I'm not saying I'm emo about stuff not happening, but I like most series that people don't and don't like most series that people absolutely love. I just finished typing up my "rant" and realized that I generalized what most people said on there. I'm trying really hard to see these announcements as "half full" for Funi to branch out, but it's sometimes hard for me to say sincerely. I'm definately not going to mock them or anything, but I will acknowledge my overall disappoinment for a week that should not have been hyped as much as it was. It wasn't misleading or anything, but it ended up being less stellar than most people want to admit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077464351349923045.post-86634616310507724202010-01-08T18:39:03.833-08:002010-01-08T18:39:03.833-08:00I haven't been overwhelmed either but I have t...I haven't been overwhelmed either but I have to give them credit for getting a lot of fans fired up and preparing money makers. Sadly, the longer I think about it, the more I think any series they've got that has a sequel that hasn't already been licensed by them probably isn't being licensed due to low sales.<br /><br />If I have time next week (I'm going out of state soon) I'm going to post my "Why Richard J. Almost Left Anime Fandom Rant." It's more or less about everything I hate about the fandom and industry but ultimately becomes a moving tribute to consumerism.<br /><br />Or something.Richard J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02900584044204209540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077464351349923045.post-17688015470450256702010-01-08T17:24:48.339-08:002010-01-08T17:24:48.339-08:00Personally, this whole week was a disappointment. ...Personally, this whole week was a disappointment. I am not really interested in any of these titles and highly doubt I will purchase a single one. Funi kind of dropped the ball with the first two days with just live action stuff, but in my opinion they didn't recover from it. Sure, I'm a little disappointed none of my picks were mentioned, but when nothing they announce interests me, it makes me slightly sad. I'm probably going be more wrathful on my blog.<br /><br />I hope these titles do well for Funi and gives them more money and stuff. Sounds like Hetalia and FLCL are more or less the highlights of the week, and I hope the others do well as well. I looked at the announcements from last year and the only one that interested me was Soul Eater (which admittedly I wouldn't have cared about when announced either), yet I find things I want to buy from them often. Heck, I just bought 7 or so titles from Rightstuf just yesterday. Maybe its a good thing considering cash will be tight for me pretty soon.<br /><br />I haven't heard about Sensei possibly being licensed by MB. They would be my second choice for releasing it, hopefully dubbed if they in fact have acquired it. After doing some quick research it looks like an unverifiable for now. If its true about that and Moyashimon, then I will be intrigued at that time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077464351349923045.post-40266922827995531602010-01-08T16:50:00.105-08:002010-01-08T16:50:00.105-08:00I have heard a lot of Hetalia, it seems ok. It'...I have heard a lot of Hetalia, it seems ok. It's length seems a little short. It will sell, but it seems more a massive fan girl anime. <br /><br />Blacksmith too me, actually looks the most interesting of all the titles. But I will have to look into it. <br /><br />I wanted Toradora, but I had a feeling it Funimation wouldn't "get it". But it seems, even the economy is greatly effecting Funimation. Since they got no Geonon sequels, or "top" name anime. I'm more surprised they didn't go for any of their own titles originally, sequels. <br /><br />I'll be watching Spice & Wolf, some time in March. So I'll probably have to wait for your review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077464351349923045.post-86464366638883979212010-01-08T14:25:16.028-08:002010-01-08T14:25:16.028-08:00I'm not entirely sure how to describe my thoug...I'm not entirely sure how to describe my thoughts on these.<br />Hetalia has "the next Ouran" written all over it. I may see it at some point, I'm not really sure. At least it's sure to sell well with all the fans of it out there.<br />And the Blacksmith anime seems kinda meh, but I may look into it.<br /><br />Looking forward to the Spice and Wolf review! I'm currently watching that and am nearing the end. It's been pretty fun so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
