So it's not just me, I was looking at them and going "Geeze, weren't a lot of these fanservice? Nah I'm just being biased," guess not. Anyway, not my cup of tea but I am curious to see Rideback. Even though I've heard from several people that the plot wasn't as good as it could be the concept sounds pretty different and with good visuals that's enough for me.

Wow, this is great news that Rosario+Vampire got licensed and with so many other great new shows getting dubbed my only problem will be stashing away enough money to buy some of them.

Really? ANN should have mentioned the other titles in the headline, also. I almost skipped over it after seeing the three titles in the big font. Of those three, I've only seen a handful of episodes of R+V, and I found it to be a pretty terrible show. I watched all of Rideback, enjoyed most of it, and even bought the first two Japanese Blu-Rays, so I'll get it if Funi can produce a decent BD release (of which I'm not too hopeful). Anything else might get a look when streamed, but definitely won't get a blind-buy. |

Phantom will be released on DVD (with a dub...as always). We just haven't announced the cast or a release date yet. Lance Your Friendly Neighborhood FUNimation Marketing Director Guy |

neat even though I'm not much of an ecchi fan I enjoyed Sora no Otoshimono (sp?). Also Hell yes for Chaos;Head and Regios I haven't seen Rideback yet I did hear some good things about it. I'm glad they are dubbing Hime, but I'm more interested in Phantom ~Requiem of the Phantom getting a dub since they had it for almost two years now.

Rosario+Vampire?! I am so happy about that! Since it's FUNimation they'll definitely do a great job.
Although...I am a bit worried about Mizore's song, Snow Storm. Can they pull that off and make the English version sound as good as the Japanese version? I hope they do and if they can't then they may as well not translate it. |

Wow, there's actually a company rep in the thread, nice.
Anyway, I'm totally stoked for Regios (I wish the novels would get translated, I want more of the story!). I generally don't watch dubs, but one thing I'd actually request would be to leave the Legend of Regios scenes intact. I think losing the Engrish (as horrible as it is, most of the time) would totally change the perspective of the scenes. |

Nice to see Gun X Sword getting a new lease on life. As one of the last titles Geneon completely released prior to September 2007, I'm surprised it wasn't included in the distribution deal with the other titles. It's a decent show, and it definitely has Code Geass vibes, for better or worse. Some parts foreshadow the ridiculous overdramatic excesses of Code Geass R2. As an added bonus, it has a pretty good dub from New Generation Pictures.

My thoughts exactly. They are on their way. I got rid of my Funimation DVDs for Air, Le Chevalier d'Eon, Gankutsuou, Kanon, and Last Exile and ordered the original ADV and Geneon sets. 
I'm expecting a bump in quality for Le Chevalier d'Eon and maybe Air. It would be nice if they all ended up having nicer video quality. Last edited by ZenErik on Sat May 15, 2010 7:08 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I cannot wait for rosario vampire, I have seem both seasons, and prefer the first, but I will get both to have a complete set. I will get chaos head, and rideback,
but I am still disapointed they passed on toradora, would have been nice to get an english dub of it for my girlfriend, she will not watch suntitled only shows |

This is some great news isn't it is what I would being saying if it wasn't for the fact that Funimation keeps licensing mediocre shows.
