Funimation announce licenses for new .hack, Guilty Crown

[Rui]

Funimation has announced that they have the US home video rights for .hack/Quantum and Guilty Crown.

They have also confirmed more One Piece is coming and people should "stay tuned" for more information once their negotiations are ready, and acknowledged that they have been pursuing a licence for Sailor Moon for around five years, but are still trying.

Here's an ANN link just so I feel I'm involved: http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/news/ ... ilty-crown

What's interesting about Guilty Crown, is they will debut episode 2 at the New York Anime Festival 4 days before the Japanese airing.

Interesting to know about Sailor Moon; especially as the manga has just started being rereleased. Back when it was airing I was still young, so I had the whole "I'm a boy, I have to like boy things!" jazz going on...I am intrigued by the manga though.

I think that's the first time I've posted a news story ^^;

If anyone wants to see more panels and footage from the convention, the livestream is still up at http://live.niconico.com/gate/lv65459992 (or on the NicoNico Live page for those who use the Japanese site).

Guilty Crown is on my list to watch so this is good news!

Yay, have fallen behind on .hack recently, glad I'll be able to get Quantum some time in 2015. As for Guilty Crown, I am not so hype for that show, so Funi sitting on the license for a few years might not be so much of a shame.

Hopefully GC is either on AoD or Funi's Youtube.

Interesting to know what's happening with Sailor Moon, since I would really love to own the series on DVD.

Really hope that funi get sailor moon. The original dub is god to honest terrible and a new one would surely be a big improvement. Also if it was left uncut that would be a good thing as well!
