Higurashi Relicensed

[orangeandblack5]

This is the best day of my life (well not really but it feels like it).

I know I'm a bit late with this news, but I only just found out, so...

Higurashi: When They Cry has been relicensed in the United States! (Funimation previously owned it, but now Sentai Filmworks does).

What does this mean? Well, several things.

1: It is now officially known as "When They Cry" (that title was never officially used for the show before)
2: You can now stream When They Cry on Hulu (if you do that)
3: They now offer DVD and Blu-Ray copies of When They Cry for purchase
4: Life is amazing

I reccommend you go out and buy the show. It is amazingly deep and my favorite TV show of all time, hands-down. If this is a commercial success for Sentai they might do more with the license, which would be great.

Well, at least it's not 4Kids that licensed it. Can you imagine how much censoring they'd do?

[EpicB13]

YES! The best anime ever is on Hulu?

Are they going to finish Outbreak? That was supposed to be three parts, but I believe only one got released.

That's not the job of the American licensing firm, that's the job of the author and production studio.

So no, at least not Sentai Filmworks.

Well damn. Outbreak was badass from the one part that did get released.

They died though.
