didn't think they had the money to license BOTH Eva 1.0 and Soul Eater... It was all too good to be true. The question now is what is the last one?

Wow...so Tomorrow's the last one...which will it be? SE? Eva? Although I don't have feelings on either one, it's still gonna be something that I won't miss.

Also...is Gungrave any good? I've heard of it but never seen it I'm afraid...

I have to say this is one license rescue that completely threw me off! Shocked

So which greeting card was Gungrave hinted at?

Gungrave had picked up by FUNimation after Geneon's title had expired. But hopefully will releasing the DVD soon.

I avoided Gungrave the anime because I heard the games it's based on are, to put it bluntly, shit. This is disappointing...unless tomorrow we DO get Evangelion for sure, this whole thing was nearly a waste of time with one or two worthy exceptions.

Gungrave is fine and all, but it's still nothing new.

So, if this card wasn't referencing Soul Eater, than what was it?

Meh...

I've never played the games, but you're doing yourself a disservice by not watching Gungrave.

Looks like another box set on my shopping list, if I don't find back stock of vols. 4-7 first, or Geneon's box set (Then again, I'm not the type to pay their obscene prices for any box set; THANK YOU FUNIMATION FOR GIVING US ANIME BOX SETS THAT ARE ACTUALLY AFFORDABLE!).

I second this. Gungrave is a great show. It sets the standard when it comes to video game-based anime.

EDIT: Darn typos. I shouldn't post so late at night ...
