FUNimation Entertainment Announces New Acquisitions at Anime Boston

Flower Mound, TX – April 7, 2012 - FUNimation Entertainment announced today at Anime Boston it has acquired the rights to 3 series : Jormungand, Lupin III~Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna~ and Is this A Zombie? of the Dead.

A brief synopsis for each series is listed below:

Jormungand - A ruthless arms dealer on a quixotic quest for world peace. A child soldier born into chaotic conflict. Their lives will intertwine as they journey together through the seedy underbelly of the world's arms market. An intense action-packed series that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat! FUNimation has acquired both parts of the series. The first part will air April 2012, and the second part will air October 2012.

Lupin III ~Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna~- What happened when Lupin III met Fujiko Mine for the first time? Find out in the first new chapter of the Lupin III franchise in 25 years!

Is This A Zombie? of The Dead – Aikawa Ayumu was revived as a zombie by the cute necromancer Eucliwood Hellscythe. After the zany, madcap adventures in the first season of Is This a Zombie? ended, Ayumu thought his life might finally get back to normal, or as normal as it can be for a zombie. However, destiny has other plans for him. Some guys just can't catch a break. Watch the second season of this hilarious comedy where anything goes!

Full episodes will begin on www.niconico.com/anime & www.funimation.com during spring 2012.

So they are going back to Lupin, this time a more recent series, it will probably work better for them. (I mean as a home video release)

Nice to see full rights for this. I assume I'll be getting this.

I'm still undecided on Lupin/Fujiko. I might import the BD box. I might just get Funi's BD version. I won't double-dip.

I liked this way more than I expected too, never being a fan of the old stuff. And visually quite stunning at times. Will definitely jump on this.

For the people who finished this, is it still a good series to watch even if I the only thing I watched related to Lupin was Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro?

The Castle of Cagliostro is completely different to Fujiko. While Cagliostro was kinda family friendly, Fujiko is a raunchy series. It's mostly focused on Fujiko and kinda artfully sexing her up, to the point where some of the Lupin cast acts out of character when compared to every other Lupin property.

In my opinion this series is a waste of time. It just felt like "how could we sex up Fujiko this week" and it got a little ridiculous later on in the series, especially in it's attempt to be messed up and dark. I couldn't really take it seriously.

I suggest you check it out on streaming first. Maybe an episode or two.

This pretty much confirms for a US BD release and a better time frame of when FUNimation could release theirs...
