This podcast is a proud member of the Blueberry Network. That is Blueberry with no ease.com. Blueberry with no ease.com. Remember, you drop the ease. You're listening to The Bonsai Beat, your weekly window into the world of anime, featuring all the latest news, episode reviews, and discussion. And now, broadcasting live from an abandoned love hotel. Your hosts, pets, and Jellicoon. Welcome to episode 25 of The Bonsai Beat. We're back after a month. A lot of stuff has happened. We've got news, reviews, and patch tonight's east storm. All the time. Hi, everybody. It's me. I have 13. Go me. Hey. I don't have-- I could check. I don't think I have quite that many. I have maybe two. That's still going in the next promo of the show. But I don't download one. Did you have videos or is it all like Dojinshi? Um, most of it is Dojinshi. Do you have any animated stuff like actual movies? Maybe like one episode? Oh, see, I've never even watched any of that stuff. That just seems like one step too far for me. OK. Or something. You know what I mean? Wow. I like games. You do? See, see, I've-- See, I've never-- I've never gotten a chance to try any. Yeah, same here. Mainly because I have a Mac. Yeah, a Mac or gay. You know what you should do? You should post one of those games up. I'm going to try. I've always been kind of curious. To try any of them, like a light novel or whatever. Probably not one of the books. Visual novel. Visual novel, yeah. Oh, I can upload one. Cool. I mean, we don't promote piracy on this show. Piracy bad. Pirate every game. Piracy's bad. I don't believe in piracy. Wink, wink. It's OK to pirate PSP games. That's it. Oh, so you're giving me shit about my Xbox 360. PSP's OK. I'm getting my-- Why is that? I don't know, because-- Because there's so many good things for Japan, you can't get in America. You can't play-- I downloaded-- You can't play the Gundam game. Yeah, exactly. You can't play the Gundam game in America. Well, actually, you can buy it. PSP's region free. But you won't under-- Oh, wait. That doesn't make any sense. Who cares? You just look at the pictures. You won't understand it, because it'll be in Japanese. So the man with the 13 gigabytes of porn is an AC Storm. Yay. Yes. That's all going in the next promo of the show. And an AC Storm. I have 13 gigs of it. Come here, Ty. That's a decent amount, man. That is quite a bit. Hell, I don't even have that much, if any. That'll last me a few weeks. Check out 3X by 3X2. That's a very good hand tie. It has a decent story. And then there's some random sex. Oh, as you know, it's a story that matters. Yes. And then there's just random porn everywhere, for no reason. There's chick who's like a nymphomania. And she's like, I need dick. So they have sex with her. And then one of the guys-- It's all like so. Yeah, exactly. But you know what's better? Doctor-- you're going to check out Doctor Oganki. All right, let's stop talking about this. No, because it's fucking hilarious. You will laugh your ass off. I will send you some after the show. You will laugh your fucking ass off. Anyway. Let's get to the news. We haven't done any for a month. And actually, after a month of not having-- I really need much. Yeah, I only pick about five different stories. Yeah, not even. There really wasn't that much. I mean, there wasn't-- Fine, we'll do this. If there's anything in the last month that you feel that noteworthy, fucking say something. Oh, what? What? Yeah, ninjas. Yes, duh. Yeah, Janelle. Today's Joel's party, but the letter the-- Well, other kill. Letter K and Q and M. OK, go ahead and re-kill. Just fucking kill. Fine, fucking kill. Stop with your other letters. So anyway, Funimation started suing retail sites over bootlegs. Oh, yes. OK, so discountanimadvd.com. Yes, because that's just a reputable source. And I buy all my shit from discountanimadvd.com. They actually did sell some legit stuff, to be honest. But they sold a ton of bootleg stuff next to all the legit stuff. That'd be pissed off if I was buying from them. They're like, what the fuck? This is an eBay? It's a little-- it's like, yeah, it's like buying it on eBay. It might look legit, but you don't have any way to know. Well, fuck yeah, I bought one thing off of eBay. I got-- I was like, oh, this is badass. And then I popped in my DVD plan. I'm like, why is it Korean subtitles? Why are the discs gold on the back? Exactly. I was like, god, but it looks fucking perfect. It's kind of nice. But yeah, I know what's a-- I know they've gone down. Or discountanimadvd websites down now. I'm pretty sure, yeah. Well, let's see. When you're getting-- you know, you're getting-- I'm pretty sure they put the big dent on your business. And I know I saw one post on the AOD forums of a guy. discountanimadvd had this nice business practice of charging you for everything right away. Oh, what the fuck? So some people-- God, screw me. --have ordered stuff and then right when they got shut down and just lost their money. Oh, what the fuck? What you need to do is call your credit card company and tell me to charge back. Yeah. But-- But still, why? It gets about time someone went after these fuckers. Well, that's true. They've been sitting around for years doing this. So it's not-- well, why now, I wonder. What was it that broke the camel's back? I don't know. They just got bored and you don't fuck them. The lawyers need something to do. Oh, here's a DVD site. OK, good. I think they were given plenty of time to the way prices are now. Could have easily gone legit if they wanted to. The lawsuit says that they send a season to sis letter. No, ma'am. And they'll be able to respond or to seize the advertising or distribution of the works. Yeah, basically. So all four of the sites that got shut down owned by the same guy. Yeah, they all got their ass shut down and they gone now. Wonder how much the guy made. I'm sure he's made plenty of money. Yeah, definitely. He was, at least. Buy one copy and make several more, a thousand more. It's like, man, fuck her. I'm doing about that site forever, man. I don't remember that site. I'm way back in the day. Why don't you call a phonomation about it? You should have called him out. I'm sure phonomations know about it forever, too. I don't doubt that they know. Your lawyers are just busy doing that. They're very busy with other things, maybe. There's possibility of that. I don't know. Why are you letting me talk in circles? Someone else say something. I mean, good job. That's a good-- that's a good rebuttal there, Patz. You're the one that's letting me talk in circles. Yeah, you're the one who just keeps talking. Well, you know, one's giving me any-- I'm giving you all plenty of time to stop me. You all don't. Stop me. I don't know. Phonomation, until they say they had a good leading profit, just recently, they came out with their quarterly results. And a var did. A company that, though. It was funimation. Infinimation basically helped push Navarre into the green from what it sounds like. They're making a killing off of all these Jennion titles. The Jennion titles, and then all their 80V shit's probably going to be making a bunch of money soon, too. They're redoing-- like I got the box set of Giver, which is one of the titles they lost, that 80V lost. And it's got all the 80V materials on it. It's got the dub and everything. But they redid the disks. Oh, OK. Anyway, that funimation likes to do it, where it's four disks for 26 episodes, and then a fifth disk with the extras on it. So they just re-authored. That's nice. Yeah, they re-authored them with six or seven episodes on a disk. It was pretty funny, though, seeing-- I was watching the Karen DVD last month, and coming from Jennion, hell girl, coming soon. December, October of '07, or you know what I mean. It's kind of crazy to see all that stuff. Those old disks. With the old stuff, it was all on it. Just old stuff that was sitting in the warehouse. They just shipped back out, like with that. But yeah, I'm happy. There's tons of shit I bought. Oh, hell yeah, I mean-- I got the Shauna Box set, and I've gotten the Zero No Succima Box set, both of which sitting over there. And I see, did you see that tweet I made? I think you did. That the Zero No Succima Box set under genre was Sundair. Oh, I saw that. As the genre. It says comedy and Sundair. Where? On the back of the disks. On the back of the cases. It says comedy, and Sundair. Yeah, on all the disks in at the bottom of the set, it says it. It's a genre now, eh? Apparently, yes. It's not a character to write any more to genre. Incidentally, the Shauna sets do not say that. And the Shauna set does not say that, but I'm guessing-- Why the hell not? No, no, Shauna came out first. So it's older. I'm guessing that's why. But now it's a genre, so it's free for way too much crap to come out, I guess, is the best way to put it. Well, yeah, as long as I get more Shauna and Zero No Succima, I'll be happy. Next week, there are 17 DVDs coming out. The week after that, there's even more. And the week after that, there's just as much. Yeah, for the nation's really so much. There is so much coming out. There's a lot I want to. So I know. Darker than Black is coming out. No, I'm not getting that. I'm looking girl in Lagoon. I'm going to get Guren. I'm not going to get darker than Black. Darker than Black, I'm going to wait. It's probably going to come out in Blu-ray in like a year, and I'm going to wait for it to come out on Blu-ray. You know you're cave. No, I won't. Look him on with a complete box set, and you're like, oh, God. I didn't cave on Samurai 7, and that's coming out on Blu-ray in a very soon. So I'm going to get that on Blu-ray. The fourth is strong with this one. Which I'm looking forward to. All right. It has some Blu-ray, man. Well, already then. Blu-ray. The anime's going to be what expands my Blu-ray collection quite a bit, hasn't really yet. But I've only got two Blu-ray discs at the moment. I've got 300 and Shinobi from Funimation. I'm really wondering if the Blu-ray is going to finally take off this next year. I mean, I've been looking over the Black Friday deals. You can get Blu-ray players now for $77. You know, they're dropping in price for the Black-- Still say if you want a Blu-ray player, you buy a PS3. Well, yeah. But not everybody wants a gaming system. I don't think PS3 necessarily needs to be bought to play games, though. No, I understand. I think it's a great media center. That's true, too. I mean, I picked up my freaking NAS drive and automatically mapped everything. When I buddy brought his over, I was like, huh. Xbox doesn't fucking do that. Xbox, you got to fucking have a proprietary software and tell it to do it. Xbox is gay. Yes, hey, not for gaming, it isn't. But you know, I don't know. Maybe we'll start seeing a shift in the Blu-ray for more anime. Oh, absolutely. A lot of it's now being done. Anime is the one that animates. The problem with anime is I don't know how there's a fear in the Japanese companies of reverse importation of Japanese people buying the cheaper American discs. Oh, well, Jesus Christ. We're a few more. We have a-- No, Blu-ray isn't region free. America and Japan are in the same region. Oh, really? Yes. Oh, but still, we're in a global economy. Come on. Yeah, well, still, you buy two episodes on Blu-ray there for a lot more than you're going to buy for here. And that's-- I mean, don't get me wrong. It's probably a moot point because it's not exactly hard to get around region and coding on DVDs. Exactly. But stuff starting to come. Samurai 7 is coming out on Blu-ray. Bandai's got some stuff coming out on Blu-ray. Shiguru from Funimation is coming out on Blu-ray. Hopefully, ADV in the future will announce some Blu-ray stuff, probably something like clarinet on Blu-ray. Oh, that'd be badass. I know I saw-- what is it? Die Buster versus-- Gun Buster versus Die Buster? Yeah, that's on the band. The Gody movie. Yeah, there's some of that stuff coming out. That would be cool to see Clannad and the shows that were originally done in HD 720 be brought over in that quality. Personally, I have not seen a Blu-ray anime. I haven't seen a true HD quality. Like, so to me, I'm very skeptical. If you see something that was done in HD on Blu-ray in the anime, I can understand where you get that feeling. But you will see the difference. I'm guessing, because I watched, like recently, I got HD cable, and I watched, like, the Simpsons. Oh, well. No, no, I'm just saying, for an example. I saw the Simpsons on basic. Oh, no, I know. The Simpsons even animated in HD now? No, it's still on full screen. But I mean, even seeing the HD versus the standard definition version, I could see that the briders were a lot color. Things were more defined. It wasn't blocky or anything like that. Something I guess I can kind of guess. What I can kind of guess, you know, seeing an anime in HD, or anything, I guess it could say. The quality. And download an HD episode. Yeah, I could. I precked it, and stuff. It's on it. It's on it, HD. It's like, I watch the "Forget and Gundam" episode every week. Those are HD. Oh, cool. I'll check it out here tonight then. There's plenty of blue right here, because I want that around Japan, and then I don't have-- I would love to do R2, but it's not sobbed. And I'm not going to watch something. I don't have to do it. Some stuff's sobbed. It's seldom, though. Yeah, exactly. I really think-- It's getting more and more, but it's-- Oh, it is. OK, I was going to say. I think they should be doing more and more. I mean, like-- It's going up the amount, but not much. It depends on the thing. Any of those-- that shit that Bandai has coming out, or the Hanamise stuff, like the Gunbuster versus Diebuster, or the Freedom, that has English dub, Japanese-- I can't remember if it has a French dub or just subs. But they're the identi-- the discs coming out here are the exact same discs coming out there. And the price is the other thing, too? No. Price is cheaper here. It's cheaper here, and that's where that whole reverse importation thing. Yeah, but I mean, like-- Comes in. But I don't know, like, yeah, but what about, like, the dilution of the dollar, and I don't know, whatever. That's another problem, isn't it? Yeah. I'm just expensive. Yeah. That's why my models are getting more expensive, which sucks ass. Well, I just heard a thing-- I just heard a thing the other day that Japan is struggling because the dollar is so frickin' weak. Because Japan's economy is so closely tied to ours. Oh, definitely. Well, that. And, like, look at how much the economy is, like, electronics, and, you know, when times get tough. Do I want to buy a piece? Yes. Or do I want to buy food, you know? I don't get to, you know, import rice. I can't go to the store and buy Japan rice. I can. Yeah. Anyway. Probably buy Japan rice. Yes. Right from Japan. Do you want to take the next story? What, next story? You don't have any of the stories loaded. Oh, I have stories loaded. We were talking news, apparently. Yeah, we were, apparently. When we start talking about news. We just kind of film it. So, aren't you, role? There you go. God, um. What comes you're all get? Damn. It got something. Oh, those towy ships. Partnerships. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like this. So, the North Star and some other. And Digimon Adventure Zero Two. Oh, yeah, Digimon. What else does it have? Damn. Slam dunk. Slam dunk. That's cool. Slam dunk kicks ass. Yeah. It's quiet. Slam dunk kicks ass. We all just leave. Never washed it. Oh, it kicks ass. You can't watch it. You should watch it. Sports anime. I've grown to get a bit of an affinity for now. Sports mongas and anime. They're like, they're. The closest sports anime I've seen is freaking see was a gun. I don't know if you can really classify it. Sports. No, that doesn't count. Well, I guess it almost, no. They ran track together. Yeah. It's not the same. Yeah, I hear you. The drama of the team and the win. Yes. And Slam dunk kicks ass. We do fits in the North Star. It's like, all right, I don't give a shit about watching these streamed on fucking Crunchy Roll. Release them on fucking DVD already and I'll buy them. I will buy Slam dunk. Oh, I'll probably will too. But I will buy Slam dunk. I will buy Fist of the North Star. If you just released them on DVD. I know people on anime on DVD are like definitely number one, between their one and five pick. It's like visit the North Star. Yeah. Well, the thing is, anime on DVD is not very well of reflection on the actual. No, I know. Those are the hardcore otaku. They're a certain group. Yeah. I know. Those are the guys who say they'll buy very obscure movie vehicles from the late '80s on DVD. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Man. Yeah. Eat man. Eat man. It's such a kick ass mother. But anyway. What a creepy name. But a guy who can eat anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And Reaper in, expel it from his hand. Basically. Hold on. I don't know. Eat this hot dog and feed him here. Yeah. No, he eats like bolts and stuff. Okay. So he'll eat like a gun and then he can make the gun re-materialize out of his hand. But what's the purpose of it though? Does he hide? Does he go to prison and hide stuff with my or something? Well, he can hide stuff in his body and transport stuff in his body and that kind of thing. It's really bad ass. But anyway. It's something I used to have to see. Yeah. You have to see it. It's really awesome. Yeah. Eat man. Eat this Hummer and protect it for a while. Gotta cross enemy lines. Yeah. Right. What's on the, what else is going on there? I see storm. Yeah. What else is going on there? I see storm. And then just for a little bit, live action on the weathers with Leonardo DiCaprio's company, right? Yeah. I don't know what it's called. I hear it. It's got a weird theme. Yeah. Yeah. Appian? Yeah. I think it's APN, APN Way. That's APN Way and the Watchmen film scriptwriter will work on it too. Yeah. Yeah, well, this APN Way said they were working on Akira. So once I hear about that, I'll believe something will come out of this. So. Well, no. I mean, don't get me wrong, they're picking some of the good stuff to do adaptations of. I mean, just scroll is not actually that great. It's popular because it came out pretty early and it was really violent. If it bleeds, it's popular. It was really violent. So apparently Leonardo DiCaprio likes someone working at his production company really likes anime. Yeah. Well, I don't know. If it's him-- Wasn't it just rolled down by someone in the States anyway? Oh, no, sorry. That's Witchblade. I'm sorry. Never mind. Got Witchblade messed up with it, my bad. Anyway. Anyway, yeah. I don't know. There's some other crap going on. Not really too much. Other stuff. I tried out Oron. How'd you like it? It was tolerable. I used to want to check it out. You said it was funny. It was funny. Then what's with tolerable makes it sound like it's average. It was average. Actually, no. It wasn't bad. I actually want to buy it now, but I don't have the money for it right now. You never have money. Sell your manga. And then buy it. Where the hell am I going to sell my manga? You don't want to fucking pawn America. Yeah. I got all these books. Because those are me. All right. You're going to buy it. You can have everything for the same price I paid for. Oh, fuck that. You have to pay shipping, though. Hell no. Books are worth 10 bucks a pop. I'll get a crate. Well, what are some of the things you bought? Let me see. It's over there. It's on the other side of my bedroom. I can't even see it from here, man. When I got the invoices on my computer, Aria, I got Aria. I already have Aria. You should have it twice. Let's see what else did I have. The kingdoms. I bought the first two 12 kingdoms novels. Don't know what the fuck that is. Oh, next to me. They're at their box. They're novels. Why not? I'm saying it. It's an old one. Yeah. There's an anime based on it. Yeah. Based on it. A couple volumes of GTO. GTO is-- Oh, I'm going to buy my friends copies of that. You got the book. Everything in the show? Oh. Oh, man. That's so good. I just got the fifth volume of spiral volume. There's two and three of sundown. Oh, do you have three now? Yeah. I haven't read it yet, though. Oh, OK. I got the first volume of the Haruhe manga. Oh, I need to get that. I wasn't too-- I haven't read it yet, but I was flipping through it and the art wasn't really selling me. You wasn't computer generated. I got the first volume of With the Light. Sounds like crap. Have you heard of it? You should have. No. It's about-- people raising an autistic child. Oh, that's just a massive killer fun to read. That's interesting. Yes. I've heard a lot of things. I suppose. Aria, get backers. I got a lot of Gundam stuff. I caught up on all the Gundam stuff. Yeah, fuck Gundam. Yeah. That's not very nice. Yeah, we went there. We said it. Eh. It's OK. Yes and else that's a lot of it. Oh, well Not much I think I'm really interested in it is how do you? Damn you should buy it all anyway. She just buy all my books Even if I did I would have no place to put it. I don't have anywhere to put them. It's the problem I gotta buy some shelves. That's my problem. I got one DVD case.

I'm sorry She's downstairs Hey, I pay all my bills. I pay for my school and My man, I don't think about what I want to buy. Where exactly? Yeah, I didn't ask her for money. Yeah. Well, there you go. Good job. Yeah, exactly I've been watching Toradora That's really about it. I've been wanting to I've started watching a little bit more of my run my one-half But I mean, I'm only in the second season and already it's pretty fucking boring I saw that coming. Yeah, I did everyone said - I've been reading about it. Yeah, it starts out really cool, but It just kind of it stops being fun. Yeah Toradora though. I gotta say I've been loving it. Yeah, I'm sure you have I'm sure Mr. Icy Storm quiet over there You could be like holy shit. Toradora is friggin awesome Yeah, there you go, okay. He loves it. Obviously as you can tell from all the enthusiasm in his voice He's too busy plug. I can't beat media or BTX mania now, whatever Yeah Do you have it Pat? You got off with me? Oh, yeah, I guess so I want I've started watching the guy for a box that that I got I'm an enjoy I've watched like six episodes of that. I've been Slowly working through that recently once I finish that I'm gonna move on to something else. I have sitting on my shelf I don't see myself at this point. I don't see myself actually watching anything else fans sub to some this season Well, I'm gonna get the clannad after story just cuz I mean I finished clannad recently, but I just haven't had any attention to watching it So, I don't know we're not in touch. I mean, I'll get I'll get to that someday Yeah odds are for me it might end up being and won't happen until like the DVDs come out that I watch it But it's like it's like I'm keeping up with Gundam That's because it's Gundam and that's like it at this because I just I don't know I have a hard time keeping up with fans up stuff anymore It's don't it's like it's there used to be I come I'd be feverishly keeping an eye on The release is waiting for something waiting for the new shit to come out dying to watch it. I don't get that anymore It's I'd rather watch my DVDs or something like that. I Think so for me that I just don't want to fucking read. I don't have to just relax on the couch Oh, I watch almost everything subbed, so that's not it for me. Well, you can sit back on your couch and read I can't I don't know if that's an a half for me. It's an a half for you. Well. Yeah, I'm just kind of bummed off anyway What about you I see snore mister quiet over there Don't make me hack your fucking computer turn off the explorer. I will I don't use I would explore The fuck you Two episodes of a kind of need so mad us a guy and I've been oh, I watch two episodes of that and then I was done The second day second. They did that in that little imply thing. Oh, she's not really his sister. I'm like, okay I'm done with this show. I should watch it because of that because I want I like I like the sister, but um See I was interested in it because it seemed like it was The feeling I got from it at first was oh, it's one of those shows where it's just the drama is them coming together not the drama is some Sorry love triangle that everything has to have now I'm I I'm tired of that. I don't need a love triangle. Let me just see something where it's a Slowly building relationship kind of thing and I want to go heck the gun Yes, I want to love hexagon Yes, I hear Anything else you want to say for I want to move to another subject What else are you watching? I cut you off on my wild teeth of tail melodies kind of gee. How is that? Are they keeping they keeping the same kind of? F Or F. Oh, it's a pronounced F. Um, that's what I heard even then someone pointed out to me that in one of the previews or something The person says yes, so I'm just confused. I'm just gonna say Yeah, yeah, we're actually yeah, you're right. I remember here in the same thing. Yeah, yeah Anyway, so they do keep the same style because I found it very confusing to cut I mean throughout the live live with spear and find posts about it and it'll clear some stuff up, but Yeah, it's the same kind of presentation You know, that's cool like melody memories. You'll probably like I never finished it. I haven't watched the memories I'm halfway through it. I That's that's one of those I probably will probably get on DVD when it someday gets licensed possibly in the future, maybe Not much from shaft has yet from the scene, so Like at all I can't I can't I can't well I can't really think of many other shows, but I can't think of any others that has been released in the US No, no one else obviously can Well, I mean granted the only shows I can think of off the top of my head from them. Are we are if he'd a Mario and sign ours that's supposed to say Yeah, I'll be honest. I don't really look at I don't really care who the fuck makes what? I'm just like hey, I'd like to show her. I don't like to show so Toradora I'm liking but I Wish they'd just either they'd stop prolonging shit and be like either gonna go together or they're not gonna go together Well, obviously you're in the wrong genre if that's what you want me to introduce a new care I don't know what to expect. Yeah, I I mean How the new character kind of fits in everything, but that's um Tiger like I don't I wouldn't consider her the same as Shawna or Louise, so I'm kind of happy about that See I think I'm new to this genre. I've not seen anything I don't know what to really expect. I Haven't seen Shawna or I haven't seen anything really you'd like it. I guess I Mean name a couple of the shows. I'm not I Don't say in tack with kind of genres at all. I like something like this is new to me Something I don't know I keep meaning to get around to watching it What's a good show? It's one of those shows that like starts off really good and keeps going really good One of those shows like oh, I don't I won't watch it. I'm gonna watch it like a prude is the thing Cuz it's like I started with a novel. So I'm gonna watch it like a prude nitpicking on everything Nothing like it. Oh I really like the novels Yeah, do it. I think better was my life. Might as watch watch Tori Dora Or I could watch on I don't know one of these mini Lovely sci-fi shows. I have sitting on my DVD show. You can watch skit beat, which I'm liking a lot. Go Well, yeah, I know that's one that I was almost sort of interested in You know what I mean? I have and by the way, I do have the first season of battle circle act to gone DVD But yeah, I tried to watch it and I didn't like it. So I Got for like I just try to use one out the baseball ones. Oh, I want to I haven't gotten around to Okay, I have not watched the second episode which is just sitting on my hard drive It's all right. So what what what what is it like is it like the player is disabled or he sucks at baseball? And they got to come together and he's gonna get better. No, that's not what one ounce. Yeah, I'm asking What's their premise of it like it's like I know what's a baseball anime something about betting Some getting some weird Yeah, okay, duh duh duh. Yeah, I remember you talking about during our last show where they were like It's a game and if you don't if you lose you die, it's a money. No, okay. I money. That's all money Yeah, that's one. I've been me. That's one that I actually am kind of interested in checking out possibly in the future You either win or you really fucking broke for the rest of your life Which sounds pretty cool to me, so yeah, I'll have to check that one out. It's like I've checked out. I'm not really sure. Oh Damn, it's in with the other one. I need another show. I need another show to blow. I've checked out Kanagi, that's another one. I've checked out. Yeah I've only watched two episodes though. I have to get around and watch some more of it. I Will I've got one I think I will stick to I will fine God Oh, I find oh, you know what else I finished but while we all more away. I finally finished um So say no Aquarium I finished Aquarium, eh? Yeah, which Was so well good bad, you know it thums in the middle in the middle. I think The ending wasn't in the middle. I think it's the best way to mine it so when I was in it It's like inconclusive, but it's kind of gay at the same time Yeah, I wasn't had an ending. I don't well. I should say I don't regret buying it Let's put it that way. There you go. So so I enjoyed it. Well, we were away. I've run this up I've run this by pads. Do you? Yes, I don't know what you're talking about. So you're a bad memory. You're too busy by an anima anime manga One of the questions I thought would be a really cool discussion Oh, I still don't know what we're talking about. Oh, she's No, yeah, I haven't talked to you about it. I see Some of us now. What do you mean? No, no, no, no, what do you guys think like with all these DVDs now that are coming with a sub only like I started watching anime dubbed only You know a lot of people started watching anime dubbed only, but now you know the cost that cost cutting to Bring the anime over quicker from Japan You know more and more is becoming sub only Do you think that's going to be hurting the American anime none terms of sales, but like bringing on new fans? No new fans in you know like we're you know, they can just flip on the TV watch something in English No, and I'm gonna tell you why because most not I'm gonna say 90% of the stuff That's coming sub only is very very niche stuff Like aria is coming sub only That would not appeal to the man. It's exactly getting you fans. Yeah Um, I'm trying to think of any others off the top of my head simoon was sub only Strawberry panic was sub only Oh, what else oh Robin fighter Mickey What else was sub? Um, it's all it's rocket girls coming out from band-eye sub only Uh, I can't think of any more off the top of my head. Um Yeah, I know what you're saying. Basically my point is it's all niche stuff and it's not stuff that You would use to bring in new fans the second half of gal gaga was sub only That's one that I have that's not a show you would use to bring in new fans You would not use aria to bring in new fans. These are not shows that would air on tv and Don't get me wrong. I will say there are probably some fans who will not buy these shows because they're sub only I know they exist But I understand where the logic in that comes in aria is a show that is it guaranteed sell for A few thousand people maybe Like I see your eye. Yeah, it's not a guaranteed sell. I really got the shelf at best buy randomly Do you think it just seems like we're getting a lot more sub Or do you know we're getting a lot more so because like I see where you guys are coming from a lot more shows Is that what you're asking? Are we getting more shows lately? Do you think it just seems like we're getting more just because you know, we're reading the news we're seeing a breast of information Uh, it's a tough question. But when you walk down the aisle of best buy or Cruz, uh, you know write stuff dot com You know, I don't know I don't know I'm going to say yeah, I think they're especially recently because of everything that's happened recently It's just like we're just getting dumped on was in my opinion. It's like I knew that you like okay. I look like I was shocked to see nanoha Dubbed because it's been it's been said for so long. We're getting nanoha. We're getting nanoha a's and it's like I thought like what I freaking finally saw yay the 13th of this month We finally get the first box set of nanoha I went like I had to do a double take like holy shit. It's dubbed and it's a complete box set They're not spanning alms. I thought well fuck it, but it just said screw it No, first. Funimation has a policy of not releasing sub-only discs Or in that alone is Funimation just doesn't do it. It's like one of their stances. They just don't at this point at least I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't bet that they wouldn't change that stance Because I mean I it was like double fucking negative, but um Well, you know, I don't know. It's just that's where I know I and I'm pretty sure like nanoha and stuff That stuff was finished in production a long time ago, but no forever, but yeah But I mean like I was just thinking like I was looking over the DVD from for the until the next year It was like parts even one part one box that box. That's the other thing. Well, actually I'm sure like That's the other thing I wanted to say was there's there's that part logic coming I'm sure there's more people that watch subs online without paying for it than the people that buy it I mean I know of all the people that I know personally that watch anime only maybe a couple own anime DVDs so I don't think It's too much of a problem that they release So lonely Sub-only yeah, I can see where that logic comes in And I mean I'm not complaining. I it's not going to stop me. I I watch 90 percent of my stuff 70 percent of my stuff sub And I watch some stuff dubbed I watch dub it possible I would rather sit back on my coach and relax Yeah, well, you got bad eyes. That's true. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm legally blunt But I mean still I don't know japanese you still have to read it. He had to sit there and read What's going on? I'd rather just relax with a ball pop on and be like, hey, I've gotten so used to it now that it's not even a thing for me Yeah, I hear you it's like hell. I I'm more annoyed by fan subs than I am by Sub dvd sub dvd. It's just standard block subs Fan subs get too distracting Yeah, they like to do as many flashy effects as possible and it starts to piss me off That's another discussion now. Yeah Um, so what do you think about all this bad or icy storm? And I think pat got a good good his comments in Like I just want to think like are we early is the anime industry and that's the alienating Newcomers at all because I mean they're doing it to keep their profits up and you know the hardcore Fans right now are saying hey, we get everything a month after japan. This is great Well, look you don't see you see the bigger titles like karate and Death no, yeah, just know they're all dubbed So they're gonna bring in the fans and i'm sure They'll go on this day from the other stuff even if yeah They start buying dub dvd's and whatnot. I'm sure a lot a huge chunk of them to still watch Sub shows online So I don't think they'll mind too much. I mean they're already watching that stuff So, I mean, what's the harm or what's the Big what's the fall? What's the problem with I mean, I mean you get to own Aria on dvd I think that'll own sums it all up, right? Yeah, he wouldn't have gotten that if it had to have a dub But you wouldn't have gotten it is the point is my point And you got that nice set with the postcards and other crap And the picture that you think is too sexual or something Because you hold the girls in Aria by some ridiculous standard pure shadow on my ink Whatever dude Yeah, anyhow, dude It's like i'm happy. I got that. I was happy. I haven't even watched it yet. I got it. Oh, the dvd's yet I'll get to what he meant to all right now. I actually Um, I did some contracting work over this last weekend I actually met a fan server was actually working with me nice guy But I asked him. I'm like do you own any dvd's that no, I don't own anything. I just download everything And I was just kind of floored It's because it's like you're spending your time Translating or water, you know, he did the cleanup and whatnot But it's like you're spending time and energy doing that and you at least can't Buy at least a dvd You just like no, I just download them all it doesn't bother me any Kind of surprised.
