\"Rosa_Chaos_Sora\"<\/a><\/p>\n

FUNimation has announced its acquisition of five additional anime titles.<\/p>\n

Chaos;HEAd<\/strong> is Madhouse’s 2008 TV series adaptation of Nitroplus & 5pb.’s mystery\/horror PC game. The 12 episode series will premiere in America next year.<\/p>\n

Chrome Shelled Regios<\/strong> (Koukaku no Regios) is a 24 episode fantasy action television series broadcast in Japan last year. The series revolves around a new transfer student to a military academy in a post-apocalyptic, desolate earth. The series will premiere domestically later this year.<\/p>\n

Heaven’s Lost Property<\/strong> (Sora no Otoshimono) is last year’s romantic comedy fantasy from AIC ASTA, based on Suu Minazuki manga. The 14 episode story about a high school boy who becomes the owner\/guardian of a literal fallen “angel” streamed on Crunchyroll last year. It will hit American DVD next year.<\/p>\n

Rideback<\/strong> is Madhouse’s 2009 adaptation of Tetsuro Kasahara’s sci-fi manga. The 12 episode political action drama revolves around a college girl skilled at riding a “rideback” transforming motorcycle who becomes embroiled in an attempted take-over of the Japanese government. The series will premiere domestically next year.<\/p>\n

The 2008 Rosario + Vampire<\/strong> TV series and its sequel Rosario + Vampire Capu2 adapt Akihisa Ikeda’s supernatural harem comedy about a human teen attending a school for monsters. The two 13 episode series will premiere in America next year.<\/p>\n

FUNimation has also “license rescued” the 2005 GUNxSWORD<\/strong> television series formerly distributed in America by Geneon. The series will return to domestic DVD later this year.<\/p>\n

\"Regios_Ride_Sword\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m always glad to see more anime getting licensed for domestic release, but there’s nothing here that particularly excites me, personally. I know that all of these shows have their fans, but in my personal opinion Chaos;Head was awful, Rideback was disappointing unfulfilled potential, and RosaVam and GunSword are both mediocre. Regios and SoraOto are okay for the folks that like them.<\/i> <\/p>\n
