That was a really good interview, thanks so much for having Chi as a guest. I learned a few things, and will listen to it again.
It's awful that Japanese animators are living in poverty, from what I hear in the ANNCast & Sankaku Complex site. Even here in Canada when I'm looking at animation courses, the schools try to steer me to something more lucrative, but I still want an animation career. I live in poverty now, so no big change!

You know I think you have a great point there, and I feel that I might've been making that same mistake as Zac (that is if he is doing that cause I honestly don't know). I seem to also be confusing what is moe and what is just ecchi/fanservice. And for the record I again agree that the shows that are really hurting the fanbase are those like the ones you listed (oh god, Nyan Koi...That wasted so many hours of my life) and maybe not necessarily the moe shows, which I don't really have that big of an issue with. That said I certainly don't want to see the industry being dominated by it, so maybe scaling back on it isn't a bad idea. I also agree that Balsa isn't too bad on the eyes

I don't know why I was surprised to learn Zac dislikes Burn Notice. Hahaha. Ahh, personal preferences.
I'm really thrilled they got to converse with Chi "I can't even begin to pronounce your name" Umennachi. It was such an interesting, fun, informative and insightful 'cast. I'm really just giddy to be able to hear it. 
In particular, I like and very much agree with Chi's hopes for the anime industry's brighter future. Integrating ideas, reviving franchises and collaborating with one another all around like fascinating, exciting and profitable avenues imho. |

I've actually never seen Burn Notice, I just think all the jokes about it are particularly funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd90oqIvtXs http://bit.ly/bXdGRT |

As I huge Chuck fan, I was shocked to learn that they do not seem to like Chuck. :O I highly recommend it, though! |

I love Chuck too. It's a shame that the viewership really isn't growing this season (it's shrinking actually). As for anime currently airing that cuts through the moe disease like a knife, Durarara is the best one. Best show in years. Thanks for this weeks episode guys. |

Really great episode. This and the Chad Kime/Geneon episode are my favorites so far, for sure.

Wow, the podcast makes me think that Chi would love to have the new Marvel and Madhouse stuff to really work. And man, both sides of the industry (USA and Japan) seem so desperate now. If only the USA could somehow support them in that. But I can't imagine Funi or Viz having that kind of money to spend without putting themselves in financial risk again. At the same time I think if more people in the entertainment industry heard this particular podcast, it might get more people thinking. But damn all these failed live-action anime stuff is just bombing and I think the only current US money backing Japanese Anime (besides the Halo, Matrix, and Batman stuff) was that Yugioh movie. So many negative examples.

You know, I was considering watching Durarara because some of my friends that into anime (even the moe stuff that I don't like) were really gushing about it, and it seemed to have very pleasing character designs. But I gotta finish Baccano first! |

Really good podcast (finally found time to sit down with it at work today). Best one in a while for sure. Very informative.
Bringing up Vampire Bund was interesting. I just watched the show last week after reading finding out about the shitstorm that blew in about Funi's announcements some time back. I wouldn't have watched it were it not for my curiosity to see what it was like that it needed to be edited. While I did enjoy some of the show (had some pretty sweet fights, and some of the JUST AS PLANNED moments were awesome), I can't see that show working for mainstream US audience at all... A really dull first episode followed by naked loli would send most people packing. But the concept does have some potential I think, especially as a transitionary thing. It's like the old internet proverb: "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is...umm...really, really dumb and bad."
I lol'd hard. XDDD |
