Anime & Manga Thread v.4 FAQ/IRC: See OP. Thread over. Move onto v.5

Multi-cour shows tend to take a week or more off between seasons. So if that show didnt air one week, it’ll air the next week. Or the week after.

specs, just watch the fucking show.

i thought animes dont get released the week of new years?

Gasai Yuno is a fucking boss. However, it’s not just her who is mentally unstable. It seems as though no one is “normal” and not having seen the rest of the people in the show. Gasai Yuno definitely stands out the most.

Cough that shit up, motherfucker. I have a show to watch.

Imma watch Mirai Nikki sometime in the next month or so so I can talk shit about it.

The Winter season has begun in full now. If you are looking for the times for when a show comes on, look on AnimeCalendar.

Maybe Sunday.

Does anyone know why they make 3-5 minute animes? That shit really irks me.

It’s like those little kiddie animations they squeeze in between 2 shows… beats watching more commercials.

And big finger goes to animecalendar; where the fuck is Black Rock Shooter?!

I’d wear a sash that says “ayatsuji tsukasa”

oh here we go now we’re happy

Think I got to about ep 10 before I stopped. Sae just annoyed me like hell. On 17 now though, figured I might as well watch s1 and hop on s2.

I’m wondering what’s going to happen with Nisemono though… UTW are waiting for blurays, and it doesn’t seem like anyone else is doing it atm either. Hopefully a good group picks it up, or I might have to wait for blurays. Could be good as well, I guess.

Someone will pick it up.

Crunchyroll picked up Nise so Im sure we can expect horriblesubs to release it.

[SIZE=4]Bandai Entertainment to Stop Releasing New DVDs, BDs, Manga[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]Ken Iyadomi on Bandai Entertainment’s Downsizing[/SIZE]

I just quoted the parts of interest. More stuff is in the hyperlink above

I cant really say that I’m surprised this happened. I mean when anime gets licensed here, the publisher gets that small amount for the licensing fee and then they get some lame amount as a cut for every disc sold. The licensee has to sell as much as 5 to 9 times more discs per volume for them to match one Japanese disc sold. And that’s not including boxsets, which people here would rather buy anyway.

If they want to cut out the middleman for the off-chance that they can get more profits off the very few people outside of Japan that would be willing to buy anime for the Japanese price, go right ahead. Anime is doing well enough in Japan that I don’t think these licensors really need us at all. Though, I do think that Bandai is being stubborn and nearsighted not wanting to change their business model just because it works in Japan, I also think there isn’t that much risk in attempting this. It just fucks over everyone not in Japan.

One more thing to note: Bandai is huge. If they want to pull out of the North American market, It might encourage other licensors to pull out as well for similar reasons. In other words, this may the beginning of the end of localized anime.

Lol like I pay for anime or manga.

Amagami is that anime where like 4 eps is focused on 1 girl and it’s always a different story each time? I think I stopped around ep 10 or so as well.

So Symphogear is a hilarious trainwreck so far.

Michael Bay’s Suite Precure ep 1

[details=Spoiler]And it’s Ga-Rei Zero’ing us. Kanade died because she sacrificed her life to fight off the enemy, Noise. Some fangirl named Hibiki was there and nearly got killed by Noise. Some Mephisto thing was important, and I don’t remember why. Nana Mizuki and **Minami Takayama **voice the faux main characters until they die.

The music wasn’t bad at least.[/details]
