Funimation licenses Shigurui - Wait, wut?

**Amerowolf** · 05-17-2008

There are some shows that never need to be licensed, basically anything with epic gore that would require any kind of major edits. Shigurui would be one of those things. Funi-funi hasn't said exactly what they have planned for it, but they do have DVD and broadcast rights.

...Where could they possibly broadcast it? Maybe somewhere like IFC, but really...no where else would ever let it on without BIG edits. Nipple eating, incest, rape, disembowelment? That'll never show up on Adult Swim, Sci-Fi, Fuse, or even the action channel.

They're gonna ruin it.

I had a hard ass time guessing what it was. Good stuff, looking forward to the dub. Funimation licensed some other shit too, Kenichi Worlds Strongest Disciple, some generic mecha animu and Gunslinger Girl season 2.

Not as hard as GONZO, I bet.

Well, the fuck do I know, to me all dubs are imminent failure.
