		<description>Forgive me for commenting on this so late after it happened, but may I ask what the heck your intentions are for Sengoku BASARA? This announcement was made ages ago, and even when it was new, you don&#039;t seem to be taking it seriously, considering the announcement was just given as a quick afterthought in this post. Anime Expo 2009 was eight months ago now, and you still don&#039;t even have a website for Sengoku BASARA, let alone a cast list or release date. 

Even if no one on FUNimation staff really likes this title, you still shouldn&#039;t be giving it and its fans such lousy treatment. I for one adore Sengoku BASARA, and I know I&#039;m far from the only one. If you&#039;re going to license an anime title, then you need to give it and its fans the treatment they deserve. This certainly is not what Sengoku BASARA deserves, and it&#039;s making me question my stance as a loyal supporter of the industry. Why should I give my money to a company that treats one of my favorite series as an insignificant title? Especially when the other &quot;important&quot; announcements were a rerelease, a dub cast, and a social media site (I have no gripe with Sands of Destruction getting treated well, since it has just as much merit as a series as Sengoku BASARA does).

In short, this, along with some other decisions FUNimation has made, are making me question whether you really care what the fans want, and whether I should be supporting you with my money.</description>

		<description>Electronic memory  is something that I seem to be unable to &lt;i&gt;ever&lt;/i&gt; have enough of. It feels like megabytes and gigabytes have become an inseparable part of my day to day existence. Ever since I bought a Micro SD Card for my Nintendo DS flash card, I&#039;ve been on permanent watch like a prison guard for large memory at low prices. I feel like I&#039;m going &lt;i&gt;insane&lt;/i&gt;.(Submitted from BPost for R4i Nintendo DS.)</description>

While i do like Capcom more than the other video game publishers i agree on Fighting Jam being awful and that they&#039;ve made a lot of mistakes (two of them being the 3D flop that was Mega Man X7 and not adding certain characters in Street Fighter IV although that didn&#039;t stop the game from being good in my opinion).

@Rojas

That&#039;s fine with me if the results have to be kept quiet but i&#039;m still not keeping my hopes up on Sailor Moon especially with the circumstances behind it. I&#039;ll save my mark out moment for when/if there is a rescue announcement in the future.</description>

		<description>@ Rojas:

Getting this out of the way, I commend you for your efforts.  My thanks, as well as everyone else&#039;s, goes out to you and the good people over there at &quot;dat so-called Texas Hierarchy.&quot; :P 8) 

Secondly; I&#039;ve just gotten and watched the second part of the D.Gray-Man DVD boxset and [spoiler]despite the overload of emo and Japanese-standard female overpowering[/spoiler]I&#039;m still liking this series.

Now to get this off of my effigially stab-marked back:  The good news is that we&#039;ll get Valkyria, Regios, that black butler, seven ghosts, and Pandora Hearts in the upcoming future.

The bad news is that we&#039;ll get a suicidal teacher, Rie Kugumiya&#039;s character beating down someone twice her size, Rie Kugumiya&#039;s character beating down a feminine butler twice her size, and KyotoAnimu&#039;s pandering to the useless in the upcoming future.

Nope.  No worries from here. :mrgreen:  (Actually, I AM worried.)</description>

		<description>Ok - So for the record, we are constantly researching ALL titles to be licensed, including Sailor Moon.  How likely any of these shows might actually be licensed is totally up in the air.  Acquiring a show is an extremely complicated process involving tons of negotiation with the original Japanese licensor or licensors (yes, some shows are owned by multiple parties making it even harder). 

The survey was not a joke - it was a way to collect valuable data from the fans.  Every show on there has at least some possibility of being licensed. Unfortunately, we cannot disclose the results to the public since that would defeat the purpose of us conducting research for internal use - just like any good consumer survey.  

I hope this clears things up. :D</description>

		<description>@ dragon0:

Koihime is an h-anime series that was in two parts and continued in another two parts.  It featured a guy who went to visit 4 female childhood friends at some country village.  The story continued with said guy being lured in by the girl of an exiled clan.

The h-anime was based on some h-filled dating simulator.

Koihime Musou is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT h-filled dating simulator.  It was, as I said before, a feminized and lesbianized version of the Chinese &quot;Romance of the Three Kingdoms&quot; story.  And it featured a guy who, thanks to some mirror, ended up travelling back in time into a &quot;hot chick w/ upskirt benifits&quot; version of China&#039;s feudal era.

The anime based on this had been un-h-ed, the man was excluded, and it emphasized the Japanese anime industry&#039;s hatred of young men despite tons of fanservice.

Maybe if it stayed with its roots, Koihime Musou would&#039;ve been EPIC.  Maybe even owned some AWESOMAGE orz here and there.  But, unfortunately, it&#039;s now worthless except for the obvious fanservice. :roll:</description>

KUA!!!  How do you know about that! I never said that here?? Anyway Yes Capcom leave ever Nintendo Fanboy in Despair Tatsunoko VS Capcom look like win but later on down the line Capcom will do what they always do and that is kick ever Nintendo fan in the Ballz this time I am ready for it but it hurts me still. Until Capcom respects the Nintendo fan the ****in fans that made them popular then I will always hate them, but I am sad to say I have a major weakness for some of there games. Resident Evil why because the remade every Resident Evil game on the Cube then gave us Resident Evil 4 then made Resident Evil 4 Wii edition then lied to the Nintendo Fanbase and said if we buy Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles Resident Evil 5 will be Available on the Wii Umbrella Chronicles sold over 2 Million within the first 2 months and Resident Evil 4 sold over 3 Million and what do we get? Resident Evil Dark Side Chronicles another spin off rail shooter (Which looks epic but I have said I have a weakness for Resident Evil) And even they ripped us off with Resident Evil 4, a month before the Cube release the announced a PS2 release the Graphics on PS2 took a big hit but they added like 3 game modes and and more weapons WTF was that? That **** wasn&#039;t cool at all. Then on Wii the Nintendo Fan get the PS2 Version with Wii controls and Graphic on Par with Gamecube, eto.. Wii have 3 times more power than the Cube so why did they make a big deal about the game have Gamecube graphic when this is the New (Now old) Generation of consoles? Capcom does this to Nintendo fan all the time but it never goes opposite. Street Fighter IV not on Wii but we get The Anime Characters VS Capcom and later 2010 the Anime Characters will be on another console with like 10 extra characters. Capcom Fails harder than ADV and Bandai put together wait.... No one can fail harder than ADV. 

@Tyrenol@

What?
Koihime Musou is epic. Season 2 = October

I had a dream that ADV License Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and the said they were gonna release it Sub only 1 episode at a time for $10 an Episode. I actually Cried :cry: Ha ha. then i ended up in Walmart somehow 8O</description>
