Let's face it anime is not what it used to be and most people that I talk to see it as an passing fad In the states. It had it's chance but failed and all is left is a view companies to anime and that's about it. It MIGHT cause a stir on the FAUK NEWS channel but that wouldn't be surprising if it did. I can't think of any anime that has caused any controversy in the past 10 years for that matter but oh well. wow just so much hate not like care anyways i will buy the dvd's though the mail in 2010 when they do come out.

Funimation is an odd choice for SW, I would have expected ADV to nab this if they still licensed anime. It is perfect for them. I for one am glad it is being domesticated, and would be interested in hearing who will be casted. And I would hope that the VAs fake accent some of the characters. This greatly depends on the who is being casted, and which funi team is doing the dubbing. Though I doubt it will happen, I would like to hear Sandy Fox or Carrie Savage take lead role. I don't know if Sandy likes these types of anime though, she's listed "uncredited" in Rumble Roses as Aigle/Great Khan. for some reason... >_> Funi did end up distributing many of the Anime that ADV and Geneon had dumped (due to financial trouble). So Elfen Lied is under Funi's name now, and it even aired on their AnimeNetwork. So as you can see they have no issue with censoring. And why the issue with Funi censoring, when it was Japan networks that did the censoring with SW? Hell even Magical Lyrical Nanoha is here. And Funi thus far - has dubbed and released the Negima!? OVAs. I don't get anime fans these days, acting too damn spoiled these days. /RANT Out of a lot of the comments, I felt "MARl0" made the most sense.

Funimation has yet to see the uncut materials. i've pointed them in the direction of Sankaku Complex to check out relevant screen caps. 2. They are aware of the current murkiness in regards to the legal status of drawn loli in the US, and specifically aware of the Virginia vs. Whorley case. 3. They will be recieving both the TV and DVD versions of the materials, in part because they may still run strike witches on linear/on-demand/online streaming platforms, just like they did with Witchblade. 4. When it comes to the domestic DVD release, after assessing the uncut DVD version, they will either release that version or the TV version to DVD - they will not mix and match. 5. Funimation doesn't have to sell many copies of the series as it was apparently a very inexpensive license. a few notes:

Fuck the 'answerman'. He very seldom knows wtf he's talking about. Jason (7S pres) wanted to release it, but some people started stirring up shit, which caused local distributors (read bookstores) to cancel their orders for the series. It also didn't help that the Jap licensor made them call the damned thing 'Nymphette' which evidently doesn't have a bad connotation in Japan as it does in Amerikka. They were pretty much forced to shelve it b/c they were gonna lose shitloads of money off of it. Meh, This is why I buy shit straight from Japan... Sigh....
