I don't want to be too optimistic! That might jinx the whole thing!
Seriously though, the "Tenchi miracle" gives me high hopes that Funimation will be able to work something out for Slayers Revolution. Heck, at least Ortiz, Stuart, Taylor, Freeman, and Moo and still active in the VA industry. I heard that most of the Tenchi cast had to be pulled out of retirement for the OAVs!
My guess is that Geneon Japan shares some of the Slayers production and/or distribution rights with Enoki Films.
And I wouldn't worry about Slayers Revolution getting a dub with LA actors. Geneon Japan is still going strong; but Geneon USA crashed and burned a while ago.
