Hooray! I'm definitely going to pick up Date A Live and Red Data Girl. It's a shame Red Data Girl is DVD only but as long as I get to own it, I'm a happy camper.

Always nice to see more stuff getting a physical release, be it DVD, Blu-ray or both.

Wow, remember the days when Funi didn't have to specifically announce that it was dubbing a home release? It was simply understood.

Red Data Girl is visually the best anime on this set, yet it's the one that's DVD only? Logic much? Wtf. Seriously, if only ONE of these should get Bluray, it's Red Data Girl.
I didn't know anyone actually liked Karneval or Code:Breaker lol. I cant comment on those since I couldnt get past episode 3 on Karnveal and episode 1 on Code:Breakr
Dubs for Red Data Girl shouldnt be too hard to do, pretty simple voice work on that one. Date A Live is gonna be horrible dubbed, given Funimation's history with this type of show. I expect a ton of overacting, mispronounced character names, and a pinch of stiff acting as well.

Well, time to start saving up some money for Karneval since it's the only thing I actually care about on that list.
The anime wasn't that great, but not bad either. I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see how the dub turns out.

I would have likely purchased RDG, but if it's not on BD (sigh…Kadokawa), I'm not interested, as it would feel like I have an "inferior" product when there is a better-looking version out there, not to mention that I don't want to purchase the DVDs and then, in the future, FUNimation releases a BD(/DVD) set. As for a RDG dub, I thought that, from the first episode, it would be a fool-proof dub to do without monkeying around with it or having questionable casting, but I can't really put it past them…

As I've seen all of these, allow me to comment on the series:
1. Date A Live: Comedy, harem, very light on fanservice. Has actual decent characters. Main lead is NOT a spineless little wuss. Good watch.
2. Red Data Girl: Is Mystery, shoujo-ish romance. Is GORGEOUS to look at. Characters are likable, and actually develop. Story seems good, but stop right when it was beginning. Zero closure, zero shot at a second season. Of all the series to not get a bluray, you pick the one with the most gorgeous backgrounds I've seen in years? Well, FU 2!
3. Karneval: This is for the ladies. The kind of screwed up the manga adaptation though. Almost zero character development, and the 3 ladies that have seen this are in agreement: KILL SHIRO!! I agree, he's annoying and completely useless.
4. Code:Breaker: The story shits itself. To be fair, the manga story did the same. It was awesome for the first few episode: super-powered badasses going around killing people who were above the law. It then degenerated into shounen fighting anime number 65.453. Interesting powers in concept, but as always, YOU CANNOT BLOCK LIGHTNING WITH FIRE!!!!!

Date A Live is from Kadokawa too, so I suspect it may be getting a DVD-only release initially as well.

Even now, I assume FUNi IS dubbing all their anime, unless they say otherwise. OniAi is still their only sub-only release...

i have to agree, RDG shouldn't be a issue but DAL will be horrible dub. Though i will be happy sticking to subs, assuming it ever gets released (Funi seem to enjoy holding titles back after announcing release dates like it's a hobby or something).
