If he's hacked, then I smell something suspicious...

EDIT: Seems like the post was merely removed. I dunno what else would be done though...

Lain please dont' be an idiot. You're a good bro and I know it.
 
Regardless if he has been or not, I'd ignore him for the time being.

He might infect you with his idiocy
:p



but seriously, do it.
 
Saw that coming unfortunately. Still unsure if it was actually him or not (as I really haven't been around him long enough to know for him) but wow. Mind = Blown.

What was the point is what I want to know.

Unless it was him being hacked (which I kinda hope was the actual case), I'm not really sure the answer will make any more sense then what we just witnessed.
 
Stop making such a big deal out of it and move on, Andre.

Something obviously isn't shaping up, but we've already developed a rough idea what might have happened.
 
^ SM City Cebu huh!? lol

-> I feel bad about Lain though, but he'll come back.
 
Terronium-12
Nice set. 👍

Can it be used as a monitor?

^ I should say, Ocean Group did a very good job on dubbing Inu Yasha almost on par with ADV (RIP). :)

ADV Films is basically still around. It's hard to explain, but put simply, they're now Sentai Filmworks.

Finished Sasami: Magical Girls Club 2. Was supposed to finish it on Thursday, but it's a long story. 8/10, I was surprised at what season 2 did.
-------------
Finally got back to Blue Dragon after like 3 years, and is it me, or did VIZ Media actually give this near DVD-quality when they put it on Hulu uncut?


Man, I'm just 30 episodes away from hitting the 4,000 episode mark on MAL. Though I'm behind in my anime schedule, so I'm going to be hitting that mark later than I would have if I didn't fall behind.

The counters for the first press of Rurouni Kenshin: Shin Kyoto-Hen Part 1 at CDJapan haven't moved, yes! I may just have a chance at getting it. As a big Kenshin fan, I NEED the first press version. A piece of film (Randomly selected.), a 250 page production booklet, and a booklet, that's more than enough to make it worth getting.

Blu-ray DVD

After I hopefully get the Madoka LE (Before it sells out. Rightstuf's first shipment sold out on the release date, though they're getting another soon.), and along with it Ikki Tousen (The 2009 box set that's in Rightstuf's bargain bin for $21, with 17 copies left.), I'll still have a shot at getting Rurouni Kenshin: Shin Kyoto-Hen Part 1. It's near the top of my "To Buy" list due to the First Press getting a counter. It'll cost about $90 it seems to get it and ship it from CDJapan if I do Air Mail.

I really wish someone would license it already so I can watch it (The JP BD/DVD lacks subtitles.). I'm kinda shocked nobody tried to pick it up already as it's part of the Rurouni Kenshin series, a hit show here.

Guy's in the navy, do you really think he knows? :p

Anyway_, I'm done that shoddy drawing, butchered their faces but I can't be bothered to fix them anymore as this was mean to pitch the design to whomever, spent too much time on it tbh.

^ I knew it, since the quality of their dubs are top-notch. I still miss ADV as a whole. :indiff:

-> Since I'm a part-time Tokusatsu fan & a full-time anime fan, I would like to share these:

Kamen Rider Ryuki vs. Madoka Magica
SPOILER WARNING!!!

From: Kamen Rider Kabuto


From: Kamen Rider Fourze


-> AEAD will be up later. ;)

Eh, their dubs are usually big hits or misses with most people. I haven't heard many ADV/Sentai dubs however. Looking through my MAL, the only dubs they've done I've heard are Air, Air: The Motion Picture, Excel Saga, Shattered Angels, Maburaho, Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal*, Xenosaga: The Animation, and Comic Party Revolution.

Also yeah, I miss what they used to be. The lawsuit where FUNi sued Sentai for $8 million (Sentai I highly doubt even has $8 million, so if they lose, bye-bye Sentai practically.) makes me wish ADV Films as ADV Films was still around.

*The Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal dub they did is greatly criticized. I rarely see anyone say good things about it. Though even with that dub (It got better as the 4 act OVA went on.), it still can't bring down the quality really. Overall with the dub the BD managed to get an A from ANN (The sub got an A+, a score that is VERY, VERY rare to see ANN give an anime.).
Overall (dub) : A
Overall (sub) : A+
Story : A
Animation : A+
Art : A+
Music : A

+ Stirring, devastating, smart, redemptive; pure perfection.

^ Don't forget that ADV did mangas too! I have the complete series of Azumanga Daioh manga:

-> Yeah, ADV went to tackle too much stuff in a very short amount of time. They even did New Type USA on which they did an ok job. FUNi to me is begining to be like EA, eliminate competition and become a monopoly. :indiff:

uMadson?
No. Ayala Center Cebu. You got it close :lol:

^ Indeed I was close, I didn't even know that there was an Ayala center in Cebu. Damn I need to go back in P.I. and have fun once again... :indiff:

Yeah, I know they did manga as well. Though in the months before ADV Films as people knew it was gone, the ADV Manga division dissolved.

As for FUNimation becoming more like EA, people are speculating it's ARM/Sojitz (Whoever, I'm confused.) ordering FUNimation around. Some things that can clear things up.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-04/funimation-picks-up-over-30-former-ad-vision-titles
Lots of the titles ADV got from that deal went to FUNimation.
Also, just to show how some mistakes were made. Almost $9,000,000 just to get the rights to 29 anime, but to my knowledge, $20,000 an episode isn't uncommon.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...ments-reveal-amounts-paid-for-29-anime-titles

Many times, the Japanese company pretty much orders around the R1 company as part of the license contract, or if they're the US branch of a Japanese company (Geneon Entertainment (Dead), Bandai Entertainment (For the most part dead.), Bandai Visual USA (Dead), Toei Animation USA (Dead basically), and Aniplex of America are all/were US branches of Japanese companies.).

There's also ordering around where an American company is later owned by Japanese companies. VIZ Media is owned by Shueisha and Shogakukan, two of the largest publishers in Japan, and they distribute their manga exclusively through VIZ (Which has many drawbacks unfortunately. It would take a while to explain why.).

In conclusion, we don't really know enough details whether to say FUNi is in the wrong, ADV is in the wrong, or ARM is in the wrong. Still, no matter who wins, we the fans will lose. The companies should be working together, not fighting each other when the R1 industry is crumbling.

For no reason, trailers.
