FUNimation Announces New Acquisitions

FUNimation has formally announced its acquisition of this season’s Guilty Crown television series and the .hack//Quantum OVA series.

Production I.G’s sci-fi/action series Guilty Crown is a political thriller about a supernaturally powered teen who joins the underground resistance that opposes the multinational orgnization that has taken over control of post-apocalyptic Japan. The show will premiere on Japanese television on the 13th. FUNimation will simulcast weekly episodes the same day they air in Japan with a home video release to follow next year.

The three-episode .hack//Quantum premiered earlier this year. FUNimation is streaming the series with English subtitles now.

.hack//Quantum is the best of the .Hack anime, and Guilty Crown looks very promising. Nice pick-ups.
