If I remember correctly, FUNimation's broadcast dub of One Piece kept all of FUNi's name changes for consistency.
(In all seriousness though, I'd read it. Can Shonen Jump simul-pub it?)

While it's hilarious, thankfully that's not the final artwork as Box 1 has this to offer:

Haha made me laugh too. Think I will stick too the single collections as that box set is a bit bland tbh

Seriously. No Waifus present in this discussion.

That black cover for One Piece looks nice, is it the first four volumes packaged into one?
Get out.
No srsly, I like all the girls but Onodera <3 The fact that she gets a spin off & Gorilla doesn't might make my disappointment a bit less painful when Gorilla ultimately wins.
Whenever "Nisekoi" & "Best Girl" get bought up, it just derails everything. I would say I'm sorry but at least I now know where peoples loyalties lay in this war
When will someone pick up this show for the UK? It's not in KAZE hell is it?

Kaze have it in France I believe, so I don't think a UK release even worth thinking of (cos even if it does happen, it'll be terrible).
Hanabee have picked up Red Data Girl and it looks like they were able to release a Blu-ray version, sounds like Funimation might be able to release theirs soon perhaps?
They also licensed Blood Lad and Problem Children, both on Blu-ray and DVD.

I kind of think part of its appeal is that it is so utterly formulaic/cliche - but within those parameters, does a slicker, more efficient job than a lot of other, similar shows out there. At it's heart, it's just good, clean fun - executed well. Also, the character designs are very well done in my opinion and there are some genuinely moving moments too. It does a good job at telling self-contained stories within single chapters in the manga, too.

The problem being we've seen the autor do AAA work with Double Arts so every new chapter of "MOBSTERS DO F**KING NOTHING WHILST THE WORLDS MOST BORING VERSION OF URISEI YATSURA DOESN'T HAPPEN" is a reminder that the good's talents are being wasted.

Heard good things about Problem Children, hope that MVM look into sub-licensing that (Blu rayyy) or whatever they call it .. that's if it being on Animax doesn't hinder a physical license.

The Naruto Manga Box Set 2, meanwhile, will cost $175 USD. Featuring volumes 28-48, it also comes with a pilot story mini-comic and double-sided poster.
The two boxsets are scheduled for release in July 2015.

Sounds fine to me. Those Pokémon Adventure boxsets are a godsend given how many story arcs that thing has.
I started my Bleach collection with the first box. I have brought the others individually now, mind you, but the idea that you could get to the end of the Arrancar arc in two purchases is good news for people who haven't started yet.

Not sure if its been posted but Madman have picked up Love Live School Idol Project for streaming & home video : https://www.facebook.com/madmanent
Kyoukai no Kanata [Beyond the Boundary] news have been revealed with regards to the movie.
Gekijō-ban Kyōkai no Kanata -I'll Be Here- (Beyond the Boundary the Movie: I'll Be Here), will have two parts. Kako-hen (The Past) will open on March 14, and Mirai-hen (The Future) will open on April 25. Kako-hen will recount the events of the television series, centering on the heroine Mirai Kuriyama. Mirai-hen will be a brand-new work, set one year after the television series. A teaser trailer has also been released.
Sentai Filmworks have the rights to the TV series for North America with an upcoming Collector's Edition similar to H.O.T.D. & Chunibyo.

Aniplex of America sets for Durarara!! and Rurouni Kenshin: The Movie are now closing out on RightStuf. Both of them have been around much longer than the 2013 titles they've released. Once they're gone, Bakemonogatari & Nisemonogatari will be next in line for being the longest surviving set for Blu-ray owners.

Rolling Girls PV 2. Done by the studio who gave us HAL & Attack On Titan.
Looks interesting enough for me. Animation wise it's giving me Kill La Kill vibes here & there. Will definitely check out the first episode.
EDIT: Just a thought, seeing as we have MVM & MangaUK discussion/Q&A threads, what do you all (& Andrew if you see this) think of making an Anime Limited one? =]

Mega-post time due to the lack of time due to some college tasks. So essentially it's another post collecting multiple comments of mine into one post.
I need some extra cash and luck as well. And more time for my project, AUKN and socializing on Twitter and Skype. And *everybody stops listening as the lists continues*
Nota bene: seriously, November has been a really bad month for me bar one thing I may post in another thread about.
◄ Familiar of Zero: The major disappointment of the year is for me clearly this baby. I have no clue what I'll do with this franchise now. I have been looking forward to watching this anime ever since I got into anime and I have been hoping the rest would get dubbed ever since I got into anime. So this joins a list of disappointing announcements from Sentai Filmworks alongside Pet Girl of Sakurasou, Henneko, NouCome and some others. *sigh*
Somebody suggested Sentai put it out sub-only as they've held the license to season 4 for 2 years and they've not gotten any cash back from that license yet, so they probably want to shove out season 2, 3 and 4 asap now and may come back to dub it in a year or two. I hope this will be the case. The thing I know is that Familiar of Zero won't be on my list for a while now.
◄ Student Council Discretion: It's pretty much like Familiar of Zero to me, but not as bad. I may watch that subbed in 2016. I'm giving Sentai time to dub it, that's why I say 2016.
◄ Outbreak Company: At least there's some good news, isn't there?
◄ World God Only Knows (s3): Well... It's getting dubbed, but due to the DVD-only UK release I'll have to figure out some stuff. Also, I hope Sentai get the OVAs out sometime in the future as well, apparently they're important I hear.
◄ Place to Place: Hmmm... I may actually want to buy that and watch it subbed. Will wait due to the grace period policy I founded.
Either only a part gets printed at first or they only use a certain amount* of discs from the first print run to avoid cluttering the storage (and avoid having to pay more for using more space).
*500 or 1000 in most cases as far as I'm aware.
◄ Ping Pong the Animation: Just as with Flowers of Evil, I don't like the animation style at all.
◄ Tokyo Ravens: Definitely interested in this one.
◄ Puchimas!: I wanted to say I was slightly interested, despite the sub-only, but a DVD-only makes all my interest go away.
Regardless, I'm happy it succeeded already. Not sure whether I'll buy the game or back the KickStarter via the Paypal option.
Perhaps split off everything about anime releases or distributors to a separate zone.
I have been meaning to make a post with suggestions in the feedback zone but never can find time to do it. (Might have to make time for it though. I hate to be a nuisance though.)

Good, I guess. Now let's hope Sentai dubs it. (*ducks for the tomatoes thrown by Mangaranga*)VoxPhantom said:

I really don't like how they said "Additionally, we will not be recording an English dub.". I think that's pretty retarded of them. It's no way to attract people who watched Clannad (anime) dubbed.NormanicGrav said:

It would definitely be sad if "RDG" didn't get an UK release with the slogan "Even Reading knows about it.". xP #RDGNormanicGrav said:

I do approve of the idea, but the "General Anime Discussion" zone feels like an utter mess, extremely cluttered and unorganised to me at this moment in time. I really wish Rui or Arbalest could perhaps split that zone into 2 zones.Dannielle said:
