Written By Samantha Ferreira April 17, 2016

It looks like two titles left Funimation’s digital stable.

Recently, Funimation’s portal pages for Symphogear and Detective Milky Holmes 2 were removed from the company’s website. Both titles were previously streamed in their entirety by the publisher.

Symphogear originally aired in the Winter 2012 broadcast season. The series was directed by Tatsufumi Itō (Shugo Chara! Party!, Mahō Sensei Negima!: Mō Hitotsu no Sekai – Extra Mahō Shōjo Yue) at Encourage Films and Satelight, with Satoshi Koike () providing character designs. Creator Akifumi Kaneko was in charge of series composition.

Detective Opera Milky Holmes 2 (Tantei Opera Milky Holmes Dai-Ni-Maku) also aired in the Winter 2012 season. Makoto Moriwaki (PriPara, Oruchuban Ebichu) directed the project at Artland and J.C. Staff, with Seiya Numata (Shion no Oh) providing character designs. Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Ben-To, Yatterman Night) was in charge of series composition.
