| funi = FAIL well i don't really care about bund cause it is a mockery of the manga but yer i hope funi dont mess with the subbers on baka test its semi decent |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| Time to run torrent at Baka to Test... The less I care about Vampire Bund, since it was horrible anyway. Bad choice of Funi to choose it between, why not Bakemonogatari as it is much more popular? I do understand the theme "vampire", but if the story is bad, animation is bad and etc... I don't think it wise to license it. And I'm sure Durarara will be license once the anime ended airing which I totally don't mind as I will buy the DVD as a big fan of the series anyway x3 (I even subscrib to Crunchyroll just for it damn xD) |
| Talk about monopolization. |
 |
| sigh... that's great that they're looking into newer shows... but purchasing rights to a show that isn't even finished will screw over the fans who don't want to be forced to pay for the last few episodes... I've been watching BT and Bund since ep 1 and I don't want C&Ds going left and right before they even finish airing. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Well, I can already see Funimation messing it up somehow, I don't know how, but I'm confident it'll be messed up soon enough. |

chinlamp said: 2. The manga for Bund is actually ok. It's certainly not great, but it is ok. Funimation probably had the right idea in principle. Then those first two episodes aired. They've got no chance whatsoever of releasing this in the states without getting the whole religious-satanic-anime-is-evil-and-pornography furor going again. Seriously, they should just have this licensed cos it's to late now and just let it expire. Cos if they release this, anime is going to be the target of those 'family first think of the children' groups (a.k.a. Religious movements in disguise) for ages. These are the same people who think or that Disney's Dinosaur is unfairly advocating Darwinism, or that Lion King is teaching children about shamanism and SEX in the clouds. They will always complain even if at least semi-intelligent people can tell it's bullshit. There's surely more sexually-charged programs on television that they should be aiming for, but I agree that it makes a good target for morality idiots. |

| nah.. again.. If they want to license something.. at least produce and sell it to the whole world...not just in certain countries only Yeah.. some ppl may love this news.. but bunch of ppl are actually hates that.. who doesn't want the legal DVDs for series? But, how about ppl outside the range of this company? It doesn't fair right? Go fansubber go!! Talk about monopolization. ^THIS Huh.. just license everything and make half of anime fans gone.. good work |
   |
| What's with funi and grabbing the rights to everything? How many shows does it have to butcher before it feels its at the top? |
 |
| The hell is with that incredibly stupid (get it? har har) name they chose for BakaTest? Could they not have just chose a literal translation? Surely that would be marketable even over there. |
 |
| BakaTest is apparently a name Funi likes to keep as well, given that they made a mess out of the title (what the heck is wrong with "Idiots, Tests and Summoned Creatures/Beasts" anyway?) And for those interested: Vampire Bund came with BakaTest (or the other way around, whichever works): Sam: Here’s a tidbit for you: Baka to Test wasn’t simuled because of Vampire Bund. Jaka: How come? Sam: Someone expressed interest in the vampire show (shocking! I know) and MediaFactory thinks it could force them to bundle Baka with it so they don’t want to give it up to CR for cheap. http://www.ggkthx.org/2010/01/10/jaka-bugs-sam-for-2hrs-and-i-paste-the-chatlog/ So even if FUNi wanted Bakemonogatari, they had no choice but to take both BakaTest and Vampire Bund, not one or the other. |

| Well, that's interesting to see that Funi licensed both series. |
| So they're literally calling it "BakaTest"? I have no problem with this, considering it's something I was already shortening it to. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
garfield15 said: Yeah, FUNi! It was supposed to be Bakemonogatari! What are you doing? This isn't Moonphase where that was actually somewhat decent. it will get there someday. Soulstrider said: I would be fine as long they don't hunt the subbers, cause for some of us the only way to get anime is trough fansubs, not everyone lives in the USA/UK -_- garfield15 said: I can't argue with the first part The second part though, so are you saying they should do nothing? At least a little bit isn't nothing. and Import? aren't there any stores that have the english dvds there? we have those in My Country but they're really expensive. and I do agree that a little is better than none,all the non japanese anime fans can't expect the japanese fans to keep the companies afloat. so those who have money and can afford,import etc. should show some support. |

ukonkivi said: No, what they're calling it is "BAKA and TEST -Summon the Beasts-" (exactly as they worded it, caps and all). I should have mentioned that clearly. Had they have gone with "Baka Test" I'd have found it better than that other one...So they're literally calling it "BakaTest"? I have no problem with this, considering it's something I was already shortening it to. |

| I think they're still advertising it on the web as BakaTest. I'm not 100% sure Darkening said: What's with funi and grabbing the rights to everything? How many shows does it have to butcher before it feels its at the top? First of all, I'm pretty sure it's already at the top. Second, FUNi? Butchering? FUNi is probably the only company next to Bandai that hasn't butchered a single anime Dragon Ball excluded And about how FUNi translates their subs too literally, are you saying they'd do a worse job than gg subs and their rewritten dialogue, awkward translations and that they don't leave in honorifics (Remember how apparently "onee-sama"="mistress"?) |
 |
| They should have only stayed with pedo one. Not with funny D: |
 |
| Wow, FUNi is grabbing very recent shows, that's awesome! Though I wonder, why Vampire Bund? Now to wait for those BluRays. XD |
 |
| Baka test!? *HEAD EXPLODES* |
 |
| Wait so they are they dubbing these series? And if so then what are the chances they'll wind up censoring Vampire Bund? O.o |
 |
Yup said: Wait so they are they dubbing these series? And if so then what are the chances they'll wind up censoring Vampire Bund? O.o none on the dvd at least and most likely none anyway |

| Why do most people hate Funimation? is it because they keep things uncut? give English anime fans legal copies? merchandise? good dubs? and for any dub haters they would call it just under 'its okay' dub, nearly most of these voice actors have master degrees in acting. The only anime they got at first which wasn't uncut are Dragonball and Shin-chan. but as for Dragonball they are doing it uncut from now on |

| Alright first off, those who are bad mouthing the funimation dubs without good reason please shut the hell up. I got sick of that crap back in my youtube anime uploading days. Besides it's all been said before. And Funimation usually does quite good dubs. As for Butchering BakaTest I really don't think that would be the case. I find that comedy animes work better dubbed as hearing the jokes is usually much funnier than reading them from the bottom of the screen. The main problem in BakaTest is translating the Japanese humor over to English. By the way what could you call Bakatest if you were selling it? Seriously I can't think up a good name.... Now don't get me wrong however. I don't approve of funimations seriously long release times, stopping fansubbers, licensing shit shows and ignoring the goldmines, and not licensing second seasons to tons of great shows. (When they cry, shana, familiar of zero, etc) |

Hideyoshilover said: Anyone wanna boycott funimation with me? Whoa whoa, don't get crazy. Not while they're still the only hope of getting anything that isn't Gundam over here, namely Sgt. Frog, Evangelion and especially One Piece (seriously, do you want to go back to the dark One Piece days?) When I hear that they've edited something innocent like Soranowoto or Durarara...yeah, I'll consider it. (It's not like Vampire Bund is this super-awesome anime anyway) |
| |
the_seventh_l said: Hideyoshilover said: Anyone wanna boycott funimation with me? Yeah, that's not an overreaction at all. No one says you have to buy their release of DitVB, but that doesn't mean you should stop buying the rest of their products, which are not edited like DitVB will be. Send them a message with your wallet: you won't buy edited material. Only the uncut stuff will do. That is, if anyone in here actually buys their anime anymore and doesn't just download everything off Tokyo Toshokan for freebefore running to MAL and whining how American companies ruin anime with their practices and they'll never buy Funi/Viz/whomever again. This is the smartest post I've read about the edits all day. Mind if I spred it around? |
| |
| BOYCOTT YEAH! |
| |
| The edits are somewhat understandable for Bund probably because of the recent Chris Handley lolicon court case. However The non edits for Strike Witches, and why they didn't just stick a mature rating on Bund like they did with Mnemosyne leaves me disgusted even more at Funi |
| ITT: People that don't buy anime boycotting Funi. |
 |
| *eye twitches* And yet they don't pick up something like Durarara!!, or Kimi ni Todoke, or even Bakemonogatari. It would be a pretty good idea to pick up Durarara!! since they already did Baccano!. But Dance in the Vampire Bund? OTL |
head-go-boom said: *eye twitches* And yet they don't pick up something like Durarara!!, or Kimi ni Todoke, or even Bakemonogatari. It would be a pretty good idea to pick up Durarara!! since they already did Baccano!. Sadly Funimation is the type of company that wants to have all streaming/distribution rights. Since Crunchyroll has Durarara!! it's unlikely they'll license it anytime soon. Even Crunchyroll was surprised that they were willing to get Bund despite it being a package deal. While on the other hand I think Funi is doing the same thing like their doing with Darker than Black 2, and waiting until the OVA's are finished to get the whole series of Bakemonogatari. I've heard distinct rumors of Viz, getting Kimi no Todoke for some time now. |
| Say it with me: "FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU" Who remembers their Negima dub? Really, the only thing they can do is screw everything up if they dub it. And, also, don't license the show during its airing! That's bull right there. |
 |
| Funimation blows, all of their dubs are just miscast and rushed pieces of garbage. Man, and I was plannig on watching "Dance in the Vampire Bund" in a few days. Way to ruin my fun Funimation! |
| My guess: they think that this show has the potential to go mainstream. Vampires are "in" right now after all. They, probably rightly, think that the lolicon aspect will weaken that mainstream potential, so they're downplaying it by editing. Strike Witches, on the other hand, is never going to have any mainstream appeal in the US so there's no point editing it. Don't get me wrong, I don't like censorship and I hope they reconsider, but I can see why they'd do it. I won't be buying it, but then I probably wouldn't have done so anyway as the series doesn't really interest me. |
