Alex_Saxon said: Sabinlerose said: Say it with me people.... SEX. SELLS. Yeah but even amongst the echhi series of this season it's the weakest one. I agree this anime is just as weak as Yosuga no Sora in the ecchi department, Hidan no Aria would have been a better choice for Funi. |

Alex_Saxon said: They're licensing this... but dropping Higurashi. I'm feeling somewhat raged. I don't know much about Oretachi but from what I do know about it I am about 95% sure that Higurashi is a better series, which I am still angry about them dropping. Unfortunately, it is true that ecchi shows tend to sell better in America. |

| It's all about sales. Good quality does not necessarily equate to good sales. Likewise, poor quality does not necessarily equate to poor sales. As someone already said, fanservice series are proven sellers in the US. That's why series like this continue to be licensed. I haven't seen this show yet. I do plan on trying it out sometime. If I find it decently entertaining, then I will probably buy it. |

| (Currently bashing head off computer monitor) Why?!Why?!Why?!Why?!Why?!Why?!WHY?! |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |
| I dropped this thing cause it was that bad. |
 |
| LOL LOL cannot believe this the worst show of the YEAR gets licensed |

Hoppy said: Kaeyuki said: ... They might as well fucking license Yosuga no Sora. At least I'd have a reason to sell all the BD's I bought for it, Sora's was effing expensive. Don't give Funi ideas like that, I never want to see Yosuga licensed outside Japan, that was one of the worst anime I've seen in a while. I really loved Yosuga no Sora, albeit the manga develops the storyline better |
| The shows OK, they could have licensed something better though. Just as long as they don't try some horribad dub. |
 |
| Shuffle! did well for them, so I guess this isn't much of a surprise. |
| This may very well be the WORST anime of 2011.....good job Funi....keep sucking!!! |

Coupled with the fact it's probably cheaper due to it not doing so well in Japan. That would explain a lot, especially when you consider how funimation have been hemorrhaging money recently. It does boggle my mind though, who actually goes out and buys those bad ecchi series funimation sells? I would imagine it's the same kinda 'moe" culture in the states. I personally don't understand it and don't want to so for all I know I'm completely offbase. Z-flame said: Sabinlerose said: Say it with me people.... SEX. SELLS. Say it with me people.... MORON BUYS I wouldn't say that. You wouldn't appreciate it if someone called you a moron for your spending and or hobbies now would you? If they like it and it's what they want....more power to them. More cash flow means more money for better series when they come along. |
| I wonder who buys the ecchi titles Funi licenses, if any save for HOTD, I can see that selling but the rest I give a big no. They don't license the good ones very often for one thing, I could see their marketing strategy being ok if they at least licensed the good ecchi titles. |

Funi's biggest ecchi license over the past couple of years has been Strike Witches. |

Keep on keeping on man. money they could still be making by acquiring other far better series Sentai and Media Blasters snatches up the good series, both each got 1 of the best anime for Winter 2010. |

Which series is popular, NOT been taken by another licensing / dubbing company, and would sell well in a north american market? I'm drawing heavy blanks. |
