Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan.

Terribly excited for Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari, NakaImo, and Akira.

I'd be more excited about Umineko if it weren't Blu-Ray only :| BEATRICE-SAMA, I HAVE FAILED YOU.

caught my attention BUT ONLY as a boxset. That would be worth it.

Hyouka has seriously not been licensed yet? It's such a good series. It's better than so much of this other stuff that is being licensed.

I heard there are plans to bring it in. So in time I hope there shall be one version out.

Hyouka would be family beneficial IMO.

I am SO excited that FUNimation has decided to license Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari. I'll also be able to pick up the Strong World movie. Both of these I was really, REALLY hoping would get licensed, so I can add them to my collection.

On another note, they even have Tenchi Universe as a complete DvD set for sale, which I have also been hoping to get my hands on.

I enjoyed Sankarea enough for a purchase with a decent dub. During the entire series I kept envisioning Rea's father being voiced by Kent Williams using a deeper voice kinda like Father from Brotherhood, that'd be cool:D

Not a day one purchase or anything though. The rest here does nothing for me. I agree with the support for bringing Hyouka over though. I'm behind on it but have enjoyed what I've seen so far...

Funi gets Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari! Finally my Tenchi collection will be complete again!

and Akira... did they pick up the Geneon dub or with they do a 3rd dub for Akira? I still like the Steamline dub better, if only I still had a VHS player to watch it on anymore :P

So I guess I'm the only one who cares about Fujiko?

Strong World is also a good catch, even if it'll take like five years to dub it.
