FUNimation to Announce New Licenses Prior to AnimeCentral…?

The Anime District has word that FUNimation is going to be rolling out some new licenses– one a day up until Anime Central. Which is a little funny since that seems like they may not be announcing any *at* Anime Central, or maybe just one. But on the other hand, *most* of their fans won’t be attending ACen, and this way the ones who do attend have time to come up with all their questions and whatnot, so maybe it’s a more fan-oriented (and slightly less press-oriented) announcement plan?
I should say that I’m not too familiar with Anime District, haven’t heard this anywhere else, and haven’t received any press releases myself. And I can’t find anything on FUNimation’s website…although it’s so infected with Flash that it can be hard to look for long.
But yeah, so…speculate on whether this is true, or speculate on what licenses FUNi may have up its sleeve. Whatever makes you happy!

Well hopefully they’ll save something for ACen. Still doesn’t make sense not to just wait for the con.
Role reversal!: anything you want me to ask them at ACen? =)

@Nebs: Nope– I’ll be there too. ^_^ Thanks!

I did spot something about “top secret” licenses in the press release about the Make-A-Wish visit on the Funimation site. I’m not sure if that’s actual confirmation on the plan though.

Wow, you hit just about every convention possible, don’t you? ^^;; Wish I had the money to do something like that. I just go to ones relative to my location, with ACen being the big one.

@Nebs: Lest you start to think I’m actually wealthy, I should note that my company pays for my con trips. ^^;

Kyaa: Unlikely; it’s the weekend right before Anime Weekend Atlanta, which is the weekend right before NYAF, etc.
