FUNi to the rescue bis
The North American anime distributor FUNimation Entertainment and Japan’s ARM Corporation have announced that ARM has transfered the rights to more than 30 of its titles — all previously held by A.D. Vision — to Funimation. Those rights include the home video, broadcast, digital, and merchandising rights in North America and other regions. The complete list of transferred titles is as follows:
* 009-1
* Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy
* Air Gear
* Air movie
* Air TV
* Blade of the Phantom Master
* Comic Party: Revolution
* Coyote Ragtime Show
* Devil May Cry
* Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor TV
* Jing, King of Bandits: Seventh Heaven
* Jinki:Extend
* Kanon
* Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora (once titled as Shattered Angels by ADV Films)
* Le Chevalier D’Eon
* Magikano
* Moeyo Ken TV
* Moonlight Mile
* Murder Princess
* Nerima Daikon Brothers
* Pani Poni Dash!
* Project Blue Earth SOS
* Pumpkin Scissors
* Red Garden
* Sgt. Keroro 1st & 2nd
* Tokyo Majin
* UFO Princess Valkyrie
* Utawarerumono
* Venus Versus Virus
* The Wallflower
* Welcome to the NHK
* XenosagaThese are most of the titles that had been removed from ADV Films’ catalog in January. A majority of them were relisted in ADV Films’ catalog in February, only to be gradually removed for a second time. ADV Films also once planned to release Gurren Lagann, but Bandai Entertainment announced in May that it had acquired the series. 5 Centimeters Per Second is not on Funimation’s list of transfered titles, but copies of ADV Films’ release remain available at retailers.
The joint Funimation/ARM announcement comes the day after Funimation announced it will also manufacture and distribute select titles that Geneon Entertainment (USA) had planned to release before it ceased in-house DVD distribution. Funimation indicated that the new titles from ARM will be significant to its efforts in “social networking, the FUNimation Channel, and Internet VOD.”

Oh. My. God.
Déjà qu’ils sont premier, là ils dépassent tout.
Je souhaite juste qu’ils suivent le format de ADV histoire de ne pas acheter en double/triple Kanon et Kyoshiro (pareil rapport à Geneon d’ailleurs). Et faudrait que je chope les Pani Poni Dash! d’ADV pour les notes. *checks* Ergh, va être difficile.
Et j’espère aussi que le fait d’être les plus ‘gros’ ne va pas être une excuse pour ne pas améliorer/résoudre leur seul défaut: la qualité vidéo.
Et don’t forget Darker than BLACK dammit!! Who cares about Ouran? /selfish
