One of these days I’ll get around to picking up The Rolling Girls. I still hold it as one of Funi’s best broadcast dubs.

Some of these shows I don’t even remember TBH, so this’ll be a meh month for me.

On DxD, I dunno. I liked seasons 1-2 and own 'em, but it kinda seemed like creatively they’d painted themselves into a corner at the end of Season 2, though I don’t know where they went from there b/c Josh Grelle, much as I like other work of his, just isn’t Issei to my ears.

Golden Kamuy link updated - has a “GWP” at the end now. I can only guess that it means “Gift with Purchase” or something similar.

Wonder if I need to call and have them fix the sku in the order . I found a 5% off code I had that was still good so threw in the original listing with my other stuff which now goes no where . They used to be pretty good at fixing stuff without asking .

Variety: Funimation Founder Gen Fukunaga Steps Down as GM

See this is similar to what happened when EA bought out Bioware. The 2 Doctors who founded Bioware were given new positions in EA but both were gone after a year. This is too similar to not be slightly concerned about this. It all boils down who they get.

Edit: Checked the Wiki and both were gone after 5 years

Timeline: According to Wikipedia

On 11 October 2007, however, it was announced that this new partnership (organized as VG Holding Corp) had been bought by [Electronic Arts] BioWare therefore became a unit of EA, but retained its own branding.
On 18 September 2012, the next day after the official announcement of the third Dragon Age title,[19] both [Ray Muzyka] and [Greg Zeschuk], two of the remaining co-founders of BioWare, simultaneously announced they would be retiring from the gaming industry
