Honneamise animé updates - 'Freedom' and 'Gunbuster vs. Diebuster' set for BD release

Yeah, one of the things I noticed in both the list of former Geneon titles Funi now has as well as the list of former ADV titiles Funi now has, is that many of the titles listed have already been released in their entirety. Could be that they just wanted to get more out on the shelves for people that missed them, but I'm kinda hioping they are at least considering some of them for an eventual Blu release, should their Blu endevours start working out even better?

well see in the beginning in the year remember people who bought the limited edition of Devil May Cry 4 had that special offer and then Rightstuf.com took that offer since ADV wouldnt do it well at the same time ADV removed series like Air, Kanon, Welcome to the NHK, Shattered Angels, Venus Versus Virus, Devil May Cry, and so on off of their website and then they delayed some of those series well ADV is doing that again. Air finished along with the movie which was good because its a great anime, and Venus Versus Virus ended. Kanon only 1 more volume to go, Welcome to the NHK 2 more to go, Devil May Cry 1 more to go, Shattered Angels 2 more to go so it makes me think should ADV just finish these series off in 1 blow and let Funimation do what they want or want to end up like Geneon where we left off at Hellsing OVA volume 3? I do agree since Funimation loves Blu-ray now they should release Kanon, Air, and so on a complete Blu-ray set day and date with a dvd complete set(of course as thinpacks)

From the article's I've read, ADV actually broke up with one of their licensing partners this time, which is the cause of all of this, and they moved to Funi. From what they say, ADV is working on something like 24 more licenses from another company which 'should keep them afloat'. But according to what I have read, the other titles are definitely no longer theirs, and now belong to Funi? I could be wrong through. but I dont think ADV has the power to just finish them off if they want.

well the ones like the final volume of Kanon, Welcome to the NHK volume 5 (even though its been said that some copies are at Best Buy stores) have been left as and i quote "Fate undetermined" and the business partner they broke up with is that Sojitz
