I really should use my journal for something other than spazzing out and bitching about things. But, well, eh. I know I haven't responded to comments from my last two posts and I apologize for it. I just felt weird saying "thanks. <3" to everyone. My friend did come over to NH/MA last weekend and I spent some time with her. She's doing okay, as okay as she can be doing anyway. And I gave her all of your condolences.
Now to completely change the subject. Bitch-rants I typed up at various times during the day.
Dropped TP titles.( Bitch-rant about that )AND NOW SOMETHING ELSE THAT HAS ME ANGRY.
Nabari No Ou's is officially out of fansubbers now. After nineteen fucking episodes, we lose the series. AND IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN LICENSED OVER HERE. Sucks either way, but at least if it was, we could possibly get the last seven years in, oh, what, a year and a half?
NnO is the only anime I'm even watching this season because everything else either ended or totally sucks. And now I might not even be able to watch that. If a series isn't even licensed, I don't know why the hell they have to be pulling all these cease-and-desists out of their asses.
( Bitch-rant about THAT. And why fansubs are awesome. )And no, I don't find it odd that I support fansubs, hate C&Ds, and still get pissed when companies drop my favorite titles. Tokyopop is suffering financial difficulties because 75% of what they publish totally SUCKS. Some sort of discrimination is required as a publisher. I sincerely doubt that manga and anime companies are going out of business because of scanlations and fansubs.
If anything, they should take advantage of them. Watch which series pick up multiple fansubbers/scanlaters and are downloaded en masse. Pay attention to what series collect fandoms. If it sells in Japan and if kids worldwide are clamoring to download it the second it comes out in English online, chances are it will sell here. Why should WE suffer because THEY waste their resources publishing total shit?
//end mindless rage. And yea, I swore a lot. I spent the last four hours watching Prison Break, like I need an excuse to swear.
PS for fun - Someone called the store where I work yesterday. They were asking for a specific brand of socks. I asked him if he was aware of the fact that we were a BOOKSTORE. He said yes. OH MY GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYY. Too bad he didn't ask for lady's panties, because we found a pair of those on the floor today. AGAIN, WHYYYYYYYY!!??? TIERIA HATES YOUR CLOTHES, BUT DON'T TAKE THEM OFF IN PUBLIC.
