I haven't read the IBO thread for about 800 posts because I wasn't current and I'm probably not the only one so it's kinda lovely to pop into the season thread and find a bunch of posts about IBO when it has it's own thread.

sorry :(

He doesn't know where babies come from.

I mean, he knows where babies in general come from, because Orga told him about it. But he doesn't know where those babies come from because storks can't surive in outer space.

Good. I'd love a new BD release, since Aniplex USA's went out of print ages ago. A stream encode that isn't trash (assuming Funimation doesn't renew their rights) would be nice too. The old Funi Baccano DVDs are also very bad.

It would be nice if Funi made any inkling as to what they're going to be doing with the Haruhi and Lucky Star licenses.

Aniplex is not in any hurry to either re-license or re-release the show though. Just like with a lot of their older titles.

I've been meaning to watch Baccano, is fund's release really that awful?

Who did the translation? Aniplex translated monogatari at home AFAIK, did they let funi do Baccano for themselves?

I can't imagine it's so bad as to not make Baccano!, one of the best anime shows made in the past decade or whatever, not worth watching.

No, it isn't all that bad.

The show is perfectly watchable even on DVD as it stands (unless you have problems with the format itself). The dub was also pretty good.

Funimation licensed Baccano! at a time when Aniplex wasn't really doing too much with their own properties. They did keep the BD rights though.

Yen Press or somebody is actually working on translating them.

Shame we'll never get to see any of it animated though.

The ending is Isaac and Miria, on a spaceship, watching obliviously as the sun expands and consumes the Earth as a minor key version of Guns and Roses plays.

I'm still watching it, and I wouldn't call it a harem. There's love triangle elements, sure, but a love triangle does not a harem make.

Bad Seafood posted:

I find myself more annoyed by the books that even fan-translators refuse to translate. A great example of this is Inou Battle. I really want to find out what happens, but due to the way that the author fucks around with alternate kanji readings and fourth definitions for a lot of the words (loving chuunis), nobody's willing to even put down a plot synopsis.

Similarly, we've seen the last of Nyaruko with Miyu Matsuki's death, because literally everything in the books is a cultural reference of some form or another, and nobody can be bothered to write up five pages of translation notes per page of text.
