I find senjougahara to be freaky. She is one of those girls who don't give a damn about protocols and go for straight attack. Interesting character to watch but having this kinda girl around you will give you heart attack due to her utter lack of concern for social etiquette.

i am not too sure if I gonna have a hard on for a girl who stapled inside of my mouth. I will be more like terrified, even with this blase confession. Bipolar made awesome characters for sure but not in real life if you have to bear the brunt of it.

Rodeo never look so gutsy.

and she still not real

Shinbo is really master of saving money by not animating much. I can count frames in the latest ep. LOL!

Wait lo, are you buying them? Or downloading?

And people were wondering why anime industry is in trouble.

The thing is, if you got something for free don't complain. I can never understand why people still complaining when they getting it for free. If you pay for it, then yes, feel free to complain as much as you want. I understand if you are a student, you can't afford it now but please do buy when you start working or have no issues with money.

But do bear in mind, anime and manga industry do need customer support and money to keep it going. It did not survive on vespene gas or energon cubes. They are legitimate business, not entertainment charity organization.

Just google "Anime Industry in Trouble" and you will get the full picture of the problem now. There is a reason why GONZO, makers of Shangri-La and Saki go bankrupt and will not produce anymore anime in the future (they shut down their online shop and selling surplus DVD cheap now). SEGA and Sony (Aniplex Studio) is producing more and more low quality anime instead of yesteryear's lush production, Pioneer completely withdrawn from industry (makers of some of the best series in early 2000). Gunslinger Girl English manga will be delayed due to ADV USA financial trouble right now.

Cause and effect, things do add up.

There is a real fear that one day, freeloaders will outnumber real customers....anime studio(s) find it more and more difficult to make ends meet. Studio GONZO staff once said that one 20 min anime episode cost about 180,000 USD in production but due to economic downturn, they have to revise the price down to 130,000 USD to get it animated which means less quality production. Small wonder as to why GONZO folded, they have no upcoming projects in 2010 (even Strike Witches 2 is in serious doubt).

The reason I reacted because people are ungrateful bunch. If they did not complain about free stuff that they illegally enjoyed, then I will just shut up. Besides the series have 1 tv and 3 web eps to go. Not much left.

And besides, there is a topic on state of anime industry financial mess, around page 4 or 5.

Sigh, I just writing this because I am disturbed by it. I am not the kinda guy stand at the side and let things slide because it is impolite to remind things if they are wrong. I don't believe in not rocking the boat.

If people forgotten that all of these are luxury not a right, then I am here to remind them of that fact. Simple, whether it is the alpha or the omega.

haiya, why not neko vampire? the best combination.

Which is another Shinbo's creation.

Have you actually deal with a female who is straight forward and brutally honest?

Alright, should I buy the DVD or not? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My budget for anime originals is already close to 1k MYR a month. I cannot go more since I have to budget for other stuffs too.

I dunno yet, I buy it thru my Japanese friend and she ship it over using her diplomatic privileges so no posting charge. She works in Japanese Embassy in KL now.

I don't think the studio give a flying f*** whether you want it faster or not. You not paying for the stuff so why they must layan you? You stupid dickhead.

There are rumors about Nisemonogatari OAD. Anyone can confirm this rumor for sure?
