Funimation, excuse my french but, what in the hell are you doing? First you license a generic shojo serires, then you use these stupid "hints" about upcoming series and now license this series.

By the way, what ever became of Love Hina? Months ago I heard on the funimation fourm that Funimation grabbed the license before the license expired.

Also, is there any chance excellent shows such as Case Closed will ever reappear on television?

No freaking kidding. I've been waiting over a year to hear about Ouran and Darker than Black, and this show already has a release date. WTF are you doing Funi?

I think I've got a possible guess (no, I don't have any insider info on this one; I wouldn't write this post if I have any). If those ink spots are actually spoiler[bloodstains]...

Dang, this is more challenging than the anime character guess thread! Maybe FUNi staffs are reading that thread as well? Mr. Green

Haha, too bad. I was almost counting on you to reveal this one as well. I agree, though; I thought the same thing about the ink spots. All the same, I've still got no idea who the silhouette actually is.

Oh, there's a character guess thread up? Yeah, I wouldn't be suprised if Funimation is looking in on that then Razz.

I know Funimation loves to change the names of the series they bring over, but Strategic Armored Infantry doesn't at all describe the series. The mecha aren't really focused on and the combat is a total free for all once things actually break out. There's no real strategy or armor involved most of the time. I mean come on Funi you can come up with a better American name for the series then that.

that hair makes me think it's Hero Tales, but this is just an observation.

I just love to see people bitch and moan when the show they want doesn't get the attention they think it deserves. They will be released when they wil be released, stop whining. It's not like you haven't seen it alredy.

As for the picture, I'm guessing Ayakashi?

The "F" stands for Fudce, and I don't appreciate people linking to images I post on one forum, on a different forum, without permission.
