Line 4:
* [[Adaptation Overdosed|Another]] ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' anime, huh? What, are they going with the Neo pl- THE MAGIC WORLD ARC?! ''ANIMATED ETERNAL NEGI FEVER!?''
** Kodansha takes over publishing Negima in America... hello, what's this? Rereleasing the early volumes in an omnibus edition? ''Retranslated?''
* ''[[
* When ''[[Batman]]: Gotham Knight'' was announced, fans were unsure about whether or not a Batman anime was a good idea... until they learned that [[Batman: The Animated Series
* Wow, the ''[[
* ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' had an animation series, and then [[FUNimation]] picks it up for dubbing. We know the disaster of ''Devil Kings'' so I guess they will dub them as Devil
** What? [[Reuben Langdon]] is not reprising his role as Date Masamune for the anime? Boo... Wait a sec, what's this?? [[Stephanie Sheh]] and [[Laura Bailey]] as Kasuga and Oichi!? Oh the bliss of Sheh orgasming! And Bailey is probably the most perfect person to lift up the [[Americans Hate Tingle|American hate]] towards Ichi! This is still going to be great, even without Masamune [[Hey, It's That Voice!|sounding like]] [[Devil May Cry
*** And not only that [[Johnny Yong Bosch|Johnny]] '''[[Memetic Mutation|FUCKING]]''' [[Johnny Yong Bosch|Yong Bosch]] returns as Yukimura Sanada!
* Season two of ''[[
** Not to mention the movie appears to have art close to Season 1, as opposed to the low-quality "[[K-On!|K-Onification]]" of Season 2.
** The dub of season 2 will be released in a boxset. Thanks [[Cristina Valenzuela|Cristina]]!
*** Wait, Bandai didn't just license Season 2, but also the movie?! AND [[Haruhi-chan]] and [[Nyoron Churuya-san]]?! And they're all being dubbed?!! (cue mass applauding)
** As for the Kyon/Yuki shippers, there was much cheering, and [[Squee
** They're gonna release the 1st part of Novel 10 in the next Sneaker magazine? Pfft... * 2 months later* OMG! It's true! There's a 70-page preview! {{spoiler|Ryoko is back!}}
*** Which has now gone out the window as the Baka-Tsuki project has been forced to stop
*** You can still find translations on the internet. I found one of the preview, and it was awesome!
*** According to the BT forums, the Cease and Desist letter only covered the first 9 novels. It's now up to the translators to see whether they want to risk angering the lawyers.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]'' Manga. Akira Himekawa, what have you done to Astrid?! Linebeck?! Or, Link and Tetra, for that matter?! OK, this is, officially, the worst Manga adaption since ''Oracle of''
** Ironically, the very ''same'' plot-twist caused a [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|Fandom Rejoice]] moment for the next installment of the games, [[Spirit Tracks]]. Apparently Nintendo was running out of ideas and took a look at the Manga... except that the Game Spirit Zelda is awesome for [[Animated Armor|completly different reasons]] than the [[Badass|Manga Spirit Zelda]]
* ''[[
* [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] as [[Code Geass|Lelouch]]? Boy, talk about [[
** Bandai's dubbing ''[[Code Geass]]''? Boooooriiiing! Wait, [[
* Another ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** Wait a sec... [[Vic Mignogna]] and [[Travis Willingham]] are back?! The (almost) original cast? Cue fangasm! Oh, the Risembool Rangers and the Miniskirt Army are gonna be all over this!
** They're replacing Roy Mustang's voice actor? Screw that! Wait... they've got ''Miki Shin'ichiro?!''
** Rumors that [[Adult Swim]] had 3 new anime? Eh, it's probably gonna be an attempt to troll us with more [[Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!|Tim & Er--]] Wait, it's confirmed that one of them's the new ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (
*** Bah! They'll just shove it into 2 AM with no
** Olivier said "...passed down the Armstrong line for generations!"?! FOR THE FIRST TIME?!
** Ugh, they're probably just going to be like, "shouldn't have worried, blahblahblah..." Wait, whoa. WHOA. Did Roy just seriously hug Riza?!
** Another corny train leave . . . what the hell are they saying . . . Wait, did Ed just {{spoiler|''propose}}?!''
** Oh God, the anime isn't following the manga! Hey... wait... This is AWESOME.
** A certain faction of the fandom experienced another one with the publication of the third art book {{spoiler|and its [[Word of God]] pronouncement that the Roy/Riza ship is, in fact, canon. Specifically, the author said that the military's anti-fraternization law is the only thing keeping them from getting married}}.
** ''sigh'' They'll dub FMA for German release, huh? Oh well, at least I can assume they wont butcher the script and anyways, I can always turn on the original with sub- HOLY SHIT they cast DAVID NATHAN as Roy?! THE GERMAN VOICE OF JONNY DEPP?!!!
* The English dub of ''[[Hellsing Ultimate]]'' got this when it was announced that pretty much all of the English cast for the TV series, including [[
** And in November 2011, Funimation announced they will finally dub episodes 5-8 with the same cast and crew as before. Much rejoicing indeed.
*** Plus, "''When You Start the War, Fight With Arrows, Spears and Swords!''" was one of the most popular songs from Hellsing TV. When we heard it as the ending theme to Hellsing Ultimate episode 8, we were so happy.
* The new seasons of ''[[Slayers]]'' are being dubbed by [[FUNimation]]? Oh, great, they'll probably just end up getting ADV's cast from the movies and-WHAT? They're bringing back the voice actors from the first three TV series?! OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!
** [[The Other Darrin|Aw, but they replaced David Moo]]. His great Xellos performance easily made up for that [[Narm Charm|laughably awful]] [[One Piece
* The ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' fandom has a bad habit of declaring the franchise [[Ruined FOREVER]] upon the announcement of every new season. Usually, it takes a few weeks of the season actually being on the air for things to settle down. When ''[[Heartcatch Pretty Cure]]'' was announced, everything began as normal. Then [[Nana Mizuki]], best known for her roles as either adorable love interests, [[Dark Magical Girl
* When the Book Adaptation of ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' came out, reactions ranged from "HOLY CRAP THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING WITH THE FRANCHISE" to "[[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]" to "Why the hell did Capcom wait ''seven friggin' YEARS'' to license this?" (Did we mention the entire ''franchise'' had been in [[Development Hell]] for approximately four years?) This was, of note, until they SAW some later scenes in the aforementioned
* Subverted in the case of the ''[[Eden of the East]]'' dub. Apparently, Oasis' label ''did'' permit Funimation to get the rights of the anime's OP, "Falling Down"...but only for the first episode.
* Man, ''[[Initial D]]'' will probably never get a proper adaptation...wait, Funimation got it? AND they're giving it a proper dub with the Eurobeat?
* The fact that [[FUNimation]] is dubbing ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' could be considered one of these moments, though many fans were wary of the fact that it utilizes [[Woolseyism]]...then we realized that [[Christopher Sabat]] is voicing Giroro.
** Well, to be fair, the Woolseyism was exactly what the Sgt Frog anime needed, in order to offset how watered and toned down the anime production was from the original manga. To say nothing of how the implimentation of it was almost sheer genuis in everything from episode titles to obscure references that even the nerdiest nerds of nerdom wouldn't have even expected.
** Oh and of course, the "Test Episode". WHAT IS THIS?? NATSUMI RENAMED TO NATALIE?? THE FROGS NAMES CHANGED TO BE ONE LESS SYLLABLE? PLANET WUSSIAN?! MISTER FURBOTTOM?!? WHAT ARE THEY DOING, IT'S RUINED FOREVER!! Oh wait! They listened to the fans's feedback and the real series will have no transliterated name changes after all?? Hooray for [[FUNimation]]!!!!
* Funimation licensing ''[[
** For manga readers, the news that Viz would be releasing five volumes per month starting in 2010, bringing the English edition up to speed with the Japanese one.
* [[Brad Swaile]] as [[Death Note
* Ah, [[FUNimation]] is dubbing [[
** There was also a small bout of panic when it was announced that the [[Memetic Mutation|Ending Theme]] was going to be changed. [[Ear Worm|And then the preview]] [[Crowning Music of Awesome|for Hatafutte Parade was released...]]
** Some against type casting (mainly [[Vic Mignogna]] as Greece) was offset by some really great choices for [[Monica Rial|Belarus]], [[Christopher Sabat|Rome]], [[Brina Palencia|Chibitalia]], and [[Maxey Whitehead|Sealand]]. And then came [[Jerry Jewell|some of]] [[J Michael Tatum|the]] [[Eric Vale|main]] [[Todd Haberkorn|characters]], sending the squees to a fever pitch.
Line 60:
* The [[FUNimation]] dub for ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' had Freeza recast and voiced by a ''male'' voice actor (Christopher Ayres) whose performance will supposedly be very faithful to the Japanese version. It's what the fandom's been waiting for ever since the ''Kai'' dub was announced.
** The creation of the "dub with Japanese music" track for the ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' season sets. The issues with "remastering" and the cropped aspect ratio harmed this somewhat.
*** Later when the ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'' season sets were announced... Correct aspect ratio, less problematic remastering, removal of the [[Theme Tune Rap]] and replacing it with an English version of ''Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku'' sung by [[Vic Mignogna]]. Also, the ''[[
*** And of course, the fact that Funimation are now releasing the ''Dragon Boxes'' for Z. The ultimate remastered version done for the Japanese home release. And at a ''[[Crack is Cheaper|much]]'' [[Crack is Cheaper|cheaper price than they were in Japan]].
** And now [[Dameon Clarke]] is set to reprise his role as Cell in ''Kai''.
Line 67:
* ''[[Black Butler]]'' is getting a second season, with Sebastian and Ciel gone for good? None of the cast returning? Oh WTF come on how-...Then came the day when episode one of ''Black Butler II'' premiered. Let's just say the advertising team trolled the entire fandom.
** The [[Relationship Voice Actor]] teamup for the [[J Michael Tatum|dub]] [[Brina Palencia|leads]] caused a major squeefest.
* Aniplex is distributing ''[[Durarara!!]]'' in America. Dammit, they're probably not even going to bother with a dub and... Huh? They ''are'' giving it a dub? Well, they'll probably outsource it to Singapore and give everyone crappy voices and... Wait a sec - [[
** Let's not forget [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] as [[Psychopathic Manchild|Izaya]], [[Yuri Lowenthal]] as [[Mad Scientist|Shinra]], [[Patrick Seitz]] as Simon, and [[Steve Blum]] as <s>[[My Name Is Not Durwood|Dotachin]]</s> [[Straight Man|Kadota]]!!
** ''[[Durarara!!]]'' is going to be on Adult Swim in June!
* Goddamn [[FUNimation]] pandering to lolicons and perverts by licensing the second season of ''[[Strike Witches]]'' and ''[[
* It is now confirmed that ''[[Berserk]]'' will soon be issued in a whole new anime, [https://web.archive.org/web/20101001210341/http://en.nicoviewer.info/sm12264010 now with a short to prove it indeed]. Fangasm ahoy!!
** Bah, it for sure they will do the same thing they do with the orig- wait a minute, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL4aTvcNqKo that's the Skull Knight?] [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|OH.]] [[Big Yes|MY.]] [[Punctuated!
* Hm... [[Revolutionary Girl Utena]] is getting rema-oh [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|PLATNIUM]] (almost)! Oh, but we'll never see it in America, Central Park Me-Nozomi picked it up [[Squee|OH GOD AND THEY ARE ASKING ADVICE FROM FANDOM]]!
* They brought back ''[[Pokémon (
** And then later they brought it back to ''the Japanese version!''
** Cool! Another season of Pokémon, I wonder how it'll compare to D/P - they have a female sidesick who isn't [[Ms. Fanservice]]? They're cutting [[The Artifact|Brock]] from the main cast?! ''They're cutting down the filler?!''
** There was also some fan-squeeing when the Team Rocket trio slipped back into their original motto for one episode in D/P.
** Team Rocket is getting a promotion. Likely going to goof it up somehow... wait a second. Are they actually being competent? Taking their job seriously? No silly little fantasies about the boss? They have not been sent blasting off again ever since this new series started?! Holy shit, this is the most incredible [[Took a Level
** Holy crap, Ash just [[Let's Get Dangerous|turned his hat backwards]].
* Ugh, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Ze Xal]]''? What a rip; it's too kiddy, the Exceeds are [[Game Breaker
* The ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' manga is being re-released in Japan, Italy, ''and'' America?
* ''[[Loveless]]'' being re-released as a dub? [http://www.animenewsnetwork.

** More [[Squee]] for the fact that the original seiyuus of the core 4, [[Daisuke Namikawa]] (protagonist), [[Showtaro Morikubo]] (Yosuke), [[Yui Horie]] (Chie) and [[Ami Koshimizu]] (Yukiko) are returning. Now all we hope is that [[Tomokazu Seki|the]] [[Rie Kugimiya|rest]] [[Kappei Yamaguchi|of the]] [[Romi Paku|crews]] return as well!
*** We've got [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWgTjqZcCuM confirmation] on [[Tomokazu Seki]] and [[Kappei Yamaguchi]]! We're also getting [[Akemi Kanda|Nanako]], [[Unsho Ishizuka|Dojima]], and [[Mitsuaki Madono|Adachi]]!

** After Disney bought the company that dubs ''Digimon'', the very first thing announced was that they'd go dub every movie that had been made up to that point (starting with ''[[Digimon Adventure 02

** Adding to Higurashi Kira, the latest preview for episode 3 features Mion x Keiichi. At least half the fandom (excluding Keiichi x Rena fans) squeed here.

* Wait, ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' is finally going to be re-released in America?! '''YES!''' No more expensive imports from Singapore! Going beyond the first seven volumes?! The GSC arc is finally going to be released in America?! '''YES AGAIN!'''
** Although now there are quite a number of fans who don't like how Viz is running things when it comes to ''[[Pokémon Special]]''. Running the fourth gen arcs aside of the second gen to catch up with the Japanese release? A few possible spoilers aside, yay! The not-yet-collected-in-volume-form fifth gen arc is being released as well? Um, okay, even if the previous point also applies here and that a lot of details that get changed from the magazine to the volumes...''What?!'' You have no plans to release the third gen arcs, whose loss will inevitably cause massive plot holes in the arcs you have already published? '''BOO VIZ,''' '''[[Ruined
