Feels a bit weird having Evergarden PV's out so many months in advance. Especially with Netflix probably tacking on about 3 more before western audiences can legally see it.

I've watched the first Kino's Journey anime and I quite enjoyed it. Reminds me of Mushishi in tone. I'm pleased of this announcement.

It was a joke about how Crunchyroll is apparently evil and also part of the problem or something. Please don't go into anitwitter or reddit. Apparently, Digibro said something (probably really idiotic) and people are losing their poo poo about streaming services because he "tells it like it is" or something like that.

crunchyroll has issues but of the big streaming platforms they're the only one that isnt completely hosed in some way, and theyve actually helped the industry a lot since japan needs that foreign revenue these days and crunchy is a way for them to get foreign revenue outside of overpriced dvd releases

I was bored and thought that visiting reddit would be a good way to waste time. It was not. But yeah, I pretty much agree that, at this point in time, Crunchyroll is one of the good guys, relatively speaking.

I should probably just go full-blown independent and dedicate myself to compose full time. Spending so much time in front of a computer monitor bores me to loving hell.

I probably wouldn't have gotten back into anime if Crunchyroll hadn't put it all in one place. They are responsible for this.

To be fair, what he said was that he doesn't bother with any streaming service except crunchyroll because they make things so convenient and they're cheap.

His idea about how he'd want to run the industry was pretty stupid however.

It's been discussed in the chat thread before (I'm probably partially to blame, since I watched a bunch of his videos during the 2 months I spent between jobs) and yeah, general consensus is that the dude's a giant douche-drinker.

Ah, this saves me the pains of watching or further reading about it, thanks! I'm guessing it was something among the lines of "Hey, (Patreon or Whatever) works for me! Maybe the anime studios could do the same?"

It was that he wants to watch a whole show and then after he's watched it there'd be a follow up page saying "did you like the show? Click here to donate to the creators" and if he liked it he'd throw 50 bucks at them but if he thought it was just ok he'd only donate like 10 or 20.

Because we all know how generous people are anonymously on the internet after already getting something for free.

The video was basically him saying that he doesn't give a poo poo about streaming sites because the money isn't going directly to the people who made the show and I guess he apparently doesn't think translators/site creators deserve to get paid or something.

I like listening to him because he has interesting views and he knows his stuff but personality-wise he is pretty lovely.

His stance is more sensible than just patreon, he'd like if there was an option to donate directly to the relevant studios instead of giving more money to the production committees behind it all so that more money reaches the talent. This coupled with the inconvenience of Netflix as they don't simulcast, amazon prime as they usually have fairly frequent delays plus double paywall and low visibility and blurays being much more inconvenient than searching online.

Digibro has weird stances on a whole bunch of stuff, and he often poorly explains himself, but at least his ideas and analysis is interesting, and probably the best thing he does is promote a discourse by frequently kicking the hornets nest like this.

i'm gonna say the discourse digibro leads to is anything but interesting or insightful and in fact does very little to educate people on anything about the industry or studios or the actual problems with how creators are paid

i watched his old video about pacing in anime and while i totally disagreed with what he said about kekkai sensen it wasn't a bad video but it sounds like more recently he's gotten really lovely and basically all i ever hear from people in relation to his videos is complete poo poo

I finally got around to seeing Your Name and it's, by a gargantuan margin, the best Shinkai I've seen. Shinkai finally seemed to get that people don't just want incessantly dry bittersweet stories carried entirely by their animation and actually gave it a bit of a heart. That it's a movie that he seems to not actually like himself is kind of hilarious but also possibly telling, I guess.
