OK, Funimation didn’t quite license that much, but they went on yet another licensing spree today, picking up both Tower of Druaga shows, Dragonaut – The Resonance, and Blassreiter from GONZO and Bamboo Blade from D. Rights.
Now, personally, I’m not sure if any of these are actually good licenses except for Bamboo Blade. Part of the reason is just because none of the three GONZO shows exactly lit fires under anyone as far as I could tell, but also because, at least in the case of Blassreiter and Druaga, they were previously released legally with english subs (or in the case of the second Druaga series, still being released). I guess Funimation figures that people already download shows, so it’s no different than that, but we’ll see.
Of course, I’m still waiting on Shakugan no Shana II sooo….
