Got a stack of early news that may interest people. Let’s start with the least interesting stuff first.
Dragonball Z TV Blu-rays are being worked on (or at least in the higher side of planning stages, I’m not 100% sure on that). Beyond that, I know nothing (minus a hint of maybe a pack in exclusive at Best Buy, but not sure about that).
Last year Matt Greenfield said at a con that Bandai had 5cm per Second, and earlier this week someone put up an acting credit via Bang Zoom.
After talking to a few people, Bang Zoom definately has redubbed it for Bandai, likely for a Blu-ray. Not 100% sure on the Blu-ray front, but from what I’ve been told, that seems to be the plan. Can’t say if the old dub will be on it or not.
Evangelion 1.0. I mentioned this on Aod, but people didn’t seem to notice I wasn’t theorizing, so I’ll mention it here with a few more details. It’s being recorded at Funimation (and was recording before New Years). I don’t know cast details for sure, but I can say the following. The director is one of Funimation’s directors (can’t say who, although Funimation isn’t beyond using multiple directors for a project, don’t know if this one does, but if it isn’t, then it isn’t Greenfield).
and now for the one that most people will probably care about.
Funimation has the FMA Premium Collection OVAs and was dubbing THOSE before 2009 started also. As far as I’m aware and have been told, castwise, everyone should be back. Don’t know about release details for these yet, but I’ll update when/if I get further info.
