Funimation - And why they should die.

Someone explain to me why you would only have 15 more episodes of a series to go and you would NOT release them to THE ONLY NETWORK SHOWING YOUR ANIME! They could have postponed the next block of DBZ for 15 days and made the remaining episodes but no! I turn on my TV yesterday to watch Earth explode and WHAMMO! My DBZ is back to the death of Vegeta ~sniffle~ How the hell do you start a business with the outlook, "We're gonna build a HUGE fanbase and dissappoint them at EVERY twist and turn." They already promised that after ALL 3 Dragon Ball seasons are done and DBZ is completed they were going to start DBGT. If these bastards decided to release 15 episodes of DBGT and rerun them for 1 year till the next 17 (Fairly sure there's only 32 episodes in GT) then people will riot since the first 15 eps are fairly pathetic on their own. Anywho, This means I could watch that 24 show but it's 3 or 4 episodes in so I'd be lost.

Also, Funimation, there are things called BOX SETS! Look into em. I love DBZ, DB, Inu Yasha(i think this is funimation), and Yu Yu hakusho but I don't want to buy 15 disks for 30 episodes when we ALL know if they release a box set they can get em all on 4! I'll still pay the $150 they want for the 15 disks but you try finding EVERY disk. Some of them I swear they missed!

Anywho, I think that one of the single most POPULAR shows from Japan culture (Yes it started like 20 years ago and while it isn't going strong people still remember it like Hello Kitty and Astro Boy) would have better representation than this pathetic company working out of Texas.

This is why I prefer downloading and recording my Anime. I can watch the stuff when I want, in the order I want, without disappointment. ^.^

I'm becoming very dependant on my Anime club to provide the needed rescources to sate my otakuness. It's tough, but doable

Well, in my area I AM the anime club... Sure we got the posers or the ones from Tempe who sit around and watch La Blue Girl once a week and have only recently upgraded to Cool Devices (Upgraded to them years ago myself, hehehe) But apparently there is a HUGE calling for anime in AZ but we're such an anal state that we don't like consorting with the enemy IE neighbors. Yes, I admit I'm a perpriator of this way of living as well. As long as you live OUTSIDE my neighborhood I likes ya. But ya move into it and I'm hoping for heads on sticks.

Plus there are MANY misinformed people out there. Like when I was in the movie theater and some kid was reading Love Hina because, "It's like Tenchi only without the space aliens." (Granted YES I do love love Hina but I also love Tenchi and while they both star one guy and a multitude of women EVERY girl in Tenchi loves Tenchi and EVERY girl in Hina [Sept for the aunt and the resident cook...And I think the turtle likes him] hates uhhhh, forgot his name...Blind with rage and all) Now my size 13 foot could only go so far up this kids butt till he started screaming something about Dragonball AF, at which point his kidneys became bean bags! hehehe.

I think that may be my problem. I really don't like people talking about an aspect of anime (My life, my love) that is not true. I get frustrated and deam them incompetent as opposed to helping them see the light....hehehe.

I'll admit straight out that when ya talk about an anime I don't know that I haven't a CLUE what yer talking about. But other people start making up plots to popular shows like Neon Genesis like, "Remember when Rei and Heichi (God I hate spelling Japanese names, specially when I'm guessing at the lead chars name) had that awesome 3-way with Azuka?"

Oh well, I'm done raging for the day...I think. Demon

I feel your pain, man, I really do. I just got so fed up with it that I stopped watching. I was just so disgusted with it all. Now I just watch whatever complete series I can get from my friends, and that's a lot since Seattle's got a HUGE anime community because of all the people of Japanese decent that live here. Mmm... the entire set of Hamlin The Violinist....

I do feel your pain in that it's a pain to find completed series. I just go the first season of Angelic Layer, but it's prooving to be difficult to find the second season!

Second seasons can be pretty hard to find sometimes. I'll keep my eye out for the one you want, Pot.

Thanks Kettle! That would be much appreciated!

Sweet Jeebus you guys post WAY too much...There should be a thing in blow off steam to complain...hehehe.

Anywho, thanks for the sympathy. I feel better today but I'll probably still rant and rave about something cause I like the rather creative things I say. Which makes me ponder why I'm more like Dib then Johnny. (Se Whatever/ Which one are you?) Oh well, mistery of the universe I guess. Now I'm off to develope my head explody powers.

I second the nomination for an :exploding: smiley. SO many much needed smilies! Think I'll post about them in the Suggestions forum....
Oh, and go right ahead and complain, AzVegeta. That's what this forum is for. You know... Blow Off Steam.
