But what about those who haven't seen Bakemonogatari?
(It's the same thing I wondered about when they announced Prince of Tennis II)
CR uses softsubs and I've seen them use different styles and positions to match the signs. I don't know if their player can do various orientations, transforms and animation (e.g. to match panning). Whatever is done will be lost for the DVD/BDs though, unless they hardsub it, which I wouldn't want. Oh yeah, why is this thread located in the UK section? |

Bakemonogatari is hard for western viewers. You have to be very Asian to understand it and some of the myth. |

Very surprised to see this, given SHAFT's history in regards to streaming.

Although I haven't seen one episode of Bakemonogatari I'm looking forward to this.

I can see why some of the mythos behind the story isn't obvious to western viewers, but that hardly means it's a hard show to watch. Bakemonogatari easily survives on it's entertaining characters and interesting events. |

It was a hard show to watch because that kind of style of writing is a turn off for alot of people. I bet people will understand ep 1 more once they finish all 15eps, then rewatch ep 1 again. |

I'd say an Aniplex USA license is legit. As for the mega-expensive import releases they've done, keep in mind that both Kara no Kyoukai and Fate/Zero are TYPE-MOON titles, and those tend to go for higher premiums than most others. They are more of the exception than the norm. Alright, AoA, how about coaxing Kodansha for a Bakemonogatari release and stream, now? |

Yeah exactly.. especially with the disconnect between what viewers are supposed to know and how they're supposed to know it in Aniplex's own synopsis:
unless of course it's an implicit acknowledgement of US fans of Bakemonogatari who've seen it.. somehow *wink* As far as pricing goes it could be anywhere. I don't think it necessarily has to due with Type Moon. The Kenshin OVAs and Movie are Japanese priced too; the others are about 1/2 to 1/3 as much as Japanese, and Star Driver BD coming from below at $60 I suspect if it's right next to the JP release, it may be priced the same. If it's a few months out from the last volume on BD in Japan, it could be somewhere in the middle. |

You see, just because you found it a hard show to watch doesn't mean that's the general consensus. The quirky style is one of the reasons I(and it seems a lot of other people) adore it. |

I am actually REALLY disappointed by this. Most of the time I am perfectly fine with localization and liberal translations that come out of CR and NicoNico but this will be the one time where I am completely against those kinds of translations. *monogatari is not something that can be translated well by professionals and really needed the fansub treatment. 2 of the best fan subbers were going to work on this and 1 has already confirmed he is dropping it unless the subs are complete fail to the series. I am watching this with a HUGE magnifying glass and I am going to extremely pushy with my expectations with this because this series means a lot to me and I really hope CR doesn't stuff this up. I want them to succeed but my standards are high

Seriously .. this must be one of the lamest statements I've seen for a while! Where on earth do you think these 'professionals' got their experience subbing? CrunchyRoll has certainly employed previous fansubbers in the past. |
