Also announced were additional home video rights to Mirai Nikki (The Future Diary). FUNimation will stream the episodes on their website and Niconico during the Spring 2012 season. Further release details for the series have not yet been announced. Sentai Filmworks announced its acquisitions of the streaming and home video rights to the two TV series Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope) and Nazo no Kanojo X (Mysterious Girlfriend X). Both series will be streamed on The Anime Network and on Hulu 31 days after they stream on Crunchyroll. Sentai Filmworks also confirmed that their dubbed release of Persona 4 The Animation will use the English dub cast from the original Persona 4 PlayStation 2 game. Sentai Filmworks will release the anime on DVD and Blu-ray later this year. Source: FUNimation Press release, ANN |

| Oh yeah Persona 4!! |
 |
| Not sure if I like Funimation grabbing the new Lupin III series. Could make grabbing the episodes a pain unless you actually do stream(Which I never do). Seems like they do this to some new shows airing in the season, but we never see an actual DVD release of these acquired titles, so these shows are stuck in some sort of bizarre limbo. Well, whateves. Nice to see P4 getting a legit release with a dub. Not liking how a lot of these releases are sub only over the last year or two. The advantage(to me) of purchasing an anime is having the options of a dubxsub feature. |
 |
| lmao Funimation's already licensing both seasons of Jormungand before the first episode airs |
 |
| Nazo no Kanojo X? Really, Sentai? -_-' |

XD lol oh please, we all know funi is the only game in town. just about everyone else is bankrupt or is on the verge of being bankrupt. when fun goes, so is everything else. |
| I saw this coming, the funimation licenses that is. |
 |
| An English dub of P4 with the original voice actors from the game?! Oh boy, that alone makes the series worth re-watching. |
| Sentai has been reading my mind lately, they're constantly grabbing stuff I would never expect to get licensed. |
 |
| FUNi needs to suck a fat one Stop dubbing good anime plz |
 |
| Can't wait to see Persona 4. :3 |
| also heard that No.6 is gonna be subbed. |
 |
| Yay Mirai Nikki. Also not everything Funi streams gets a DVD release from them. Take House of Five Leaves for example they simulcasted it, but NIS got the home video rights in the end. I guess the streaming numbers were not good enough for a dub which is why Funi didn't get anymore additional rights for that particular show. I guess Rainbow will be in the same boat its been almost three years and still no conformation wither they will get home video rights or not. mc said: also heard that No.6 is gonna be subbed. I think they said they will release it this year along with the loli basketball series and Kamisama no Memochou. I looked at the original MAL thread for No.6 and it did not say anything about wither the series would be subbed or dubbed. I guess it depends on how well the stream did. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| The only thing I really care about at this moment is the fact that the Persona 4 anime will indeed get a proper English release. I'm more or less on the fence with regards to everything else. |
 |
| I'm really happy that Mirai Nikki got a dub. I love dubs. Can't wait. |

"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Can't wait to see Mirai Nikki dub, curious to who the actors will be. Also can't wait to watch P4A dubbed. |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
| 2 words, Laura Bailey. Fuck yes. Can't wait for P4A dub :) |
 |
| Heard about the P4 thing from tumblr. I'm sooo happy ;A; |
 |
| I love dubs, screw what stupid weeaboos say.I am looking forward to a english dub of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead |
| >thread about Funi slowly degrading into subs vs dubs wank Sounds about right. |
 |
| damn funimation good some good anime |

mc said: also heard that No.6 is gonna be subbed. I was at the Sentai panel. No. 6 is getting a bluray, so it will be dubbed. Also they will include the Japanese commentary for every episode. |

Thats great news and its nice to know its not getting a bare bones release with just clean OPs/EDs and trailers which are clean OPs themselves. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Nice to know that P4 will retain the proper voice cast. Now please. PLEASE. DO NOT RAPE THE SCRIPT. DO NOT MAKE THIS AS BAD AS HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD. ;_; |
 |
| Very bad and just making the animes they license worse than they really are. |
 |
| "Sentai Filmworks also confirmed that their dubbed release of Persona 4 The Animation will use the English dub cast from the original Persona 4 PlayStation 2 game. Sentai Filmworks will release the anime on DVD and Blu-ray later this year. " Yeeeea, here's the problem with that: Johnny Yong Bosch voices both Adachi and Broswagonist in the game... Sooooo... And Chie's and Nanako's voice makes me want to throw up all over myself... Why dub it? The Japanese version was great as is... (I like Brosuke's Eng. voice better than his Jap. voice, though...) |
| I think the P4 dub is superior, seriously. Kanji, Rise, Yosuke, Dojima, Adachi, and Yukiko all sound better in English, in my opinion. Again, personally, I like dubs. There are good dubs, and there are bad dubs. (To be honest, most, if not all, of Sentai's dubs are god-awful.) FUNimation's dubs are generally of very high quality. I mean, have any of you ever watched Baccano! or Fullmetal Alchemist in English? That's some stellar voice work and writing, really. |

icantfeelmyarms said: Why dub it? The Japanese version was great as is... (I like Brosuke's Eng. voice better than his Jap. voice, though...) Because the more options we have, the better. And it will definitely have the Japanese version, no one is going to force you to watch the English dub. Kids on the Slope looks to be like a pretty amazing anime, so good for Sentai on getting it. |
| I am impressed sentai is getting the original cast from the persona 4 game to do the dub. |

MajorMalone said: But on the other side English dub anime sucks ass. You can always watch it with subtitles and leave it at that, instead of being obnoxious. Seriously, how was that relevant to anything in this thread? Whateves. I just watched the first episode of Nazo no Kanojo X the other day, so that'd be great to own that on bluray. |
|
| Cool. Funi needs to release Kore wa desu ka? Season 1 already. Also looking forward to Mirai Nikki (Future Diary). |
