hmm, a hint of good news! (note: my first post was about the MANGA being licensed, this News artical is mostly about the anime , however the last line is the light of shining hope for the manga)

» confessions of a Beck Freak.
As a few of you know I'm a Beck freak, and have been doing the anime from day 1 with A-E. Now a few weeks ago it came to our attention that the anime had all but been licensed by Funimation (this is NOT based on the funi registraion story). In preparation for the eventual licensing I decided to sort out a gameplan with my buddy vincent from shinsen (who I am also a part of), as the group at A-E consisted of some decent people I began to ask people i would want to work with to join the project for post-licensed releases. First person I asked was X (Beck Translator) who told me he was unhappy with the A-E situation (various reasons) and he would be willing to make a move a lot sooner. However, as we had already done work on ep 11+12, enough to put into the later stages of release we thought it best to start from 13+ and there you have it...

#are you going to do 11+12?
#depending on A-E's response, we will either forge ahead and release these or allow A-E to release them.

#Are you going to do the manga?
#Maybe not as part of Shinsen, but some of us here at Shinsen will be releasing further chapters of the manga soon...
