AnimeOnDVD has pointed out an online article which indicates that the anime Makai Senki Disgaea (which launches in Japan in April) is pre-licensed by Geneon. Geneon have made no official confirmation of the license as of yet. Makai Senki Disgaea is based on the popular Playstation 2 RPG...

I certainly dont want the US companies having a input in the contents of a title or to really see an anime that is made specifically for the US. I watch anime because its something unique, Ive never got into American films or cartoons much since I passed a certain age, they always bore me...

MVM's release schedules never really cease to amaze me at the moment. I expect to see ROD The TV #5 suddenly slip to October on its launch day.

I feel the same way really, part of me hopes it bombs so American culture dosen't influence anime to much in the future.

According to AnimeOnDVD Funimation have announced the rights to Afro Samurai. The series is produced by Japanese animation powerhouse GONZO, but will be released in the US before Japan. Hollywood actor Samuel L Jackson will be playing the lead character "Afro". Funimation will release the title...

Thanks was just updating the post as you posted, October the 3rd is indeed correct, have changed the topic to show this.

According to the Toonzone forums, Funimation have announced their license for the Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala movie. The events of the movie take place after the conclusion of the TV series. Update: AnimeOnDVD are reporting that the US release date for the FMA movie is now...

One of the few GAINAX titles that a lot of people have probably never heard of. There's another anime license announcement due from Funimation later today too.

According to a post on on the AnimeOnDVD forums ADV Films has licensed the GAINAX anime Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai (This Ugly and Beautiful World). No further information as to when the title will launch is yet available.

Agree with you totally here, name changes are not a reason to boycott a show for me, but restructuring of key parts is.

Stand by for major edits if your a fan of the show folks!

According to an update on AnimeOnDVD 4Kids have licensed magical girl anime Pretty Cure, which is currently on it's third series. 4Kids have announced the show will debut on US TV in September.

Yes it makes sense, but I feel a lot of people do make the labels meaningful. I often see people proclaim on other anime forums "ewww shoujo" if they are male and occasionally "ewww shounen" if they are female purely when they are told that a series is shounen or shoujo without any information...

I think its all pretty pointless to label anything "shoujo" or "shounen". Im female and theres plenty of shoujo manga and anime I like, and plenty of shounen anime and manga I like. Your gender is irrelevant when it comes to reading manga or watching anime really, all that matters is if the...

Hmmm it was ok, a good basic explanation of anime and manga and its influences into the west. Can't say I actually enjoyed it or it was anything new to me. But still, it was nice to see a documentry about anime and manga on a main terrestrial channel.

Personally I dislike the whole idea of ADV selling anything exclusively through their US site unless they start shipping internationally, while Im aware itll only be a few minor titles it only takes one I want that I cant import to make me rather annoyed in general. Personally while I couldnt...

Not a title that interests me (as per usual it seems when it comes to all recent licensing), but it's something I know a lot of fans have wanted for a long time. So yay for those who are looking forward to it.

Today at US anime convention Katsucon, Funimation have announced the license for slice of life romance series Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. The series will be renamed "Rumbling Hearts" and released in the US in October this year.

Just to note that the online store Roberts Anime Corner Shop have reached an agreement with ADV and are selling the item. They do ship internationally so you can buy it from them if your an importer who wants it.

I wasnt defending fansubbers, im fully aware of its illegality ;) . My main point was that they were scanning manga in thier native language in thier own country which is far more likely to get the companies interest.
