Eve, Angie Eli and? That's fairly obvious Evangelion, right? Yay! :]

Well, Japan is a market for collectors due to the high price of anime DVDs, and the Japanese like their women young. Put those together and it isn't too hard to understand why a **** loli anime sold so well.
It's still fairly surprising that one of the best anime series ever sold so poorly. Don't Japanese anime fans buy anything that doesn't involve children, boobs, tentacle and rape (I really need to move to Japan)?

Then why bother with this count down? Why not just announce them as then normally do? It just got out hopes up for nothing. Not going to rush out and buy any of these (unless 10 is spectacular).Jayme said:

Fingers crossed 10 is Rebuild of Evangelion, though I highly, highly doubt it :/

It's Samurai Champloo.

Another fabulous series that absolutely needs to be back in print.

I've got to be honest: Funimation have built this up a lot and then provided a pathetic list. They don't even hold the licenses to the Geneon titles - they simply sell the DVDs for Geneon in repackaged sets. Funimation's name isn't even going to be on the soon to be released sets.
It's great that Gankutsuou (my #1) and Gungrave (my old #1) are getting re-released in America, but people want new anime and not a a lot of old stuff repackaged. Where are the sequel series such as Hell Girl 2, Shana 2, When They Cry 2? Where's Soul Eater? Where's Bokurano?

They can get half of this older stuff out a lot quicker than other releases. With Soul Eater and Eva, they'll need to get dubbing crew and packaging (some of which is already done with these Geneon releases)... I assume this is the reason for these rescues.
Still, UGH... I was expecting something, and I can't help but wonder if FUNi were too. I don't think New Show A Go-Go is over yet!
Oh, and:

Belated cheer for Slayers - I'll be grabbing that the moment it's available. Need to be sold on Nabari No Ou and have/don't want the rest but if stuff like Champloo and Gungrave can drum up some cash they can invest in more licenses and rescue classy shows like Gankutsuou as things grow then I can't complain.
Oh and I'll inevitably be getting Eva 1.0, of course. Saw it in the cinema though so that's less exciting than new stuff.
