FUNimation is excited to announce that we have acquired the rights for World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman!
From Diomedéa, the studio behind Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! (announced yesterday!), World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman will be joining our Winter 2015 Simulcast line-up. The first episode starts on January 18th!
What’s the show all about?
Akane Academy is just like any other school…except the students just happen to be reincarnated legendary heroes from a distant past who battled for the fate of the world. Now, evil monsters are threatening to wreak havoc, and it’s up to the students of Akane Academy to stop them! Follow Moroha, Shizuno, and Satsuki as they navigate love, past lives, and kicking butt in this action fantasy with a dash of fanservice.
Take a look at our Winter 2015 Simulcast line-up so far, and check back tomorrow for more announcements!
Only other show for Home Video rights, that I’m waiting for, is Date A Live II.
3 shows left I’ll guess: The Testament of Sister New Devil (licensed by Madman for AUS), Kantai Collection (licensed by Madman for AUS) and Isuca (animated by ARMS & the manga has lots of nudity plus Madman got it for AUS)
I agree with the Licencing DAL II for home video and trollslayer1000 dose Funimation and Madman usually always licence the same stuff?
YES!! Can’t wait.
Highschool DxD BorN
Shokugeki no Soma
Yamada and the Seven Witches
Get those for the summer simulcast
Don’t you mean spring?
And here I was, sitting here, hoping that maybe, just maybe, you’d get Junketsu no Maria. Alas, it appears that will not be happening.
The title of this show is very odd to me. I don’t know where it comes from but the original Japanese title “聖剣使いの禁呪詠唱” doesn’t mean “Aria of curse for a Holy Swordsman”. “聖剣使い” = Holy Swordsman so that part is OK but “禁呪詠唱” means “casting forbidden spell” not “aria of curse”. Yes, “呪” means “curse” but in this case, “呪” is abbreviation of “呪文” which means “spell” or simply “magic”. So the title should be “Forbidden spell cast by a holy swordsman” or “A holy swordsman with arcane magic”.
@underworld91 – it may not translate the same, but when the Japanese licensor provides an English language title, they’re not always trying to make it a strict translation but often what ~they~ think will make sense in English. Even if it makes no sense to a native English speaker.
Got it, thanks.
Okey, this sounds alot like Fate Stay Night. I hope this one actually gets simal dubbed. I’m visually impared so I can only follow dubs.
Very much looking forward to this title, thanks Funi. 😀
Is this going to be a one week delayed show for the entire season?
I was wondering this myself. I thought it was supposed to come out on Sunday, but I guess Funi missed something. Really like the show so far, but I guess I’m not watching it on Funi.
This show has been announced to get a broadcast dub.
