Ah, so Funimation got this one. I'm still hoping it will be a shared simulcast with CR..

Maybe if enough people chip in and buy this SF release it'll generate enough interest for a sequel for THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI.

A man can dream, right?

FUNi must still be pissed that they ignored me when I suggested they pick up Short Peace. Rolling Eyes

From what I've heard, the second season is to follow Chun-Li and Guile.

Terror in Resonance and Tokyo Gouhl...Funi's doing a great job of making sure I don't regret caving for their subscription deal! Very Happy

I'm actually interested in Tokyo Ghoul because I absolutely adore Ga-Rei Zero.

? The same person made Tokyo ESP, not Tokyo Ghoul...otherwise I don't understand your connection xD

Either way imo Tokyo Ghoul is more interesting than Ga-Rei Zero...but I also don't like Ga-Rei Zero so my opinion isn't the best thing to go off there.

That's great for the home release but sucks for me as a simulcast. I really wish Funi would make a console app.

That Street Fighter looks as bad as Mortal Kombat Legacy. Live action is not always a good idea.

Thanks to mdo7 for the news tip


You're welcome, ANN. Smile

Last night I got an email from Youtube (well I subscribed to Funimation's YT channel so I get email on whatever video they uploaded) that this trailer got uploaded on Funimation, and send the link to the trailer to ANN's Newsroom email, and that's how my name got on my article as credit.

But this is kinda cool for Funimation to pick this up for simulcast. Will check this out.

Wow, we're still a month away from the start of the summer broadcast season and Funi already has three simulcasts planned? I'm guessing we should be expecting earlier announcements from now on?

Yay! this is one I was excited to see this season! I just hope it doesn't slip into generic shonen conventions, although its not in the weekly jump so that's a good sign.

I swept through it in a day, I quite liked it. And, Funi has SAF in the states while Madman is bringing it to me in Australia Very Happy
