FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
Oh carp, I was right!
Shush you. Right now I'm in DESPAIR and nerdraging because if Funi licenses Reborn it means that Vic Micgnomanomammndsdfadglkj will probably have a role in it and I do not take kindly to him potentially carp up one of the characters in my favourite series. >8[
That is unless they're SMART and outsource to Ocean Group. That I have no problems with. Ocean Group is awesome. Still wants Bandai to do it plz. ;_;
FUNimation hasn't outsourced a project since like 2003. They do their stuff in-house cause it's cheap. And not to put salt over an open wound, but Vic said many times he wanted to be in a Jump series, and that he couldn't because of his location being in Texas since neither FUNimation nor ADV licensed a Jump series durring his career until recently with FUNi picking up Claymore, and D.Gray-man.
But not all hope is lost for you, FUNimation sent the letter on behalf of d-rights, a Japanese license company, not on their own behalf. Doesn't entirely mean they have the license, although they've sent C&D's in the past, and licensed pretty much every single one of them.
It could be worse though, with FUNimation you know it'll be Uncut. If it were taken by Viz you wouldn't even be sure if the show would get a full DVD release since they like to cancel releases for series that aren't Death Note, Naruto, Bleach and InuYasha.
