Enraged otaku took the virtual streets this past weekend with pitchforks firmly in hand when it was discovered that anime distributer, FUNimation, had chosen to censor one of its newest releases for content that it deems too controversial. In a statement sent to Anime News Network, FUNimation had this to say about the matter:

Woah! Talk about something that totally makes my day. When I saw the announcement on my Facebook page and on the official FUNimation blog, my heart nearly exploded. Seriously, words fail to express how much I LOVE the Dance in the Vampire Bund manga. In the past, I’ve given the first two volumes of the manga glowing reviews. When I discovered that it was going to be turned into an anime a few months ago, I figured that it would NEVER see the light of day over here. Especially, when I read some of the articles on Sankaku Complex (complete with screen caps) the anime was continuing the manga’s long running endorsement of nude loli vampires and other rather taboo subject matters.

Okay, maybe I’m a bit harsh. I must admit that I’ve known for a while about Funimation acquiring the rights to the Trigun TV series. Since mid-February to be exact. I saw a post about it on ICv2. No, I’m not bitter or anything about not being able to get on their press release list or anything. I mean, Lord knows that I haven’t got anything better to do with my time then stalk their blog on a daily basis just so I can stay abreast on whatever is going on with them. Not like an email would be nice or anything…

Oh wait, I remembered I did get an email. It showed up in my mail box this past weekend as part of their monthly newsletter. My bad. Hold on while I put my petty bitterness aside…

Okay, the long of the short of it is that Funimation has acquired the rights to the Trigun anime series. Hurray! Additionally, it will be receiving a DVD re-release as well as a Blu-ray release. Hurray, again. All info concerning pricing, packaging and release dates are still not available. Boo.

Okay, that’s all I have to say on this. To be honest, all of this was just a clever ruse for me to be able to run a rocking Trigun AMV today, so nyah

As usual, I came across this video while hunting for a completely different song and video combination. Still, the editing is pretty good and I’m a shameless Powerpuff Girls fan. Yeah, I know. You think I’m totally lame, but I don’t care. Judge me all you want and I’ll just keep on loving both the original Cartoon Network version of PPG and the loli-tastic Japanese version too! Oh, and Tenacious D is also occasionally awesome as well XD

I originally had some rocking hardcore metal scheduled for today, but then I remembered that Valentine’s Day is this weekend. Luckilyfor me, I stumbled across this wonderful Touhou Project PV while trying to find a suitable replacement. I’ve absolutely fallen in love with this song and, in my mind, it’s the perfect fit for a holiday that can be just as much about simply being there for the people who are important to you as it js about romance .

Of course the downside of all this is that I spent the rest of the day watching Touhou Project videos on YouTube and I’m now officially addicted. I’m maybe a few years behind the curve on this one, but what the hell, it’s never to late to become a fan of something awesome. Don’t be surprised if some other Touhou Project videos wind up on here in the coming months =^_-=
