So what was the narrative that Moronica & Company were trying to push again in regards to how pious the Funimation workplace was, and always had been? I am not really certain why really, they are voice-actors, it's normal for them to not work in the same room or even in the same building, but hey who am I to argue. So just to throw some taint on that 'pristine' image they are trying to push. Not that anyone truly believes them to be pure as the undriven snow anyways......
AnimeExpo 2012
To give some sweet sweet quotes from this article:
"Dirty, filthy, sick , bloody, violent and they're whores too. Fans were treated to not only pole dancers at the Funimation booth, but a panel of Panty and Stocking at AX this year. "
So Funimation, the pious no hug workplace; amirite, put up this booth with poledancing. At an Anime Expo, where there probably is no kids or underage people at all? (Do they keep underage teens and such away from the 'adult' booths/panels?)
"Panty and Stocking is all about sex and eating candy, but it's also about two angels with same names as lingerie They have to kill evil ghosts and earn "Heaven coins" to get back to Heaven. "
"Jamie Marchi who was the head writer who revisioned the script told of how she was told by the Japanese creators to make the show as dirty as possible within the confines of American law. "
"When she was asked, along with the rest of the cast, what was in common with her and her character, she thought for a minute. She replied, "Panty has a goal of sleeping with 1,000 men, (paused) I also set goals."
"Monica Rial was shouted out by one fan to have his baby and with her cutesy voice explained how much she enjoyed being so vulgar for the recordings "
"When the cast was asked what their favorite sexual position one of the guys shouted, " On top of your Mom!" than Monica went, "On top of your Dad. The show ended with the cast being asked to do their orgasm sound as their character at the same time, one of the best panels I've been to at AX. "
