Justin, your answers were just as informative as they always are, but now I realize how much you need to get this insane work done and get some proper rest for the holidays! Your attitude this week is a little... strong. Even for you. Especially for you. D:
Good luck with everything! And thanks for another week! |

As the asker John in the article, I'm following Amagi Brilliant Park (haven't watched the final episode quite yet) and it irks me as well that it suffered the same fate as Hyouka (another KyoAni show I watched) when it comes to lack of legal avenues to watch a translated version of it.
There's also 2 other currently airing shows without official streams I'm currently following, Nanatsu no Taisai and Sanzoku no Musume Ronja, in addition to Jinsei which I just completed. To infer from what Justin wrote in the article, there's a company or companies out there leaving money on the table as people like the undersigned are still following/followed all shows mentioned here... |

The only thing I can't wrap my head around on the Sony Pictures Cyberattack, is how North Korea seems to legitimately believe Sony can actually erase all traces of the movie's existence, once again proving to the world that they (North Korea) don't live in our version of reality.
If you want people to avoid making unflattering comments or portrayals of your country, it's government,it's leaders, and it's human rights violations maybe just maybe you should stop going out of your way to keep showing the world just how horrible,ignorant, ass backwards,your country is. North Korea seems to be a place where hubris thrives. |

 Every time I think about Hyouka I cry a little. I adore that show. I'm still crossing my fingers that it'll get licensed over here someday.
I need that in my collection very badly.
Seven Deadly Sins does have a streaming contract with Netflix, or so I've heard. I just checked the encyclopedia and it doesn't say anything, so maybe I'm wrong. I'm really curious what Netflix is going to do with their "Netflix Original" anime shows as far as physical releases go. Or whether or not the home video rights are even with them. |

Anything that does have a Netflix deal will likely come out a season later than Japan since Netflix likes to put things up in one lump (and ideally with a dub) - see Sidonia.

I think I read somewhere that KyoAni doesn't like Internet streaming so much, so they'll opt-out at any chance available.

This whole thing reminded me of the opening scene from the first Naked Gun film. Look at how many people that mocked, and no one threw a fit over that. |

I think it should be posted at the top of each page: "We don't know if it's going to get another season! I'm not surprised that this question is received frequently. For some reason, even in the information age, people fail to find this kind of information. I mean, Wikipedia would usually have this answer. |

South Park Bigger, Longer, Uncut had a gay Saddam Hussein, who was brutally killed off in the film's climax, while their may have been a few hurt feelings over that. Iraq didn't take it to a petty extreme like NK. |

I enjoy the Seth Rogen stoner comedies (Neighbors not to much!) so it's amusing to see what might have only done decently become some huge international event that even Obama mentions in press conferences. It almost elevates the material of the film in a meta fashion, a stoner comedy being important enough to affect geopolitics, you couldn't imagine this shit happening outside of that kind of movie. But NorK's really inconsistent since they didn't throw a fit over Team America. Maybe they realized the obvious comedy and thought the Interview was serious, perhaps NorK doesn't have a strong sense of humor.

I still have no idea what the hell some Japanese production companies were thinking when they produced some shows a while back. They did stupid things like animating the opening credits at 29.97fps whilst animating the actual show at 23.976fps which necessitates a hard telecined interlaced encode.
Then I remember there was a particular season of Ikki Tousen which was the opposite where the intro was 23.976fps and the episodes were 29.97... Just do everything at 23.976fps so we don't have to deal with interlaced crap dammit! :p |

This week Answerman was interesting and also funny at the same time.
The one question Corey asked is very interesting, and it's not only money why Japanese studio jumped on internet streaming, there's another reason why Japanese companies was reluctant to have their content stream over the internet: I read it that Japan is pretty slow on adapting new technologies which does include internet streaming, they seem to also fear the internet from what I've heard and read. The third question from Jeremy is interesting and Justin response match what I've been observing out of Japan:
This is an example of why I hate red-tape and Japanese companies put too many regulation that shouldn't be there.
That's my issue from what I heard, and I know this also effect J-dramas and Tokusatsu too. Anyway, very interesting Answerman for this week. |

People act for reasons, and the link between reasons and actions is basically the same for everybody; people take different actions because they have of different priorities and knowledges, not because they think differently about the same things. Which means: if someone takes a choice you wouldn't, then they've got different priorities or different knowledge. We know what Sony's priorities are, here [make money, not get killed], so that's not a problem; if there's a difference it has to be in the knowledge. Either you know things that Sony doesn't, or Sony knows things that you don't. If you know things that sony doesn't, you _should_ be able to identify what it is: "what of my knowledge would I have to not have would make Sony's choices reasonable by my lights". Tricky, but doable. If OTOH it's Sony who has knowledge [or "knowledge"] you don't, you can't do this process ["what do I not know that I would have to know for these actions to make sense" isn't a tractable problem], and you'll likely be mystified. So: in general if you don't understand why someone would do something then it's 'cause they know/"know" things you don't. [we can sketch out some possibilities here. Sony's seen the film, which is a big difference, and gives them insight into how-to-say-this the benefit side of releasing the film now, stuff like "how much will it make in ticket sales to be worth the risk", knowledge that it'd be fair to say you don't have. And other more cynical possibilities.] |
