    It's impossible not to get emotional when it comes to Gurren Lagann.

    The OVAs I'm talking about didn't have a series they were being a sequel to. I'm talking about stuff like Bubblegum Crisis and Key: The Metal Idol.

    Even well before streaming was a thing, plenty of shonens tended to draw things out and end on cliffhangers in order to get people interested in watching or reading the next installment. There were also OVAs which were longer than the standard length of anime episodes at that time because it...

    Kind of messed up that they have kids singing this, but it is a pretty good rendition of it.

    You must've only been watching with it on in the background or something if you didn't notice it constantly being brought up, right through to the end. They shipped both of them with other people, too, but they were also constantly shipped through the whole series.

    I actually liked Rahxephon better than Evangelion for the most part. I was just confused by what exactly happened at the end after the kid had managed to kill everyone he ever knew or loved. :sneaky:

    Because they're all based on D&D.

    So, given what's happened with Right Stuf being bought out by Sony, I'm kind of tempted to give it a shot creating a new company in the same vein, starting out by going after stuff that had been licensed by companies that have since gone bankrupt, and stuff that hasn't been licensed yet. The...

    I found it kind of underwhelming. The pacing tended to be kind of slow, and I found the big twist to be a kind of "well duh." Naturally my anti-government streak didn't much care for the whole secret government organization hunting people down and disappearing or killing them because of their...

    If the people who are running the company are doing it, or are at the very least not disciplining the people who have been doing it, then it is company policy. Both. Sony started getting in the news for censorship due to how they have handled publishing of games, which is to say they either...

    It's an established pattern with both Sony and Funimation.

    It's not that I'm completely confident in fan-subs, it's that I've lost confidence in officially licensed localizers. Sony is notorious for its censorship, which is part of why this latest merger is such a problem. Frankly it makes me feel a lot worse about that Dirty Pair dub that had just...

    Not really. Especially considering the flip side of this is localizers literally bragging about mis-translating something on social media. Or about how their company has censored something.

    Anime & Manga General Anime/Manga Discussion

    Nonetheless, there is enough of a recognizable pattern there with regard to localization companies like Sony and its holdings that I no longer give them the benefit of the doubt and will actively avoid anything made by them. Fan-subs are more trustworthy specifically because fans will call out...

    I used to find them perfectly serviceable and even preferred them. It wasn't until they started getting obvious with censorship and changing the script to inject their politics that I started to become anti-dub.
