From what I can see he has 11 anime roles and 6 of them are bad guys, out of which only 3 really have much of a speaking role. Really kinda young in the industry to be complaining about something like that. Half expect his next tweet on the subject to be that he hasn't had work in months and doesn't know why. I mean he can always turn down the jobs. It is a shit roles down hill industry. Honestly surprised he even got some of the roles he has with as little experience. Many voice actors aside from the ones who pretty much founded anime dubbing spent years doing grunts, background talking, and side character voices before they'd even become part of the main cast let alone a main protagonist. I can understand the frustration feeling like you've been typecast. Though the complaining just comes off as a little ungrateful and mentally unstable. Really turn down the work and possibly look into another career if it's causing an existential crisis. His second tweet is giving me some school shooter this guy should be on a list vibes. It's never good when someone is saying the voices are bleeding through and affecting how they think and reason. I do remember asking at a panel about emotion and does it affect them. I know it's different strokes for different folks, but for the most part they said no. The exception I guess was Karbowski who cried because Clannad made her sad. Either way hope the guy gets his life together, maybe gets a good therapist. He does seem to have good potential as a voice actor, and funimation kinda needs new blood so we aren't hearing the same 8 voices every show.

They came back as a kind of small activity park from what I can gather. Kids play with toy demos then can buy them. I believe that the motive is more complex than that as play testing toys before you buy them doesn't feel like it would do anything to fix sales. I believe that they are recording how kids play with toys and selling that data to toy companies. Recording and selling data like that a big business in itself.

It would have to be 1948-1958 since in 1958 they changed the name to toys r us . If he is old enough to actually remember going there I'd say at least 68 years old possibly early 70s.

I guess we differ from opinion on this, because I view all fictional media as being fine. I believe that people who are already not quite right in the head, could normalize these acts. In those cases though it's always someone was a creep from the start well before they were arrested. The problem is though the idea of "if removing this media that I don't see merit in will reduce a crime then it should be done". Which then can be brought over to the video game scare. Killing an NPC is not really something that 99.999% of gamers will act out in their lives. Though there's that .1% that are mentally unstable and might kill someone because of a game. I'm sure if devs would put in child murder in the games though that we'd have to have a huge increase of child murders because it's now normalized. I also feel that if something is viewed as fine in a book then it's fine in other mediums. Bridging mediums in my view just makes it more readily accessible to a larger audience. Larger audience more chances that someone who is a creep or deranged will see it. Some people are just fucked in the head. It a very small percent of the population in america. Something like 0.04-0.08%. Out of that how many really are watching and buying anime? I mean it's fine to have a problem with it and not like it, but I view all fictional media as having a merit to exist. Like I don't like that one show that glamorizes teen suicide. I feel it's far more likely to be something that teens will act out than rape or murder. Though at the same time I do feel that it has a right to exist. Either way that will be an agree to disagree I guess. As for China and Japan though. It's kinda hard for the anime and manga studios to specifically cater to China. They ban shit like whinnie the pooh as a mocking depiction of their leader. They don't allow any depictions of Homosexuality, No Ghosts, Spirits, or depictions of a life after death or an afterlife, no graphic violence, No depictions of Chinese being villains, No depictions of Chinese being a gag character, No depictions of Chinese sterotypes ie always shut eyes, No Prophets, Chinese can not be rescued by someone of another race or nationality, Chinese cities can not be depicted as congested with traffic or run down, etc. So it's difficult for studios and editors to tell a mangaka to write their story around these limitations. When most of them are working freelance or are adapting an existing work. Grave of the Fireflies was banned for making the Japanese of WWII sympathetic. When the US caters to China it's like Oh hey Tony stark has a Chinese friend that gives him advice in a single scene and is never seen again. That is a lot harder for Japan. I'm sure someone working on GhostBusters was like wtf when China demanded there be not Ghosts in the film.

I don't think that prep time is going to be an issue. I think more of the issue is going to be on the AV side of things. Especially if they do this with all panelists speaking from their own homes, and using all their own computers and equipment. If that is the case it's going to be a nightmare for AV due to everyone using different equipment and internet connections. Either way if it's from home or the studio I assume they're going to be setup already. It will be "okay we're going to go over to so en so now take it away" then the camera goes to whoever is up. Biggest side of problems though is more likely than not going to be their web player. Traffic requests could make it lag hard and crash. People who need to refresh the page could be sent to the back of the que and miss out on the stream. We'll hear a lot of "it's our first time doing something like this, sorry please bare with us". I hope they can figure it out and know the problems that other live streams have had, and aren't going into this blind. Though with the technical limitations I have seen from them in the past many of which they still don't fix, it doesn't look good. A lot of people are going to be pissed if the work around for their web player is like the work around of watching streams on their site that they give people which is "turn off add block or use a different browser, or watch on the app which sometimes crashes when loading shows and lags if too many people are on at the same time".

This, I think I'd do well

I feel like this is a trick to blind me, and everyone is in on it except me.

The odd thing is the past 2 weeks I've been eating the fuck out of chunky clam chowder.

Funimation can hardly keep an app or their website video player running without crashes. I'm not optimistic about them doing live viewings and having tens of thousands of people trying to watch at the same time. Just sense the joe bob shudder problem again.

They say space smells between burnt meat, welding fumes, and sulfur. So you're probably spraying yourself with fart juice.

They found one dead hornet in a shipping facility out by washington and felt it was probable that there could have been more that escaped.

I'm 6'2'' but I tend not to think of myself as tall because a lot of the people I hang around are as tall or taller than me. I know some people who are 6'4'', 6'6'', 6'7'', 6'9''.

Boruto series did her fucking dirty. Also cutting off Hinata tits. Shockingly as reduced they were made in the boruto anime they're smaller in the manga. Ikemoto's art style was so bad that Kishimoto had to come back draw the concept drawing for the boruto anime so that they wouldn't be too off model. Many people think that Ikemoto got pushed back to just a writer for Boruto because the art style in the manga has drastically changed for the better. Ikemoto Suspected Ikemoto taking a back seat and just writing and having a ghost artist Kishimoto

I mean does it really surprise you when series like DOA which are known for fanservice get censored. I mean they already changed the 14 year old girls age to age Unknown, what more do you want! If youtube mouthbreathers have anything to do with sales then Last of us 2 wouldn't have sold a single copy, because all people did was bitch about that since it's E3 reveal. Still I think it would be better if they just made new IPs to cater to these crowds that want everything that isn't in an existing franchise, rather than insert it into existing ones. Hell Overwatch has a few lesbian and gay characters. Though they were doing a story line with Ginji and Mercy and fans flipped shit till it got dropped because they didn't want a straight romance in their gay game, and wanted mercy to be in a relationship with phara. I don't really see how that's any different from the mouthbreathers flipping shit about ellie being a lesbian.

China I think is more interested in taking anime and manga for themselves than accepting that they enjoy something made by their natural enemy. They have been offering animators and mangaka higher wages to move to China and create Anime and Manga for the Chinese market. This has caused some worry in the industry as they may have to start treating their workers as if they were human and dear god....pay a livable wage.

Kodomo No Jiken's anime really came out at the worst possible time in Japan. Right when there was a half dozen cases of school teachers having sex/molesting students in Japan. Also a curve ball that it's a woman who wrote that series. That one is a little more cut and dry as it's elementary school kids. I can separate reality and fantasy though I know that there are people who can't or choose to view it the same as if it's a real person. Though then we have the issue that has been popping up and that is the baba loli/old person in a loli body. Character like Bisky from HXH really in her 50s but has a loli body. Some series have elves, dragons, vampires, and other monster girls hundreds of years old but look like children. Dokuro Chan did the reverse hand had a stacked adult looking woman angel who was really only 9 years old. Then there are lots of anime where kids are hurt or killed. Should those stop being a thing? Really I think japan would say fuck off if the outcry got that far because battle shounen are their bread and butter. Though if we're treating fiction as if it's real life then where do you draw a line if there even is one since according to some there is no difference. It is odd though that you brought up the kids emulating anime characters or having a chuunibyou phase. I don't really keep up on kids trends really, but it seems like while anime is more popular with kids and teens there is far less chuunibyou shit happening. The anime bubble pretty much started my senior year so there weren't really people openly admitting to watching anime at my school. Though youtube was full of cringe like people practicing hand signs and dancing the hare hare yukai. You don't really see kids online anymore doing that shit. Nearly every other anime has some kind of dance, you don't see kids doing that. I wonder if kids became more self aware of cringe or what happened with that. Then again tik tok is a thing so maybe the cringe just changed some. As for parent outrage, it's hard to say. Our generation is very mixed on what is and isn't acceptable. It's kinda odd how the more liberal side of the anime community is for censorship while the conservative side is heavily against it. My only problem with Interspecies Reviewers and funimation is that funimation sent out DMCA against streaming sites that were hosting fansubs of it. That's kinda horse shit in my book. If you're just going to hold onto the license and do nothing with it, don't be an asshat and make it impossible for anyone to view it just because you're embarrassed that you fucked up. Then they were issuing DMCA's on youtube for people talking about it. It's like come on guys just take the hit on the chin and move on.

I have more worries about some of the censorship lines. Like was being said in the video some places are censoring things based on the face of a character looking too young, or the age is too young. That's like 90% of any anime with a romance or ecchi/fanservice element in it. Should we Ban series like Evangelion, Tenchi, School Rumble, Highschool DXD, Naruto, etc. Then what about the endangerment or death of minors I don't think we can have that in a world where there is no line between reality and fiction. I remember years back some edge lord kid at my old HS got caught with a "hit list" in a Death Note book. Parents freaked and Walmart and Best Buy removed their anime sections for like 3 years. I digress I don't think that Japan should try to cater to Americans. Their own market is the majority of sales for anime and manga. If you like the series then buy it if not then fuck off and find something else. Like if I wrote Anger Orchard and told them I like carbonated cider but I don't want the alcohol and to make just carbonated cider for my preference, they'd probably tell me that their product is not for me and to buy a soda machine and cider. Then rather than going to an alt option I get pissy and start a twitter campaign to force what I want. I mean for a capitalist society we sure have an Authoritarian approach towards companies.

Didn't say all the games. The last last of us game was one of the best selling games on the platform, not really any shock that the next one did well. Had the first game had Joel as a gay protagonist making out with Bill in the trailer it probably wouldn't have sold that well though. DOA 6 only sold around 300k copies due to censorship while 5 sold 1.6 million. Cod WWII had the 3rd worst opening week of a main series game, I mean being a woman fighting on the front lines in WWII didn't happen but I think it was an alt reality because people had mech shit so it's not an issue. Though wtf is the option to be a black woman and play as a nazi??? Why would they even make that an option? Wolfenstine new order had a black female communist as a hero and had far worse sales than the previous game. Youka-laylee lost over half of it's pre-order sales when they cut jontron. Jon even put out a tweet telling people that his role was minima and only involved him making a few gibberish sounds and not to have his removal be the reason behind canceling. The game soon dropped to under $20. Dishonored 2 went bust. So we get a success story for about every dozen or so flops. Especially when elements are just leached onto an existing IP or censored when an IP is known for fanservice. Can't really think of any IPs though that weren't attached to an existing IP that have done well.

I feel like patreon is going to have the same backlash and rebound that Tumblr had. A year ago Tumblr was like we're removing all the porn. Then everyone dropped Tumblr. Checked the site the other day. So many news feeds people have are just full of porn. Sony has lost a lot of revenue by publishers just jumping to the PC market because they said that they're cracking down and censoring content, because rated M games where you can murder people is okay but sexualizing characters is not. The games with woke themes in them that they're putting out are bombing. TV series that are trying to appeal to this small demographic that want this kind of content are going bust. The Sony Ghostbusters reboot went bust more because of the toxic get woke or be a misogynist marketing that they had. It is failing hard for these companies. The artist that makes these images below is a Japanese woman and people on twitter were calling her a sick racist pedophile on twitter which made her cry and leave the platform for a while. The context was that she had a character saying dues vult dressed as a knight. The thing is that she wouldn't have known the western use of the word which many don't know unless you're on 4chan and use /v/ and /pol/. There's a game where you play as either Crusaders or Islamic defenders and people on the Crusaders side spam duse vult which is semi translated to God wills it/It's gods will. /pol/ adopted it to say when talking about ethnic cleansing/genocide. I mean it's easy to tell her grasp on english isn't the best, but the flipped shit on her going full toxic. I'm in the camp of if you're outraged by something then I guess it's not for you, don't watch or consume said media. Don't bash other people and dictate their artistic freedom. Companies get scared by this but honestly the only times I've ever seen profits drop is when they cave. If companies would push back they would see that the ones yelling and screaming are not their consumer base.

It's all fun and games until someone calls you and your sign on their cute bullshit.

She more than likely didn't care that you made the legs comment. People don't like it though when others talk to or pet a service animal. They get trained to ignore that stuff, but they don't want them taught bad habits.
