Re: New Vision of Escaflowne HD Dub Kickstarter

As neither SakuraCon nor Funimation could even respond with a token "we're investigating the matter"-type response, it's been kicked up the chain. Both Yamada and her animation studio, Studio Wit, have been notified of the theft in Japanese. I still don't expect the sketches to ever be 'fo...

Re: New Vision of Escaflowne HD Dub Kickstarter

Just wanted to submit another story regarding the shadiness of what goes on at a con. I was at SakuraCon 2016 this past weekend. This year, Funimation brought over three guests, one of which was Ayumi Yamada, who was chief animation director on Owari no Seraph . She drew two sketches for the charity...

Re: Surprise lolicon.

It appears the Beeb has decided to weigh in on the issue - http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35714067 I thought the interview portion with the creator of "Kaze to Kino Uta", Keiko Takemiya, was pretty interesting. You hardly hear anything from artists from the 1970s anymore, let alone see...

Re: Saint Seiya English promo circa 1990

I reviewed a Sailor Moon series for Anime Jump and boy howdy, the repetition of the same sequences over and over again every episode is almost hypnotic when viewed in a big chunk. I will neither confirm nor deny that I would get very upset when Sailor Jupiter's transformation was edited to fit the ...

Re: What is the age range of Millennials, anyway?

Maybe start a new topic, Yusaku? Just a thought, since this one has really gone off topic. I still think you're overgeneralizing people. There are conservative people in parts of the country that you feel are more progressive, just as there are liberals in conservative areas too. What you see portra...

Re: Angel's Egg streaming...by Tokyopop??

Tokyopop announced at Anime Expo last year that they were planning on relaunching their company again in 2016. I'm guessing Angel's Egg is one of the few properties that they were unable to sell off to Funi during their 2008 restructuring, and still might have the rights to show today. If you go to ...

Re: What is the age range of Millennials, anyway?

^ It's not that I mind discussing this, though preferably on a different thread, but you're doing a lot of overgeneralizing. The only Gen X/Y/Millennial women I have ever known who expected men to pay for everything are those that are incredibly attractive because they knew that they could easily re...

Re: What is the age range of Millennials, anyway?

The onslaught of feminism has brought the marriage rate of men 20 to 34 years of age from 70% in 1965 to 20% in 2013! Even though this is probably click bait, I'm going to call BS on the bolded part. Feminism provided women with the ability to earn a living where they would not be dependent on a ma...

Re: Forum get-togethers.

Will anyone be at SakuraCon this year? A group of collector fans I usually spend the entire time together in lines or panels, but there's always room for more!

(I bring snackies to share...anyone..anyone...?)
