FUNimation, I think, is tapped into my brain and has dedicated itself to serving my every whim. Not only are they now releasing their shows in larger sets, giving you 13-14 episodes for $32 instead of 4 episodes for $30 (a la One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, and the upcoming Ouran release), not only are they re-releasing shorter series that originally cost $90 in "Viridian collections" that cost $30-40, BUT NOW they have picked up Geneon's series and are going to be marketing the existing episodes AND CONTINUING RELEASES.
This means Saiunkoku Monogatari is no longer lost in a wasteland. New voice actors or old, I don't care, but I AM GETTING DVDS. Today is a good, good day. (I've heard they're trying to keep most of the same voice actors, since Geneon is no more and there are no contracts to worry about, but I think that's more rumor than actual fact. I hope it's true because Houju's English voice was amazing - he sounded exactly like the Japanese VA, just speaking English. Sexy.)
Now they just need to license Hayate the Combat Butler. And cast Kevin Corn as Hayate.
