You do realize that Funimation has had the distribution rights of Degrassi and Instant Star on dvd for quite a while now right? Not to mention they have a handful of Japanese live-action films including Ghost Train, Ichi, and the recent Daytime Drinking.

This may just be my opinion, but if Funimation released anime and nothing else, wouldn't that be a bad thing financially? It's not as if anime rakes out the most of money in media and entertainment.

Shaw Brother movies never gets old. Their truly a Hong Kong martial arts classic. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin was the shit.

An English subtitled edition has already been released by Image Entertainment here in the states a couple years ago!

[BrooklynChivalry]

Most of them include their original English dubbed versions from the 1970s as well as Mandarin with English subtitles!
