Warning this is my first forum so give me the benefit of the doubt if it sounds bad.
Okay so I've gotten back into to XxxHolic, and I've finally watched the rest of the anime and i was like, whoa! where's all the good stuff that happens later in the manga? So i researched on wiki to see if there's another part and there is it's called XxxHolic: Kei which has a total of 13 more episodes! even more on that there the 2 episode speical xxxHolic Shunmuki and the to last ova's xxxHolic Ro and xxxHolic Ro Adayume so what i would like to know at the very least if Funimation was interested in continuing the xxxholic series by at the very least purchasing Kei.

XxxHolic: Kei?
All signs point to no, since xxxHolic is part of the S.A.V.E. line.
Which totally blows, because it's actually a pretty great series. I think it's annoying that they are continuing with Tsubasa and not considering more xxxHolic. They intertwine!! (sorta)
I sometimes like to believe I'm witty, so check out my blog!
Agreed. I really enjoyed xxxHolic (both the anime and manga). To NOT consider releasing other seasons of xxxHolic since (I would assume) is a popular series here.

The continuation or discontinuation of a series distribution in the U.S. all depends on its sales (for the most part) If you really want to see Funimation pick-up more of xxholic, then your best bet is to get more people into the series, and get them to buy it. (as opposed to watching illegal fansubs.)
But yes, as of now XXXHolic is basically on indefinate Hiatus, Funi has no current plans to get anymore of the series, and no one knows if they ever will.

Anime fans have got to start putting their money where their fandom is. All of the leeches are destroying this industry. It keeps shrinking and eventually there won't be any licenses, not even sub-only ones.
English dubs rule! Spread the love, raise the profit, get more anime.
Nipa! Back on the forums after a computer crash! Nipa!

@Richard: Thanks.
I agree, the modern etnertainment industry in general is hectic enough as is. It doesn't need people leeching off of it. (The celebs of the world are already doing that, lol.)
Also, admitingly off-topic, but love your Sig. I agree Funi should get AnoHana (and Five Leaves & Tatami Galaxy, and...*goes of into rant*)
But yeah XXXholic is a solid series, I'm not a huge fan of it myself, but my view on the situation is, if they continued Tsubasa, no reason not to eventually continue XXXholic. Since as said by others the two series are intertwined. But yeah, as said, for the fans of the series, your best bet is to go out & buy it (if you haven't already) and get others (who are already into anime, since thats easier) to do as well.

I don't know about the US but I gather xxxHolic did badly other here - Manga UK swore off anything CLAMP because of it.
Signature? What signature?
xxxHolic has a different tpe of fan base altogether. I think it is a pretty decent series, certainly better than some of Funimation's other stuff. But as a business, they need to make money. If you want it to even have a chance, get more people to buy it. The problem is that the more time passes, the chance of it happening tends to dwindle.
Being wrong is not a democracy!
I gave up hope of it ever being dubbed, and watch it subtitled.
Though if FUNi ever did dub Kei, I would re-watch it in a heart beat.

I posted about this recently in the Funi general forum. I only found the series recently and I've bought the series and movie as well as the movie and some merch for a friend. I've also been watching the series with Netflix as well.
I know Kei is almost 4 years old now but the most recent OVA came out earlier this year. I'm still holding out. I'm hoping the series will gain more popularity through streaming as time passes. It may not be popular enough to warrant more dubs but I don't think Funi will let the license go run out soon.
