That's not even the good part of the post. Or even the thread, later on that guy puts Japan on blast and it's ugly.
The reality is the anime industry is suffering because it's clear Japan has no clue how exporting media works. It's why widespread piracy of American media (movies and TV and music) hardly means shit to Hollywood outside of exaggerated MPAA/RIAA crying, because the Americans figured out how to monetize media in every country on Earth decades ago. These days American media profits are something like 40% domestic market and 60% foreign markets for most movie studios. The American media domestic market is the largest single market in the world too. That's huge for the American media industry, not only in terms of making money but also exporting American culture overseas which benefits the country as a whole.
I don't understand why it's so hard for Japan to figure out how to monetize media outside of the domestic market. Why hasn't Animax launched in North America after nearly a decade? Why couldn't Japan figure out Internet streaming until after Crunchyroll appeared originally distributing illegal fansubs? Why is Japan so afraid of cannibalizing domestic sales that they can't release DVD/BD in worldwide markets day-and-date with Japan? Even at ridiculous JP prices, there's a market for day-and-date DVD/BD, just look at KnK and F/Z. Even the most trivial American movie or album can be purchased in almost any country on Earth that can access the Internet. Why can't you buy just about any anime you want via Internet download? It's not as if it's not translated, fansubbers have been diligently subbing almost everything for decades now. The fansubbing culture wouldn't even exist if Japan had started exporting the media from the very beginning. Nobody needs to fansub an American movie, it's available legally in your country with subtitles and often dubbed right now and it was released roughly the same day (give or take a few weeks) as everywhere else in the world at once. It just doesn't make sense how self-defeating the anime industry is in terms of figuring out how to make money.
This.
SO FUCKING THIS.
Japan, I want you to take my money. Make it all available here. figure it out. Granted there is the whole subtitling thing to work out but that shouldnt be too hard. I would have so many MORE series on my shelf by now if they sold it in the Us day and date or shortly afterward.
I think it has a lot to do with Japan's excessively conservative and risk-averse business culture. It's the same reason for the horrible working conditions.
Dudu the floatie: That was really fun to watch. Very colourful and full of quality animation too. The story of a father who has a fear of water, trying to take his energetic daughter to the beach but winds up unable due to 'work' (having to be the caddy for your bosses feels so cliche but it's fun). The dream that Mika has of a magical water land where the floatie she got for her dad comes to life leads to some very fantastic visuals. Everybody should give this one a look.
Impressive animation.
There's even Undulation!
So many colours!

Moyashimon Returns 02
Oikawa is the best, she seems to be channeling more and more of Hasegawa as time goes by. Also, Itsuki can be creepy as fuck when he wants to be.

What is with the basement anyways? I thought it was a passage or room for Yuki at first, but now I'm not so sure.

Hacks, maybe not. But surely there are exploits to be abused for lewt and power.
I'd noclip to the 100th level like a boss.

Come on, Kirito was obviously using speedhack and wallhack!
Since Kirito has explored higher and farther than anyone else, there are things he knows and places he can go to farm for XP and loot that nobody else knows about. He seems to be the only one who knows about that low level quest for the butter reward item, and that's all it took to win Asuna's heart!

Completed the first two episodes of Kino's Journey. If the following episodes are anything like the second episode I will consider purchasing this title in the coming months.
I think that it must be kind of a strange sensation for Ben to know a person and watch it grow as an animator to later make an interview with him, when things start to fructify on his career:

and Yamada's brother is even a beater, the worst kind of MMO players!
Just read through this earlier today. Super interesting look into his history and his work in Kids on the slope. I especially enjoyed the bits about how he got into the industry and the problems with it.
Reading this directly after that article by the former anime production assistant creates the same feeling as the first act of an Urobuchi Gen anime...

the kissing scene had me cracking up when it came to Lan's turn!
It's 10 years in the future, I'm sure they have flawless internet then.
If only it was so easy to woo a girl in real life. I hate effort....

Horizon's ahead of them on that!
Horizon is truly ahead of its time.
Considering it is Japan, I expect their internet is probably beyond our imagination of amazing.

Knowing how to get/make good food is a great way to get in good with a girl. Or anyone, for that matter.
No excuses!
but you're a self proclaimed 'sadistic lolicon'
you can just paint "free candy" on your tinted window van!
Maybe in the future there is no such thing as a shitty ISP. As for those bills, if their loved ones really love them then they better fucking pay on time.
edit: i suck ass at cooking and will probably never be any good. @Uchip if you were in the IRC last night you would know i'm not a lolicon in real life
Boobs are just way too awesome.Unknown Soldier

The LN explains some stuff left out of the anime.
All the people stuck in SAO are moved to a special hospital built to house them. This is all paid for by the profits made by Argus. See the end of the first episode of Harsh Realm for pretty much exactly what it would look like. I'm sure the hospital has special network access to ensure people aren't disconnected from SAO.
You're making this too easy.
Or am i making this just right? <3
I think you forgot who you're talking to.
Most hype moment of the season.
@Uchip if you were in the IRC last night you would know i'm not a lolicon in real life
