Feels like I've been waiting for SW2 for an eternity, at least it doesn't seem THAT much further off now...

[Zeether]

Isn't there an OVA or a couple of extra episodes for Index/Railgun? If the contracts are taking that long I'm assuming they're also trying to get those...

Index-tan 1 & 2, Railgun EX OVA and three Railgun specials.

Howdy all!

I was curious about Sekirei-Pure Engagement.
Funimation has confirmed they do have season 2 but no info on release.
Season 1 did great so it was a no brainer they have it.
Any info is good.
Thanks!

[EyeOfPain]

FUNi has plenty of other titles already in the pipeline. Seems too soon to me, but they might announce it next month.

I surely do wish they could sort out whatever the problem is here. I want every single one of the titles under this heading/category.

Me too! I recently tracked down all of Tenchi Universe, Tokyo and the movies. All I need is the original Muyo release, but its so hard to find for a good price! (I also need GXP and RyoOhki 3 though to be fair). Such an influential and fan favorite series needs to be in print.

The Rosario+Vampire delay is hugely disappointing as they built it up. Equally disappointing is Chaos;Head as I quite enjoyed this anime, besides the ending.
