School rumble uk

Dear everybody

Hi schoolrumble1406 here I think that school rumble should be broadcast in the uk because I live in the uk and we can't watch school rumble unless we go on YouTube but most of school rumble is in Japanese . So funimation should ether put up evry episode in English on YouTube or show it in britan

Schoolrumble1406 out cool

Re: School rumble uk

FUNimation does not have the broadcast or streaming rights for School Rumble, they only have the rights for the US and Canada.

If you want School Rumble broad or stream in the UK, you will have to bug licensing companies in the UK.

Re: School rumble uk

What he said, basically. There are a handful of UK companies that end up picking up up FUNi and Viz titles for release over there, so I'd look into which company grabs most of FUNi's stuff there, and try to convince them to pick up School Rumble. ^_^

Re: School rumble uk

FUNimation DOES have the rights for School Rumble in the UK - it was released through Revelation Films while FUNimation was using them as a local distributor. No-one in the UK has the rights for thiose titles any more, they would need to be sub-licensed from FUNimation. Manga is FUNi's current parter, but for whatever reason only sub-license new titles. MVM have re-negotiated two titles they formerly distributed for FUNimation during their tenure, Kiddy Grade and Fruits Basket.
The only company streaming FUNimation titles in the UK is FUNimation themselves via YouTube, and they only upload a few episodes dubbed. Broadcast is out of the question as no channel will take it - the odd Ghibli film is all we get other than Akira - and Manga PAID for that.
