Top Gun

It's really more to get Nozomi's stuff streaming on a more visible platform. I think they just have most of their series available on their YouTube channel.

Hawt

Yes, we all know that anime fans have fucking awful taste.

Um, no? I mean how many people in the general anime fandom still actively give a shit about that series?

You're entirely over-thinking it. FUNi's lawyers are solely concerned with FUNi's own defense, and they don't want FUNi being named as a third party in separate suits that FUNi had nothing to do with. Their mentioning of Vic's own statements is to further the case that Vic himself admitted at least some degree of culpability. That's it.

Please stop reminding me of the hot fucking garbage that was that series. I'd managed to forget most of it.

They're not "throwing anyone under the bus." They're simply stating the fact that FUNi's own tweets on the matter are the only relevant ones to the suit against FUNi specifically, and that because Vic is a public figure (which he absolutely is), the entire foundation of the suit is invalid. There's a massive difference between not being responsible for any tweets Monica and Jamie may have chosen to make, and making the decision to stop working with an alleged sexual predator who made unwanted advances on other people they were employing. Apparently part of Vic's original suit (absurdly enough) is that FUNi was responsible by proxy for those tweets by other people, which falls flat on its face under any sort of logic. And nothing in that document states that FUNi had any sort of permanent "contract" with Vic, only that, like all of its voice actors, it contracts them independently for specific roles. Seriously your takes on this continue to be complete bullshit.

Oh, you mean "hay guiz look at her she's so hot and thirsty for our milquetoast protagonist isn't this show awesome?!"

You mean how Parasyte was a legit good show and Akame was one of the biggest piles of festering edgelord shit Japan has ever produced?

Levi doesn't fuck around.

Nippleless tits.

That's the best part of this decision. Sure, let's shove the hottest Shounen Jump property in years to the ass-end of the block! That'll make people watch!

If they were going to the Sentai well we could have had something spectacular like Made in Abyss or Land of the Lustrous or Princess Principal. I've heard good stuff about Log Horizon but I'm not sure there's an audience for it left after the shitshow that is SAO.

Considering where I work that would easily get me arrested.

Man I wish someone paid me a lot of money to be this shitty at my job.

This is the first pickup in I don't know how many years where I've had basically zero interest going into it. Smells way too much like shitty otaku bait. Who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

People still watch Hulu?

I have no idea who you are, but all I do know is that you're spouting the same sort of shit that the incel hordes have been frothing at the mouth over since this all started. You may not be using them for sources, but you're definitely coming across in a similar manner.

Based on the rest of your posts in this thread, I think it's far more likely that you're misrepresenting what happened.

...they didn't edit the photos. At all. And they never claimed that those specific photos involved Vic inappropriately touching someone. Again, stop spreading bullshit. ...what are you even talking about? Monica and Jamie aren't the ones bringing claims in court; they know full well that even if they had damning physical evidence, the statute of limitations has run out for most of those crimes. Have you really never heard of instances where people continue to act cordially towards those who have abused them? Because if not, go and read pretty much any survivor's account ever. And if you genuinely think that someone lashing out in anger against someone who abused them constitutes a threat, or can "harm" a case, I don't know what the hell to tell you. Vic's case is the one that's utterly laughable...his pathetic excuse for a legal team had to spell out that he is not a literal piece of human feces. That's the level we're dealing with here. ...again, you have no idea what you are talking about. Many of the incidents did not occur on FUNi's property. It was generally known that Vic was a creep, but the specific details on much of a scumbag he was weren't common knowledge, and corporations generally won't act on mere hearsay. It wasn't until more people started to come forward and more credible evidence came up in their investigations that they chose to make the move. Stop erecting strawmen. Seriously, if what you have is the best defense that Vic can mount, he's fucked. Good riddance.

The jellybean thing is not REMOTELY the focus of the suit. Stop looking at whatever fucking terrible sources you're getting your information from, or kindly remove yourself from the conversation.

Afford? If you're still paying for cable in the year 2019, they're just about a given.

It amazes me that you people still haven't heard of DVRs.

No one "faked" any photos. Stop repeating incel bullshit. The original article used generic photos of Vic hugging con-goers to reinforce the point that he's had a reputation of being touchy-feely with his fans for decades. The article was later edited to clarify the purpose of the photos, but it was never implied that the people depicted were the ones who had filed complaints against Vic. I don't know what the hell you're on about the rape allegation, but if it's from the same place you seem to be getting all of your "news," I'll go ahead and assume it's total bullshit too. And yes, the same Zac who just wrote a column about how Eva is his favorite series of all time totally told you that Angelic Days was canon. Uh-huh. Totally.
