Oh heck, you guys are KIDS. At 56 I'm staring 60 in the face.
Anyway I'm a diehard physical release guy, disks and dead trees forever. Having been involved in the IT world for the past 26 years I've seen a lot of "online" services come and go, some before online was really a thing, I don't trust that we will be able to stream anything for any length of time. So, yeah, I want it in my sweaty hands thank you very much. Mark Gosdin |

I don't know about casuals just watching on Hulu. I watch anime on hulu because it gets a lot of anime from the seasons and the huge collection that it seems to have. It also has a lot of the non-anime *gasp* media that I watch and I like everything being in the same place. | |||

You sure did go off-topic and off the rails. You usually END with twitter questions. | |||

It's cute that you think Dragon Ball Super needs to be good to be successful and profitable for Funimation.
I mean, obviously it'll be good to some people, and those are the people who'll be buying it, but come on. You stamp DB on nearly anything and it'll be profitable. Funimation has spent decades releasing terrible-quality DBZ releases (and a couple of good ones) that people tripped over themselves to buy. {Maybe I'm being hyper-sensitive here to charges of insults possibly being made, but at the same time I don't want DBZ fans on A.N.N. thinking that they're being insulted. ~nobahn} Note to mod: Understandable, but the context you may have missed from my years on the board is me being a huge DB fan, myself, so I'm also somewhat poking fun at myself.

Didn't mean it as a fault against the show. It's just that usually, at least from what I remember, shows that are not all twitter shows usually end with the twitter questions. I haven't heard this show yet, but since it's the 1st of May, and I know you guys like movies, maybe you've seen a CERTAIN one that came out in the US on the 1st? | |||

I took my hobby and made it my job but I don't really do it as a hobby any more. For the most part I'm happy and I like my job. But I remember one of my first jobs out of college, it was terrible. All I could think about was did I just spend all this money and take out the enjoyment for my hobby for this?! Turns out, I was just working for crappy bosses.
On another topic I do buy a lot less DVDs/Blurays then I used to. If I can watch it streaming I will. If there is something I really, really like I'll pick it up. But it is much fewer then before. And it is kind of pain. I watch anime over my lunch break a lot of the time, so streaming is the best. I did totally bring in a DVD to work today, though. I also find as I get older I just don't want as much stuff to deal with. When I bought a house I was excited I'd have all this room for my anime and manga collects, but now I'm like I don't want them to get much bigger because I don't want them to take up more space. I don't think I'll ever go Fight Club (talk about a movie where your view changes as you get older) on my stuff, but I am way more pro not getting or getting rid of stuff then I used to be. |

Very enjoyable podcast. It is great to have Justin in the show. Your talk about owning physical media was insightful to me. I like to buy anime on physical media, but I have always been selective since I started collecting anime 5 years ago; shelf space is also very important to me. I suppose I am not as attached to anime on physical media because I was not collecting when buying DVD's was the only method to watch anime legally.
I look forward to listening to ANN Casts on Shirobako. Speaking of Shirobako, I notice that some fans are not thrilled that Sentai has the license for it. I admit that NIS America would have been the perfect publisher for Shirobako, but what could be the worst thing that could happen to the show in the hands of Sentai? They could produce a shitty dub, which would suck. But I assume they will at least offer Shirobako on BD. I am not worried because they seem to have finally learned to properly encode video. |

I'm a total physical media guy with no intention of switching ever and I'd defend owning live-action sitcoms on physical media but I really only own two: one is Seinfeld and the other? Sledge Hammer!... oh, no, wait, also Police Squad but that was all on one disc without needing any special standard definition Blu-Ray magic because it was only 6 episodes to begin with. I've had an urge to buy The Young Ones especially since Rik Mayall's death a while back, and I am enjoying The Goldbergs but I'd give it a year or two before deciding whether or not I'd want to "own" it.
I own plenty of animated comedy TV series... that's the bulk of my anime collection if you include slice-of-life shows as "comedy", plus also King of the Hill, South Park and a few others. |

Need to get around to seeing the stupidity that is the breakin' movies. Still waiting on someone to do a blu-ray of the Cannon Group masterpiece Invasion U.S.A. |

Seeing the yaraon articles on Shirobako's victorious ascendance and all the Japanese otaku going nuts over it was the greatest thing. Myopia can be defeated by greatness after all (in case anyone doubted it).
I know you kinda have to sell it as a film about AI if you really want people to go into EX_MACHINA cold, but it's just so weird hearing everyone talk about that movie and not mention anything about spoiler[gender, or the nature of empathy]. And to wit, if you do go into even a little detail about one, you have to bring up the other two as well for it to make any sense. You show one card, you show them all. The Ozu stuff was super neat too, of course. I was actually at a screening with Garland (long story), but in the heat of the moment, I forgot to ask about it. Whoops ^^; Anyway, nice episode. |

Interesting hearing about Shirobako, it made me visit Studio T&T near Shinjuku station:
and buy a "Mont Blanc": |

KonoSuba – God's blessing on this wonderful world!!
