C/P from AoD:

FUNimation Anime Weekend Atlanta Announcement (11:21 AM EDT): According to information received from our contacts at FUNimation, they announced at their 10 AM panel at Anime Weekend Atlanta this morning their acquisition to the domestic distribution rights to Gonzo's latest series, Samurai 7.

Better finish up those BT's while you can.

Yes, we all saw this coming. It was a just a matter of when.

Freaking A! They were just about to fight the Nobuseri! Argh. I have to wait till the dvd comes out.

Timeless Enigma · 2004-09-25, 13:33

FUNimation...

The world has ended, I can tell you that.

Fighter Volk · 2004-09-25, 13:37

Please, shut up. Funimation is awesome - they release uncut DVDs with good quality subs. Who the hell cares about the dubs? Don't watch them. Appreciate Funi's DVD releases and be happy it's not 4Kids.

Somedude · 2004-09-25, 13:41

I wasn't expecting Funimation on this one. I was guessing it was either going to be Geneon or ADV. :/

DaShiouLong · 2004-09-25, 14:20

BULL ******* **** WHAT THE **** OMG!!! i hope they dont stop subbing still

VASH THE STAMPEDE · 2004-09-25, 14:36

of course theyl stop subbing cuz they suck thats why. every other sight on the net keeps subing but no this place wont what a load of crap.

Prince of Chronics · 2004-09-25, 14:43

Well... out of the groups that were takin care of this show... I can only expect one of them to continue... but they're like seven eps behind...

then there's other peeps out there who will hopefully take it where it left off...

it's all about patience...

if we're talking about the same one then they are 9 behind.

Anyway, Samurai 7 is something I intend to buy, since so far I really enjoyed it. I hope we can see the first DVD's by mid 2005. I've allready read bad comments about FUNimation, allow me to ask why? What made ppl think bad about them? I don't think I've bought any DVD's of them so far, so I'd like comments on this...

donna8157 · 2004-09-25, 14:55

=(

Well, I knew that it was going to be licensed sooner or later .. anyway, I plan to buy it when it comes out since it's such a fun series to watch =D

Alright! I love anime 'fans'.

Nobody should have ethics because you need your fix!

Choogy · 2004-09-25, 15:16

Oh darn...I guess there's just a lil wait now.

I was planning on buying anyways though...

Is that true? I thought that those subs were as bad as the subs of AJ...

srb · 2004-09-25, 16:54

The thing is that those who have already made up their minds that this is something that they want to pay money for will still download the "fan"subs of a licensed series since the groups don't have the ethic to stop. I don't like that groups don't stop but I can understand it since it takes a lot of time until the DVD's are released. Fullmetal Alchemist was licensed mid-series this summer, right? First DVD out in the middle of Januray. That's a lot of waiting to do. I'm not sure why since it can't all be about translation and editing but also probably because the Japanese companies don't want it to come out too soon or the Japanese consumers would import R1 DVD's, but I think I've heard something that the DVD manufacturers simply have a lot of work load and stuff get queued for a long time. Anyone can confirm or deny this?

BanditKing · 2004-09-25, 17:37

Damn I was hopeing for another company.This suck for me big time.Even though I knew they have the domain I wish someone else would license it.

Za Paper · 2004-09-25, 18:09

My biggest problem with Funimation is that the last two series they released, Tenchi GXP and Kiddy Grade, they only put 3 eps on a disc. Everybody else puts 26 eps on 6 or 7 discs.

I was hoping Media Blasters or Geneon would get it. Both of them are fast at releasing.

Kensuke · 2004-09-25, 18:39

I agree, I really hope that they will put 4, or even 5 episodes per disk.

But anyway, no big surprice that Samurai 7 was licensed, if I remember correctly Bakuretsu Tenshi was licensed after 13 episodes and Chrno Crusade before that, also when the series was still airing. I quess everybody wants series that are made by Gonzo.

WalDo · 2004-09-25, 19:35

Well just have to wait for the DVDs to come out. Hopefully early next year.

quikimpulse · 2004-09-25, 19:37

This is very unexpected. I was really starting to get into the series. Well, thats just the way things go. They decided to license it at the peak of the series. Just when the samurai made it to the village. Guess i will have to wait until 2005........
