended to be and, it for me it was entertaining. But the problem is after the second season which was based off the source material from the manga is this season 3 and the next season 4 were all original content and continuing story filler. So you could tell why something seemed off and this fanservice'e show got even more retarded.
All I can remember from watching GG as it aired was I want the time I spent watching it back, they owe it to me for making such a bad show. Then season 4 I made it through 2-3 episodes before realizing that it's season 3 filler all over again.
So people take it from someone who likes this franchise skip this one and buy only seasons 1 and 2 and call it a day.
