Re: FUNimation March 2013 Solicitations

Still no Fairy Tail Season 2, but oh, well. Personally, I'm getting a (very) scary gut feeling that I'll have to wait till June for it. Time for me to play the waiting game.....there's still new anime coming out to spend my time with, though.

Re: FUNimation March 2013 Solicitations

Anyone know...the people is marketing their boxset part (or whoever if in charge of it), are they drunk when they decided what to do with them?

I mean...is it really needed to releases part 1 two times (one with the limited and 1 without the box). Wouldn't it just be smarter for them to...oh, I don't know, make part 2 with the box and not part 1?

Ok, what if someone doesn't want the box (like a bind buy for the 1st part to see if they like it), and decide to get part 2...well, you're not going to have that fancy box to put your 2 part show together. And I highly doubt said person is going to buy part 1, again, to get that box.

ADV tried that in the past and it back fired on them. They tried selling the box with volume 2 and they found out that releasing the box with volume 1 motivated people into buying the other volumes to fill up the box.

Funimation did release out a box on the last volume for Shuffle during the single days. The box eventually sold out, but it took much longer than usual, compared to titles like Claymore and Witchblade that came with a box with volume 1.

Yeah I've been waiting too, never thought it'd be this long of a wait

Yeah considering how fast Funi put out the first 4 boxes. It is a small suprise.

We cannot judge based on that since Manga UK or Madman leaked that a dub was being worked on before FUNi announced the pick-up and we do not know how long FUNi had the license.

Re: FUNimation March 2013 Solicitations

We honestly would love to see at least another season to the following.
1)Rosario + Vampire (Tie up the loose ends and give the relationship closure)
2)Spice & Wolf ( Solidify the relationship and finish the journey)
3)Sekirei ( There is too much left unfinished, especially the game)
4)Princess Resurrection ( what about the rest of the siblings, the battles and love interest)
5)Love Hina ( Give us a break, this couple needs to figure it out)
6)Kaze No Stigma (Big hang-up with unresolved ends. They have to get together and embrace their feelings for each other.
7)D Grayman( this journey, fight, mission, and entire story is unfinished)
8)Horizon in the middle of Nowhere( really needs to finish restoring the emotions of Horizon and finishing the story.
9) XXXHolic ( so much fun here and room for furthering the story it would be a sin not to continue)
10) Vampire Knights( Very powerful, emotional and down right inexcusable for not moving ahead with more)

Welcome to the forums. FYI, Funimation doesn't make anime, they just port it up here from Japan.

- Numbers 1 and 2 aren't going to happen, since the sales of season 2 were poor in Japan on both titles. Read the manga (R+V) and light novels (S&W) to see what happens on those titles.
- Number 3 (Sekirei) is likely, but only when the manga ends.
- For Number 4, Funimation doesn't even have the license to Princess Resurrection. Sentai has it and the anime didn't sell that well in Japan.
- Number 5 isn't likely going to happen, since it's really old.
- Number 6 isn't going to happen, because the author died before finishing the story. The anime covered all of the novels that were released in Japan.
- Number 7 is likely, since there is another season available. However, Funimation is having trouble acquiring it. It's stuck in licensing hell.
- For Number 8, again Sentai has it and they already announced that they acquired season 2.
- Number 9 isn't going to happen. The title bombed in the US according to Funimation.
- Viz has number 10 (Vampire Knight) and they already released what was available in Japan. No word if another season is going to be made.

Re: FUNimation March 2013 Solicitations

Really sad to hear that they will never finish Spice and Wolf, as I absolutely loved that series. Easily in my top ten anime.

As for the March releases... Pre-ordered Shana 3 the day it went live. May end up getting the SAVE version of Corpse Princess as some point.
