Jobhan enters the fight

I'm getting Nickalodeon Magazine flashbacks.

Now that I can't have onions I crave them more than ever! Should be good though since I don't like raw onion. Cooking them will kill the salmonella

I remember years back when my walmart did a mistake and just had like 3 hentai DVDs in the anime section. As for manga the closest mine had ever gotten was that it stocks Jump Magazine and a few other anime magazines that have manga chapters in them. I used to get manga at the comic book store near me, but now they only carry the most mainstream ones, and rarely update their stock on them. They will order volumes if you ask, but at that point I may as well just order from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Speaking of which Barnes and Noble has gotten way too damn extreme with shrink wrapping their manga. Pretty much anything with gore or nudity is now wrapped up so you can't read it in the store.

At least it isn't old switchboard days. My grandma used to do that, and you'd have to listen in on all of the calls because the call wouldn't end until the operator disconnected you. It's where the phrase tied phoneline comes from, because if the operator didn't disconnect you after you hung up then your line would still be tied up and you couldn't make a new call.

The last member of the Chordettes died in February this year. IDK if that counts as feels

Past few BD I've gotten didn't have anything other than the textless op/ed. Though I think the most recent ones I've gotten were from sentai which could explain it. Horror film box sets do well at least. Usually because the pack the shit out of them with extras. Pretty much the only way to get people to buy something they've probably already owned a few times already.

They're the ones that got deleted, so I'd assume so. My other one about FLCL and Hamtaro are still there though, just no reply.

Rika Minami from Highschool of the dead

Probably hit a nerve. Maybe he saw me calling him an his friends hipsters as an insult when that's just what they are. Also probably got annoyed when I said that the reason why he disliked Zoids was that it outperformed IGPX. The deletes felt very family guy vs robot chicken or that episode where roger gets roasted on American Dad moments.

The tweet that I read that said Sorry it sucked, made me feel more that he didn't like it. Though I can't find it anywhere.Maybe he removed that one so it wouldn't hurt any working relationships. How I took it in though was that he more agreed with it. Everything else that isn't someone telling him what an amazing job he's doing is like a paragraph of him explaining himself. Like the music or videogames. Also there a quite a few Isekai and adventure series questions on there that he isn't even bothering to address. Probably which is what happened with the I'm sorry it wasn't good tweet that's missing. Something that more would just hurt working relations. I'm guessing hate is a strong word, but for as much as he liked FLCL I think judging by those reactions that he wasn't enthused by what they received. At the same time though you're right and it may have just been him anticipating that fans would bring it up more/sooner than they did.

Couldn't find the tweet where he said I'm sorry it sucked, wtf. At least from the ones that are there he anticipated people bringing it up.

This Sentai and Funimation have pretty much moved on from Bluray/DVD sales to Streaming. I feel like a lot of the decline in physical media has to do with the lack of offerings. I remember some series and features having special features that were more than a textless op/ed. Things like bloopers and commentary are just gone.

I did get a laugh that DeMarco didn't like FLCL prog/alt. He said it sucked. Never answered me though yet as to just "why and how". Like the staff at toonami had to have seen the progress of this. Yet they still hyped it up anyway with staff interviews and other shit leading up to the trainwreck. Also the fuck deleted my comment where I talked about how IGPX sucked and that he has horrible taste in music for hyping up his friends garbage 50 year olds hipster garage bands. Then shit talk successful bands like REM. Someone else called him on it though as well, but didn't bring up them being a hipster garage band or REM. Just said that he plays favorites with his friends music and that it's mediocre. He said that he has some bias. Also the coward won't answer questions about Isekai shows.

FLCL was very under the radar. It wasn't a hated series and it didn't bomb; but it really wasn't remembered all that well. At lot of this I think stems from an interview Matt Greenfield did back in 2007 when he was talking about licensing anime in the 90s early 00s. Weird thinking back that like 13 years ago anime panels were simply a small room and talking across a table to people. Not a full auditorium where you need microphones. Pretty much he says that the Japanese felt that nobody would be interested in OVA series outside of Japan. As well I remember a lot of early anime boom weebs who went to japan around then talking about how nobody really knew what they were asking for on some of the shows that were popular in america like FLCL.
