FUNimation Licensing Blitz Coming

Probably the same reason why they couldn't get all the Eva cast for End of Evangelion.

Remeraber, that movie notably had a new Kaworu and Gendo.
 
Exactly. Just as with so many others, ADV will dub it with their original cast while FUNimation gives it the release it deserves.
 
Hey Lance, any chance of rescuing Hajime no Ippo (better known as "Fighting Spirit") from Geneon? It probably wasn't as big a hit as something like Hellsing or Samurai Champloo, but the manga is pretty darn good and the anime keeps up a nice pace along with it (except the manga stopped at a turning point for the main character and it is going to restart again in less than a week...in Japan that is...), so what do you say, you guys gonna get it?
 
So, how good is Soul Eater, exactly?

From that trailer, it looks beautifully animated but the story doesn't sound interesting or original at all. Is there some sort of clever twist in the presentation which makes this something other than InuYasha-meets-Naruto-meets-Bleach-meets-insertoverexposedactionshonenhere?
 
And this announcement comes to the surprise of . . .?

*crickets chirping*

Anyway, I'm curious to see what FUNi does with the license. Soul Eater's BIG, so I am certain they're going to try to get it on TV. I'm interested in the series, but haven't watched an episode yet or read a manga chapter (I suppose I could try to get into the manga thanks to Yen Press).
 
the ball's back at the top again.

this is gonna sound crazy but... what if they're announcing something every hour?



because that trailer sucks. the show's not THAT serious.
 
Not bad, It's more like a parody of shounen anime, and the characters are pretty much parodies of other anime characters, so it pretty much makes fun of its own genre
 
No, they're not. They're still licensing some stuff, mostly live action, but they got Clannad not too long ago, and I seriously doubt that was a cheap license, seeing how it's a KyoAni-show.
 
Well my top guesses for Soul Eater on TV would be Either Funimation Channel or Cartoon Network (or Adult Swim if they want to show it uncut!) But yea Im really hoping theres a suprise or 2 left...I mean I agree about one of the clues being about EVA ...I Guess It would'nt hurt to wait till Midnight & see if any thing happens..or lets see soul eater was on the oppisite side...& the ball was back on top..mabye there gonna do what the big ball on TV does and have it Drop on midnight revealing a whole bunch of suprises on the other side of the pole!

But thats just a guess....
