Awesome! Here's hoping that they release it as individual dvds with an artbox rather than the cheap looking thinpaks they've been doing with new stuff recently >.> btw am i the only one that thought the trailer was all kinds of painful?
And please.. no Vic Mignogna this time around. -crosses fingers- |

Anyway, this is great news. I've been hoping for FUNi to get this show for quite a while now. I also agree that they should change their packaging-style, though... Seriously, if they're gonna release them in 2-disc sets with 13 episodes, can't they at least put those two discs in the same case, like they did with the original Dragonball? ...Though personally, I'd rather they increased the disc-count to three discs per set, so we'd have an average of 4 episodes per disc rather than 6/7. I haven't seen the trailer, (damned region-lock!) but I'll just mention that their One Piece-trailers are extremely cheezy as well. Not like it matters, I'm definitely getting it regardless of how bad the trailer is.

Yeah, that's the real trailer.
However, I don't think that was FUNimation's doing. It seems like a trailer that was pitched out by the Japanese to help pitch the series to foreign territories. Having seen some of TMS's Trailers, this is very similar. The trailer is marked "Japanese Trailer" too and there seems to be the fact that FUNimation's name is not located on the trailer at all. So take that as you may... ...Although, I will agree with guys that it was pretty terrible. ^^'' |

Ahh... it got licensed...
Right now I'm having doubts about FUNimation doing the dubs, but my other half is telling me to give it a chance and I might actually like it.( But after watching the trailer...I couldn't even watch the first minute of it....I died a little inside) |

Yes its a cheaply made trailer, but they probably just wanted to get the advertisement out quick. Also you haven't heard any of the character voices yet. Also Funimation is not a complete laughing stock when it comes to dubs. The Mushishi dub was beyond great, it was superb and I think it was better than the original. Its probably is my favorite dub-over work of all time. Beck, Full Metal Alchemist, Gunslinger Girl and Lupin the III are darn good dubs as well.

Well at least its nice to have the chance to buy it when it comes over. Will see how the dub ends up doing. Could be fine or they could make the voice actor for Black Star the same one as for Naruto....god help us all.
Though they've made watching the last quarter of the show a pain in the ass.

Yeah, no-else gets the honorifics. I suppose it's because they need to convey respect and/or Shinigami's authority?
A sickle is not a scythe. Do they think no-one will notice the mistake if they call Maka a 'sickle specialist'? No idea where they got that from. And calling Tsubaki an 'Assassin's' Weapon doesn't sound right either. I'm just being picky from what I've seen of the trailer. All things considered, I think it's a good thing the series getting licensed. It'll get wider recognition, which is positive. |
