I see people complaining about rips of Funi streams/discs complaining about ugly subs as well, even though Funi uses white with black outlines and nobody complains when fansubs do the same. As for industry reforms and such, I'd settle for "no TV broadcast versions on disc" and "packaging text accurately reflects disc content." It's not like the missing omake phenomenon hasn't hit other R1 releases where the JP side wouldn't part with the rights, just that it was coupled with a mixup and packaging error this time.

Once again, here is someone who has no idea what they're talking about. Funi's simulcasts are censored, as are all tv braodacast versions and simulcasts. Their releases are uncensored unless there was a mistake like Sankarea. |

What can make this even worse is if this is brought up on a Funi panel at a convention or in an interview, the reps might say something like they can't really talk about or they might briefly address the issue.

Truly the exclusion of some OVA's of a crappy adaption of a crappy fanservice beat-em-up is a cause for great concern.
Christ. The show and game are both braindead pablum anyway. Last edited by Chagen46 on Tue Jul 29, 2014 3:43 pm; edited 1 time in total |

It needs to be brought up and pursued. False advertising is unacceptable and should never be tolerated regardless of what kind of business or industry is involved. |

Only one day after your previous account got placed on moderation and you're already back on the forums, eh? You sure don't waste any time, do you Shiratori?

Hopefully they release these OVA's on a separate BD/DVD but that's probably wishful thinking.

If that line of thought had any logic attached then this one would also be true: 1) I think pokemon is a crap 2) If the next blu-ray pokemon movie release was an upscale from the DVD version, then it would not be a cause of great concern (see 1) YOU ARE NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. |

I was highly considering importing this even if I don't think highly on the fanservice focus but even if I was not planning on it. The idea of only making missing content clear a day before the release, especially content they marketed the work with and have printed on the box is incredibly egregious. What you or I think of the show or games isn't important. FUNimation made another move which will lead to people putting off preorders at best, refunds on occasion and perhaps people relying on other means to get their goods (from online means to importing) as well as buying from other sellers. I practice the same idea with Viz Media, I support their Signature releases among others but will avoid any of their Detective Conan stuff and focus on other releases from Yen Press or Dark Horse even more so whenever I hear a peep of a mistake. In case anyone cares, Senran Kagura's games are pretty decent at the very worst and surprisingly the best brawlers on the 3DS even including the Japanese library as far as I can see (Senran Kagura 2 is preordered and due for an August 7th release - I hope they don't drop me a blog notice that they won't have something they marketed in one of their livestreams). The Vita's Shinovi Versus is pretty good I hear as well and the point when Tamsoft really stepped up their quality with the series. Good manga or anime? Senran Kagura Spark is a competent prequel to the first game which sticks to the oldest members of the cast as first years showing some amusing interactions and tensions which can be felt in small amounts years onwards in Senran Kagura Burst. Otherwise, nothing really sticks out beyond marketing for a game like most video game adaptations. EDITS: Focusing on a typo on the bolded line... >_> Hopefully no one saw it.

that's not what I am saying at all what I am saying is, if they sell it in your country you are obligated to buy it. if they do not sell it in your country, then you are not. *rant_____ do not blame piracy because a japanese firm wants to screw themselves over. They can blame themselves. just like in america, the drop in cable television subscribers is not just due to piracy. it has more to do with the american cable industry is run by greed and asses. Comcast is the #1 hated company in america, and it is not due to 'piracy'. this is my opinion: the two biggest threats facing the anime industry are too much competition and bad management. In a free market, people will buy the best item at the best price right? however this does not always apply to anime or entertainment. You see, an Otaku will buy A and if he has money left over he will still buy B. And if Aniplex is too expensive, he may instead buy B C D E. it is not 'this' or 'that', it is a 'this' AND 'what else?' market. |

Damn... I was actually really looking forward to those specials. This is why I don't pre-order Funimation titles.

Man, I was holding out so I could get this and Devil is a Part Timer at the same time.
Guess I'll just go ahead and get Devil is a Part Timer and wait a bit to see if Funi re-releases Senran Kagura. |

That annoys me as I didn't know and had waited for the (possible) BD release. Thanks for the the info at least. I would have been even more upset if I found out while watching it (or at least trying to).
That's what I thought at first too from what I could remember, but I've found bluray versions of it, so unless it was just an upscale (which it didn't look like it was) or the SD version w/ the bluray release in Japan, then it was likely held back by the licensors. Funi could have at least put SD version on the bd disc (presuming it didn't look worse of course) just to keep everything together. |
