The guardians and the great hunters are gathering under the violet banner.
Earlier today, Funimation announced that they will produce SimulDubs for Hakyu Hoshin Engi and The Silver Guardian 2. Details on casting and première timing will be announced at a later date.
Hakyu Hoshin Engi

Natsuko Takahashi (Yuyushiki, Fantastic Detective Labyrinth) is in charge of series composition for the project.
Funimation describes the show as:
The Hoshin Project: a mission to seal away the evil immortals that infest the world. After his clan is wiped out by a beautiful fox demon, young Taikobo is suddenly in charge of this project. Burdened with this destiny, Taikobo finds himself with quandary: how do you destroy demons when it was a demon that trained you? It’s a battle to find the truth and who to trust, all while saving the world.
