Flower Mound, TX – June 14, 2013 – FUNimation announced today that it has acquired rights to Ghost in the Shell: Arise.

This special edition will be a limited single run printing of 2,500 units and will be on sale prior to FUNimation’s typical English language home video release. FUNimation will also be screening parts 1 & 2 of the OVA series in a limited theatrical run later this year.

Hetalia Flag Day Contest Winner!
Congratulations to noezel7! Your flag was picked as the winner of our #HetaliaFlagDayContest. Hetalia wouldn’t be Hetalia without a healthy helping of rainbows and bright colors! “Food, Friends, Laughter” is definitely as essential to the show as “Make Pasta, Not War,” and this definitely portrayed what our beloved series is all about.
noezel7, please look for a message via your “Ask” on tumblr, as well as a message from Michelle on your Facebook page (thank you for having options for how to contact you!)
While there can only be one winner, we were so impressed by all the entries we received that we chose a couple of runners up who will receive a consolation prize of a purple Prussia bandana, a Mint Bunny wristband, and some postcards. Here are your runners up!
This flag is from white777. We’re all ecstatic to see the mochi show up in Beautiful World, and this flag definitely captures their cuteness! Please also look for a message on your Tumblr page via your “Ask.”
From chibitorra. This flag definitely wins points for creativity, and the reasoning was very impressive. After all, white is the combination of all colors in the light spectrum! The battered Italy chibi is adorable too. Please also look for a message via your “Ask” on Tumblr.
We hope you all enjoyed this contest! We loved seeing all the entries, we’ve posted them all on our Hetalia Facebook page, and on our Pinterest board. HAPPY FLAG DAY!
