Surprised?
FUNIMATION ENTERTAINMENT ACQUIRES
FLCL
FROM PRODUCTION I.G.
Flower Mound, Texas (January 6, 2010) – FUNimation® Entertainment today announced that it has acquired home entertainment and digital rights to the six OVA sci-fi comedy anime series “FLCL” from Production I.G.
“FLCL” is the hugely popular OVA series from powerhouse partners Production I.G. (“The Ghosts in the Shell,” “Tsubasa”), Gainax (“Evangelion” series), and Starchild (“The Slayers” movies). It is directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki.
ABOUT FLCL
Bored with his mundane middle school life, Naota longed for a change from his daily grind. However his life completely changes after a pink haired stranger on a Vespa runs him over. Weird things happen when he is around the mysterious girl known as Haruko. Now not only must Naota deal with regular teenage troubles, but also with this new enigmatic woman.
FUNimation Entertainment will release all six OVA’S on one DVD set and on Blu-ray disc in late 2010.

Yes that’s right folks, FLCL on Blu-ray. And it won’t be like $500. Discuss.

FUNIMATION HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE 4TH ANNOUNCEMENT?

If Funimation doesnt license Toradora I give up. Its like on every single comment page.
Anyway the manga artist for FLCL designed the end sequence for Bakemonogatari so I think I will check this OVA series out.
Hope to see atleast a new license from funny, maybe they bought a popular title hence the low amount of new acquisitions.

It’s probably because they spent too much money licensing linebarrel, 
mudduck454 on January 7th, 2010 at 12:03 pm says:
now there is a show that deserves to be licensed and on blu-ray, Bakemonogatari, I admit it.. I watched fansub versions of it, and found it to be one of the best shows of the season. if they would have put subtitles on the japanese blu-ray release, I might have bought it…

I saw a teaser pic at the NYAF Funi panel back in October so I wasn’t surprised that it’s going to happen. I actually have the original DVD set so I’m itching to get a BD version of this.

Yay!
I’m so excited! In fact I was just looking for this to buy it but found out they no longer produce it.
They’re not going to re-dub it are they? I like the current dub as it is.

So, does this mean that you are not bringing it out on DVD? If not, phoowee!
