Well this looks like something that will interest me. Seems like these three titles cover a pretty wide range. Little something for everyone I guess.
On another note, I am guessing that Geneon symbol in the top right hand corner is for Geneon Japan. |

It's hard to get excited when they have been sitting on Ouran and Darker Than Black for almost a year now without a solicitation =/

While I'm interested in some of these licences I'm with calawain in rathering release dates for the stuff they've already got first
though they may be saving the dates for something bigger maybe.. |

While it's nice to see some new titles, I'd like it if they gave us some sort of update on their negotiations to acquire some of Geneon's. Higurashi and Law of Ueki, please.

Have you even seen Shigurui to consider it "not good"? Anyway, based on the shows you listed, you obviously have completely different tastes and shouldn't really have a say. Those series have way higher of a chance to get licensed than something like this. |

I'm sorry. I guess I'm of coming off as an a-hole. I'm just upset that all the shows I want to buy are not getting licensed. ><

You beat me to it. I'm glad that they are announcing these series. And it is in a rather clever way. But when the hell are they going to announce the release dates for Ouran? |

I'm with Jaice on this. This show would have been better if it'd actually gone somewhere. The setup during the initial episode was amazing, but it just...stopped after 12 eps. The animation is beautiful, the character designs are great, the music is totally fitting, the katana-slingin' techniques are super dope...but it just didn't work for me.

Well, it's official
They are just announcing the acquisition. I'm sure Funi plans to announce release dates for Ouran and Darker etc. at the big cons. If not, someone here should ask them at their industry panel. It's been my experience that they are at least a little more forthcoming than say, ADV with their "can neither confirm nor deny" line. |

That is because the series didn't end. There's way more to the manga and there is still a chance it could have a second series to follow up on. I watched it and loved how dour and gory the whole thing was. Everything is insanely violent and you can't find a more dour picture of the samurai age even if you tried. Actually, some scenes are so grotesque and violent that it's hard to forget them. Sorta gives me the shiver. DEFINITELY not for the kiddies, this one. |

As the trailer indicates on FUNi's Shigurui website, there is a lot more hyper-violence here than TEX. There's also an abundance of sexual content. I can't really reveal anything specific as it pertains to significant spoilers, but if a person if very squeamish that I'd recommend considering before picking up the series. I love it, but it's not for everyone.
Was wondering if you might pop in here. If there's anything that can get you to posting on these forums, it's something helmed by Oshii, Kon or Hamazaki.
For that matter, the anime adaption covers the first six volumes of the manga (of which ten volumes are currently available). Depending on its domestic and international (i.e. North American) success, Shigurui may yet see a second season. It may not have "proper closure," but I can't think of any final episode as mind-numbingly awesome and climatic in recent history -- that fight in episode 12 is absolutely killer. |
