>Get ready anime fans, 2016 is gonna be a big year!

>And what better way to celebrate the start of a big year than with some big changes? You may have already seen one of them: our new logo! You’ll see more of this rolling out during 2016 as we unveil the new look of Funimation. That being said, our new look is only the beginning. The changes we make from here on out aren’t just skin deep – they’re all about giving you a more intuitive, reliable and FUN experience to discover, watch and connect with anime. We believe anime fans deserve the best, and we hope you’re as excited as we are for what’s coming up next!

>As we move through the month you’ll start to see this new logo popping up everywhere we are. But in the meantime, keep an eye out for some more big news coming later today: there’s much more news in the New Year for Funimation, and we want to keep you in the loop!

Seems to be this shit. If they're switching to soft subs in the process, that might actually fix some things.

So they're selling off their dubbing studio?

Hopefully they stop simuldubbing every shitheap show every season.
Then they go bust.

What's not to hate!?

Their stock price is so fucking low, hopefully they go out of business this year.

>>135794367
Incidentally KMB was dubbed by an even worse company

More Gamergate Creepshow dub lines please.

>>135794661
let's hope they go bankrupt

>>135794687
Holy shit. I had completely forgotten about that.
Fuck them. I hope they go bankrupt.

How to support the industry:

1. Buy anime merchandise directly from Japan, preferably BDs but if you're poor then instead get figures, daki covers, even official keychains and mugs if you're stingy. All of those support the industry more than Funi.
2. Watch fansubs for subtitles.

>>135795157
don't forget about manga

>>135795157
>if you're poor then instead get figures
Are figures considered cheap compared to BDs? They don't feel cheap to my wallet.

>>135795446
a season of anime is like 300 bucks

>>135794661
>you're not one of those gamergate creepos are you?

>>135795446
You know how much a Figma costs, right?
That's what a 2 episode BD costs, too.

>>135795506
Oh

>>135795604
Figmas aren't that expensive but almost all scales cost like 10000 anime dollars now.

If they fix all of those things I will actually buy their products. But they still have the same problem as CR and basically any other anime distributor: I can get higher quality products for free from fansubbers.

I guess that they are finally going to make a less shitty app and get their services onto playstation and xbox?

It really sucks that Funimation was the one studio to survive the crash and get stronger because of it.

ADV turned into Sentai and become garbage. Bandai is basically tits up. Geneon and CPM are tits up.

>>135797337
The only thing I've heard of is people being loyal to specific dubbing actors, much like how others get really attached to certain seiyuus. I've never heard of people being attached to one specific company, though if it would be any, it would be Funi, since they use their own roster of actors who hardly show up in anything else. Until they get big enough to move to LA and never return to Texas for recording.

While I understand that late night anime isn't exactly lucrative advertising time, there is no way in hell that a studio would PAY to have their work broadcast. They'd make more money putting it for free online and then selling the BDs.

Why not? Often times the ad breaks you see are just advertising merch from the show, or other shows by the same studio.

Why would the TV station give them the whole block. including ad breaks if they weren't being paid?

Here the product itself might be good, but the company delivering it does it in the absolute worst way and there's no (legal)alternative to them since they have the licensing rights and basically a monopoly for selling this particular show in the region.

Funi is literally only surviving thanks to the licenses they are able to get, the quality of their own work is irrelevant.

That's what the black stroke around the text is for. It's not the 90s anymore or a poor DVD release, we don't need brick yellow subs or darkened visuals for readability. Do they think the brightness/saturation will make viewers go blind?

Graphic designers realize that letters have different heights for a reason right? Even without the ugly ass purple would be pure shit.

>>135797721

>>135802343
They should, especially if they're being paid for a logo. They'd be able to get away with uniform height if the logo was all-caps, but I guess all-lowercase is more fun. I actually don't mind the indigo, but yeah, that lowercase t especially looks fucked up.

Let me guess, you're one of those who believes that any thread about a show that is currently airing is a general (even if it aired the same day), and people should make more and more threads about anything they watch instead of looking for a thread that already exists because "fuck generals".

>>135802484

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

There's lots of overlap between this decade and the last one. Blame Apple.

>>135804153
At least Apple's logo is actually a logo and not just their name in some ugly font.

I really hate this minimalistic trend we're in right now. It makes everything look all boring and shitty and flat. I want my lively colorful 2000s design scheme back.

But flat design with 'personal' graphics is even more colourful and lively!

I like it, but I also find it has a tendency to look fucking boring if you don't set it up in an interesting way.

>>135804396
I really don't see how this is all that different.

I'd prefer an industrial 70's/80's design.

>>135804460

It's official. They are dying, aren't they? Stocks all time low, no one is bothering with their shitty shows, dubs fucking suck ass. How long will they still try to suck our dicks?

>>135811911
>stock at all time low
Funimation is privately owned there is no stock.

>>135812318
Still doesn't change the fact that they are still sucking a lot of dick right now.

>toonami was a mistake

Yeah, pretty much. However you're giving them too much credit. For starters, unless you're some retard from /co/ they don't need Toonami to survive in the slightest. Secondly, i highly doubt that anyone who watches shit on Toonami buys DVD/BD. They probably just watch whatever shit is on with a smug sense of self-assurance that they're "supporting the industry"

>People who buy shit from NA distributors only support that company

In all fairness the Japanese companies probably receive SOME form of compensation. However importing obviously gives them more money, but they most likely don't check where the money comes from (but it's more money all the same). My old roommate imported a bunch of Cross Ange shit with the misguided sense of showing the fact there are American fans, which is dumb as fuck

>>135814931

TV exposure is still a somewhat viable marketing tool, though it probably isn't as effective as it used to be for this sort of thing.

>>135815335

Toonami worked in 1999-2002ish because you had it on at the right time: when middle schoolers came home. Midnight Run helped as well because it was daily, but just moving to Saturday doesn't really make for the same level of growth.

>>135815335

I mean it's hardly worth the effort. Literally.

Toonami is a rusted car they brought back for shits and giggles, and is a shitty idea. There is literally no reason to watch it in this day and age. Hell even streaming is better. Why watch a show that came out years ago that everyone knows about when it's probably on Crunchyroll or Netflix anyway? Plus you have the options of subs and being able to watch it whenever.

From the looks of it /co/ does nothing but complain that they don't air "good" stuff anyway, or are appalled that Family Guy is obviously more popular over here than anime. What a fucking shocker.

>>135815601

This is partially why I was excited for when Sci-Fi had that Ani-Monday block. Too bad that channel sucks at programming and is more ads than content, because I like the enjoy of constantly playing OVAs and films.

>>135799857
How likely is that, considering they didn't simulcast it?

I wonder if Funi is aware of how shit they are or if they just don't care.

>>135799857
Releasing a show that the west don't even care about, really?

>>135811047

Thanks, doc.

>>135788578
what does this even mean

>>135797106
Only time I used CR was when the last 2 episodes of Oreimo 2 aired.

I think one of the reason I don't use CR is because of Oreimo's last episodes. My brain made the
>CR = bad shit
connection.

The only anticipation they'll ever get out of me if they announce the dub for Dragon Ball Super.

Why?

Where did they say they were working on an original show?

Maybe because China's stock market has went to shit in the past few days, bringing the rest of the world with it.

classic != old

classic = most popular/critically acclaimed

The second. They made a half assed apology and never bothered to discipline the guy who forced gamergate into prison school.

I'm not even a purist but why.

It's not "classic" until it has stood the test of time, showing that it's not just a fad.

You guys realize those aren't Funumation's stocks? Speed Commerce Inc. used to be Navarre, which used to own Funimation.

>>135815157
Pretty sure they have to pay royalty fees.
If I recall 4kids got sued for improper royalty deductions and lost their license to yugioh.

>>135820806
To misquote Mark Twain: A classic is an anime that everyone wants to have watched, but no one wants to actually watch.

>>135789763
>>135796021
>>135796100
No, you both mean "flat" the new design trend is flat design. Windows 10 is the best example of this.

Introduce Operation: Double Agent.
We place a spy in Funimation's headquarters in which he'll plant a Hi10p bomb causing every computer in the area to BSOD, and wipe their HDDs on shutdown.

With this, Funimation has no choice but to receive help from their rivals Crunchyroll.
Our spy is then employed by Crunchyroll, gaining access to their headquarters in which he can plant a similar bomb and shut them down.
With FUNimation and Crunchyroll gone, Fakku is in deep water.
Our spy is then ordered to get behind enemy lines and plant a remote listening device to gain knowledge of their nefarious plans.
Then he is to exfiltrate by sea in order to not be detected.

Fakku knowing it is the last of its kind will have tightened up security, patrolling guards and cameras.

Minimalistic is an intentional absence. Flat is just lazy.

if /g/ hates it, it's flat

Why the hell would you work at a fucking anime localization company if sexual content offends you? I've heard some horror stories about the employees though.

While the typography is pretty bad, that's not a very high salary for a graphic designer. Also if this person is on staff then logo design is probably not their main job. They probably do all their web design too. A "graphic designer" is not a "logo designer." They probably don't specialize in branding. If funimation wanted to actually invest in a comprehensive rebrand they would contract a third-party firm for at least a hundred thousand and a couple months' work. This designer is probably an overworked grunt with a whole committee of executives giving them line-readings constantly. If this is actually the only "graphic designer" they employ, as your post implies, then it's highly likely they are overworked and underpaid.
