Quote: FUNimation @ Anime Expo (06:54 PM EDT): The FUNimation panel at Anime Expo went off this evening as Adam Sheehan took to the stage with what's going onGood. I was worried I wouldn't be able to ever finish my Rozen Maiden box!
with the company:
# Darker than Black will arrive on 11/25/2008 for the first volume as it's going to be released in singles.
# Adam confirmed that the Geneon follow-up volumes for series that didn't finish will be done in a way that you can
finish out your existing artboxes without problems.
# Negima OVA and "season 2" don't have firm dates but they're looking to get it going this year.
# They restated again that they intend to have Geneon titles into distribution by the end of August and have no exact plans yet for the Sojitz titles that
were released by ADV Films but want to get them out this fall.
# Ouran Host Club was initially delayed due to a wait on the materials but also the acquisition of digital rights for the series.
# Pricing on Geneon titles for singles will be consistent with earlier releases, but they will be lowering prices for the collections to something more in
line with what FUNimation does.
# It was indicated that for the ADV Films titles from Sojitz, they will be working to be consistent with the cover design/artwork for the remaining volumes.
# Kodocha may not be entirely dead in the water as they're trying to figure out a way to get the rest of it out as they don't like to drop series.
There is no coincidence, only necessity....
