Damn these delays. Bin waiting forever for the next Hellsing Dub.
Well, I'll take delays over "We aren't continuing this series".
Just hope that they are able to get One Piece season 4 and Higurashi Kai soon.
~Known as Envy on the old forums~
one piece season 4 and some movies are almost in the bag
higurashi seems to be a good possibility (which would play out in a shinchan/sgt. frog scenario)
the case closed movies seems to have a decent chance of getting picked up
and familiar of zero 2 and 3 have a small chance of getting picked up
while the case closed tv series is dead in the water, however funimation has said they have waived all rights to future seasons and S23 actually said it was a possibility for them at their industry panel
Tantei's FTW
funi has said they have interest in picking up the negima oads. i dont care about the series but i thought i would post it on here.
has someone from funimation actually told you that?
Tantei's FTW
it was a question at sakura con or anime boston they said they are aware of them and is on could pick up list.
They get asked about the OADs often at cons and I've seen reports of "we're aware/interested/looking into it"-type responses more than once,.
Signature? What signature?
Well I for one am hoping more Case Closed Movies & Higurashi Kai are announced by the end of the year.
I can understand though, funimation still has alot of stuff from last year to dub and release, as well as saves from other companies to re-release, so I can see why they are slow on some things. I am a patiant man however, I can wait.
I do have afew questions though, whats Funi's stance on Getting Five Leaves & Tatami on DVD/BD in the future, those are probably my fav Noitamina series.
Also, do you think Funi would consider getting the Kaito Kid OVA?
Isn't It Great To Different, Isn't It Great To Be Who You Are!? Once You Learn To Accept Yourself, You'll Become A Shining Star.
Negima OADs have been added to the list
Tantei's FTW
You should be providing links with sources each show list.
Also about Familiar of Zero season 2&3, FUNimation has said on their Facebook page that chances are not that good (goes off to find said statement).
