Nothing replacing it, all the other premieres are just getting moved up half an hour. Thundercats is now in GXP’s spot.

As far as anime’s based off of porn games goes it’s a hit or miss area, Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Zero, Shuffle, and, I’m not entirely sure I’m saying this from word of mouth, but Hellsing were all based off of porn. Those were all well written and a must see in my book if you like good stories.
:ghost: I’m going to nitpick and point out that Fate/Zero is actually based off a series of light novels, which acted as a prequel to an H game, but not based off a game itself.
And Hellsing… wasn’t really based off of porn per se, but there was a softcore hentai “prototype” 1-shot comic (its an… interesting read to say the least). Before Hellsing started Hirano mostly did hentai doujinshi, one of which happened to feature early versions of characters that would eventually appear in Hellsing.

Well, I submitted a question afew days ago regarding the Mihoshi Special to which has people from FUNimation, and it made it into the podcast (at about the 1:17:50 mark)this weeks ANNCast!!! They said “stay tuned” which sounded like a generic PR reply to dodge the question, but then they go on to say that do want some of the Tenchi stuff that they don’t have and that there are “plans in the works” that they can’t talk about yet. Make of that what you will.
EDIT:
And the mystery deepens it seems.
for the Tenchi OVA combo pack, and on the right side of the page it features several screenshots. Is it just me, or does one of them appear to be Pretty Sammy from the Mihoshi Special?ANN now features a big ad- November 30, 2012 at 9:29 PM

Dagon123 wrote:The Mihoshi Special probably had to be bought with the Pretty Sammy OVA as a combo (That’s what the license was here, and as they are owning the licenses to the OLD products, not really the product itself per-say) and knowing FUNi, not grabbing the extras from the Blu-ray probably saved them a fair amount of money as well, so I’m doubtful they are going to buy an extra license or 2 for your convenience when, as it’s even been shown here, most people really don’t care enough about it to warrant another purchase.
Are we sure MS and PS had to be licensed together? You might be right, but I always assumed Geneon probably thought it would simply be a better idea to bundle two short OVAs from the same franchise together than to release two seperate DVDs of 1 and 3 episodes each, each a bit scant on content (moreso MS, since its only 1 episode).

So it is curious if they have SMGC why not Magical Pretty Girl Sasami or the Mihoshi Special that introduced
the character?
They picked up SMGC years ago, and from what I’ve heard it didn’t sell very well. Though I hate to admit it, thats as good a reason as any not to pick up the other Pretty Sammy stuff. They could always change their minds and pick up at least the PS OVA (which is dubbed) if their Tenchi rereleases sell good, but I’m not holding my breath.
As for the Mihoshi Special, thats anyones guess.

I just finished the first movie. The CGI was mediocre, and it wasn’t very well paced. It just didn’t flow very smoothly. In that regard it kinda felt like the first episode ofBerserk , basically just a clip show of important events from the manga.Hellsing UltimateNow, having said that, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. The 2D animation was fantastic, and as a Berserk fan it kept me entertained. I’ve heard the second film improves on both the CGI and pacing. Can’t wait to see that!

I was planning to watch it all in release order, although I am going to forego the first movie for now since I just saw that story. Don’t worry, after FarewellI’m definitely going to watch the second season! - November 27, 2012 at 7:35 AM

Chuck! I finished Season 1 of Star Blazers awesomenessplz That was fantastic, it really picked up towards the end. That battle on Gamilon was epic
😮 , and the last episode was both happy and sad😥 . Why did I not watch this show sooner?I was also rather amused when Sandor calmly flipped that switch to turn on the reflective shield and deflect Desslock’s laser.
And Captain Avatar…

Now on to Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato!
