My memory is blurry. I remember the main character was a young girl with orange hair. She and her freinds traveled from planet to planet.
The evil character was a fat woman.
This is all I remember :/
hmm, i didn't realize Final Fantasy XV may not have a playable female character, they could have added a very boyish female character. however maybe Square is up to something given Mevius Final Fantasy

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ HotD is "borderline pornographic" now? I have to wonder whether these people even know the meaning of the words they are using. Of course, the original isn't English, so it could be a mistranslation, but if it's accurate, then they've pretty seriously misunderstood the definitions of at least one of the two words.
I'm going to go ahead and say that the average anime aficionado/otaku has a completely different perception of what is "borderline pornographic" than the average person.
Just... be aware that your understanding of the words is most likely very different from other people's understanding of the words. Case in point, the argument over what is considered NSFW (though that hasn't popped in awhile).
@Yuuki My understanding of the words is based on the dictionary definitions of them. I realize that other people frequently misunderstand them, but that doesn't make me wrong.
NSFW is a different case entirely, since no one seems to know what exactly it means. But pornography is a well-defined concept that some people just don't understand (deliberately or otherwise)
- Akame ga Kill! - Aldnoah.Zero - Beyond the Boundary - Black Bullet - Capatin Earth - Unlimited Fund Works - Monthey Girls' Nozaki-kun - No Game, No Life - Rail Wars - The Irregular at Magic High School
not sure if i should pick up Case Closed as all i'll get is 52 episode out how like ~2,000
@Frosteeze not really, given the average price of $57 (as i get a discount) and knowing that Unlimited Fund Works is 2 seasons that 57 x 11 which is $627, given that these would be released over a few months i can easily get these with my usal $400 a month spend
@LoganM i'd probably still get it though i'd proably put it back in my backlog, with the exception to Accel World, Case Closed and Arakawa i've gotten every anime Hanabee has in their catalog
More would certainly be welcome, but I don't know if they could fit a lot more in very easily. She's in like half the scenes, probably more than anyone else other than Nozaki.
@LoganM yeh i've seen both, i had them before Hanabee announced them so i didn't bother getting them a second time. though given the Accel World i had was fan subbed while what Hanabee has the dubbed version
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I think the issue is that, while 淫秽色情 does literally translate to "pornography", in the context of mainland Chinese culture it's understood as a much broader thing. China is quite sexually conservative and all talk about the subject is censored. The influx of pornography, sexually suggestive works, and even things that we would see as fairly tame are all lumped into the same basket and often attributed to Western influence.
There's undoubtedly a cultural element here which can't be captured easily in translation. Translating it to "borderline pornographic" misses that. I can't say what the best way to write it in English is, but it's a case of a statement that isn't necessarily factually incorrect in the original language, but the literal translation made it factually incorrect in English.
@LoganM i know that, i am wondering how much of the manga the anime still has left to adapt given you have a movie set after the Ninja War but before the final chapter
@ton.yeung I think someone on the anime answered this in an interview. They thought that Ga-Rei itself was too comedic and too long to make a good anime, but that the back-story was good and would attract readers.
I don't remember the source.
Would have to look for it.
Just remembered I'm supposed to teach tomorrow.
Guess I should write some notes.
Who is doing this?
Most anime I see are for manga that are still running.
Anyway I think they'd need some really good reason to make an anime for a manga that ended 5 years ago. The manga rights-holders aren't going to make any appreciable money off it at this point, and the anime on its own probably wouldn't make a profit with the existing fanbase (or at least not as much as they could make by a revenue-sharing agreement).
If it was a majorly popular series like FMA, I could see it, but for Ga-Rei, I'd be quite surprised.
Most adaptations are motivated by the manga publisher rather than the animation studio.
At least, these days that's the case.
Not really a gamble for either party.
For the manga publishers, even if the anime turns out bad, they'll typically get a sizable increase in popularity. If you bring in people at the right point (like near the end of the series) it's an easy way to get a lot of money.
For the anime studio, they don't need to make a profit off the DVD sales, so long as the contract with the manga rights-holders is sufficiently generous in other ways.
So even terrible anime these days still do alright financially. Very rarely do they actually lose money.
@LoganM is that way some anime adaptations which follow the Manga faithfully don't keep going further, because they are trying to attract viewers to the manga
There's diminishing returns on adding more seasons.
No one is going to start watching Spice & Wolf in season 3.
So unless the anime studio really wants to produce it (because they think it will still make a profit or for whatever other reason) or the manga publisher really wants a season 3 to be made, it just probably won't happen.
@Memor-X The model is completely different for long-running anime like that. Those make their profits primarily off TV sponsorships and advertisements, the same way that most shows make a profit in most other places in the world.
I don't think Naruto or One Piece is getting rich off Blu-ray sales.
I'm pretty sure all the big shounen titles have under 1k sales per volume. That might not even cover the voice acting.
How much did it cost them?
That's rather high. Usually an episode is something like 100-200k. Unless they were going for really high production values, I doubt it costed that much.
But I thought Little Witch Academia 2 was supposed to be 40 minutes.
In which case, 500k is still very high, but more believable.
Hi I notice that there are some manga/anime that difference from each other (Akame Ga Kill, Claymore, Full metal Alchemist,..) as well as some manga/anime that are both similar ( One piece, Dragonball,...) I want to read manga and watch anime if they are differnece from each other and just watch ...
I barely watch Deadman Wonderland two months ago, when I watch the first episode on Adult Swim. I saw the Red Man kill Ganta's classmates and other episode Shiro was passed out in dark basement with this older gentle man. As soon Shiro wake up it wasn’t her, she was a different person and she gra...
If we're up by 6, and there's presumably less than 6 hours left (assuming they use UTC-12 midnight as the stop time), the runners-up couldn't even realistically catch up if we stopped right now.
(not that I plan on stopping; this was never really about winning so much as getting as high as possible).
In case anyone is still interested, Code Golf has a bot that pretty consistently gets 235-day wins now. Not sure they're actually using it though.
