Fresh out of AnimeUSA, FUNimation has announced quite a few good picks to add to their upcoming lineup, the first of which being Tetsuwan Birdy Decode from Aniplex. The second? The ecchi anime Sekirei, followed up by none other than Full Metal Panic! and Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu. A nice amount of good stuff, plus we have targets for most of them: Birdy will release in half-season sets in 2010, Sekirei is also listed for a DVD 2010 release, and FMP! will be streaming online in addition to the DVD and Blu-ray releases in 2010
I'm definitely excited for Birdy, as I enjoyed the first season (although I've yet to catch up on the second) and FMP! is a nice addition to FUNimation's library. How about you guys? Have any of these titles been ones you've been waiting for? 2010 is starting to look pretty good for anime fans.

Sekirei is one I am somewhat interested in, but it's not a top priority.
FMP! is one I already have on DVD, and I am still debating whether I should rebuy the 3rd season on BluRay. I have the money, but I don't know if the quality will be much different compared to FMP!TSR when it's upscaled.
