FUNIMATION LICENSES WW2 PROPAGANDA

Okay.

>>142248091
That's cool!

This would be just like Netflix, Amazon licensing

>Triumph of the Will

or

>Birth of a Nation (the old one)

>>142248253
So? Disney still holds all their rights to the propaganda that they made too.

>>142248508
because its filthy foreign racist trash, not glorious American truth

>>142248579
Everything is filthy foreign racist trash to someone, US made shit is really no different.

Good.
Old media is very interesting and gives a better perspective on popular mindsets of its time.

>>142248799
fucking filthy traitor

Licensing doesn't imply that they are actually going to do anything with it.
It was remastered recently, shown at Cannes and is getting a Blu-Ray release in Japan with Kumo to Tulip by Masaoka.
One can only hope that they have access to the full script and are going to release proper subtitles for it, but I doubt it will happen any time soon.

>>142248091
yeah, but who is best waifu tho?

>>142248091
Hooray, we get to learn how to pronounce hiragana all over again.

>>142248091
Nobody cares

Of all the things FUNi does wrong, this is absolutely not one of them friendo.

>>142248091
I'm glad this is happening.
I really like those legit releases of old and primitive works from the media, I really liked those official releases of the Tezuka books and I want to see more stuff like that.

>>142248091
Good, its a historis movie nonetheless and certain film holds merit despite propoganda.

You mean it wasn't public domain?

>>142250843
The director lived to like 101 or something, so if it's based on that then it'll still be copyrighted for a long time.

>>142250829
Hey now they've made........two(?) good decisions ever.

If it means more publicity and more easily available older stuff I'm all for this. Anonymoose scratches the itch but that's just one, and the releases are very sparse.

>>142253415
How? It's just one film and it's already available online. The only advantage is if they ever release it (which isn't guaranteed) we'll get better subs for it. But anyway the movie is pretty simple.

Except we didn't randomly sneak attack like those shanty eyed cowards.

Is it okay when an American company re release Popeye shorts during ww2? Because wouldn't it offends the Japanese.

>>142248091
Shouldn't this be public domain now? The only thing I see them doing with this is doing a blu-ray release and completely fucking that up in every way.

In true American fashion, cower in your "invincible" homeland and fan the flames of war until both sides are exhausted and you know which one is worth supporting, swoop in for a brief ending blow and claim all the glory for yourselves.

But that's wrong, we always support the side Britain and France are on. Doesn't matter if we say we're neutral at the time, we're going to be sneaking them arms and munitions.

>>142257499
I'm quite certain that Philippines love them.

>>142257187

To be fair WWI was a bit of a toss up with no clear side having moral superiority. But there is absolutely no excuse for waiting as late as they did to join WWII.

>>142257598
Well their new president certainly don't like the US because he insulted that "Son of a Whore" Trump.

Traitors to the human race, the lot of you.

Why should America have any business in what were essentially two European wars? If Europeans want to kill each other so bad I say fucking let them. Fucking Europeans have ruined the world and now America is left to clean up after their mess.

>>142248091
They licensed it so that it won't be played again in Japan. Fucking Jews are at it again.

That's just their politicians talking, that guy says a lot of things for the sake of support.
Recently he even starts bugging my country about how Bongs took clay from them hundreds of years ago and now we have to gib back clay. Just wait till next typhoon he will start asking for financial and logistic support again.

The US won so hard that it enjoyed decades of prosperity afterward. Europe got bombed to shit and US came out nearly unscathed, that is why it is the winner.

Except that WWI was still a complete stalemate when they joined the war. The USA didn't join at the end of WWI. The USA joining the war was the cause of the beginning of the end.

I watched this, I don't remember it being particularly bad as far as propaganda goes. Iirc it's just the story of that guy and those animals attacking the Americans who look like the bad guy from Popeye. The Japanese don't look particularly heroic, most of the soldier are represented by monkeys. The Americans are shown more as silly than as evil.

People are getting triggered over nothing desu.

>>142256483
Only shit before ¿1929? are public domain.
Everything relased after that date probably will not reach the public domain ever.

>>142263110

>>142263783
That's US law. In Japan things get public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.
Disney hasn't managed to change it so Steamboat Willie will become public domain in half a year.

>>142264022
Mickey being public domain when?

in US it's 2019, but Disney is guaranteed to lobby for an extension again.

Actually America was never neutral during WW2.

Before officially and publicly declaring their entry in WW2, America was already spying and attacking Germany naval activity for Britain.

America was already pretty interested in WW2 and were just pretending to be neutral.

If America really did commit to neutrality, they would have stopped American banks from being allowed to favor whichever European nation they wanted.

Either way, in the end, American taxpayer money was already being used in WW2 way before Pearl Harbor happened.

>>142260399
Germany fucked up by trying to get Mexico to fight the US to keep the US out of Europe.
Not only did the message get intercepted by the British and relayed to Washington before it could get to Mexico, but the Mexican government also realized that Germany couldn't possibly supply enough weaponry to them to fight the US while still at war.

The restoration was cofunded by All the Anime (UK Company) and Funimation. So at the very least, it is getting some form of western release (since it's getting cinema screenings and a full BD release in the UK).
