What does Funimation/Sony Merger have anything to do with Warner Bros.?
Hero Hei stated in a recent video he does a silly voice for his videos.

Coincidentally on my part, has Amanda Wynn Lee of #KickVick and her tweets.

See Steven Universe, my little pony or High Guardian Spice, that's what they ultimately want anime to be, just subversive pastel rich shit smears that ape dumb/weird shit like Sailor Moon or Revolutionary Girl Utena. In other words, they ultimately only want a show that appeals only to themselves, and expect the rest of the industry to shift around their tastes.

Or anime that is about trannies like those obscure manga that no one has ever heard of until the ANN reviewers gush about them. Expect a lot more localization turning characters into trannies in the future.

The cope from people trying to explain how a company being dissolved into another doesn't mean it's dying is hilarious. They're just removing the name, halting their service, and possibly dropping staff from the merger, but funi isn't dead I promise!

Regardless I'm just here to spit on the corpse.

I just hope Vic gets hired back for something.

That's all I want.

In a perfect world, but ultimately the only thing that will be changing is the logo, it will be the same shitty people,with the same shitty views & instead of the funi clique,it will now be the crunchy clique. Even if Sony decides that sabats studio is no longer necessary & closes down Dallas, Crunchyrolls personnel is just as woke, but they don't have the massive egos & social media arguments that I've seen....yet.

Wtf ever happened to Mandy btw?

A quick research from Wiki and it says she pretty much retired from Voice Acting and is currently a Digital Artist. Turns out she was married too.

 

[5t3n0g0ph3r]

Yeah but will crunchyroll still be included in VRV?

Probably not.

What does Funimation/Sony Merger have anything to do with Warner Bros.?

Sony bought Crunchyroll from AT&T, Warner Bros' parent company.
That's all I know why he'd mention it.

[REGENDarySumanai]

Been a good seven years as a pirate. Still need a bigger hard drive though.

Ah that sucks, and after looking back at VRV I see that they stopped offering hidive through its service. I would've been interested in resubbing if it offered that along with everything that'll be on crunchyroll, but now there's no point for me. Wouldn't be surprised if they sack VRV at this rate with how they're clearly restructuring with this deal

I do wonder how many gatekeeping jokes does one have to make so people can understand what’s happening. These kinds of people obey and get enslaved by the same corporations that see anime not just as a money making scheme, but a soulless one that can replace the quality of Japanese children‘s shows marketed to Americans as political agitprop.

Funimation is being made into an example.

 

[Mr._Blonde]

There's one thing that's going through my mind though. What was the budget on High Guardian Spice?

 

[AnOminous]

But still... wow, end of an era for sure, they were a cool company once and I still have a lot of affinity for what they were thanks to things like Fullmetal, I mean it's just as well since the brand was irrevocably tarnished but I'm just sad it played out like this.

Tbh I'm just glad they died as a lesson even if in theory everyone involved is still alive. They could have kept winning with Vic bringing in maybe the biggest anime dub in history and made millions but they decided it was more fun to be fucked up cunts and nuke their own company out of existence.

It's really impossible for me to believe this and Vic have nothing to do with each other, even though it appears Funi was too fucked-up and dysfunctional for even a shithole like Soyny to bother fixing up. I hope they get rid of some dead weight when they fold whatever is left of Funi into CR. And by that I mean get rid of a couple of fat fucks. Like Monica and Jamie.

They have already said the studio is basically going to stay the same, but maybe some the higher-ups are going to be future endeavored.

They can claim that all they like I won't believe it until a year or so has passed and everyone is still there. Why would they want to start a panicked exodus before they even decide who they want to keep?

 

[Dom Cruise]

With Funimation gone, are all the major brands of US publishers of anime that existed circa 2005 now gone? Save for Viz maybe.

Sad to think of that era passing into history.

ADV is Sentai filmworks
Bandai is still around
4 Kids is under a different name and is part of Konami

Stuff like Central Park Media and Geneon/Pioneer went legitimately bankrupt. the mid to late 2000's marked a big trend in anime churning out crap so that's what killed them.

Literally what are you talking about lmao.

What possible connection could there be to Vic and crunchyroll? Last I checked the dude hasn’t been involved with them since 2019 either. Sony took funimations side, and the dude in charge is from the funimation side of the merger.

Like I can’t tell if this is really good satire or not, but vic being black listed did not tank the company, he was a good actor but acting like he was some messiah that would’ve catapulted funimation further and further is absurd.

And while it’s possible they might let go a bunch of the Texas cast…buying crunchyroll wouldn’t affect that decision. Crunchyroll outsources pretty much everything, they didn’t gain new direct talent from the acquisition. If they wanted to let go of people they could’ve done it at any time, buying a huge competitor for anime rights means Sony is gonna have access to way more series, if anything the Texas studio will get more work since their biggest competitor works with them.

I would have maybe felt this way if it was still 2008 or something, but the incestuous nature of this niche industry really started getting on my nerves after that. Barely anyone daring to stand up for Vic even outside of Funimation kind of really reinforced the negative perceptions I had developed about a lot of these people.

Kind of feel like the only thing that matters at this point is the Japanese properties, and the NA industry should start over somehow with less input from gaijin retards out to get attention and asspats on Twitter and dumb clique-related websites for things they should get no credit for like if someone republished Moby Dick and thought they should be congratulated for getting paid for someone's else's finished brain child.

The huge possible bad side of the corporate take-over of course is huge corporations are soulless and will just chase profit margins and could be influenced by the whims of pseudo-moralists ala what Sony did to Playstation's Japanese games and mass marketed entertainment slop like MCU. Hopefully though, more of these self-important idiots working dubs and subs are put on a leash with NDAs and told to stfu, but I'm probably hoping for too much. I'd rather never hear from these morons at all or even know what their names are much like you don't know who installed the steering wheel on your Honda.

I hope something happens for Vic though because I still feel incredibly bad for him. In the future, someone should try to do some kind of crowd funded cartoon for him or something on a rightwing friendly platform so it can't get canceled by idiots.

No a bunch of other shit did. This was just another turd in the pile.

he was a good actor but acting like he was some messiah that would’ve catapulted funimation further and further is absurd.

At the time all this dumb bullshit started, he had just starred in the literal (at the time) third biggest money making American anime dub in history. It's just a fact he brought in a lot of income. That's why they were making him a director. And making him a director is why Sabat's flying monkes went into action.

Geneon's anime is still streamed on TUBI BTW.
