It won't eeeeeend
Aaaaagh, just end already, week! Now I got my period, not faaaair.
1. I do wonder about the trend with American (and Japanese) anime companies streaming series online. Because, you know, I'd think it would be cool if only they wouldn't IP-block other countries. Then, unless it's a monstrously popular thing, you won't see underground/secret fansubs around. So anyone outside North America is pretty much screwed and left to wait for native fansubs which are lot slower.
2. Oh crap, the scan about the Namco Tales news wasn't fake?! D: D: D: I-I'm still getting the 360 ToV version, bitches. I've said it in several places already, but retconning a story to add a new character and new relationships just reeks of possible Gruyère-like plotholes.Just look at the current CLAMP mangas for an example.
3. In more relevant-to-my-interests novelties, yet another ToA manga spinoff called Tales of the Abyss: Tsuioku no Jade, which I'll hopefully call "Can It Be Keterburg Teims Nao?". Huh. And the writer is one who wrote the game script. The strangest thing, however, is the fact that it's going to be published in Asuka. Does anyone scan the whole magazine, btw? Also, how long will it be, Gaiden-length one-shot or what? It's really odd, but Sunrise's homepage mentions Nebilim so obviously I want to see this like burning. (Is this a sample of the mangaka, however? It looks like an average fanart, bleh)
4. Speaking of manga spinoffs based on videogame, here's manga based on a videogame spinoff (pffft). Gyakuten Kenji. More Edgeworth,yawn hurray. *waves the tiniest flag* I want to play this game, but this manga doesn't seem that interesting or fun. And a Gyakuten Saiban 4 official manga for when, CAPCOM? Sob, I'll settle with one chapter, even. (Gumshoe's faces are priceless, though!)
ETA: Nyanko plushie *_*

edit: Although I know there are some series on CR that are available worldwide.

I wonder if it's possible for youtube to just ban American IPs for those videos instead of putting them down. That way, the US is forced to check the Funi/Bandai/Crunchy/whatever version and no harm is done
unless they download the fansub from a torrent, but that can't be helpedETA: Oh, and I have no idea. The last time I went there, all the series I was interested to watch were precisely the No-Streams-For-Your-Country-Kthxbye ones. So I was all "oh, bugger this" and never came back.
no subject
Yeah I am not really sure what series are available worldwide on CR, I just know some are. The only one I watch on there is Natsume Yuujinchou, I am guessing from what you say that is not available to you :( (but at least there are still subs for that one.)
edit: And the idea of banning a country's IP once a series is licensed is not a bad idea. It's too bad fansubs themselves cannot control this.
no subject
All I'm saying is that it makes no sense to me and it does nothing to wind down the horrible self-centered stereotype most people see in Americans in general. It's sad and it'll be frustrating when it affects me personally.
no subject
I mean I won't lie I am happy to get the free streams and I am upset when I don't get them (hence my recent post about Australia getting FMA and not America) but that doesn't mean I think it is unfair to fans in other countries who are not getting this stuff. And I would never tell a fan from a different country to stop watching fansubs because the series is licensed in the US (streaming or otherwise). Although oddly enough the fans I see complaining about the lack of fansubs when something gets licensed are usually Americans.

Tell me about it -_-; If I read one more anti-fansub argument that ends with 'you can legally watch it online in English now, so no excuses!' then I'm going to smack my forehead into this fine wooden desk in front of me.
no subject
But yeah... it's gotta suck even more for you guys because it is licensed for you but it'll take months to be released on R2 DVDs. If it ever gets there.

AL MENOS ME. DA TIEMPO EN VER TODO LO QUE TENGO QUE VER?! <.<
Yo. No puedo decir que me sorprenda, como dije en el post de Liz, me tocó lo mismo con ToP y ToS y. B-Bueno 8'D;
Mi vida por ese plushie, sob.

No sé, es que como decía en otro post en mi flist, una cosa es que pongan más sidequests e items/disfraces/títulos, y otra es que te metan UN PERSONAJE NUEVO de golpe y casi de la nada. Entonces estás prácticamente enfrente de un juego distinto, no de un port. No va a ser la misma historia ni el mismo gameplay ni de coña.
Estaría genial de cojín ;;

...Hmmm, bueno eso sí, pero quién sabe qué estarán pensando. Tal vez estaba en sus planes originales pero no pudieron. meterla!!1!! O algo. Pero. Séh. *se va a. jugar juegos de Mario <.<*
*aplaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasta a Madara*

No sé yo, pero aunque la hubiesen escrito en borradores igual va a sonar sospechosamente Suetástico. (Bueno, no del todo. Todos los personajes de todos los Tales son especiales en niveles de Mary Sues, in a way XD) Y va, me molesta más la idea de tener dos canons diferentes que el tener un personaje menos para jugar.
*se va a leer doujinshi de AJ, que es lo más parecido que tendrá a manga jamás*

2. I still hate Namco for this. Seriously, what a shitty move, especially because it looks like they planned on doing this from the start because they're hints of this new character in the game. All of this while they kept saying they wouldn't port the game and that it was exclusive of the 360. It really pisses me off.
