I would not under estimate the popularity of Fate in Japan. Evangelion would probably outdraw it, but I don't think it's as wide of a margin as you suggest.

Very happy to see Japan has come to their senses and realize that Asuka and Karwou are far superior to that blue haired doll. Once they realize Misato is also superior, justice will prevail. I also find it greatly amusing that my girl Sakura (with somewhere around 10 minutes screen time) is apparent...

I'm playing it in Japanese, and while I'm a beginner level at best, I can tell there's a lot of differences between what is said and what the dub titles are saying. I wish there was a way to import fansubs, but I'm sure people are going to be translating the dialogue and putting it online. In regard...

The movie that's now being streamed on Netflix is effectively an indie movie not one of the biggest theatrical events in Japanese cinema. This small movie of Colorido just profits immensely from the media exposure, and if Netflix gives them ~100 000$ for distribution they are in the green and don't...

I don't see it happening simply because Japan is pretty stubborn in it's ways when it comes to media distribution. I don't think Toho or Toei are going to buck any trends especially since they almost certainly would make more money if they wait to release it in Japanese theatres. They aren't distrib...

I still need to

Anyone who can translate Anno's letter? Also it's kinda mean of Khara to increase my hype for the film right after having to delay it. https://twitter.com/dehogallery/status/1251072599834017793?s=19 Based on the Google translate of the tweet, looks like the staff can still work from home which is a ...

And just like that we're back to the pre 2018 world of wondering when this movie will even come out.

2020 Really is intent on sucking the fun out of everything.

I think, even if it's a superelevated satire, Shin Godzilla is pretty much a dead-on description of not only the Japanese government, but all of those huge, ancient Japanese mega-corporations in general. They are also too slow and deceited to act quickly and accordingly. Hence why it took so long f...

One way or the other, it means they're no longer certain of the release date. They probably took it down while they discuss what to announce publicly. It could still come out on June 27, but they may not know how effective working from home is for Khara at this stage. The state of emergency could en...

Let's see if that means something.

I think it's pretty obvious what it means

Tv anime are getting delayed now. I've now reached the point that this will be an inevitably.

The question now is how close is the movie to being done. The emergency declaration in Japan could be done by June if things go well, how likely that is I can't say, but even in a best case scenario Khara might not be able to work on the film during this time.

You know, you make a good point. I don't need to swear off the whole internet, just Reddit.

Oh I'm spoiled, there was no way I could hold out with the game in the wild, but I've only looked at screenshots, no streams or anything. Reaction spoiler I personally love that their making this game it's own thing and not a 100% retelling. The ending is really interesting, can't wait to se...

I think a decision will be made in May, don't think they will be eager to delay this so they won't if they don't have to. Whatever direction this is heading in mid May will determine what happens to the June 27 date.

There's not much suggesting this will get better soon, but time will tell.

My assumption that this group of gamers moved on to games like Elder scrolls, the witcher, mass effect or what have you and just assumed that either FF7 was somehow far removed from the anime style of subsequent FF games, or decided that square would drastically alter the game to fit their current t...

What I'm finding funny is there are some people complaining on Reddit that the remake is more anime influenced.... The original FF7 is the most 90's anime thing ever in terms of design, writing, Kanji all over the place etc, It was massive influence in getting me into anime in the first place! Seein...

Just don't know what to think anymore about Japan's approach: https://asiatimes.com/2020/03/japans-winning-its-quiet-fight-against-covid-19/ That article is a couple days old and represents why I was optimistic originally.
