FUNimation to fans: We WILL do DVDs for Missing Geneon Singles

On the ANN forum in response to the whole FUNi/Sojitz DVD problem, the "Official FUNi Rep" had this to say:
"Hello anime fans,
We do understand your concern regarding the future releases of these two series in which you have already invested so much time and emotion. I won't bore you with the long explanation as to how we came to the decision we did as to how to package these series nor rattle off the many factors that led to that decision.

That being said, we have taken your comments to heart and here's what we are going to do: in addition to the box sets we will ALSO release Red Garden Volumes 4 and 5, Pumpkin Scissors v.5, and NHK v.5. They will be available through The Right Stuf in December -- though street dates have not yet been finalized. Volume 6 for all three of these series will be available at a later date, still to be determined, and will also be available via The Right Stuf.

Best regards -- Official FUNi Rep"

~Voice Actor Of The Month: Caitlin Glass ~ (Another Of My Favorite Voice Actors)

Photobucket
Caitlin Glass (Myspace) Joined The FUNimation Entertainment family through meeting Director/Actor Eric Vale, while touring the Fort Worth studios. After hearing she was an actor, Eric asked her to get in the booth and say "Ugly Creep How About I Mace You" and with that, Caitlin was hired to work with Funimation. Caitlin was then cast in many minor roles of Case Closed and went up the ladder from there. Later Catlin Glass landed the Role of Winry Rockbell in Fullmetal Alchemist , a role she would became most famous for. Soon after that she was appointed Assistant ADR Director in Black Cat and Head ADR Directer for Suzuka, Case Closed, and One Piece(Funimation Dub). A couple years ago Caitlin fell in love with an anime by the name of Ouran High School Host Club . One day She "marched" into Justin Cook's office and told him about Ouran and asked if they would be acquiring the license for it. It wasn't until Otakon07 that she found out Funimation had Licensed it. Caitlin Glass was then appointed ADR Directer of Ouran and landed the role of Haruhi Fujioka. For those who don't know, Catlin Class portrayed Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle's Princess Emeraude, who was previously portrayed by Wendee Lee (Official Site)in Magic Knight Rayearth. CLAMP gave Tsubasa's Princess Emeraude (Tsubasa Pic) (Magic Knight Rayearth Pic) a more older and much more matchure personality than her Magic Knight Rayearth Counterpart, a part that Caitlin Glass portrayed very well. Caitlin Glass Is a Beliver of God,a Follower of Jesus Christ, and a strong and Inspirational Person. She is also leader and Inspiration behind her Fanclub, Wrench Throwers Anonymous. Thank You Caitlin Glass for being the strong and loving person you are. I look forward to the day I get to meet you Caitlin Glass. Stay safe and God Bless.

xxxHolic Forth Collection DVD Review

Photobucket
Ninetails, A Two part episode, and Zashiki Warashi all packed to to the Forth collection of xxxHolic. As far as I can see the only cross over were some berets from Cardcaper Sakura. This Volume is very exciting and action packed. You see more of Watanuki and Domeki together with the traditional Arguing friendship. Todd Haberkorn and J. Michael Tatum portray their role as wonderful as ever. I Suggest picking up this volume as soon as possible for all Clamp, Todd, and J fans. Dont Miss out. xxxHolic Fifth Collection Available Sep. 9, 2008

xxxHOLiC volumes 1-3 (Omnibus Edition) Manga Thoughts

Photobucket

BACKGROUND
I have always loved anime and CLAMP's work in anime. I always told my self i would never read a manga and usually made fun of people who did. over the past year I was so in love with Tsubasa and xxxHolic. I knew of the crossover and the relationship between yuuko and clow reed. I was in the bookstore one day and thought What the heck and went to the manga section. I noiced the xxholic book and picked it up. I opend a couple of pages and I saw it Sakura's wand being held by Watanuki. That was it I fell in Love. now im reading the xxxholic and tsubasa mangas to experence all the crossovers.

What I Think:
The xxxHolic manga is not so different form the anime. I noticed that things happen in different order from the way they happen from the anime. There are also mini minor refences to Clow Reed and tie in w/ the Tsubasa crew. I enjoy this series very much and will try to read them all. The experence see to both sides of a sory line is the best experience a person can get.
