ANN ran Funi's banner today with the cast of Manabi Straight advertising... some stupid AnimeNation thing. What a cruel world.

Yes, I clicked. Thought maybe Funimation quietly licensed it.

P.S. Speaking of AnimeNation, John wrote: "The first trailer for next month’s iDOLM@STER anime television series has appeared on YouTube." It is definitely not the first trailer. PV2 was the first trailer with actual anime footage. Guys, please get it together.

UPDATE: Omo challenged me to parse the JavaScript that generates the ads and find the image. So I did. Here's the static URL of the banner: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/images/b/25/10175.ANN-FUNI-Gakuen-Utopia-Manabi-Straight.jpg. The shock factor is that the filename includes the show's name (they could've used an incomprehensible hexadecimal hash string)!
