Anyone remember when a season was 27 episodes? And if the show was popular it got extended to 36?

Let me guess, they’re going to try to claim it wasn’t real like what happened with that one ID verification company recently?

I mean, I never really left, but its like, how can businesses honestly expect customers to buy their product when the objectively better (and safer in this case) experience is to just pirate the content?

Changed my account password and cancelled my subscription.

In their exit survey, I told them the reason I am cancelling is because “your ‘business’ is a massive cyber security liability, and I do not plan to return unless you give my account the most premium tier eubscription for free, forever.”

So its back to the seas for me. I tried being a good person and doing it legally, but if that comes with the massive caveat that my data is going to be harvested/stolen multiple time, then I would rather pirate. At least if my data gets stolen from malware, I didnt pay for it.

This is only true if the legal services actually offer good value and have the content the user is looking for.

Most of the time, pirates are too poor to afford legal routes. Sometimes, pirates are new to a hobby and checking out if they want to spend money, who usually switch to legal routes if they like it. Very rarely you get pirates who do it for the love of the game and were never going to pay to begin with.

And then, there is the rarest of all: an actual, countable lost sale for the business. All the previous methods are not lost sales. A business should not be legally allowed to count them because they werent going to get money from those scenarios. But the rarest instance of all is a person that was going to pay legally, and could definitely afford to, but decided to not pay and pirate instead.

Again?

What is this? It’s all just Megumin?

What’s a Megumin?

I also liked it, but it doesn’t replace the original series. Its just an alternate retelling of the story.

To me, its the same as the Super Dimension Fortress Macross tv series, and the Macross Do You Remember Love? movie. Neither is better or replaces the other, they are just alternate retellings of the same story. In the same way that two different war veterans might describe the same battle differently, even though the same major story elements occur in each.

One of my favorite anime IPs written by one of my favorite creatives?

Waiter, waiter, more of this please!

Well Gainax doesn’t have Evangelion rights, it was transferred to khara a while ago, which is Anno’s company.

It was fine. NieR Reincarnation was a lot better, IMO.

Exciting to see Yoko Taro is leading. He hasn’t let me down yet.

Also interesting to see Okabe as composer.

while Shueisha may share the operator’s identity with its internal team in Japan to aid U.S.-based enforcement, it is legally barred from using that specific data to file infringement actions in foreign courts.

Yeah, knowing a business (especially being Japanese which continually try to apply Japanese law to non-Japanese citizens living outside Japan), that is going to get outright ignored if that person isn’t living in the US. They will just see the personal data of where that person lives in the world and instantly file a lawsuit in that country “because they were suspicious of that country housing the site owner,” likely dropping the US case in the same moment.

Hope the site owners don’t live in Japan. RIP if they do.

Anime is made outside of Japan. China and South Korea have anime industries of their own in addition to contracting with Japanese companies for animation outsourcing.

No, no. You’ve got it wrong.

Endless Eight was certainly only a single episode. I would remember if it was more.

• Bubblegum Crisis, and its shorter sequel Bubblegum Crash.

• AD Police Files (the OVA with 3 episodes)

• Parasite Dolls

• Angel Cop

Same with Bubblegum Crisis. Ignore Tokyo 2040.

Why is this becoming more common? Did anime investors find out that they get more money for splitting up seasons like this or something?

Personally, I do wish that Envangelion Rebuilds had been more faithful as a retelling of the show, with a second set of movies or tv shows following the 3.0 branch. I like 3.0, but I also like the original story equally as well, and wish both could have been given proper theatrical spotlight.

They didn’t need to explain anything, but its more Evangelion content and I certainly won’t be complaining about that!

One of the major points of Evangelion is that not everything has a true in-lore explanation. Sometimes stuff is there just because Anno thought it was cool. Maybe khara just wanted to be creative and make -48, and didn’t feel a particular need to explain everything because they didn’t care or felt it wasn’t important enough to need an explanation for whatever they were wanting to do.
