Hi Guys!

Our PR Team had a few tidbits to share:

FUNimation had three new Websites launch today. The official sites for Solty Rei (www.soltyrei.tv), Rumbling Hearts (www.rumblinghearts.com) and Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid (www.fullmetalpanictsr.com) went live this morning. The first episode of Rumbling Hearts is available on the new site and if you haven't had a chance to see Full Metal Panic Episode 000, it is available at www.fullmetalpanictsr.com.

We also introduced some new programming to our FUNimation Channel today. Revolutionary Girl Utena debuted today on the FUNimation Channel. The series will run at 8:30 a.m., 3:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. ET. Woot! Go Channel! Razz


Personally I think I may just have to check out Rumbling Hearts. I have heard a lot of fans telling me it's pretty good!

~FUNiRepBlue out!~

My computer has FINALLY let me watch Episode 00. Neat! Can't wait to watch the entire series!

BTW Nice avatar!

EDIT: Just watched the first episode of Rumbling Hearts. Damnit, I was trying to be good and not get involved with another new series until next year! You people just have to put out good products don't you!

By chance will Utena be appearing on the CoLours TV block, as well?

Did ADV help you guys with TSR as rumored as far as voice talent goes? I cant imagine any or the voices having to be switched, they were too perfect in the previous two series!

Also, any chance for Utena or Rumbling Hearts coming to the COLours TV block?

Another thought, other than Spring 2007, do you have any idea when Tsubasa is going to be released? That is #1 on my "I want to get NOW!" list.

I'm really glad that Funimation is grabbing up all of the Gonzo titles. Geneon has done an okay job with there Gonzo releases, but lack the alternate angle OP/ED and 5.1 English remix.

I find it funny that Tasha Robinson from scifi.com had a recent review on Moonphase which mentions that they had never seen this angle feature before, even though she has been reviewing FUnimation titles since before Blue Gender!


"This disc has a feature I've never seen before: It lets you use the "angle" button on your remote to toggle the opening and closing credits between Japanese and English. Very nifty! Though it isn't much of an extra, and neither are the spare trailers/textless credit sequences that comprise the disc's only special features. —Tasha"

I think I'll be a brat and email her. I've mentioned this feature many times since I'm sure many other people have not noticed it yet.

Add another fan to that list, though I've seen more than the first episode... The English dub sounds pretty good as well; I was worried about name-mangling (Negima! isn't exactly stellar on the pronunciation front), but for the most part, my concerns were unfounded. Plus, Carrie Savage's Haruka = Anime smile<3Anime smile

Sorry to add to the temptation, Lydia, but if you trust my tastes in anime at all, get Rumbling Hearts Wink

Looks like the second one is up now too.

EDIT: Woops, my mistake. They have pictures there but they aren't up.

That is correct ADV did the recordings for the Voice Talent.
As for Utena and Rumbling Hearts on the COLours Block, Currently these are scheduled for the FUNimation Channel. We have received some great feedback for these shows and are working on these properties as well as aquiring other properties to broadcast. I'll do some more digging on whether we'll get some of these programs on the COLours block and get back to you guys with an update.

For Tsubasa: It's still either Spring-Summer 2007. We don't have a definite date yet, it all depends on production. However I do know recording has begun! I can't wait for this one either I love Tsubasa (I'm a fan of most CLAMP titles).

For School Rumble: I know it's 2007 but no date or estimate yet
