We have recently been made aware of an error in listings for Senran Kagura: Ninja Flash! which stated that the release includes six OVA episodes. We do not have the rights to these extras, and they are not included on the release.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact productconcerns@funimation.com. Thank you!
Nice, why was it only TODAY that fans were made aware of this fact, when it’s been what? April? APRIL since the solicitation for this release said it included the 6 OVA extra’s! For christs sake you guys even had an english translation for the OVA titles. False advertising much? Yup, me thinks so. You’ve lost a fan today, and I know you probably don’t care since you have a legion of tards still buying your DBZ re-releases to keep you afloat. But whatever. Sayonaro retards. Sayonara retards.
I think they made Omakes, not OVAs.
Because some guy (me) got his LE shipped a few days early and when he found about it, he made a complaint about it. I do feel somewhat cheated and I don’t understand how a mistake like that can be made. This is the first time and the last time I’ll ever pre-order anything from Funimation.
Come on guys, give us the OVAs.
No worries guys. I wanted the dvd set anyway so I’m not mad.
The fact the FUNi shop, RightStuf, and other retailers have had the OVAs listed as an extra complete with English titles for so long and it’s only just now been corrected is kind of deplorable. Preorders have started to be fulfilled and credit cards have been charged and now the corrections come in and a notice is posted? This comes off very badly no matter how you spin it. “I’m sorry we earned some cash through false advertising please forgive us?”
At least Right Stuf is making it right by offering returns from disappointed customers.
BTW it’s Funimation that’s at fault here, they are the ones doing the localization. They should no better what exactly on this set and should have corrected it earlier. The other retailers just run off the info they were given from Funimation.
Rightstuf shouldn’t really be blamed here. They only go off the information FUNimation gives them and to be fair unlike FUNimation themselves they have openly said they will refund you.
And some wonder why people pirate… This is insulting to fans.
Nah, all the people I know who pirate do it because they just feel like downloading episodes from their favorite pirate-subber right after it airs. Most people would probably just take a mistake like this and use it as “justification” for not paying.
I do kinda wonder if it made it on the boxes, or was just a mistake they originally made on online solicitations that they didn’t catch.
I’m just completely astounded here. I know FUNimation has made plenty of mistakes, more than they normally do recently, but this is just ridiculous. How on earth do you find out until NOW that the release doesn’t have these extras? Did like anyone do QC on this set, at all? And even before QC, you should know what is and what isn’t on this set.
If FUNimation makes one more big mistake, I am done pre-ordering from FUNi ever again (Save for Escaflowne) until they show signs of improvement.
Was just watching my copy when I went to a forum for SK2 and read this news. How the bloody hell did something like that slip by?! Only one thing can serve as proper penance, Strike Witches Movie. Or get those OVAs and send them along to people affected by this.
Seriously, are you alright FUNimation? You’re really starting to worry me. You want people to believe you’re the industry leader and yet you just pulled the kind of mistake even amateur hour licencors know to avoid. Like, this is a thing someone could file a class-action suit against you for (especially since you guys decided to scrub your site hours before releasing an official statement) not to mention I can’t imagine Showgate is too pleased with you right now.
I want to trust you guys, I really do. But stuff like this, even to a show I never really cared about, tells me I can’t. I’ve pulled all preorders I’ve had with you until you can prove you’ve changed. I really do not like what you’ve become over the past year and a half.
1: Here’s the reason why you don’t do pre-orders.
2: I WAS planning on buying this series… But I saw the horrible treatment (from everybody) Ikagura’s foster brother Murasame. Never Again.
3: C’mon, FUNi. Step Your Game Up. The… (government-backed) Weaksauce Animu Industry are clamping down on the “illegal downloading” of animu and mango. On top of the shounen-bullying, “copy of a copy…” complaints, “directing from a psychiatrist chair,” “Het-No,” and “high art + bad scripts;” you need more reasons to buy anime, not less.
