Licenced! + Release Date Announced!!


I read that Kimi ga Nozomu Eien has been licenced by funimation and will be released under the name 'Rumbling Hearts'. I hate their name for it. Anyways, they say it will be released starting October of this year, and another volume will be released every 4-5 weeks after until it's finished. I'm so glade. This is my absolute favourite show, though I don't like their name for it.

Kick ass. I've been waiting for the American release myself. Can't wait to see if I like the English VA's as much as the jap ones.

I hope they do a good job, if not I'll just watch them once then go back to the Japanese dub. Either way, I'm glad I'll be able to watch it on my TV. Though I still wish they would have picked a better title (like one more true to the original title)

I have to agree that the title that they chose sucks. I wish they kept the translation as the title. "Rumbling Hearts" just doesn't cut it.

The translation is "The Eternity you Desire" right?

reply

More or less, desire, wish for, hope for, it's a bit of a broad word in that sense.

The reason they're using the name Rumbling Hearts is because that was the subtitle on the PS2 game. I personally would've preferred a literal translation of the title, but maybe this was a stipulation set by the studio, I don't know. Maybe with any luck it'll really be "Rumbling Hearts - The Eternity You Desire", with the titles stacked on top of eachother. I'm just glad it's actually licensed, back in 2005 I thought it'd never be, and it would've been such a shame as it's my favorite series of all time.
