I’m not sure, you see, because Publishers Weekly already has CMX’s new title announcements, or at least some of them: Genghis Khan, a manga adaptation of the film which FUNimation is releasing in North America, and March on Earth, a drama about a girl who must raise her nephew after a car accident kills her family.

I kid; of course I’ll be there.

All of FUNimation’s SDCC announcements (see liveblog thread) were movies this time around, and three of the four were live action.

But the biggest news for most anime fans is that they’ve licensed the upcoming film Vexille, the CG-animated film by the team that did the film of Shirow Masamune’s Appleseed. (Did you know that Paul Oakenfeld did the soundtrack for Vexille? ‘Cause I’m not sure I did.)

Also announced are two samurai flicks, Kaze Hana and Love and Honor, as well as the lavish $30 million Japan-Mongolia production of Genghis Khan.

Other than that, the only real news is that the second Cased Closed film will be out in winter, and the One Piece OP and ED have been dubbed. And now, I shall scoot off for Del Rey.
