The Story of Saiunkoku

The Law of Ueki

Also listed was When They Cry (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni), whose license expiration Funimation had confirmed in June. Funimation had listed The Familiar of Zero as an expiring license in June as well.

Funimation had agreed to distribute these titles as part of its deal with Geneon in 2008. McNutt added, "As far as I know, there are no plans to re-acquire these titles."
