FUNimation License #2: KenIchi the Mightiest Disciple
FUNimation is continuing their week-long license announcement spree: I just got a press release announcing that they’ve picked up the action comedy KenIchi: The Mightiest Disciple (known to fansub fans as History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi). Here’s their blurb:
Not every wimp gets a chance to change his fortunes. But Kenichi just might. The guy is a walking “kick me” sign. He’s weakest among the weak and the bullies stalking his school remind him every chance they get.
With nobody on his side and zero self-confidence, Kenichi looks destined to bounce from fist to fist until graduation. Until he meets her.
There’s something about Miu. She’s kind, she’s pretty… and she’s an incredible fighter who lives in a dojo with six powerful masters of the Martial Arts – a group of experts skilled in the ancient disciplines of hand to hand combat.
These elite warriors have dedicated their bodies and minds to the endless pursuit of perfect technique.
Now, Kenichi will be their student.
He will have to do more than just toughen up. Kenichi must become the mightiest disciple and learn to stand strong for the powerless… if the training of his six new masters doesn’t kill him first.
The series is due out in 2009. Hey, FUNi? Where’s my Host Club?

Excellent news, I’ll be importing the cheap boxsets in a few years (if they don’t start with boxsets like Aquarion, etc)
