"At their Anime Central industry panel, FUNimation Entertainment announced the acquisition of Romeo X Juliet, Gonzo's 24-episode sci-fi take on the Shakespeare play. It will be released in two half-season boxes, with the first due out sometime in the spring of 2009. Funimation also confirmed that the release date for Ouran High School Host Club will be revealed during a special event on May 30.

At the same time as the panel was taking place, the Funimation.com website was updated with a splash page for another new license: D.Gray-man, which is also on track for a 2009 release."

Ahhh, I'm in two minds now. On one hand, it would be great to get some fresh blood in the fandom, and maybe this will bring up fanwork activity. On the other hand... God it would suck if all we got were 12-year-old fanbrats who don't have a clue. There's enough badfic in the pit as it is.

But I do echo the sentiment of 'at least it's not VIZ'.
