Awesome news

Funimation just licensed Summer Wars. It would be nice  if it got a theatrical release, but I'll count my blessings.

IMHO Summer Wars was the best anime of 2009.

2 Well, I hope it's not just in Hawaii and San Diego, like happened with the Haruhi movie.

I for one won't be arguing that assessment.  I haven't been this excited about a release since Nozomi announced they'd be releasing the ARIA series.

Supposedly Manga ent are releaseing a dvd in the UK in septemeber, though no release date yet. There was a couple of screenings in London back in May- I had tickets for one but got my dates mixed up and missed it

5 Manga Ent. have also said that they probably won't be releasing it until whoever has it in the US has produced a dub for it, so chances are it'll turn up over a month or two after Funi's release.

I, coincidently, did make one of the screenings in London back in May (though I'd say that it was about the fifth most entertaining movie I saw that weekend, and the fourth best).

No accounting for tastes.

(By the way, sorry for not posting, but I just don't have anything to say.)

7 Hey, I didn't say I didn't like it, but I rather enjoyed Evangelion 2.0 and Welcome to the Space Show and Professor Layton more (and Chocolate Underground is it's own, very special, kind of amazing). That's in no way a slight against Summer Wars.
