Rumic World Fire TripperFunimation is holding their next FuniCon virtual panel at 6PM CDT/4PM PST/7PM EDT tonight with a teaser about a new license, but the cat may have been let out of the bag a little early as this tweet states that Funimation has licensed Rumiko Takahashi’s Fire Tripper OVA series from the golden age of the 80’s.

Fire Tripper was previously released in the US by the former Central Park Media under the Rumic World banner comprising a collection of stories written by the author best known for Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha.
