But if this goes over well, maybe we'll get a proper Umineko adaptation. I sure as hell would like that due to having no ability to play the sound novel, and while I'm slowly reading the manga, it's so dense that I have to take time out to read it, but that means forgetting details so I end up going back and I feel like I'm the one going mad over it lol.

Also no music for the dramatic scenes, that's half of Umineko's appeal. You'd need a lot of episodes to cover it though and I think you'd need a studio like Ufotable to do it justice. They could probably do the darker tone better. I still feel like the main purpose of the manga is to go back and tweak things so it fits his Word of God who Beatrice is reveal. I still feel like it was him being edgy and he didn't decide on it until he saw the fan support. I'm just can't remember if we ever see the two characters in question in the same room, at the same time with someone who acknowledges both of them. Who isn't in on it. Also, pretty sure Kinzo doesn't swing that way, so the servants concern was never necessary.

I don't know, it just felt like and asspull to be edgy. Ryukishi loves that edge.
 
Listeners still sorta kinda sucks ass.

I have friends who always watch the seasonal anime with the shortest name, I believe they drew Island for it's release season. If I remember, the anime really is that bad.

I played thw VN Island when the anime came out. Pretty good story with some good twists (though it takes a while to get there). The only bad thing about it is the ending that, ironically enough, was fixed in the anime (it's not that the ending is bad or leaves too much hanging, but it just feels like it was done to be more symbolic than character driven).

I kinda hope that after Ufotable is finished with Fate/Stay, they'll do Tsukihime. I just hope their head getting in legal and tax problems doesn't kill the studio.

I can't really imagine this happening unless it's to promote the remake finally coming out cause Type-moon itself barely gives a damn about Tsukihime at this point. It hasn't even had a crossover with FGO yet even though Requiem did as a light novel with only one volume out at the time.
 
Was thinking about the manga Desert Rose, from Kaoru Shintani - fan translation updated earlier this month, I find myself wishing, besides that the series was better known in the West that there were English translations of his collaborative crossover series published back in 2006, where the ladies of Desert Rose fought with - or against - characters from other manga, like Shintani's wife Kayono Saeki's title, Akihi , Sukeban Deka, Blazing Transfer Student (which so far is the only one I've found fan-translated into English), and Gunsmith Cats.

As autistic as this probably sounds, I've honestly been pondering the possibility of a new anime company in America and if it could be doable as a small independent outfit initially?

I've been thinking on this, and I might as well write this up.

It's autistic "ideas guy" sperging, so I'll spoiler it if you want to skip it.

Basically, it'd have to have a hook that makes it stand out as a company.

The best way to go about that is to just embrace the edge and make it the "outlaws" of anime dubbing where it's definitely not "woke" and is basically the 2020's equivalent of Central Park Media or Manga Entertainment.

You'd need to get licenses on the cheap from the get-go, but I think there's an untapped market with trying to rescue dead licenses of old OVA Boom titles or see if you can get licenses to obscure older titles from the 80's and 90's that were never dubbed to begin with.

The licenses to most of the more iconic OVA Boom titles like Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D are already taken, but I do think with the proper funding from investors or crowdfunding, you could license or re-license the more obscure or "cult classic" OVA's.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if you could license the old libraries from Media Blasters on the cheap since Media Blasters more or less exists in name only at this point, or go into business with them as one of your partners as they do have a lot of older titles from back in the day. There's the hentai stuff from the Kitty Media brand (and the stuff they got from Central Park Media in the 2000's) as well as older and more obscure anime along with weird horror films and low-budget sci-fi flicks.

The company's ads would just play up the 90's edge and attitude. As cringe and autistic as that would sound, it could work as an intentional nostalgic throwback.

If it's possible, try to get Vic Mignogna as the lead role in your first dub. That alone will be a major draw and you could make a fair bit of money from the ISWV crowd alone.
 
Excited now that the first day of Summer is tomorrow, I’m gearing up to completely watch some good anime that do remind me of summer.

Here’s the new list (just with five for the time being):
-Wakaba Girl
-Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me
-Cat’s Eye
-Harakuna Receive
-Chio’s School Road

On top of the other series I have to finish watching, it should be interesting which one out of these five are pretty memorable.

If you got any room to fit it in, also check out Air--the movie, anyway, though I didn't think the TV series was bad, just too short.

Make the box look like an old school VHS too.

I do have one DVD clamshell that's pretty much the same dimensions as the old ADV Films or Pioneer Entertainment USA VHS clamshells, the Bandai Entertainment "Anime Legends" Escaflowne set, although that series has twice the episodes (and, therefore, probably twice the DVDs) of each season of Minami-ke.

I've seen the first episode ofWataten and it seemed to me like a worse version of a Uchi no Maid that had delightfully dark jokes. Also a kickass ending theme:
