Why u no liek strike bitches?

>R1 faggotry
nobody cares amerifags

>Funimation
>Strike Witches
Enjoy Tiffany Grant voicing every German or Eastern European character.

There's much worse in many other shows and manga released domestically. This will have no impact whatsoever.

why? Strike Witches is a decent show and there are many more stupid lame ecchi shows in america like steel angel kurumi and shit.

>lolicon science fiction series

Oh, ANN. You card.

For some reason, I only caught pieces of the text in this post. And somehow, I came up with "Barrel of Strike Witches"

http://funimation.com/strikewitches/

In case anyone missed this a few DAYS AGO

>Barrel of Strike Witches
I'd watch it.

what does this mean technically? did Funimation get the rights to release Strike Witches stateside or are they selling the rights to someone else?

I fucking hates the american industry but goddamn I love me some strike witches. I'm going to have to try pretty damn hard to not buy the DVDs...even though I havn't paid for anime shit since I was a moron in highschool who thought owning dvds was cool.

AW WHO AM I KIDDING FUCK FUNI

>>20350577
I hear Tiffany Grant LOOOVES sushi.

>>20350589
OH FUCK I LOVED THAT SHIT

>>20350654
Okay...

Funimation's site says the DVDs wont be out until 2010. By then STRIKE WITCHES SEASON 2 WILL HAVE ALREADY FINISHED.

THIS IS WHY YOUR INDUSTRY IS DYING YOU FUCKS

theres no way I'm buying the DVDs but I sure as hell am looking forward to a wallscroll or 2

No

the only science fiction in Strike Witches was how they could fit 40 minutes of fanservice in a 20-minute show

>>lolicon science fiction series

you gotta be shitting me. ANN is only pissing off the fans who would actually buy the series dubbed by categorizing it with such slander.

>>20350864

You're right. I'm sure he meant "great" instead.

Lolicon thread

strike witches is about TITTIES.

I'M BUYING THIS FUCKERS

SCREW DEEP ANIME

I WANT MY LOLI PANTSU

I hope they pack in a pair of panties in each volume.

>>20350960

that's like saying Baccano! was about cell phones

It's about as science fiction as any Gundam or sci-fi anime that's ever been made. Look at all the 80's shit that's classified as science fiction.

The girls better have authentic accents in the dub.

>>20351013
They might, we got GRATUITOUS AMOUNTS OF BROOKLYN for Baccano! so why not?

>>20350532

SUPPORT THIS YOU ASSHOLES

YOU WANT MORE LOLI PANTSU, DON'T YOU?

OR WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE FAGGY MANLY ANIME WHERE BUFF MEN RUB THEIR DICKS TOGETHER INSTEAD OF A CUTE YOUNG GIRL TAKING BATHS AND WE SEE HER LITTLE LOLI BOTTOM!!!????

I can see the massmedial shitstorm before my eyes.

>>20351013

This would be kind of nice but kind of weird at the same time

what? the girls in strike witches have realistically proportioned breast size? must be lolicon shit. everyone knows that DD is normal.

>>20351062
what is that?

Sup, Mio.

They're going to add skirts and/or pants

YOU WANT MORE LOLI PANTSU, DON'T YOU?
No I want manly anime you retard

An American release means more girls will be cosplaying Strike Witches at cons instead of Final Fantasy and FMA bullshit right guys?

...

guys?

;_;

>>20351120
They won't. Only things that air on TV get censored and most of that is because when some shows get licensed in the contract it says that they have to do what ever is humanly possible to get the show on TV. So Japan is partially directly responsible for DBZ having rock.

>>20351167
I don't think girls will be the ones doing the cosplaying.

>>20351013

That would actually be pretty cool, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this get a sub-only release, since it's such a niche title.

>>20351013

I think all the girls should be dubbed by people from their native countries...

SPEAKING IN THE LANGUAGE OF SAID COUNTRY

Mindfuck!

>>20351224

Man-Miyafuji?

>>20351167

There are no bishounen so no girls will watch this.

>Strike witches

I'm going to buy this so hard.

>>20351264
It will get a dub, solely because Funimation is releasing it and Funimation dubs EVERYTHING, if only to keep Vic busy they dub everything.

I want my free Luchini's striped panties in my boxset.

>>20351271
Black Lagoon's dub kinda did that for the last arc of the second barrage so I guess it could work, although in Black Lagoon they switched off from Japanese to English and visa versa quite often.

>According to Funimation, they will now properly censor nudities in order to market them to general audience. Also, lesbian undertones have been de-emphasized so as to not offend the would be christian majority market.

>>20351328

FUCKYES

>>20351271

How would the characters understand each other, then?

Enjoy supporting an industry that shits on it's consumers by making crappy dubs 3 years after a show aired in Japan.

>>20351386

Don't even joke like that

>>20351386
0/10.

>>20351386
I must say, if they pull a Casey and Friends with Strike Witches it would be pretty funny.

NEXT ON 4Kids

>>20351386
10/10

>>20351391
How the fuck would they understand each other in the original version? Really, man, it never made sense to begin with.

>>20351469

>on it's consumers

>3 years

summer 2008 - winter 2010 = less than two years

>>20351524
But Casey and Friends was better than what we actually got with Dub Higurashi...ugh.

>>20351469
>Enjoy supporting an industry that shits on it's consumers

Fuck! The American Anime industry is its own consumers? Well shit son, that means that it will never die ever and is self sustaining.

>>20351484
Is dat sum philosopher's stone?

C'mon, if this sells well MAYBE they'll finally be a market for lolicon anime and we'll get R1 release fro Kodomo no Jikan and MOETAN!!

>>20351710
see
>>20351084

>>20351710

no just no

>>20350878
well played

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU FUNAIMTION!!! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DIE NOW!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST DIE!!!!!!

gb2 prison, jake

I was really hoping Bandai would pick up Strike Witches, in hopes they would release an awesome special edition set.

The best we'll get from Funimation is an "art box."

>>20350949
OPPAI HUNTER MIYAFUJI

I just hope they don't edit Strike Witches too much.

>that's it, the North American anime market is officially dead
Why?

I wonder how the general public will react to this show.

>>20352660
same way they react to the dozens of other fanservice anime available in america

>>20352660
See how gaiafags/annfags/shonenfags reacted to this.

Wanna rage?

>Or it was a bundle package. Neither of these shows were particularly well received in america as far as I can tell, or maybe it was a condition in the contract.

Bitches don't know about /a/?

>>20352660
They won't care because no one really follows anime except for the people who are actually in it

>>20351167

>Americans cosplaying Strike Witches.

I was thinking about going to a convention in the south next year. I guess I'll pass now...

>>20352724
ANN forums make me proud of /a/. I love you /a/. I really do.

>>20352739
shit.

>>20352776
Why? Are you a narutard?

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!

>>20350920
Funimation has already done that.

>>20352795
>ANN forums make me proud of /a/. I love you /a/. I really do.

This is true. Sometimes I visit ANN just to rage and remember why I love /a/ so much.
No wonder ANN has a shitty fanbase, with people with nicknames like "Mr Shonen".

>>20350532
I cried man, i ACTUALLY cried when i read this. God damnit funimation can you leave any good anime alone without having to shit it up with a fucking shitty dub? GOD! I was hoping and praying that Funimation would NOT get this I really was. Funiamtion why much you POISION the American anime industry with your Shit tacktics?

Maybe Funimation is aware of the "otaku following" of Strike Witches and will only release subs without doing any cuts?

I mean, they probale are smart enough to know this show is not aimed to the general public, and that the fanbase is not the same of Naruto or Bleach...

Who would you have preferred to get the rights then, if you are unhappy with Funimation?

Or are you just mad because it got licensed at all?

Needs moar ADV.

>>20353065
Bandai

who cares? I don't buy anime.

>>20353054Funimation: Smart enough, only release subs without doing any cuts, aware of the "otaku following"

Oh God Damn I can't point out all the fail you just posted! There is not facepalm.jpg Macro enough to post.

>>20353065
I would have prefered Media Blasters, thet do get the more risque animes and they DO release them in Sub only form.

please don't make a dub, please don't make a dub, please don't make a dub...

>>20353192
They are in the anime business. They must have at least the basic knowledge that Strike Witches is popular with hueg otaku, instead of Narutards.
Heck, everyone knows about that.

>>20353221
true MB does do a better job

>>20353227

You know, no one forces you to listen to dubs. Goddammit, you'd think dual language options weren't standard on anime DVDs (which you fucks proudly don't buy anyhow).

It would be wise of Funi to move away from dubs to save on costs for niche series, as Nozomi & MediaBlasters have, but they've always indicated they're unlikely to do that.

The dub takes up encoding space, and you just know they're going to release it on 2 DVDs with 6 episodes each for the box set.

Oh well, not much you can do.

If they released them right now while the first season is still hot, using Gonzo's subs, I think it would sell VERY well, just considering /a/nons, that would be probably buying DVD for the first (and maybe last) time in their lives.

That would be the smartest movie.

>>20353359
If they release it the same time as season 2 there will be plenty of buzz anyway, that's probably the plan.

>>20351524
Let's think it up, then.

>>20353359

If they used the online subs, they'd have to pay the other translators for the rights to use those translations.

i knew this was coming. they're trying too hard to save gonzo.

>>20353528
True, but the alternative is to pay someone to translate it all over again. They pay for everything, it's just a question of which is cheaper.

>>20351524

Kerry and her friends are visiting England to go swimming but the evil airplane company New Roy is trying to stop them.

>>20353303
Just the fact that there is such a track on the DVD makes me not want to buy it, since that would mean I had actually paid for and thus supported the making of such an abomination.

>>20353691

I would need to know it was not censored or cut before I would buy.

>>20352724
Oh my god, so much fucking butt-hurt

>>20352724
OP here, I wrote that.

sure is buyfag in here.

>>20353816
Why do you hate Strike Witches that much? Sure, it's not a shonen action series like Naruto, but well, the cool thing about anime is that there are many different genres. Why so much hate for a series?

>>20353776
They haven't done that for years. Censoring only happens when they plan to show it on TV (just like in Japan).

>>20353903
Only for Strike Witches. This is the only series I'm gonna buy teh DVDs when they are released.

>>20353921
I'm sure you'll understand if I do not take your word for it.

>>20353907
I think it's just the whole fact that they took WW2 and put pantless girl in it, and it's suppose to be serious.

>>20353907

I don't hate it at all.

>>20354012
No anime is supposed to be serious stuff.

>>20354021
Strike Witches is not a pedo anime.
I'm a huge guy and I take roids. And most of the characters are about as much of a loli as I am.

>>20354139
> I'm a 12yo girl, wear no pants and have cat ears. And most of the characters are about as much of a loli as I am.

Fixed.

>>20354139
I do not think any good can come from this discussion. The people who willfully misunderstand Strike Witches probably have no interest in the show to begin with.

>>20354230

Most viewers of Strike witches understand it very well, believe me.

i think it's much funnier that they would bother wiith linebarrels of iron

Hey guys, not to be a prick or anything... but really, you should shut the fuck up and stop RAGING.

Jesus Christ. It's not like them dubbing it will have any effect on anything.

>>20354306

Only on the buyfags who pay for it.

>>20354306
Well, what if they butcher the anime?

>>20354379

You already fucking watched the subs!

>>20354379
Then we won't buy it, most likely
