Live action Ichi movie? That can't be Ichi the killer. That is way to F'd up to be just streamed for free to anybody. *edit* oh nm, it is a film based on the Zatoichi mythos. Hmmm, a female Zatoichi. Will have to check that out.

The North American anime distributor Funimation has announced that it has licensed the Baka and Test — Summon the Beasts (Baka to Test to Shōkanjū) and Dance In The Vampire Bund television anime series from Media Factory. It will simulcast both series with English subtitles — within days of the Japanese broadcast — starting this month, and the first episodes of both series will begin streaming this Friday at 10:00 a.m. CST.

The Baka and Test — Summon the Beasts anime, which adapts Kenji Inoue's fantasy romantic comedy light novels, premiered in Japan on January 6. The story centers around Akihisa Yoshii, the "baka" of the title. His magical academy rigidly divides up the student body into classes based on the results of tests. The prodigies are in the A class with reclining seats complete with air conditioning, but Akihisa is in F class, the lowest rung of the school ladder which is furnished only with low, decrepit tables and worn-out straw tatami mats. Akihisa decides to rally F class to take on the higher-tiered classes and seize their perks. The F class uses its summoning powers in an all-out battle for school supremacy. Funimation's simulcast of the latest Baka and Test — Summon the Beasts episodes will begin on March 10.

The Dance In The Vampire Bund anime adapts Nozomu Tamaki's manga about a vampire princess who wants to create a special district for her kind off the coast of Japan, despite the terrorists and rival factions arrayed against her. Seven Seas Entertainment released the fifth volume of the manga in North America in November. The anime premiered in Japan on January 7, and Funimation's simulcast of the latest episodes will begin on March 12.

Just emerged relatively unscathed from some serious Twitter dorama over this announcement: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-03-05/funimation-addresses-dance-in-the-vampire-bund-edits I'm sure the rest of the Internet will be burning for days, though.

hmmm several good titles. Rosario was...interesting for the first season, but I couldn't get into Capu2 (other then the catchy theme song). Rideback is a strong buy for me if they release it as a box set. Might watch Chaos;Head streamed. Got kind of bored with Regios after a few eps. I have been curious about Sora no O because I hear it has a high level of fan service

I'll have to check out Chaos;HEAD if only because I've got a figure from it. (Yeah, I'm doing it backwards now.) I'm pleased as punch to hear that Rideback got licensed after immensely enjoying the few episodes that Ben showed me. I'm curious about Chrome Shelled Regios if only because of the cool name but I'll have to rely on the rest of you for tidbits about the other titles.

-Looking forward to the release Rideback. I'm all over the DVD for that one.

-I advise against watching Chaos;HEAD, and for what it's worth, I really hated the first episode of Sora no Otoshimono.

-Haven't seen or heard much of anything about Rosario or Regios or GunxSword.
