They started to simul-dub.
HS corrected Funi rip, they don't have a shitty contrasted video anymore but it's still shit.
They picked up a lot of anime that their viewers dropped after one or two episodes (Absolute Duo/Yuri Kuma/Arslan Senki/Chaos Dragon/Aquarion Logos/Kuusen Madoushi/Ranpo Kitan/Sore ga Seiyuu!/Shimoneta/DBSuper?)

It's not just that. When ANN reported Funi's responses on it I saw comments from users saying they had no idea what the phrase meant. Internet wars are still niche enough that internet users won't always get it.

Also, it's suggesting a lot about the character and their interests that weren't in the original text. Pop culture references will always make it seem like a character watches certain media or likes certain artists, so it has to be equivalent to the author's intentions when lines are changed. Either way Japanese school girls in Japan shouldn't care.

Funi, Sentai and ADV(RIP) are/were in Texas, near Dallas, so that's the top destination for weebs wanting to voice act. New York was the other one in the 90s, but since Central Park Media shut down, that's taken a hit.
There was never a huge dub scene in CA aside from Los Angeles, where you and everyone else go to see their dreams of all walks of showbiz wither and die.

ADV became Section 23 and Sentai Filmworks.
Section 23 being the part of Texas law they exploited to pull such a restructuring in the face of bankruptcy.
>>
>>135761090
ADV is still around in some form, but they've sold off just about all their assets and licenses. Sentai was founded as a spin-off of ADV as a way to continue licensing and poorly dubbing anime without the baggage of ADV's bankruptcy.
>>
>>135759215

probably change their application to be more like Crunchyrolls. For some retarded reason Funi only likes to give people access to 1 or 2 episodes of a show ontop of ads if you aren't subcribed. at least Crunchy lets people watch it all if only a week late. Like its no wonder you never hear people talk about watching Funimation, its because not even funimation wants you to watch it.
>>
>>135761166
They were pretty bad, but they are only guilty of using modern American slang, and lingo. That in itself would date the anime, not so much. Not using pop culture references that would date it worse.
>>

>There was never a huge dub scene in CA aside from Los Angeles, where you and everyone else go to see their dreams of all walks of showbiz wither and die.

I know but Sabat could do well voice acting in general,he has that kind of talent.

DBZ is still their meal ticket. I'd say seven.
>>
>>135761350
True. Most anime actors do much more voicework than anime because any one of them will tell you that anime will NOT pay the bills. So most do stuff like industrials, which are narrating small time videos or other projects that usually aren't commercially released, but still pay. Like if you've ever worked at any retail job, they've made you sit and watch shitty videos with people horribly acting out the job you're doing and if there's a narrator, there's a chance that's an anime dubber paying their rent.
>>
>>135761168
I can only come up with justification for maybe 5 of those 22 to be immediately put into dub production.

That's Funi's biggest drag right now. They're doing the simul-dub to be on top of any hit from Japan as soon as it's out. But that also means they're right on top of any flop as it comes out and they're obligated to see that shit through to the end.
If they want to survive, they can't keep banking on EVERYTHING being a money-making hit and only simuldub normalfag-friendly casual titles that have a big enough name behind them that can insure they turn a profit.

I just want to say, I'm glad companies like AnimEigo and Discotek are still around.
I've loved the BubbleGum Crisis BD that AnimEigo funded through Kickstarter and am waiting on my copy of Otaku no Video and will be giving money to their Riding Bean campaign once they get it going.
I like using new technology like Kickstarter to do more efficiently what AnimEigo did in the 90s.
It's getting notice, too. They hired Sonoda to do some art for the campaign for BGC and he did even more art and a mini-manga when they got around to Otaku no Video. Also, Gainax opened up its old offices and dug out a bunch of goodies to give to AnimEigo to give to its backers. I was sad that I was too late to get any original Gianax OnV posters.
I also love that Discotek is still around, not big, but they're often able to grab the rights to obscure and older titles that have fallen through the cracks that Funi was too good for.
>>
Step 1: Fix the website.
Step 2: Stop wasting money on dubs no one wants. Release subs and if it gets popular offer a dub upgrade.
Step 3: Fix the website.
Step 4: Fly all the ADR directors to Japan so they can learn how to do it right. Better yet, fire the assholes and bring a couple Japanese guys here.
Step 5: Fix the damn website.
Step 6: Theatrical releases. Nothing better than getting weebs to pay twice for anime.
Step 7: WHY THE FUCK CAN'T YOU MAKE A PROPER WEBSITE FOR WATCHING ANIME THAT DOESN'T LITERALLY RAPE YOUR EYEBALLS

This flagrant disrespect for the source material and cutting shit out to push your own political agenda and show the feminists (who, by the way, won't ever touch a show like Prison School; not the feminists who would be pleased by this jab at least) that you're a good boy should result in the person/people responsible being fired.

If you couldn't do any better to properly adhere to the source material, that's different. Here, they just chose not to: ergo, they deliberately did a shit job because they were more salty about an online hashtag than they were professional about doing their job.

I wish I could start a new dubbing company and pick up shows that somehow get passed up by everyone but probably has a really small niche fanbase.

If you want a comparison to an actual company, KO (coca-cola) traded 16,245,132 shares @ $42.32 today, or roughly $685 million.

I feel like Funi became super shit after ADV came back as Sentai. Think about it.

Sentai somehow kept globblong up shows thay were never gonna dub. More than half their catalog is sub only. This in turn forced Funi to do simulcast/dubs.

Also the quality of their dub scripts dropped. They add in buzzwords, memes, jokes that you would see in a Sentai dub so they can appeal to casuals.

Its like Funi is scared of Sentai for some reason even though Sentai poses no treat at all.

Gamergate had no reason to be referenced, none at all. I wasn't mad about it because I "support it" I was mad because it was even mentioned at all.

And anyone who complained about it was called a supporter of GG, death threats, and rape threats. That made me fucking mad. I hope that writer is fucking fired.

Stop with the simuldubs. There is no reason to dub an anime if you won't be able to sell it on home video, and dubs are already of varying quality that producing them quickly just makes them worse.

This, holy fuck. Viz completely BUTCHERED Hunter x Hunter 1999 with their abysmal dub, they even fucked up with the DVD releases.
I don't care for dubs but I shiver at the thought of Viz ruining 2011, which they will most likely do anyway. They simply won't be able to pulling off several characters in English.

IF they were any good they'd be members of SAG FACT

>>135761137

Funi and Sentai are in Texas, but Viz and Aniplex seem to do a lot of stuff with Studiopolis which is in LA. Plus as far as VA stuff goes a lot of video games are done out there too along with promo/commercial work so California is a better bet
>>
>>135775033
Those that weren't part of SAG(not much of an accomplishment, really) were often part of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists(AFTRA) which recently merged with SAG so now most VAs(anime, vidya and 'Murrican toons) are members of SAG without effort.

Sentai releases most of their stuff sub only, and are actually the biggest distributor of anime in the US as far as actual products released annually.

Funimation plays the long game by dubbing almost everything they get, assuming it's something they think they can dump. I used to work in a video store and Rosario + Vampire was one of our best sellers for a good while. The first season of High School DxD as well, which is fucking weird they would even dub that. Hell they even dubbed Show By Rock

So why is it ok for other medias to use pop culture to spread their agendas?

Such as the new Star Wars movie. The movie is clearly anti white and blanda up propaganda, but no one bitches about it.

And that's why companies are retarded

There's a difference between actually using a media to directly spread pop culture and bullshit that exists solely inside your brain.

>>135775466
You're going to tell me that all the villains were white was a coincidence, and that the scene with storm trooper with the stick just happens to have a riot shield that looks much like what cops use and the "black guy" just happens to beat the storm trooper?
>>
>>135775710
>You're going to tell me that all the villains were white was a coincidence

Yes

If they had a part where they literally said "yeah black lives matter" or "you can't beat me with your male privilege" you'd have a point, but they don't this is just your interpretation of it so it's not the same as what funi did
>>
>>135775323
Not agreeing or disagreeing, but if it was made to push an agenda from the get-go, that's different than completely changing something that originally wasn't.
>>
>>135775710
Considering the Empire was not-at-all-subtly based on the very pro-white Nazi Germany, there's a reason they've very white.
Other than that, your ramblings are the sort of pathetic shit /tv/ would come up with.

Have you heard of the term, subconscious indoctrination? The black guy won against the cop trooper so now people will draw parallels to cops in real life and view cops as "bad guys" and make people more against authority.

>>135775777
There is if it demonizing an organization that try to defend crazy people.

Not that there's any thread left to save.

Oh look, Setnai just licensed another fucking generic high school series that won't be subbed and probably by brought by like 50 people.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-01-06/sentai-filmworks-licenses-girls-beyond-the-wasteland-anime/.97284

I guess Funimation needs to respond by simuldubbing something that fans won't care for in 3 episodes.
>>
>>135776358
Oops. Meant won't be dubbed by Sentai.
>>
>>135759215
Just dub Dragon ball super will fix this

>>135776092
>>135776170
There was no reason for a scene where the Storm Trooper to have a stick and riot shield in the first place. You didn't see things like that in the older Star Wars.

So there is no reason why the gamergate dub should bother anyone unless they have some leftist bias.
>>
>>135776260
I'm not derailing anything. It just makes me question why it's ok for one side to spread their agenda, but it isn't ok when the other side does it too for anime? I mean, I don't see you guys getting up in arms over dubs when they put in their leftist ideals. I mean, do I need to remind you about Angel Cop and how much the dialogue got changed?
>>
>>135776358

Why someone will buy it to begin with?.

Sell off the company to the chinks. Fuck the western market and just pander to chinese speakers.
>>
>>135776752
It's because you're comparing apples and oranges.

Let's say for the moment that you're right, and Star Wars: TFA is specifically trying to push an agenda. Sure, that sucks, whatever. But the anime in question was made with no such agenda, and was altered after the fact in order to do so. That alteration is what we're objecting to, not necessarily to the pushing of agendas itself.

TFA is a cake with chocolate frosting. The anime was a cake with vanilla frosting, but someone came and scraped some of it off and added some chocolate to it. We're not objecting necessarily to people making chocolate cake, we're objecting to people altering our vanilla cake.
>>
>>135777771
It's the same shit as Barry Watson was pulling back in the early 2000s with the DBZ dub, punching up the script with stupid bullshit like 'mondo cool,' and jokes about shampoo or being a shoe salesman.

Fuck, just make the dub script accurate and you will still please people that watch dubs, and you will also please the people that give a fuck about accuracy, and not having stupid 'haha get it' jokes for the sake of the script-writer getting their jollies.
>>
Hire Daiz.

>>135778700
I agree with this

Simply put, there isn't that big of a market for just anime outside Japan.
Anime in Japan, as you know, complements with other kind of goods and has a very dedicated fan core.
>>
>>135760129
if it were just them injecting their shitty personal biases into an anime where it didn't fucking belong, that'd be one thing.

but the people involved with this line decided to act like royal douchebags on twitter about it, going after people questioning their decision and trying to come up with excuses for why they couldn't just dub the line correctly.
>>
>>135758372
Bring back yellow subs
>>
>>135779458
Within America, maybe. But in Asian countries like China, Taiwan and Singapore and those European countries like France and Italy, it's pretty big.
>>
>>135765321
It was okay, I'd say 50/50
>>
>>135758372
I first make it so that I find the person responsible for the subs for both GARO shows and kick them in the ass for translating Makai Priest into Makai Alchemist.

The next step is to make sure I will get the rights for the next Digimon show after Tri.
