Funimation aquires more anime.

At its Anime Central industry panel on Saturday evening, FUNimation Entertainment announced its acquisition of Romeo X Juliet, Gonzo's 24-episode science-fiction take on the William Shakespeare play. It will be released in two half-season boxes, with the first due out sometime in the spring of 2009. Funimation also confirmed that the release date for Ouran High School Host Club will be revealed during a special event on May 30.

At the same time as the panel was taking place, the Funimation.com website was updated with a splash page for another new license: D.Gray-man, which is also on track for a 2009 release.

From what I have seen on the anime sites, Funimation has only acquired the first 51 episodes of D.Gray Man. On the fansubber end of the story, Shinsen-subs completely dropped it.

As for Romeo x Juliet, I hope its real this time.
