Yep, Jessica Nowack is now... Jesse Nowack. She's done a few things for TFS's ads, even appearing as "Jimothy Bunt" in a Raycon ad. I think they also got her to play Spider-Man in the Kraven shorts Lani did.

Before, Jess was the team's token lesbian. But, just like Ellen Page, that wasn't victimhood enough so now she's a transman to get more pity points.
 
I swear I recall Nowakings trans shit was out in the open just as HUA was close to wrapping up.

I think it was just before the end, because I know she was credited as Jesse in the credits for the final episode. But in the final episode she still sounds like a woman, not doing the boy voice she does now. Imagine being one of TFS' only girls, to the point where they cast you in almost everything when they can't use Megami or Amber... and you decide being a short dude is a better career decision.

Just checked, it came out December 2018 and according to an anime wiki, she came out the same year, though no date was given.

Most I remember Nowa, aside from HUA, was that she did VA for a few MLP fan animations.

Ex wife? I had no idea he got divorced.

Did anyone watch that Hells movie they did? It was an anime movie they did the dub for and I'm pretty sure it's the closest thing to pro work they ever got.

Kaiser voiced Gundam Tanaka in that crappy Danganronpa anime. He was a real step down from Chris Tergliafera.

Apparently Bojack is what caused them to give up. They'd made him loud and over the top in DBZA, but in the actual movie he's more reserved, so they couldn't write him the way they'd been planning to, which is how he appears in HFIL. Rather than, you know, just writing the character to match the footage they had, they gave up.

I wouldn't have so many problems with it if they didn't REPEATEDLY MAKE JOKES WITH BOJACK IN THEM.

You know what would've been a good gag? Bojack comes down to Earth to get revenge on Goku, why? Because Goku blowing up his planet actually killed him, and when takes off the bandana, he has a shitty CGI'd halo.

Funimation directly told them they were not allowed to touch Super.

That was years ago and by the time they got to Super, it would've long been over. Funimation didn't have plans to end Super when this deal happened. If they really wanted to do Buu, and continue after, they have the entirety of GT. They legit just got bored because their egos are so overinflated it's not even funny. They thought they could launch anything and everything failed to pull in numbers and instead of sticking with something through to the end and hoping it got better, they just bailed on everything.

Considering the state of TFS, did she choose incorrectly?

Yes.

I forgot name. Maybe Jessica or Erica or something like that. But she divorced him. Then he became a himbo briefly through working out. Then he got lazy again and his hairline receded so his long hair doesn't work anymore and now he looks like shit. She used to review movies and do some videos with him.

The gender "pay gap" is a direct consequence of women being, on aggregate, neurologically incapable of prioritizing what's good for their career over their short-term comfort, so in an ironic way that's a very woman-coded decision to make.

There are a lot of reasons, none really connected to sexism:
1. Women pick jobs that pay less but are more social and requires less physical strength.
2. Women would ask for less and less likely to demand a pay increase.
3. Women take more time off and sick days than colleagues.

Nowadays though the pay gap flipped around because corpos filled their ranks with female middle managers that spend their time hiring more female middle managers and making everyone around them miserable.

Erica. I remember them doing one video together where the bit was she was acting annoying and distracting him from work.
 
It really feels like TFS is on its last legs.
Their newest update video is an ad to "please go watch their old videos and check us out playing DnD. Sorry about no content for half a year"

It reminds me of Rooster Teeth in a way. They made it big off of abridging and riffing on another well established IP.
Their original content they're sinking money into isn't going anywhere. Horrendous "Anime Inspired" garbage.
The constant political sperging creating even more division in their dwindling fanbase.
And its obvious to everyone that they're running on borrowed time and a supply of good will they've accumulated from a decade ago.

Can't last forever.

I think whats an extra kicker, the only one who aint ready to give up is Kaiser, but thats because he cannot drop his daddy issues. Im pretty sure he'll burn down the studio, before he admits to his dad that the abridge thing ended already.

I think they only vaguely remembered Bojack from watching the movies ages ago and forgot what he was like in the footage until they actually rewatched it and realized "Oh, shit, he's nothing like what we had in mind."

From stuff they've said, they didn't rewatch the episodes or movies until it was time to do them for Abridged. In their commentary, Lani mentions rewatching the Frieza saga for DBZA and being surprised that one episode was just flashbacks of the fight while Goku and Frieza stare each other down and nothing else happening, so they didn't even watch the seasons ahead of time to get an idea for where they were going, which makes some of the delays make sense if they had ideas for where to go, realized they couldn't do them, and then had to come up with a new script.

RT fucked themselves by screwing up AH, RvB and RWBY, but TFS still has the Buu arc that they could go back to if they weren't so proud, stubborn, full of themselves, and worried about making the companies they're trying to get work with mad.

...I do actually have an idea for a Shonen style anime reusing their versions of the characters but with different names and designs so you can't get sued. You have the characters people love in new situations and you can put them on a disc to sell at cons or stream through Crunchyroll. But, $150k for 22 minutes is too much for me. Also, Kaiser would probably demand full control and more money to make the animation 'better'. Also, at this point, people probably don't care anymore.
 
This is just the lifecycle of parody youtube-channels, their usually composed of nerds who really like a specific thing so much they make more content relating to it having genuinely humorous takes on the media that hits off well because of their intimate knowledge of the product, these nerds over the years with their easy occupation and terminally online-ness usually because of how out of touch they become fall into degenerate left wing circles that create a feedback loop on their perception of reality and when the product runs out of episodes to parody or steam their thrown into the wild and produce their own content it usually falls flat or is discordant with the audience because of their humors are now reflective of their current echo chambers of what is allowed to be funny and brought up. They also tend to grow big chips on their shoulders believing after they start putting in some production value into their videos that their genuine artists and start to bring in likeminded sycophants and mediocre production members that goon to the same shit they do and start overly chiming in towards the direction of their content.
This is also seen in the most recent successful parody-youtuber BruvaAlfabusa, his early success was humorous raunchy short warhammer 40k videos parodies that when they started to have production value they started weaving a story on top of it and dropping most of the prior humor that made them big even going back and "re-doing" them so they fall in line with their modern narrative basically drop kicking their initial raunchy mildly edgy premise. Another common theme is their head honcho seem's to be a very amiable but also very weak willed man lead by the nose of his production contributors basically utterly driving the direction of his content to fit in line fanfiction fags and blue sky trannies.
