    Saki is not a Gonzo show. The animation was contracted to them but that is all. The master licensor is very likely Tokyo Medianet.

    Only thing interesting me is a Blu-ray release of FLCL.

    Because a lot of people know what it is already, and therefore has a good fan support?

    Here's something that no one had asked on this thread: What the heck is this Michiko? Honestly, I have no idea what the show's about and why is it so "well-received"? Most time when I hear/read about anime being popular, it's either a show I've seen before/I'm currently watching or it's some series that I never bothered to watch from anywhere. In any case, whatever the show is/was, without a lot of fan support, it's going to stay in The Land of the Rising Sun for a good, long while.

    Well, getting it might be a function of how well-recieved it was in the underground. Everyone might be fighting for Michiko because it'd be a huge plus on any company's balance sheet, and as stacked as FUNi is, it might have taken a good faith gesture (like buying Blacksmith) to help make things happen in their favor. It's a plausible scenario.



    Kodocha all over again, but with even wider effects. Yuck. Well, they are sub-section of a publically traded company, which means they can't indulge losing projects.

    I can understand the move, but I would hope that FUNi would get the internet streaming rights for the second season so it could be legally available with the first season at the same location.

    By honestly, out of all the sports anime series why did FUNi license on of the ones no one had heard about?

    The Bad news is FUNi won't be doing a second season of Big Windup! due to poor sales. And there won't anymore sports-related anime to be licensed.

    Yes, got another one. Our ranks will grow.

    Really though, a show that can make France likeable is remarkable by any standard.

    It's all because of the fans man. Wait until the dub hits the anime cons.
