It's no surprise since Bandai never where, I think it plays out better this way. Funi's got it so they'd only have have the likes of Luck Christian, Haag and Pattern. Be an Azumanga Dioah deux.

Now that Nichijou is getting a release, I'm not sure if I'd rather pick it up right away or wait a bit longer if it means getting a fancy edition. The Nichijou art is great, so I guess it'd be well worth the wait if it does happen. For Nichijou, I suppose there's a reasonable chance that I'd just get both if I start feeling impatient.

I hope a UK release is announced fairly soon either way.

Considering Funimation deal exclusively through AL now, and AL love their KyoAni shows, as proved with them picking up both seasons of Free, Lucky Star, Haruhi and Sound!, there's not a doubt in my mind the UK will get a fancy LE.

Well, I hope you're right. I do also hope that there's a standard edition available in good time as well, I like the idea of a lot of people getting to see it even if I might be a little unrealistic about what people will actually buy.

I wonder if Nichijou will also return to Crunchyroll soon (maybe around the time of the Funimation release).
 
I'm not it's biggest fan but knowing myself I would end up getting the LE down the line if one comes, like Lucky star I won't get it immediately due to me already seeing it during my KyoAni watch
 
I'd definitely be interested in picking up Nichijou - and it sure seems like the kind of Funi title Anime Ltd would bring over too. Still a bit strange it's not getting a dub though, given the popularity of the show.

With this combined with the Wolf's Rain news, Funimation basically seems to be going through the whole back catalogue of everything originally released by Bandai > Bandai Entertainment - Anime Producer - MyAnimeList.net

So other releases I'd expect:

GITS - SAC
Sword of the Stranger
Planetes
.Hack Sign / .Hack Roots
Mai Hime
Witch Hunter Robin
s.cry.ed
The Big O
Infinite Ryvius
Zegapain
 
Another thing I've wondered - when are we going to start seeing more catalogue Funi stuff coming through to Crunchyroll? So far we only got D Gray Man and Grimgar - but I was under the assumption that they'd start to pull through other stuff too at some point...

Sword of the Stranger has been re-released last week on November 8th. Of those not released yet i would like to see a BD of Planetes but then again who doesn't :) Also Mai Hime and Witch Hunter Robin would be welcome on BD
