Funimation has Akagami and Gansta, so I guess that's good enough for me. As long as I can use the Hulu player....

Cr had (still has in fact) the first season on Crowds, hopefully they'll get the second as well.

If you must blink, do it now.
Glad three of the five shows I was interested in are getting picked up, though I kinda wish it wasn't Funimation. Their streaming service is routinely awful for me.

It's kind of surprising DBS isn't doing a simulcast dub or something, they should really make use of the worldwide popularity.

nobody has announced streaming for the show yet. on top of that, doesn't funi usually announce their dubs a little way into the season?

Honestly I'm surprised AnimeLab didn't pick it up. They're pretty unsubtle about getting fanservice shows as well as actual good ones.

It just seems like the kind of thing you'd do with a show that popular outside of Japan.

i'm 99% sure it'll happen, but it does kinda hurt things that we don't even have an air date for DBS (i've seen July 5 mentioned but only once).

I think I can guess what the weight in parentheses is, given the creators. Bravo, Japan.

CR often announce pretty late so I wouldn't read too much into a lack of announcement. Though, they probably won't get Prison School if Funimation has it.

Looks like CG only so meh. I wonder if that's what the new Yoshiaki Kawajiri project is.

The novels are one of my guilty pleasures. I have all of them that have been translated so far (they are uniformly terrible).

It really doesn't matter how awful that turns out to be, I will watch every second.

While both series have vampires, I can safely say that they both have vastly different tones and atmospheres (mostly due to the settings and the attitudes of the main characters and... well everything honestly). So it's not really fair to Vampire Hunter D to call it that.

Three new characters have been revealed for Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid

Yuna Yoshino as Akira Hiiragi
"Escape from this island…for our future…"
The governor of the guards controlling all the superpowered people on the artifical quarantine island Mermaid




Asami Seto as Charlotte Scherzen
"Mete out punishment to those who lack order!"
The Number 2 in charge of the guards




Masumi Tazawa as Kasumi Shigure
"If you commit a wrong, it is my duty to correct it."
The commander of the guards



Valkyrie Drive Mermaid premiers on October

Also, more cast additions:

Saori Ōnishi as Rein Hasumi

Azumi Asakura as Lady J

Kikuko Inoue as Torino Kazami

Hitomi Harada as Momoka Sagara

As for the general setting of the franchise:

quote:

In Valkyrie Drive a mysterious virus that affects girls in their teens and 20s suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Once this virus takes over, it can transform girls into deadly weapons.

Thus far, this special virus has been classified into two types: the “A-Virus” and the “V-Virus”. The world government decided to take measure by protecting these girls that have been infected by the virus by creating five man-made islands used to keep them safe and isolated.

The girl Mamori Tokonome is transferred to one of those islands, "Mermaid." When Mamori is attacked, a newly transferred girl named Mirei saves her. The enemy doesn't stop, however, and the two are soon cornered. Just when they think all hope is lost, Mirei kisses Mamori, and Mamori turns into a sword. Mirei then wields the sword and launches a counterattack against their enemies.

The artificial island of Bhikkhuni became known for being able to successfully control the V-Virus. There’s an academy at Bhikkhuni, and they say that those who enroll there can successfully overcome the virus. That said, the girls decided to enroll with high hopes.

Little do these girls know that there’s only one way to control this virus—by fighting between those who are infected.

This sounds so insane but at the same time so cool.

The two can't really be compared beyond both featuring vampires.

Not sure where you get off thinking Vampire Hunter D is the poor man's stand-in in this situation, however.

It's just the impression I got from it looking like it had a close art style, though not as good honestly(Hellsing is pretty much perfect). I was asking because I don't know much about it.

Vampire Hunter D got some great anime adaptations, but the source material is pretty bad. Just watch the two movies and leave it at that.
