I just binged the first 2 seasons and I can’t believe my luck, that season 3 is only a few weeks away. I know that Funimation licensed season 1, and Netflix did season 2. But when I look for whose releasing the episodes for season 3, I can’t find it anywhere. Is it going to be Netflix again? Absolutely love the show by the way, can’t wait for the next season.
Update: Sentai/Hidive have picked up both season 3 and the movie outside of Asia 🙏
We can burn collectibles for many reasons. One reason is burning for a rng drop, sacrificing x amount of common, UC, R, UR for y drop. Etc…
But WHATEVER the reason may be, the burn is an option for users who owns the respectable collectibles.
I was a game designer, and the number one reason for games to fail is the power creep.
Hey social workers! I am super excited to begin a foster care licensing job in a month. I work in a county setting as a child protection case manager currently. I really enjoyed some of my families, but working with mandated clients is tough and I often feel like I am having to track down clients to get their court ordered services done. Dealing with court, angry clients, and the pressure of trying to keep families together is a lot. My work weeks are closer to 50 hours than 40.
I will be staying with the county but beginning as a foster care licensor and can’t seem to find any threads or information online about what the job truly entails. Obviously I learned a bit in the interview, but if anyone is a licensor, how is it really? Especially if you’ve been a case manager before.
While I don’t think any social work job is easy, I’m expecting that the parts I dislike the most about my current job (court, making monthly visits to 25+ families, 5 hours of JUST case noting a week) will not be an issue as a licensor. I’m excited to train foster parents and feel like it will be more fulfilling since they actually WANT to be licensed. What should I realistically expect? Will I still be case noting until 12AM? Thanks for any replies!
So basically my father took a house on heavy rent this year 2nd jan, the agreement was made for 3 years and the deposit was 7L. The licensor/owner last month said he wants to sell his house to someone else and he will pay the heavy deposit amount back. We agreed and he gave us cheque of 7L for date of this month 12th. Now we got to know from neighbours that he gave the same house for heavy deposit to 5 other parties and hes fleed the area. Need serious help. Thank You
Edit: Haven't put the cheque for clearing yet. Its due on 12th
Hey Yall,
Looking to license "Mannish boy" by Muddy Waters:
Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy (Audio) - YouTube
but I am unable to find any website or licensing agency that would allow to do so...
Should I just use it? (commercial for a company so its a bit risky...)
Any information or references would be very helpful :)
I'm curious as to why anime licensors in Los Angeles such as Crunchyroll, Viz Media, and Aniplex of America only primarily use Studiopolis (in Viz and Crunchyroll's case) and especially Bang Zoom! for their licensed anime titles but not so much the other recording studios in the Los Angeles area like New Generation Pictures, the LA Branch of NYAV Post and/or especially the ones that Netflix utilizes for their anime dubs (e.g. SDI Media/Spliced Bread, VSI Los Angeles)?
I'm not an expert and correct me if my summary and information is incorrect, but I have a hunch that the likely reason that the anime licensors in the LA area only use Studiopolis (for Viz Media and Crunchyroll) and Bang Zoom! but not so much the other recording studios (e.g. New Generation Pictures, NYAV Post, SDI Media/Spliced Bread, VSI Los Angeles) is:
- The Cost of the specific recording studio to commission the dub
- Studiopolis and Bang Zoom! are the most well-known recording studios in the LA area when dubbing anime which is why VIZ, Crunchyroll and Aniplex turn to those recording studios (Studiopolis in Viz and Crunchyroll's case) especially Bang Zoom! and not so much NYAV Post and the ones Netflix utilizes (SDI Media, VSI Los Angeles).
I still would like to see some variety for the other anime licensors in Los Angeles (Viz Media, Crunchyroll, Aniplex) to utilize other studios in the LA area for their anime series instead of having EVERY title be outsourced to just Studiopolis and especially Bang Zoom! and say what you will on some of the Netflix anime dubs, but Netflix seems to be the ONLY company I know so far to have their licensed anime titles be dubbed at other studios in the Los Angeles besides only just Bang Zoom! (since 2015) and Studiopolis (since 2018), such as SDI Media/Spliced Bread (since 2014/2015), VSI Los Angeles (since 2018), and more recently NYAV Post (since 2019) as the latter studio up until Netflix started using them for their anime titles, was only utilized as the "go-to-studio" for the licensed films by GKIDS and anything related to the Gundam franchise. Even Viz Media stopped utilizing them with their most recent title outsourced to that studio being Mazinger Z: Infinity in 2019 following the Beserk: Golden Age films, and Zetman.
For the past 2 years or so. Sentai has been getting fewer new anime as the market has been taken over by Funimation, Crunchyroll and Netflix. As the industry starts to evolve, Sentai is just sitting there doing nothing. Last time any big news was about them is when they licensed Redo of Healer and getting home distribution to some Netflix and Amazon animes.
Other then that they kind of became the red headed stepchild of anime licensing. It's sad too like 5-10 years ago they were like the niche alternative to Funimation as they where getting the more smaller and weirder stuff like Mysterious Girlfriend X or School Live while Funimation was getting the tentpole-esque high profile animes like Tokyo Ghoul and Assination Classroom. It's also more despressing espically since Sentai is the successor to anime dubbing pioneers ADV Films and without them Funimation wouldn't become a serious anime distributor and taking some of ADV's talent to work with them.
Which honestly i would'nt be suprised if they're going to the same route that killed ADV.
We started the process to become licensed for ages 0-6 in mid August. Our state has a policy that they complete the process within 120 days. As the deadline gets closer I am getting more and more nervous. We turned in all of the required paperwork for Washington State and have had our home study interviews and house inspections. We were fingerprinted and had background checks. The last thing we were told was the licensor was going to write up their Inspection report and we were supposed to initial and sign it then return it to them, but we havent heard back.
Is it normal to not hear from them for a month at a time? (Normally our emails were answered within a day and now we're going on a month without a response to our questions.)
I keep thinking that something went wrong and we weren't accepted. Is there any way to find out what is going on? We have been looking forward to fostering little ones for some time now. (This is something we have talked about for years) We would be heartbroken to find out we aren't eligible to be licensed for foster care.
I am so worried our adventure has ended before it began.
So, there's this cool looking Sci-Fi anime called Sacks&Guns!! that is planned to premiere around this year. A question I have is...which company do you think could be likely to license this? I see this something FUNimation would certainly pick, but I wouldn't rule out CR or even Netflix to get it.
We're all pretty aware of Netflix, Crunchyroll and FUNimation being the big three when it comes to licensing anime to the west, with their degree of dubbing varying, with others like Aniplex, Discotek and Viz Media being a bit close behind to them, and then there's the whole thing with Sentai's uncertain future who may join the likes of Manga Entertainment and Amazon.
But it makes me wonder, could there be other companies with streaming services and such to give a shot in doing their own take on dubs? HBO Max seems to be one with most potential if given enough time aside from the CR and Ghibli deals. What are the other possibilities though?
The main aspect I believe needs to change is the price of digital volumes.
It give no incentive to the consumer to purchase the same price for digital copy that it would cost for a physical copy. Providers such as bookwalker, viz, crunchyroll, amazon are guilty of this. Now granted Viz has the shonen jump membership which provides over 10,000 chapters of manga for $2 per month so good so I'll cut them some slack.
If you look at the music industry. If you're a dj and you pay for tracks you pay like $1 or $2 for a track and around $6-7 for an digital EP or LP on average. If digital manga volumes were priced $5-8 instead of $15 then more consumers would purchase digital volumes. I know bookwalker sometimes offers discounts would I believe there prices for volumes should decrease a little considering most of the time digital volumes are sold there nearly as much as the physical price.
This could be done the same with anime as well for people that don't want to purchase memberships just paying for an episode (although memberships in my opinion are better).
Overall, if this occurs for digital manga purchases then I believe more consumers and manga readers would buy their manga instead of reading off the pirate sites and it would lead to more money for the artists.
Well, it has finally happened, all 4 seasons are gone from the site......and not just that, but many people are making videos celebrating the taking down on bilibili (which, in addition to having the largest licensed anime collection in the world outside of Japan, is also aiming to become China's YouTube) and other places right now.
The manga was already gone a day or two ago.
I wonder how much of MHA's income comes from China. While its extreme popularity in the West and being probably the Jump's current flagship series in Japan means diverse income sources, I know that it has also a huge following from China who actually would pay for the manga/anime/merchandise, especially hard core female fans of Bakugo et al. Whether this will make a sizable dent on the income remains to be seen...
