One of the few sane reasons to buy an Xbox 360 console (other than Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, of course) was ADV Films' recent announcement that they will be providing anime TV series and full-length movies for download over the Xbox Live Video Marketplace service. Now, via Gamespot, we find out that two more anime channels are teaming up with Microsoft - and they're no small fries either: FUNimation and Geneon!

"FUNimation will be releasing episodes from the epic adventure series Samurai 7 onto the network, along with other titles including Trinity Blood, Gunslinger Girl, and Basilisk. Geneon Entertainment will be adding games including the US HD debut of classic Akira, along with Gun Sword, Last Exile, Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, and Lupin the 3rd."

A pretty decent line-up, all things considered (it could've been a lot worse!). But it definitely needs moar desu.
