| Other than 4Kids, I would say Tokyopop due to the bowdlerization in their translations, though their dub of GTO was fairly good. |

| probably Funimation honestly .......... |

| It'd have to be Pony Canyon USA. Their releases are pretty expensive and they don't really offer anything to justify them. Everyone else offers something. Aniplex offers releases that are the closest to their Japanese counterparts. Funimation has reasonable prices for decent to good releases. Sentai has really good sales for their barebones releases and nice collector's editions. Discotek releases really old stuff and Lupin. All of their dub work is pretty comparable these days. |
LordAura said: Everyone else offers something. Aniplex offers releases that are the closest to their Japanese counterparts. Those are actually really rare when it comes to things that are outside of imports or anniversary collections like Gurren Lagann. Look at their Valvrave releases for $130 a pop you get 13 episodes and a couple of cards I think and thats it. So basically almost $300 for 24 episodes and flimsy cards. Most of their stuff is either $60 for 4 episodes or $120 for 12 with hardly any bonuses. Some of the releases they sit on for months and then release barebones for the exact same $100+ price tag which again was my flack with Valvrave. My least favorite companies is of course Aniplex of America and Pony Canyon USA for price gouging and for the most part do not offer anything to justify the prices at least to me. Discotek and Sentai/Maiden Japan on the other hand are the best companies cause they offer anime classics or niche titles from the early 00s. |

| Harmony Gold is literal cancer that refuses to die. |
| 4kids ruined the yugioh dub with censorship and shitty soundtracks The talent on that dub was great (especially Dan Green), honestly such a waste |

| The drooling zombie that is Media Blasters. |

| Any of the USA only licensing company that locks Europe out is the worst in my opinion. |

I will agree with this. This is just to take up space. |

| Evangelion is shit |
| Funimation for sure, Crunchyroll is not that bad |

| Probably whoever put out that atrocious Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex Blu-ray release. Funimation has its problems but usually fairly inexpensive so I guess you get what you pay for. Aniplex of America is the complete opposite and everyone else is more or less in between or comparable to the two I mentioned. At least out of the titles I own unless you mean streaming. |

ExodiaX said: Bebop_Hakusho said: So you think there are only two anime licensers in the world? Of course not but these two are the most recognizable one and there is no point to mention 4kids anymore. Yeah but does that automatically make Funimation the worst just because it's the only one popular enough to be as recognizable as Crunchyroll? |
| I agree with the opinions about Funi (though I'm still annoyed about how they treated Sgt Frog), also I don't like how they never release OVAs or shorts from their shows. Even Media Blasters was able to do this. |

Bourmegar said: Assuming what you say is true (which I haven't ever checked, since I'm in the US and don't feel like getting a foreign proxy just to do), my guess is that it has nothing to do with petty ideological spats and more to do with licensing. It's easy to geolocate an IP and go "oh, this IP is from [country/region], we're not licensed to let people in [country/region] stream our stuff, so let's just simply keep them seeing the website". Compare that to picking parts of the website to let people use and having to come up with elaborate ways of locking them out of other things. Not very elegant, but gets the job done.petran79 said: Funimation lock even their website from Europe. You cant even browse That plus all the commotion that keeps on going on there. How can they be woke while locking out countries? @Swizze you can't geolocate e-mail addresses the way you can geolocate the IP addresses of computers accessing your website. |
