Does this mean that Funimation will reserve the rights to all the uncut sailor moon dvds by AD Vision?

Toei Animation took the rights away form ADV a few years ago and then put a lockdown on Sailor Moon being release in the states.

So will they be redubbed or left with ADV's dubs? Or does it not say?

This is unfortunate......AD Vision might be going bankrupt......I certainly hope not.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Before anyone thinks the doom for ADV, then need to read this thread.

ADV Sneak Peek and Matt Greenfield replies to questions.

Its true that ADV is hurting, but they are far from throwing in the towel.

The Sojitz’s ARM Corporation deal did hurt ADV, but ADV is looking for another partner and have found one and are in active negotiations for a number of titles.

Well then, I'm glad that I've got Pani Poni. Will FUNi do something akin to AD-Vid-Notes on titles that had them in the past?

If anything, they would work for Funimation, but Luci Christian already works for both ADV and FUNimation, just like alot of the others that work for ADV, they have work with FUNimation as well.

That's true. She plays Nami in the new One Piece dub (and might I say does an excellent job too).

I hope Funimation will release other ADV titles that have been cancelled for one reason or another.
