which is all pushed out by shueisha and bandai in the first as the higher ups of the production committee and JC weren't in the production committee so it wasn't their fault. |

The real issue with Funimation's involvement is their track record of backing stinkers.

I was going to say those Dragon Age and Mass Effect films years ago but that was probably more Bioware's fault than Funimation. |

When I saw the word "Harmony" I thought it was going to be an adaptation on one of Yasuhiro's earlier works, Harmonie. Sadly, it is not.

Don't worry about Funimation or JC Staff, I say. Have faith in Yasuhiro Yoshiura as director. With he and Ichiro Okouchi writing the screenplay it'll be clever and with some surprises. I kind of wish Yoshiura would stick to sci-fi themes, but I'm still looking forward to it.

I wonder if Funimation is co-producing so they can get a dub of the movie out faster instead of dealing with licensing stuff after the movie is out in Japan.
Super excited to see Kanna Kii's character designs! I was wondering why the art style looked so familiar

I dunno what in the world this controversy over the former is about, but the latter is what I'm most uncertain of here. I did like Patema, but Time of Eve was... I don't even know. So bad it's good, maybe; a meme machine. At least we can be sure it won't be boring? Also laughing at that incredibly vague one-sentence description. "A new transfer student interested in her surroundings?" What is she, a cat? From that and the trailer, the whole plot seems to be just "genki girl teaches her class how to fun," which would be a nice escape from the great 2020 apocalypse but otherwise doesn't sound that interesting. I'm biased against this, though, because it superficially resembles Anthem of the Heart (my favorite anime movie) but has no obvious thematic depth and a psychologically-reversed protagonist. So... it's probably better than I'm expecting, but no way am I getting my hopes up for it. |

Funimation co-producing something that isn't some boring nonsensical action anime? REMARKABLE!

Yeah, not to make things too political, but that's what struck me as being really odd about that post. There may have been some conservative moral outrage in Australia over fanservicey anime, but by far and large whenever there's a big stink about female character designs on Twitter (e.g. the recent Uzaki-chan kerfluffle) the bad actors involved wouldn't exactly identify as conservatives. |
