Funimation doesn't change up their schedule often, but this time they've added some of my favorites.

I am very much smiling right now... Mushi-Shi! and School Rumble! Yahoo!

Hurrah for Mushi-Shi! I hope that'll help get that series out there, more people need to know about it AND LOVE IT.

Too bad I don't get their channel... T.T (Otherwise it might be a good excuse to watch School Rumble, which I still haven't yet.)

A friend of mine went to a Con this weekend and Sonny Strait was there, and he said that they also got Romeo X Juliet and the way they are dubbing it is like... Shakespearean talk.

O_o

Is Mushishi good?

Well, Romeo, Juliet, Shakespeare... there is a connection, you know...

Very, but it's not for everyone. It's slow-moving and ethereal supernatural stories, about a guy wandering around Japan not looking to slay the monsters so much as separate them and the people they are causing trouble for. And the artwork is beautiful.

Although the content is not 'mature', I would call the stories themselves 'mature'. Not in terms of sex-and-violence, but in an intellectual fashion.

Well... I just remember the late 1990s romeo and juliet movie...with Leonardo di Caprio... XD and it was entertaining but WIERD XD
