FUNimation News from Otakon

At last weekend’s Otakon convention, FUNimation confirmed that the Cartoon Network broadcast of Fullmetal Alchemist will be uncut, but digitally edited to tone down the graphic violence. The Cartoon Network broadcast will use only one opening sequence, but the DVD release will feature all of the proper Japanese opening animation sequences. The domestic DVD release will be on 16 DVDs retailing at $24.98 each. Three tin boxes will also be released to house all 16 discs.

An uncut, unedited DVD release of American Dragonball Z TV seasons 1-2 is tentatively scheduled for spring 2005.

FUNimation confirmed plans for a Fruits Basket DVD boxed set. The box will be released separately for consumers that already own the individual DVDs.

The Case Closed (Detective Conan) DVDs will include uncut Japanese language versions with accurate translations, but will not include reversible covers.
