Wich of these shows will make the cut, wich ones will Funi liscense of 2010! well you'll just have to check Funi's site & Blog the next 2 weeks of December to Find out! Have Fun guessing wich ones they'll get!
BASQUASH! REALLY?
I mean the show was good... for episode 1 then went to hell from 2 - 11, but gotten better after 12 but had a disappointing ending (Most fans where upset with the ending, me not so much). It's really not a show that Funi should wanted their time & money on because it wouldn't even be a hit on DVD sales or online.
But yeah, More Detective Conan plz because the Case is not yet Closed!
... OOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!
Please include the rest of Hellsing Ultimate. Please include the rest of Hellsing Ultimate.
Though I approve of "Include Hellsing Ultimate", my heart is saved purely for the one show Funi has already dubbed. Slayers Evo/Revo. With 85% original voice cast, yay.
Now, Bandai. Haruhi Season 2. Endless our Eights. You must translate Bamboo Leaf in order to translate the movie next year.
I could go for some Lupin the 3rd... I really liked the Miyazaki movie
And yeah, Bandai, please do what Craig asks of you =)... and maybe do Haruhi-chan as well. I'll by the DVD!
Whats all this talk of Badnai People, This is about Funimations events & Anime that they could possibly Acquire!
I want want want want WANT SUPER F***ING WANT a copy of Detroit Metal City that I can own.
But I don't know if the dub can keep all of the rampant hilarity that's in the original Japanese.
Also, yes, NEED MORE HELLSING ULTIMATE WITH THE SAME VA'S AS BEFORE.
Also, they need to get around to releasing Seto No Hanayome.
The Bandai talk was specifically because there are shows that require dubbing that Funimation do not have the rights to, even if the world is divided on the Haruhi "season 2" debacle from earlier this year, no one can deny that the movie must be translated--- this requires season 2 for context.
But back to Funi for a second, there is one thing not listed here which I do want them to do, something they have access to the rights for infact.
Dragonball Kai. I realize it would be redub number 3, but this would be redub number 3 with HD resolution, color correction (yay no more brown haired Vegeta) and all of the filler removed. As it's impossible for me to watch DBZ in Japanese (see the topic regarding subs earlier this month) I need that to be translated and Funi have done a good job with the full sized show, I'm sure an abridged (not THAT abridged) version would be a piece of cake.
PS: Rosario+Vampire should not be translated until someone puts a gun to the anime director's head and tells them the show should have an action theme and that going two seasons without introducing Ghoul Tsukune is missing the whole damn point of the manga! (PS: the point is not panties).
@Craig, your so right, the Manga makes the Anime look like a bad Fanfic, but personally I would'nt mind having at least the 1st season Dubbed, for the sake of hearing the characters in English.. I mean i'm one of those guys that makes up voices in my head when I read comics anywho, but it would be nice to have some offical voices as well.
as for DBKAI,FUNI is just now releasing the Dragonboxes they probably won't go after KAI till those are over, but I guess they might go after the new DBZ OVA that came out last year.
But I'm Guessing Hetilia: Axis Power will be one for sure, they hinted at it at the last confrence, they also Refrenced sailor moon, but in a sense that make you think they might still not be able to get it, but this could just be a tease.
Either way im looking foward to the count down, theres so many choices but only a handful will get picked...C'mon Funimation give us some good stuff this year!
I know most people despise it, but I need K-ON. Now.
I think K-ON is OK, I hate the Moe aspect, but love the band aspect, theres just not enough toons about bands. anywho here's the one's I hope they liscense,
1. More Case Closed.
2, The rest of Hellsing Ultimate
3. Dr. Slump
4. Pandora Hearts
5. Rosarito+Vasmprie season1 (so I can here the voices in english)
6. Sailor Moon Redub! cause we need it
7. Lupin III VS Conan OVA
8. save Trigun
9. save Lupin III
10. Basquash,( becuase its just so rediculious its fun to watch, even if it is bad. I mean basket ball playing mechs will sell for pure cheese Value)
The Rollout Riot Starts the 28th it seems, I thought it would start sometime this week, but it didn't & from now till the 27th all the funi staff are off for the Holiday. so we won't get any news on the rollout till Monday December 28th. My guess is they'll start dropping hints on monday & annoucne all the new titles in a countdown on the 31st.
I want dubbed English versions of Dragonball Kai and Hetalia: Axis Powers!
Turns out the Riot starts today! Suopposedly at 9:00 A.M. Mountian time (or whatever 9:00 am for Texas is, since that is where funi is located!)
According to Funimations Twittering; they will bring the announcement out at 2pm Central. So just a little while for the wait.
all they've announce so far is a bunch of stupid LA stuff..but they said anime would come soon!
