Does anyone else want these two to get licensed? I have been waiting for the 3rd season of Kyo Kara Maoh! to be licensed by Funi for awhile now; since they rescued season 1 & 2 from Geneon. I would really like to be able to finish seeing this series and I have part 1 & 2 of Saiunkoku Monogatari’s first season (I still need to get part 3 soon.)

I would do unholy--no, unforgivable!--things to see Kyo Kara Maoh season 3 licensed in R1. The first two seasons are simply amazing. However, I wasn't aware that that FUNi rescued season 1 and 2? I really don't see the first two seasons having sold enough to warrant Funi taking a chance on the third.
So FUNi? What kind of unholy and unforgivable things can I do to get you to license it?? |

Well all of my originals single DVD’s say Geneon…however the last 4 (?) (I can’t remember what the last volume Geneon released) was distributed by Funi and now Funi has released boxsets for season 1 and 2. Same goes for Saiunkoku Monogatari season 1. Here is the information on the boxsets. release#14008 release#14251 release#14893 Here is the information about Funi will be distributing certain titles from Geneon back in 08. animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-03/funimation-agrees-to-distribute-select-geneon-titles |

Like you, Sora, I'm short volume three of Saiunkoku because I'm waiting to see if the stupid pricing policies required of Funi by Geneon will continue. (The complete boxset now sells for about $10 more than the 1/3 season sets.) I hope the 1/3 season sets end up in RightStuf's bargain bin at some point.
I don't imagine we'll see season two, though. I don't think Saiunkoku was an especially successful title here. It came out well after the run in Japan and never seemed to get much traction in R1. Also, to be honest, I didn't find the second season nearly as entertaining as the first. I still list S1 among my all time favorite series; S2 not so much. Looking at the list of S2 prices at cdjapan.co.jp, Geneon is not going to be in any hurry to open up the possibility for reverse importation. A box set of episodes 25-39 of S2 costs over $300 in Japan! No Dolby 5.1 either. |

ya id love to see the 2nd season of Saiunkoku to be licensed. but seeing that not alot of people are anticipated on this series that would be impossible. cant blame funimation on it since business is business. if they cant make any profit on it then theres no need for it to be continued just like what they did what they did on Big Windup! series.

I completely understand that it’s all based on business …however on the customers side of things…customers tend to lose faith in companies when they leave series unfinished…and I have incomplete series from both VIZ and Geneon/Funi. Now whenever I buy anime series I wait until the entire series has been fully-released and I never pre-order anything anymore because you never know if that series is really going to be finished now.

Yep true. Same thing i felt while i got left hanging on Zero no Tsukaima & Shakugan no Shana. they are both good series but i dont know why FUNi or other distributors license it yet. not just by me but for its numerous fans too

North American bookseller Simon & Schuster has listed that VIZ is going to be releasing The Story of Saiunkoku in November of this year... although the listing does not specify if it’s the manga or the light novel (I am personally hoping it's the manga...) so, maybe some anime company will get season 2 if this sells well.

Who cares?! Because no matter which one it is, I'll certainly buy it! |
