See that is all I needed to know; it is likely that because ADV did a dumb thing with To Love Ru, the japanese have reacted with their typical reaction to these things. For an example of this see the time when the French Branch of Viz thought themselves cleaver of streaming Persona 4 Ep 2 early - Namely they went bonkers and punished everyone, even the innocent and, more than likely, pushed the fans onto the fansubs again.Rui said:
I Know Andrew can not say these things lest he upsets the perpetrators (and the Japanese) but still a little context what's stops me from throwing the table.
Ok, my comments after the link, I'll give you. But the link itself I have to say is about right; AoD has (99% of the time not by their own hand, 1% where they didn't help themselves) has suffered various problems in streaming shows and after a point this starts to get just a bit exasperating.ayase said:
I'd love nothing more than AoD to become what every other TV'esc service in the UK has failed to be and each time something like this happens, that gets further and further from being the case and it often closes avenues like Neon Ally and UK TV airtime leading to an emaciated presence of the industry and a lowered possibility for new fans and thus new financial gains.
My "They (and/or Japan)" comment, I'll admit was a bit off base (It was the Americans this time, by all accounts) but I did not levy that as an attack at Andrew personally (and I still stick by my Only Sane Man in the Industry™ nomenclature for him, I know it's probably not true but he's the only one who shows up and has ties to a company that doesn't do frustrating things 99% of the time) but the bizarre cthulian creature is the industry that purports itself as the means to get episodes of DBZ from Japan and into my television whilst allowing me to pay the appropriate parties the correct money due of them.
Time for AoD to swoop in and save the day?
