| According their official twitter, FUNimation has licensed the TV anime series Shiki. The 22 episode series aired on the noitaminA broadcast block last year from July to December. FUNimation will be releasing the series on Blu-ray and DVD in the spring of 2012. Update FUNimation has announced on their official blog that they have acquired the broadcast, digital, and home entertainment rights for Shiki. Their blog specifies 24 episodes however, which implies they are also going to release the two unaired episodes that are going to be released on the eighth and ninth Blu-ray Disc/DVD volumes, though this has not been confirmed.

| Too bad the ending to it was awful. It could have been the best show of 2010. |
| Ok™ |
| I will buy it |
| I thought they already licensed it since they simulcasted it on their website?? I only watched the first episode I need to go back and finish watching it. |

| Simulcast doesn't mean licensed? |
| I'll buy it o u o |

| Ok™ |
| This is good news for me, I'll eventually get around to watching it, and if I like it I'll definitely buy it. |
| I wouldn't have ever picked this to get a stateside release, pretty surprised. |
 |
| Yesssss, come to my anime collection Shiki~ |
GarLogan78 said: Simulcast doesn't mean licensed? No because otherwise CrunchyRoll would own the license for just about everything released the last 2 years. Simulcast is right to stream it, License gives right to distribute, sell characters, media, etc. |
 |
| wow this is great!!! even though I dont like most dubs i will still be buying this ^^ |

You wanna know bout lame SK endings, read the Tommyknockers. (and this from a stout fan) On topic though, hells yes Shiki. Now I can buy one of my favorite animes. |

McRib said: Too bad the ending to it was awful. It could have been the best show of 2010. Agreed, though I will still buy Shiki as it's one of my fav of 2010 |
| English dub ? |

| Wha-- what about.... Tatami Galaxy...? Please tell me they're releasing that on BD too. |
| I thought funimation already had licensed it already because I just started Shiki a few days ago and on their website they already had it there....I guess your talking about a dub |
 |
| Good thing I already finished Shiki. No lawsuit for me. |

| So... Simulcast doesn't mean licensed...? |
 |
| YESSSSS. I'm assuming it'll have the Japanese audio still, right? |
 |
| Will buy it when i have the saved up money and un-aired episodes~ interesting<3 Its truly was one of the best shows of 2010. |

| Ah .. i wish i was in japan or America or some place i could buy it ! |
 |
| they made a good deal |
| Will be buying it :) |
  |
| I don't buy Funi dvds so I know nothing about their releases, but this anime is what I've been wishing for since it ended. So can anyone tell me if they're going to release it in japanese or english dub (or dual audio with subs if possible)? I still have doubts on english voices but if it turns out great then I'll buy it. |
| I loved the last few episodes, I was quite surprised. I stopped at like 18 and came back and watched the rest and was like, wow. No spoilers, though. |
| Usotsuki. |

|
| I can't to wait to buy to my own copy :D THANK YOU FUNIMATION! ^_^ |
| Glad to hear they'll be releasing it. That's one of the top animes I want to own. stormgoddess said: I don't buy Funi dvds so I know nothing about their releases, but this anime is what I've been wishing for since it ended.

FUNi usually puts up the first few dubbed episodes on their site, so you can get a chance to hear the voices before you buy it. I haven't heard of a release of theirs that wasn't dubbed. But their dvd's always have the original language too. |

| It does need to take a fuking year for just a dub, and production Funi. :| You have the subs, and ED/OP from your simulcast. Get your lazy ass up, and quit acting like a apathetic pig. |
| OMg thank god I just downloaded a week ago~. |
 |
| more bluray for my collection :D loved shiki. one of the best of 2010 |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| FUNimation always dub the anime when they get their hands on it. Also, I heard that the DVD/Blu-ray of Shiki is expecting to come in Spring 2012. I have high hopes for a good dub on this anime and several clips of the english audio upload on YouTube. |

| So when they say that supposedly it'll be available for Spring 2012, what're we lookin' at here? March? April? May? Which month will it be available? |
