I wonder whether Manga will get the dub from Funi or make a new one. Hope for the latter though, because Manga has already dubbed lots of titles in the way Sengoku Basara should be dubbed.

I would like to hear a Manga Entertainment dub for FMA.
With Sharon Holm as Riza Hawkeye. |

The only Manga Entertainment series I have is Tactics, but they've done a good job, so I'm happy for the series that got licensed by them.

I'm happy the UK is getting FMA, they still don't have the first series licensed, nice to see other fans from over there will get nice shows.

Maybe I'll wait and buy the UK release, as it's nice to hear of something I want to buy coming out over here, rather than having to buy it from the states like I have to do with so much stuff I get (and occasionally be stung by customs charges on top!).
Although a UK Blu-ray release would make me much happier, as while I have a multi-region DVD player, I don't have multi-region Blu-ray... |

This is manga as in funis UK distrubutor me thinks. I doubt they'd dub anything themselves unless it was an undubbed film (they turn far better profit than series from what I hear). Come on most UK distro can't aford to master DVDs (requires NTSC-PAL conversion) they share the same r2/r4 master with madman. Negima?!, for example, only said it was madman in the DVD credits in smallprint.

Regardless of how tentative this claim is, I expect they'll implement the service long before Funimation finally reverts the "temporary" access restrictions on their video portal. At least we'll have legal access to this title once again.
I was lead to assume Revelation Films fulfilled such a role. |

MVM were then Revelation were (last releases were in may), now Manga are. I hope they pick up some of the old rights and keep some titles available on boxed set. 1-2 year old shows being OOP is very bad for newcomers who'll buy something in shop only to realise one random volume of the series is impossible to find or very expensive. |

FMA is good news, but Sengoku Basara? I'm not sure why they got this license, but I still hope that it does sell well, since I definitely won't be spending a penny with this.

Two obvious licenses. They just need Eden of the East and Soul Eater then that's pretty much a full sweep of FUNi's most popular, and most likley potentially best selling shows of 2010.
One problem is no Blu-ray = no buy. FMA is popular enough to entitle half season Blu-ray sets and Sengoku Basara is a possible. Both also have native HD masters, something Manga UK like to stick by (they've stated they won't release upscaled Blu-ray releases as they see no point). |

Manga probably hasn't licensed these themselves but are distributing for FUNimation, so it comes down to whether FUNimation managed to obtain (or even wanted) the UK rights to those shows and whether they choose to exercise them. If FUNimation doesn't have the UK rights to one of their titles for whatever reason it isn't impossible for Manga to negotiate them separately of course. |
