more as in volume. Anime tits clearly have to be at least the size of said person's head to be worth anything.

Railgun is far better than Index simply because of Saten. Saten needs her own series or OVA,
.
and no the third episode of Index-tan does not count

I know, I was just playing dumb.
Oh plz, what the fuck she doing in whole series.. her design are pretty bland too.
thanks. Cant wait to see what you got!
This is the correct course. You are wise. May your money not flow like a river from your bank account.
I know the feeling. got out of it at episode 34 and flashier stuff has filled in my viewing time. It beckons me back. I've only a few episodes to go!
Excuse my poor grammar. Sisters
She has NO hips. None. She also doesnt seem to have organs of any kind. she really is magic!
Nah, he said exactly what he feels. He totally meant body. extollere is a man of his word.
This is why this show is better than SAO.
Ok Sentai, you are seriously trying to make me love you. I know you used to be ADV so I should anyway but that was the past and I was TRYING to move on. You are like an ex that wont go away, always enticing me. Goddamn you.
Not that I know what relationships are like much but this is speculation.

Don't worry, in the event of my demise I have an automated service set up that sends out messages on all mediums to communicate my demise.
AKB0048? Don't you mean Interstellar Idols?
That joke is kind of irrelevant. They aren't that bad with titles.
Funimation is probably the worst so far with
"Cat Planet cuties" although I am really rather partial to that particular name. It rings true to my interests.
Well I've shifted from Lego to this so I'm actually saving money!
You're not exactly helping. Never thought I'd take over you in the rankings.
Look, Extollere still manages to post despite all the fapping and drinking so you really have no excuse.
When I hear the term home video it makes it sound like it is coming out on VHS.

I was not trying being all that serious. Saten is a bit of the odd one
out though being the only Level 0 of the group of four girls in Railgun

If Sentai could do box sets on the order of what NISA does, I would love them forever.

ADV was never known for overly elaborate sets to begin with. Their downfall was simply being too big. they are making some smart acquisitions now though. To be honest, between NISA, Sentai/Section 23, Aniplex, Funimation, Media Blasters, and Bandai they have covered about 95% of shows I have wanted to own. I am EXTREMELY happy with the amount and quality of releases lately. I dont know how it is holding up for these companies financially but I wish them all the best because every single one of them (still alive) is trying very hard to maintain quality and package the anime attractively.

Too big, they were bigger than Funi/Viz?

Guess Denpa Onna kinda spoiled me
. But you're right, their box sets have always been bare bones. It is a lot better these days...I remember paying around $70-$80 for the ADV Chrono Crusade box set that had all the extras stripped out. I do hope all the existing companies in the US anime business hold up at the very least.Too big at least for their own means.
Looks like their background art has improved.
I guess it's easy to have higher production values when you only have 2 projects for the entire year, and they're both feature films!

School has just started up for me, so entertainment has taken a backseat. I will cover the backlog anime from the past two days (and peer impressions for them) today.
Hataraki Man 2
Well, that was quite a heavy-handed way to deal with
. If the series hadn't set its tone earlier, I would be more disappointed. It doesn't excuse the handling of it, but the episode turned out fair. A new character is introduced and interacts with the main character in way that defines how straight-faced (or not) both take their work.
The only way to make Fumiya's developed outlook of Matsukata (after a single night) more clumsy was if he said,
. It wasn't an optimal take on the issue in any aspect, but it still made for an okay watch, if for nothing else, for seeing the subject focused on.

I paid much more than that for Chrono Crusade, but it did come with extra stuff on the discs and a pretty artbox. So many pretty artboxes. I go nuts for them and companies are still delivering, although in more compact packaging. Really not fond of the super savings collections entirely stripped of any personality or collector value except for the sake of saving space.
ADV used to be ENORMOUS. They started the whole anime licensing movement in the US. they were the top dog. the big enchilada. The colossus of clout. They had an empire, and the whole motherfucking thing came crashing down.
God yes. Ufotable, deliver us from evil.

I could agree with this ranking. Though '90s do edge out the rest on some attributes because 'reasons'.

Back in the day, ADV was basically licensing everything. And not content with that, they started licensing manga and CDs and maybe toys, dunno. They basically expanded way too quickly and when people wasn't buying enough of their stuff, they basically crashed.
I don't know that I'd totally agree with this. While they were certainly prolific, I doubt they could have matched up to Funimation financially if for no other reason than Dragonball.
ADV definitely led the pack in terms of quantity of licenses though, largely to support the Anime Network, I think. Of course, that's probably also what led to their downfall - crazy spending sprees on tons of mediocre shows doesn't work out too well when people end up not buying the stuff...

How could they fall, they just didnt have a Naruto/Gundam among all the series they licensed or something?
They paid some outrageous license fees for questionable properties too!
Doesn't count.
They were spending half a million bucks at a time licensing shit anime that wasnt selling.
Same thing that took down Geneon.
Oh Geneon. My old flame. I will never forget you.

The bigger they are the harder they fall. Eh they still do it under Sentai though that doesn't mean they are now any wiser or making money looking at what they keep licensing!
I guarantee you they arent licensing anything for nearly the amount it used to cost. The Japanese companies were making back the cost of production just with Us licensing alone. They fleeced the fuck out of them.
IIRC, the majority of ADV's biggest titles were all Gonzo productions, so what goes around comes around. Because Gonzo relied so heavily on foreign investment via licensing to support their massive expansion in production, when the well in the US dried up, they went bust too.
