The North American anime distributor FUNimation Entertainment and Japan's ARM Corporation have announced that ARM has transfered the rights to more than 30 of its titles — all previously held by A.D. Vision — to Funimation. Those rights include the home video, broadcast, digital, and merchandising rights in North America and other regions. The complete list of transferred titles is as follows: * 009-1 * Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy * Air Gear * Air movie * Air TV * Blade of the Phantom Master * Comic Party: Revolution * Coyote Ragtime Show * Devil May Cry * Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor TV * Jing, King of Bandits: Seventh Heaven * Jinki:Extend * Kanon * Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora (once titled as Shattered Angels by ADV Films) * Le Chevalier D'Eon * Magikano * Moeyo Ken TV * Moonlight Mile * Murder Princess * Nerima Daikon Brothers * Pani Poni Dash! * Project Blue Earth SOS * Pumpkin Scissors * Red Garden * Sgt. Keroro 1st & 2nd * Tokyo Majin * UFO Princess Valkyrie * Utawarerumono * Venus Versus Virus * The Wallflower * Welcome to the NHK * Xenosaga These are most of the titles that had been removed from ADV Films' catalog in January. A majority of them were relisted in ADV Films' catalog in February, only to be gradually removed for a second time. ADV Films also once planned to release Gurren Lagann, but Bandai Entertainment announced in May that it had acquired the series. 5 Centimeters Per Second is not on Funimation's list of transferred titles, but copies of ADV Films' release remain available at retailers. The joint Funimation/ARM announcement comes the day after Funimation announced it will also manufacture and distribute select titles that Geneon Entertainment (USA) had planned to release before it ceased in-house DVD distribution. Funimation indicated that the new titles from ARM will be significant to its efforts in "social networking, the FUNimation Channel, and Internet VOD."
