So they have enough money to re-dub Appleseed but none for everything else. Okay then.

Alright Hell Girl Season 2, I liked the dub but I can live with it if its sub only.

Color me surprised about the Hell Girl acquisition.
I can only speculate as to why Funi didn't get it. Perhaps they have too much on their plate right now. Maybe Section 23 outbid Funi. With lower overhead(no dub), they could have. After watching the 1st season dubbed, I am a bit disappointed that I won't have that option with season 2. It is better than not getting it at all, though. I mean, at this point, I wouldn't be 100% disappointed if Section 23 picked up Higurashi Kai. |

YES!!! Eyeshield 21 finally got picked up! Wasn't always convenient to watch the stream, so this is definitely good news!

I'll second that. I had to pick myself back up after falling out of my chair when I read that Hell Girl Season 2 was picked up by Sentai. I'm very glad for that and, like other readers, I really enjoyed the first season's dub. But what are you going to do? You can copy and paste the same complaints from prior Section 23 announcements here, or go and preorder it from TRSI, which I'll be doing. And I'll repeat a prior comment of mine where at least Section 23 hits their release dates. (see related Bandai article from a couple days ago...) |

It's a shame they're re-dubbing Appleseed - ADV did a horrible job dubbing Ex Machina, and the Animaze dub of the first movie is both very well cast and charmingly corny (Animaze: even at their worst, they're usually still better than everyone else
 ). I can only assume there was a licensing or distribution issue or something.
Oh well, I already own the old Geneon release. Last edited by hakojo on Fri Feb 26, 2010 1:40 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Just when you think they can't surprise me anymore they pull the rabbit out of their hat. Eyeshield 21 and Hell Girl 2.
 I love them and I don't care about no dub. Better then no dub then dvd release in my mind.
By the way I think was more they licensed You're Under Arrest: Full Throttle fully in December but much like Special A and others 26 episodes series they released it 2 collections. Glass Mask the only new series that released in 26 episodes at once and that was in those stupid stack packs. |

Yes, if Section 23 are going to pick up things that Funimation are not going to finish, then Higurashi Kai might be a possibility too. I hadn't even thought that far. That would be awesome though (for Funimation too, because I've been holding off on the first half of Higurashi). |

Asu no Yoichi! Hell yeah! I bought the manga right away thinking the anime would never get licensed.
This gives me hope for Nyan Koi! now, another splendid 12 episode AIC title in the same vein as Asu. I'll be getting its manga from CMX later this year too. |

Well this sucks. no dub... Well it could be possible sense sentai is re dubbing appleseed they could dub hell girl two(i hope so) I wondered what happened with Funi. Next thing you know sentai will pick shana 2 as well( for gods sake i hope not, i loved that eng dub). Im going to go to the Funimation Blog and ask Rojas what the F happened and are they going to unrelease the other series they have rescued.

Wow, this really changes a lot doesn't it? Now Sentai could use however well Funi's shows are doing (the numbers are made public somewhere right? Since I hear people talk about how well such-and-such shows are doing/not) and then snag the second season for less. This could be pretty interesting to watch.

If FUNi is just sitting on its laurels, then let 'em, I say. I for one would love to see all the Geneon/FUNi sequels make it over here already, no matter who licenses them. |

Wasn't there that Geneon Universal thing that kept a lot of the new Geneon Japan titles (including the sequels) in limbo?

This isn't really about THIS license, but I've noticed something interesting in the R2 industry. The complete Bluray editions of Mai Hime, Mai Otome and Kanon that came out in Japan had English subtitles. Otome and Hime had English dubs as well. Could this mean the R2 is sick of R1 and trying things out with English subs for themselves? Clannad is also going to have English subs on it's Blurays, but no English dub since it was never made. This COULD mean the end of R1 if Japanese companies start adding English subs to their releases. It would stop the fear or reverse import as well. It would kill dubs.

Very surprised that Funi wasn't the one to pick up the Hell Girl season 2, being that they had the first.
And it's nice to see, despite what happened with Big Windup!, another company is still looking into licensing sports anime. Hopefully it'll pay off for Sentai. Also, those hoping for a dub of Hell Girl 2, be prepared for disappointment - it's sub-only. http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/X0yMZoOqdezq8qjU4F/browse/item/86971/4/0/0 |
