Watching anime should be his job!

The only way it could be worst is if Sentai had her voice by the VA for Clannad's Fuko. Dont like that voice.
Urgh. I've just taken a bunch of leave before then because it's the end of the financial year so I need to use it up so I don't lose it, but I can't exactly ask for more considering I was meant to be back that week.
It's at 8:20 in the evening - you could just go after work?

I just have bad memories from the few minutes of Infinite Stratos's dub that I tortured myself with. Though I don't remember ADV's dubs being that bad, so I don't know.

Well, they are taking a one-season break, so even if he shows up it wouldn't be definitive. Another thing I was seeing yesterday is that Chise Kamoi, the would-be character designer for Kyoukai no Kanata since she illustrated the LN and designed the PV characters, is also almost missing from Tamako Market. She only did KA in episodes 1-2, and returned at the bottom of the list for episode 8; she wasn't sakkan for any episode, which is strange considering that she has been an animation director since Nichijou and would probably appear more frequently since she's young and fired up lol.
Yes!
Also, I want to see duckroll's thoughts on the latest episode.
I heard the visual novel was pretty good, so I'm interested in seeing how this turns out.
Edit: Speaking of Tamako Market, since no one has posted this yet, I'll do the honors:

Actually, I don't think Sentai does any dub work themselves, only hire out studios to do dubs for them.
Though I suppose that really doesn't matter.

Black Lagoon Ep 2
Geez Revy is a huge asshole.
Rock is a spineless coward
I like it so far.

It really, really pleases me how this episode 9 was oriented as a remembrance of past (and the future) of love without overbearing or a bit cloudy sentimentalism on sight, just light and joyful sweetness. Very nice!
I like what you are saying, Shergal... but I still don't want to get my hopes up this early, man!

How would else does an anime fan pay for all their merch? They can't all live the NEET lifestyle! I'm pretty sure it's okay as long as you don't have any kind of life outside work and anime.
Well that certainly isn't true.

So I've been listening to a lot of Dynaime in the Brain lately and while I wouldn't necessarily tell people to go out of their way to listen to it I've been finding it very enjoyable lately. While I don't feel that it's nearly as revelatory or informative as AWO I find the dynamic between the two hosts to be enjoyable because they have such different tastes. That's not a particularly great reason to endorse a show, I know, but you'd be surprised how many podcasts feature three hosts who never disagree about anything - which is very boring.

Hey fuckers, you know when I keep saying that CG is the future and you should open your eyes to the reality? Guess what? I was right.

Perhaps theyd make more money in 2d animation if they stopped churning out sequel after sequel of quality lacking titles like Toy story and Monster's etc and actually spent that amount of money innovating and making really good stories for that medium.
>Disney
this is sad in a way, but not all that "surprising".
RIP Disney.
The Simpsons Proved as well. The joke is on everybody else because Disney has five of the 10 top VFX studios under their banner. It just makes the whole VFX issues with outsourcing and what not even fucking worse in retrospect.
It's pretty much true across the board though. 2D animation simply isn't as appreciated or profitable compared to 3D animation. Facts my friend. We should all give up our delusions of how great hand drawn animation is when the reality is the the world doesn't give a fuck.
Looks at Blood-C for example. The TV series has no CG, lots of hand drawn fights, hand drawn monsters, good direction. It sells like 1k per volume. The Blood-C movie is a miserable pile of trash, with tons of awful CG everywhere, but yet people are so enthralled by the extra dimension that it sells several times what the series did, even with worse direction.
Let's close the 2D industry down for good. No point wasting everyone's time and effort on low wages to release stuff no one really wants.
Really? Not until this problem concerning VFX is fixed. Period. And Japan has shit for brains VFX and CGI outside of one company. They already doing the same shit with 3D CGI animation (see Green Lantern) that they have done for years in 2D. I keep saying it. They have a marketing PROBLEM not a tool problem.
Several times what the TV series sold is still bad, LOL.
I guess you could explain part of the success with Clone Wars with CG. It's one of the most popular TV series in America and I think part of that is contributed to the CG style.

But something objectively worse is factually more financially viable. That means it's OVER. There is no more hope for the world. Burn it all down.

This feels quite different from Futari Wa Precure. Stylistically I'm not sure if I like it that much, although the facial expressions are quite a lot of fun. Reminds me of Princess Tutu sort of. The girls in their normal state look alright but are very much improved as Precures.
Musically I like it very much, and the transformation music is definitely my second favorite (after Suite). Tsubomi is adorably shy and Erika is brash and loud, so I guess I personally empathize with her the most, at least so far. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the Desertrians yet, uttering all those negative feeling things. It gives off a weird vibe. The perfume transformation device is pretty funny. This show is not bashful about marketing to girls at all whatsoever. Mascot wise, Coffret/Chypre>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mepple/Mipple. By a good god damned country mile.

Its Star Wars. Period. It would have sold either way. Its the name brand not the animation its wrapped in.
Well, Paperman was very well-received...
And history has proved that popular opinion is infallible...

Just let me get the gasoline.
Paperman is half way solution to a problem that Disney doesn't have. You talking about one company who has all the best VFX and CGI people in the fucking planet. Of course they gonna quit on there bread and butter business.
I don't understand why you're so upset. All I did was give you the future of anime that you wished for.
I hope Porun is at the very far right of that list.
Watched two episodes before dropping it. Just didn't hold my attention.
Still on my to watch list, keep putting it off for some reason. I'll get around to it.
Thanks!
I'm not saying that the SW license didn't have a part in the success. I'm saying that the CG might've had greater appeal to the audience than traditional 2D animation style.
I was talking more about the audience than the creators... Disney can fuck themselves for all I care, I'm tired of them be it 2D or 3D.

Ah yes but people could clearly tell, subconsciously, that it was created with superior CG technology.
