| Funimation has announced two more licenses today with the acquisition of both Romeo X Juliet, and D.Gray-Man. Romeo X Juliet was announced at its Anime Central industry panel Saturday evening. At the same time as the announcement was made the Funimation.com website was updated with a splash page for its other new license: D.Gray-Man. Also the release date for Ouran High School Host Club will be announced at an event on May 30th, 2008. Source: ANN |

| I'm most excited about the Ouran bit of this news. I've been waiting ages to hear when it'll be released. But yay for the two other series as well. Wow, so many new titles grabbed by Funimation lately. |
 |
| Wow, FUNi is getting a good line up, this is like the 6th license in a row. There's even more due this year like Ghost Hunt that was announced earlier this year. Hopefully at least a few of these turn to profit. btw, I would of guessed Viz to license Gray-Man instead. |

| Damn. Funimation is beasting on anime. |
 |
| Japan must be having some sort of buy one get one free deal or something |
  |
| woah....funimation is like a freakin monster..... but i knew it was a matter of time before d.gray-man got licensed >.< aw gee..... |
 |
| More licenses. I'm happy with Ouran and D. Gray-man. |
     |
| Jeez I really hope Funimation isn't taking to much :P Oh well doesnt matter as long as they do it right |
| Well about time they took responsibility for sending those C&Ds. |
| Can't wait until they release Ouran and Romeo x Juliet. :D |
 |
| I'm thrilled about both of their new licenses, as well as their announcement regarding Ouran. I'm kind of surprised that they got D.gray-man though. That's something I would have expected Viz to get. |
| While these two titles aren't any I'm interested in picking up I'm glad to see that Funimation is putting out a wide and varied amount of shows. In just one week they've covered shoujo, romance, mecha, drama, action, and a whole lot more. A few other things mentioned during their panel yesterday were Romeo x Juliet being released in 2 half season sets. Darker Than Black suffered a long delay due to waiting 8 months for the Japanese to give them any materials. Work just recently began on it. And according to gia who blogged about their announcements, they're releasing their 12-13 episode shows on only one disc. I've been anticipating Ouran news the most so I can't wait to hear what they have to say about it on the 30th. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| I'm excited to see Ouran licensed!!! I've wanted my little cousin to watch it but she can't read subtitles very well, so now she can watch it. ^_^ Hurray! |
  |
| Awesome I'm looking forward to Romeo x Juliet. It's nice to see FUNi is taking on more genres. They used to be the shounen action studio but now they've been taking on greater variety. |

| I was wondering who would grab D.Gray-man but Funi is grabbing a lot in such a short time. |

Redlinks said: I'm sorta angry and sorta not angry about FUNI licensing D.Gray-Man. I knew the time was coming for it to be licensed I just didn't want it to happen so soon. Though I am happy that I can finally watch it legitimately. But yeah, they better have a good plan on releasing the DVD's for D.Gray-Man. Because there's just no way that I'm gonna buy 3 episodes per DVD (and DVD's usually cost about $15 these days) for an over 80 episode series. That'll just cost way too much. FUNi is usually better about that, I've seen they usually will do four-five a DVD. ADV on the other hand well... |

Good thing they didn't get this one. |
| ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Great news! Great job, FUNi. I'm happy with Ouran, D.Gray-Man, and Romeo X Juliet. |
| Yes! I was hoping FUNimation would pick up D. Gray-man. I'm so happy! ~ Nya! ^o^ |
 |
| I've been waiting to hear some Ouran news... But DGM~? Yesh~ Happy that I soon wil be able to legally own the series. *coughcough* |
| Stuff is getting licensed so much faster these last couple years. Last year at AX they were barely through the first few episodes of Romeo x Juliet and now less than 1 year later its already been licensed! This is good me thinks |
 |
| Wow they are seriously thinking about doubling their sales. When Navarre announced their short-term goal of the sales was $100,000,000, I thought they're just kidding. Last year Funimation's share of the anime DVD market in US was 37%. It will exceed 50% this year, I suppose. |
| Funimation better not mess up D. Gray-Man because it was just getting good :( And if they put on cartoonnetwork, I'ma freak because it would turn out like Naruto and Bleach :( |
 |
| i was angry at FUNi with the a billion announcements in one week... >< but only this news i accept. My friend will be Fangirling when she finds out Ouran's release day on the 30th. :3 |
 |
| This is why FUNi is on a license rampage: http://www.icv2.com/articles/home/12043.html. Basically, they're acquiring licenses for titles that Geneon had picked up or planned to pick up. |
|
| Nothing of value gained or Lost. |
| Will the English Dubbed version of D. Gray-Man ever air on Adult Swim? |

Kanda said: I'm glad to hear that Funi grabbed DGM epically since I've been enjoying more of funi's dubs then Viz Media's lately. With that said though I hope Funi takes the time to chose voice actors that won't be too off from their Japanese Counterparts. Ltay said: Funimation better not mess up D. Gray-Man because it was just getting good :( And if they put on cartoonnetwork, I'ma freak because it would turn out like Naruto and Bleach :( What would be wrong with DGM being on Adult Swim? It has all the right qualities to be on par with other animes like Bleach. I like your thinking ^_^. |

| Wow, and I just dropped Romeo x Juliet a few days ago. Great timing! D Gray-Man doesn't effect me either way at the moment, although if I ever get around to reading the manga I might start caring. Ouran release info? Really? Finally? Watch volume one get announced for December. |
| I was wondering when someone D. Gray-man was finally going to be licensed, but I thought that Viz Media had some type of deal with Shonen Jump since they've done just about all their other recent titles. It's good to finally hear about Ouran too, they announced in August or something that they would be doing it and it took them forever to come out with vol. 1. This really makes me wonder how long D. Gray-man will take. |

| so is d.gray man going to be on T.V. in america? |
| by Baka-Chibi |
| Funimation has the broadcast rights to the first 51 episodes of D.Gray-man but there's no word yet on whether it will air on television. |

FUNI better do as good of a job as Geneon did if they're going to pick up licenses that Geneon planned to get. The reason why the link does not work is because there is a "." after html. Take off the dot and it will lead you to the article ^_^. |

| ouran huh... i'm pretty excited, but as for d grey man or romeo x juliet, not a big fan of either, got bored in the first ep of the latter. also i hope they don't screw up ouran with the voice acting. i really do love the series so they better do it justice |
 |
| This makes me sigh bigtime (don't really care for Romeo x Juliet), but D.Gray-man... (—_—) |
 |
| This didn't stop Code Geass. I doubt it will stop D.gray-man from being subbed. |
| I will google D. Gray-Man Adult Swim and see what comes up ^_^. |

| well, i believe some of you heard of this already, not sure if someone mentioned it yet but they say that only first season of d. gray man is licensed, which spans from episodes 1-51. there's a possibility that shinsen might pick it up again. |

Tiamat said: Funi ruins anime. Just, you know, FYI. Oh...and...FUNI + Ouran = ....(._.) *explodez* But anyways. I was kinda doing D. Gray-Man manga scans...this puts a tick on things, doesn't it? =] EDIT: ENGLISH-DUB?! HECK YA. Now I'm happy. Wait, what? They're known for not having the best video quality, but besides that and DBZ how do they "ruin" anything? |
