Given that no Gundam show has ever been 'molested' I'm not even sure what this is supposed to mean.
There's a reason why the remaining older Gundam shows haven't been brought over yet - two of them are the biggest commercial failures in the franchise, and the third is a bad series that has zero appeal outside of a very niche group of people.

Which is why this is perfect for Sunrise to rellease the unreleased Gundam series. It doesn't cost a lot to subtitle, and the streaming is handled by other people. They don't get a lot but they don't pay a lot.

I'm curious about what he meant by that too. (Although the cynic in my believes it was an anti-dub comment, I'd like to believe there's an actual decent reason.)
Watching Gundam00 on Sci-Fi has made me want to check out more of the franchise, so knowing specifically what "molestation" he's talking about would be nice.

I would watch Z, ZZ, X, and those other obscure Gundam shows so hard if Bandai would just bring them over here. I haven't been able to catch a satisfying Gundam production since 08th MS!
As for Geass, I wouldn't say I like it, it's pretty generic, but I'll at least finish the show there when they get R2 since Adult Swim seems to have dropped it.

good to hear. I missed like that last 6-7 eps of the series because of how CN moved it to 5 am.

"Dropped it" as in, "Currently showing two repeat episodes of it every Saturday, with premieres set to resume very soon"?

You would call Code Geass generic? I'll admit, there are a lot of people who dislike it, and some for very valid reasons, but I doubt you could find enough evidence to support this claim of yours. Code Geass does many things other series have never done, and takes very big risks in its nearly irrational plot twists (which is probably part of the reason some hate it).

I just didn't feel it was fair of you to single out Bandai like that, especially when they aren't the only ones releasing new shows while everyone else settles for their classics or other elements of their back catalogue.

Those might well be your own feelings but for me as long as something "barely works" that is actually not going to be what I'd call a "catastrophe" although this has all already been discussed to death and back.
Quote: | Enough of that, but I am glad that more anime studios are streaming, and Sunrise does have an excellent library of anime that they can dig deep and sub for cheap. I just hope they follow Toei's lead in actually using their library to the best of its abilities. |
I'd hope that too, since it would be a good move on their part and something which would benefit the whole lot of us. |
I should warn you against paying too much attention to Charred Knight. He loves to troll Bandai/Sunrise shows and is absolutely obsessed with promoting hatred of them at every opportunity.
He's just going to end up BSing you the whole way and will never stop doing it. He'll never be satisfied....not saying ignoring him will help as like I said doing this guys entire purpose for being (why anyone would spend their entire time online seeking out opportunites to post about a show they have an irrational hatred of I don't know), but I'd recommend against getting caught up in it.

Yes, because its not like I have talked up the FMA manga like its the greatest thing ever, complimented the Negima manga at all times, consider Ouran High School Host Club the finest shoujo anime ever, watched about 30 episodes of Slam Dunk in the past three days, and gave Gurren Lagann a perfect 10.
Oh wait I did
Maybe its not me, but Code Geass R2
When will you understand that your opinion is not the only one?
Oh and could you please leave me alone I don't want to argue with you anymore. Lets just get back to talking about at least streaming anime if not streaming Code Geass.

When will you understand that people already know your opinion and to just stop with the hate agenda already?
Also what is this "I don't want to argue let's get back to topic" feint? You're the one who started this nonsense up again. If you don't want to talk about this and want to stick to the topic why are you always trying to drag things off topic in the first place? That's what everyone has been trying to tell you for ages. None of what you do makes any sense unless you really are just a troll/baiter, which I am already 90% sure of already. If that's somehow not the case though then you are really doing nothing to paint yourself in any other light, and no saying some nice things about other shows doesn't make it look like you have any less of a personal agenda against other shows and their fans.
Well okay even if you rarely make sense, I'll let you try and explain just one thing to me cause I think it will be hilarious. How can a show without a will of it's own possibly be at fault for getting mentioned in an article about it getting streamed and you coming in to bash it? Unless you somehow seriously think a non-living entity like a television show can have a will of it's own and be out to get you somehow in which case I recommend contacting a therapist immediately.

Come on, guys. It takes two to tango. If one of you refuses to reply, the argument is over.
