00:34:32 [nathanbp]well, Ilya is certainly animated well enough again to be 750 MB...
00:34:52 [Cassian]That's good at least <_<;
00:35:24 [nathanbp]they must have made a mint on those blurays....
00:35:44 [Cassian]Seems like it
00:38:38 [Cassian]The Oricon numbers don't seem that great but maybe the manga and international sales were really good
00:40:33 [nathanbp]I guess...
01:15:43 [Cassian]Nothing from Funi about Barakamon today
01:32:20 [nathanbp]so they failed to follow through on their announcement of an announcement?
01:32:38 [Cassian]Yeah
01:32:46 [Cassian]I can't say I'm surprised
01:32:54 [nathanbp]me neither....
01:33:07 [nathanbp]3 eps of SAO II, still no Kirito in GGO...
01:33:13 [Cassian]Damn.....
01:34:32 [nathanbp]still seems more or less on track...I just forgot how much introductory stuff there was
01:34:57 [Cassian]There is a lot for just the first three episodes
01:38:14 [nathanbp]* nathanbp reads Reki's tweets from ep 3
01:40:49 [nathanbp]lol, he compares to Accel World and then backtracks with "I'm not saying that SAO is on the same timeline or anything of that sort, though."
01:41:03 [Cassian]Lol
01:50:07 [nathanbp]so on this forum I'm on people are talking about how amazing Aldnoah ep 3 was
01:50:12 [nathanbp]I don't think I believe them...
01:50:45 [Cassian]I've seen people praising this episode too
01:51:11 [Cassian]I have no idea why when it just sounds like generic robot stuff Japan has been doing forever
01:53:30 [Cassian]I think people are just trying hard to sell it because Urobuchi is writing it really >_>
02:00:58 [nathanbp]yeah, I really have no idea either...
02:03:06 [Cassian]I guess the "YEAH, TEENAGE HEROES ARE AWESOME. THEY CAN EVEN RUN GOVERNMENTS" is still kind of popular because of Valvrave and Code Geass
02:04:17 [nathanbp]lol
02:04:28 [nathanbp]don't forget...uhhh...what was that show?
02:04:33 [Cassian]Uhhh
02:04:41 [Cassian]Was it a robot show
02:05:48 [nathanbp]I think the bad guys had robots?
02:06:04 [nathanbp]main character could pull tools out of other people
02:06:11 [Cassian]Guilty Crown
02:06:21 [nathanbp]yeah that
02:06:40 [Cassian]All three of these are written by the same screenwriter, shocker
02:06:50 [nathanbp]lol
02:07:12 [nathanbp]Guilty Crown was pretty bad >_<
02:07:17 [Cassian]I didn't bother trying it. I learned after Code Geass
02:07:41 [nathanbp]probably a good move
02:08:34 [Cassian]I did hear there was a point the main dude was pulling refridgators out of people?
02:09:24 [nathanbp]Yeah, I think someone's secret heart or whatever was a refrigerator
02:20:00 [nathanbp]really Yen Press? NisiOisin is best known in the English speaking world for his Death Note light novel!? (re: notes in My Girlfriend's a Geek volume 2)
02:20:24 [Cassian]LOL
02:20:44 [Cassian]That's really weird considering one of his other novels came out here
03:15:10 [nathanbp]oh hey Nozaki-kun came out. guess I'll watch it tomorrow though
03:18:19 [nathanbp]Volume 2 was pretty good too
03:29:24 [Cassian]Yay
03:29:35 [Cassian]I should start Spice and Wolf 1 then
03:30:13 [nathanbp]probably
03:30:44 [nathanbp]I have to get back to getting though all my library books now >_>
03:33:32 [Cassian]Lol
03:34:15 [Cassian]Did you see the tweets from Ed about how they couldn't get the rights for extras in The Origin 6
03:34:26 [nathanbp]no, I missed that
03:34:34 [nathanbp]guess that explains why there weren't any extras
03:34:40 [Cassian]Yeah D:
03:34:53 [Cassian]He said the ones for 7-10 are good to go though
03:35:01 [nathanbp]that's good
03:35:57 [nathanbp]did he say what the extra was?
03:39:03 [Cassian]https://twitter.com/Vertical_Ed/status/491326938968240130
03:39:07 [Sacchi]Twitter / Vertical_Ed: @MinovskyArticle Volume 6 has ...
03:40:02 [nathanbp]ah, thanks
03:41:46 [nathanbp]I should really go to sleep, 'night
03:46:53 [Cassian]Good night!
03:46:57 [Cassian]-!- Cassian has left #Cochineal [Quit]
15:37:01 [Cassian]-!- Cassian has joined #Cochineal
15:37:27 [Cassian]Thought you might want to see these horrifying numbers https://twitter.com/Yuyucow/status/491552435409010688
15:37:30 [Sacchi]Twitter / Yuyucow: All Winter season 2014 v1 ...
16:36:19 [nathanbp|surface]wow
16:36:38 [nathanbp|surface]clearly I'm missing out by not watching it...
16:37:08 [Cassian]No, you're really not. It's really boring and even small issues stretch out for the entire season
16:37:40 [nathanbp|surface]yeah I think I watched the first ep of the season and dropped it
16:38:04 [Cassian]I managed to get through three episodes it was very zzzzzzz
16:39:45 [nathanbp|surface]I'm impressed you got that far >_>
16:39:59 [Cassian]I don't know how I did
16:40:39 [Cassian]Funi is finally putting up Barakamon in a few hours
16:40:59 [nathanbp|surface]don't believe it until it's actually up >_>
16:41:08 [Cassian]Same
16:41:59 [Cassian]Nothng about Sengoku Basara yet, but I've heard there have been delays in the Japanese broadcast. Even though I doubt that's the problem
16:42:20 [nathanbp|surface]guess you should hope things are on CR in the future?
16:42:30 [Cassian]Yeah, pretty much
16:42:53 [Cassian]It's too bad SenBa isn't as big as Black Butler so it couldn't have gotten on there instead
16:48:34 [nathanbp|surface]does popularity really have that much to do with CR getting stuff? seems like they just try to get everything they can...
16:49:30 [nathanbp|surface]Also, rightstuf shipped me part of my order without me asking for it, so that's good. I don't mind waiting a week or two for them to group things up as long as I don't have to wait 2 months for everything
17:05:14 [Cassian]Ah, cool
17:06:10 [Cassian]Not really, it all depends on contracts and whose on the production committee. I forget that Black Butler has Aniplex on the committee so they can stream it other places than Funi
17:06:58 [Cassian]But there are two shared deals for them this season. Free 2 and Shounen Hollywood which the first one is really popular
17:12:32 [nathanbp|surface]I'm glad I don't care about who is streaming what >_>;
17:13:25 [Cassian]It wasn't so bad before Funi tried to step up their game, again....
17:15:30 [nathanbp|surface]lol
17:15:52 [nathanbp|surface]maybe they'll give up after failing to stream shows for 3 weeks?
17:15:56 [Cassian]LOL
17:16:36 [Cassian]There was one point in the past where they were streaming Sankrea and they didn't put it up until 7 or 8 weeks after they announced it
17:17:52 [nathanbp|surface]Causing people not to watch Sankarea is probably a positive though? (I watched all of it...)
17:28:18 [Cassian]Why Nathan
17:35:52 [nathanbp|surface]I have no idea...
23:53:50 [Cassian]I started Spice and Wolf, it's pretty good so far
23:55:16 [nathanbp]glad you like it
