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."
