The May 2013 Line-Up

May 31, 2013

AnimeSols is really the most exciting thing happening in May. But there are plenty of little gems, too.

Another eclectic month in licensing but little new streaming news. It seems that the U.S. companies are getting much better at get titles quickly. That is a good things as the longer titles are in limbo the more likely people are going to just start watching the fansubs.

The Line-Up is a monthly rundown of newly licensed in the U.S., newly streaming in the U.S., and newly announced anime and manga projects.

The Fourth Brethren of the Coast Podcast

May 27, 2013

One of the oldest conflicts in anime fandom is the fact that fansubs helped spread the popularity of anime in the early days of the hobby. And to that point how relevant are fansubs to an industry where 90% of everything is simulcast in English and classic series are being license recused all the time?  Are there still titles that can be ethically fansubbed? Or is watching any show just dirty piracy?

Sean Russell from Anime 3000 gathered together Sean Ryan from Alpha Counter as well as both Reverse Thieves to discuss the remaining times where watching less than official subs may still be a grey area.

The Speakeasy #041: Con Hangover, Survive the Con

May 20, 2013
Drink #041: Con Hangover
Survive the Con

With con season on the brain, we realized we’d never really done a con survival guide for the podcast. And the con survival we’d done for the blog is now years old so we hope we have at least learned a few new things since then. So get hyped for con season as we delve out advice on potential convention options, running panels, avoiding bootlegs in the Dealers Room, and much more. Dave from ANN’s Astro Toy helps out in our Dealers Room segment about bootlegs, too!

6 Lessons from The Rose of Versailles

May 13, 2013

We dreamed the impossible dream: someone licensing  The Rose of Versailles. But against all odds that dream came true. If you remember back in October, we submitted some questions to Riyoko Ikeda when the series was licensed by Nozomi Entertainment and even posted our questions in celebration of the announcement. Now that the first DVD set is out we’ve decided to remind you to picked them up.

The Rose of Versailles is more than just one of the seminal shojo series that has shaped countless titles. It is also a wonderous and unique life manual filled with universal truisms and precautionary tales for any age.

Oh. Watch out. We so have some major spoilers for the series beyond the death of historical characters whose deaths should be shocking to no one.
