No, what you said seems entirely unreasonable because there wouldn't be enough money in it to motivate violent elements to get into it. |

For the anime English VAs being fan of anime. Greg Ayres and Yuri Lowenthal aren't the only one that are big fan.
Justin Cook: If any of you listen to ANN podcast with Justin Cook guest star. Justin has said that he watch a lot of anime and has acknowledge he like Cowboy Bebop (I believe he said he has all the episodes on his Ipod) and Strike Witches. Stephanie Sheh: She has said on another ANNcastthat she likes Slam Dunk. I don't recall that if she watch other anime. Johnny Yong Bosch: I believe he host AnimeTV along with Christina Valenzuela (who is also a VA and a anime fan). Crispin Freeman: He wouldn't have become a VA if he wasn't exposed to anime like Speed Racer, Battle of the Planet, Voltron, and Robotech. He has acknowledged that on a interview. Freeman is also a big fan of anime. |

I like how Brian said I was the jerk for what I said for my opinion on the industry, lol. To be honest, I don't necessarily like the 13 episode format, but I think shows work better when there's an actual end in sight. I've lost interest in the shows like Naruto and Bleach that seem to go on for as long as the money will keep coming in. I'm a fan of a resolute plot and conclusion to said plot.

I'm going to use a musical story type analogy to explain this back in 92, there was this promoter (Pioneer) who made this festival with a bunch of almost complete no name bands, the festival went perfectly with the time, and each of the bands had a following and success, but by far and wide, the showstopper, the main event, was a blue spiky haired lead with a gorgeous voice, for which 90% of the fans there adored and obsessed, and after there "final" tour and the promoter disappearing, it seemed like that was that, fast forward 5 years, a new up and coming promoter decided to bring the festival back, but before even signing the bands, hypes it to hell and back, "THE RETURN" all those fans get a rush of roaring nostalgia, now common sense and common business sense says this is a HORRID idea, you never promote what you don't yet have, but they go ahead, and everything is working out great as they sign each band on one by one, they get almost everybody back, and then, they find out the showstopper is working on something else, well this promoter (FUNimation) thinks "Pfft WE GOTTA GO GO GO, can't wait on you" the minute they did that, is the minute they nailed the final nail in that coffin, but what do they care right? common sense is taboo right? So they let everybody in that the showstopper won't be returning, and they are replacing them with a sound that is the exact opposite of what they love, whiny, annoying, the sound of a 15 year old boy, "But she sounds great and is still working on it", The festival starts, and after the first few nostalgia filled bands, the veil is cast out, this is a complete disappointment, all filler and no killer, and when the showstopper is supposed to come out, the one thing that might save the show? Utter disgust, it only adds to the disconnect of what used to be an almost perfectly magical festival Moral of the story, they could have played it smarter, it could have been bearable, and I don't need 3 complete collections to say otherwise |

If I shuffle through my absolute top favorites, the majority are 26 episodes, and the only one that is 13 episodes was from a long running light novel series that got two follow-up 13 episode series and an OVA. 13 episodes is a bit short to establish the characters and also pursue a plot. Of course, that is part of the appeal of the 13 episode format to the production committees ... with it basically being a movie length story plus some side-story or back-story filler, there's far less need for a novel-strength plot. A short story sized plot will do. And there's far less risk to the distributor and the broadcasters, since if it succeeds then a follow-up can always be green-lit, while if it tanks, its the three month run and done. I've never watched any of the long platform series except the Soul Society arc of Bleach, and don't feel any need to go past that, |
