Default Funimation licenses Soukou no STRAIN!

As pointed out in the other topic, a new image is up on funimation.com, and it is clearly that of Sarah Werec, Emily and the EX-STRAIN.

Soukou no STRAIN is the story of Sarah Werec, a girl who desires to be a STRAIN Reasoner like her brother, the pilot of the advanced fighting machines known as STRAINs. A surprise attack on the school where she is training leads to a shocking revelation, and a shocking loss, now Sarah has to start all over, without any friends or allies except for a mysterious doll named "Emily" and the memory of a girl she saw that fateful night, in the company of someone close to her heart.

Soukou no STRAIN is very loosely based on the classic novel "A Little Princess"

Press Release and a Trailer

This is my first definite purchase of the recent Funi licenses, and one I actually liked a surprising amount. I just watched it with no expectations either way, and by the end I found I really quite enjoyed it.

And if it comes out in a single set at a low price, then damn man, that's just a bonus. I'm most certainly ordering this one.

I'm a fan of mech anime, but I skipped over this when it aired.

Who knows, maybe I'll want it as it gets closer to release but right now it's a "no buy/maybe" for me.

The one that took place right after the 1908 Summer Olympics, right? From what I recall from reading a book about it, right after the Austro-Hungarian Empire took silver in the mecha synchronized swimming competition...
