So with that in mind you have two options if you want to destroy the bastards.
A. Build a better Crunchyroll, by that I mean make a subbed anime legal site with a better codex than whatever mid 2000s shit crunchyroll has been using since conception.

B. Get a HiDive account. Sentai is the only trustworthy Anime company in NA and they seem to have a vested interest in providing fans what they want (They bought the rights to the original LOTGH last year, and seemed to be invested in preserving the legacy of older anime as well as new anime)
What about...
C. Use strictly free platforms and pirate everything. Funimation doesn't have a free option, after all and Tubi has been really good for either subbed anime (Adrise made the news recently for licensing Series 2 of "One Punch Man") or obscurities.

Kissanime all the way. Make sure you watch Funimation dubs on Kissanime to give them the full burn. And fuck Mother's Basement.
 
maybe britland is in the upside down where contracts don't mean jack

No, never ever violate a contract in bongland. Especially a written one. Heck, even be careful under Gentleman's Agreement rules, which the vast majority of Brit Society still operates under even if the courts are mostly staffed by Napoleonic Code Mongs.

1) You will be dragged by most people before a small claims court for even the minor contract violations by anyone who wants to protect their own reuptation. Builder friends of mine sadly have to do this a few times with either customers or suppliers not honouring contracts.

2) Violating contract will get out far quicker than even KickVic and you will suddenly be three months down the line wondering why you have no work and why people fob you off when dealing with you on the phone.

3) The only work you get will be from people who don't already know about you being a fuckup who breaks contracts and it won't be too long before they know and will keep a suddenly closer eye on you.


KamehaConUK was badly organised, badly advertised and in a bad location in the middle of fucking nowhere. Violating contracts on top? Hooo boy, good luck getting anyone wanting to come.
 
Paid anime sites are scams anyway. I've said this before a very small percentage of the money is paid towards anyone besides the company who owns the rights of the anime, and for subscription based services they only have to pay once while the customer has to pay monthly. All this stuff about "paying the animators" is untrue, as the legal businessmen and producers will always have the lions share, and the college grad otaku who lives in a tiny cupboard and has no social presence due to exhaustion after a days work get's maybe 0.5 yen from your subscription.
Just pirate and buy merch for those you support, while it still has middle men it is the way that most anime's make their money in Japan and at least won''t lie to you.

Also that captain sugar spice or whatever it's called is a money laundering scheme, they maybe meant to originally produce it but now with the amount of backlash it's easier to just say it's in production forever.

Do people still think animators are something more than a basic contract worker? Do they think every animator is a Mizaki?
 
Probably those who didn't do any research. Vintage Disney, Warner Brothers and a few anime studios made a short films or OVAs on how animation projects are made past and present.

I never got the hatred for ADV, they were despised as much as 4KIDS from what I've been told. ADV had the odd dub here and there as well as the odd anime, but what anime distributor didn't, you know?

It's actually pretty interesting how you get bad dubs or odd anime titles for a studio. Greg Aryes explained that in order to get certain titles from the studio, you have to agree to dub other titles.

In order to get the rights to Bleach, ADV had to agree to a number of other Aniplex titles, one of those being Ghost Stories. The team actually tried to do a faithful dub of the original Japanese, but they quickly hated it. The original animation studio, Pieroth, was against the comedic script, but could do nothing about it due to Aniplex being the licensing authority.

In the case of Toei, they handle both production and licensing, so they have a lot of swing when it comes to contracts, to include who has to voice the characters.
 
Plus we know she lied. Vic himself knew people spread these stupid rumors about him and even talked about them publicly at conventions. There's zero chance he never vented to his fiance about it bothering him.

Oddly, Specht is scheduled to be at a convention with Vic later this month for Star Trek Continues. That could get awkward. Bets she cancels?

Edit: Also Vic's stream from today is up


The voice actor visiting Vic is this guy:

Jeff Johnson, who voices Demiurge in Overlord.

This whole thing makes her look like a salty and manipulative bitch. Let's not forget about the rumors of Guardiola coming to Funimation (mentioned by YellowFlash recently).
If that is true along with the speculations on the love affairs, Soye's days are numbered and this could be the catalyst/prelude to their split. Imagine having Soye pay off the lawsuit because he said he would, and as his usefulness is at an end, she jumps ship again to another man.

EDIT: If Rial and Vic's ex were friends, what if she was the one leaking information the whole time to get back at Rial? That would be some shit.
First of all Ron was never anything more to Rial than a giant soy filled dildo that she barely used and he asked for all this shit to happen to him so fuck that guy. Second, I actually doubt that's the case and only because Rial probably told her something along the lines of "hey, he came on to me" and she just has too much bitterness toward Vic for cheating on her. So she'd rather get back at him more even if it means working with the broad he temporarily chose over her.
It's a bit sad knowing this is Rial made up to look her best. This is is still a beer Google's lay max.
Talk about letting yourself go. Looks like she's out on over 100lbs View attachment 750915
She'd look less like a sweaty neckbeard if she didn't sit at home all day and tweet and actually get a dicking every once in a while.
Michele liked AWL's tweet calling Vic a rapist back in April or so. I highly doubt she actually knows anything incriminating about Vic, she's just a bitter ex who's happy to see her cheating ex bf burn. She's also friends with Skye which is a huge red flag.
That explains a lot about why she's actual shit.

Welp, she's vindictive. Probably Definitely crazy.
Perhaps, something will happen during Neutral Zone. 🤔 On one hand, that could be potentially hilarious. On the other hand, I have way more sympathy for Vic and just want the dude to have some happy experiences with the few cons he's going to, this year.

There will be a big butt Seven of Nine cosplayer with a massive overbite and an orbiter in tow trying another special op. She will have a guest pass, will be found out and will get promptly beamed out.

Unfortunately the problem with pirating is that it won't affect the legal market unless their account books go red. While it does stagnate their potential growth, it also prevents any change from happening. As long as their are people, who through guilt or blind devotion, continue to be subscribers to these platforms they'll keep doing the same shit. You could use pirating as a bartering chip for your demands, but you'd need a rather large and coordinated group of people and you'd have to makesure that group maintained its size.
 
This looks like some one trying to memory hole their involvement in the hopes she wont get called upon for a deposition at the very least. Discovery will probably show some interesting things.
There is no way she doesn’t get called at deposition. Early on Ty and the Amazons would have grilled Vic about her, and what she might say. She, much like an Anti-Slapp filing, is something they have planned and calculated for. Because the defense lawyers would be horribly negligent not to at least question her.

Here is something else that everybody, particularly Soye keeps missing. Vic will not be the one on trial here. Even if they discover some new damning piece of evidence it will probably not come in, because the defendants did not know it prior to the defamatory acts. A bad act by Vic, that is unrelated to what they already specifically accused him of, will have no bearing on the trial as the thing on trial is their acts, not Vic’s. Their defense is proving the specific things they claimed in their defamation to be true. Not displaying some other undiscussed newly discovered bad act.

Let’s look at Toye and Rial. It won’t matter if they discover now that Vic cheated on his fiancé with a costhotat a con. That’s simply salacious. What they will have to defend is telling cons and employers that Vic was about to be arrested for Molesting Children. So they will need to show actual evidence of an ongoing criminal investigation that they had direct knowledge of. Which we all know, is not gonna happen. It won’t matter ifRon suddenly sees that Dragoncon video of Vic playfully joking with the young child. Because he didn’t know about it before, and it’s not one of his 100 victims. He needs to show names, contact info and on the record claims from all of them.
