So, AX08 has come and gone. Now the dust has settled and the lines are drawn… or something like that. Though, what came of this years AX, is the fact that Funimation has become the biggest anime distributor in region 1, with Bandai Entertainment not far off. We had some exciting licenses, Hayate no Gotoku, Alice Gakuen, Spice and Wolf, Wagaya no Oinari-sama, and a lot of other stuff. Also, Gundam 00 will be getting a TV run on Sci-Fi this fall.
Sadly, ADV seems to be limping from the devastation wrought by Sojitz pulling out of their deal. Still, ADV claims to have some new licenses in the works, so they aren’t exactly out of business yet.
Now, we wait to see what Otakon has in store for us.
