New Slayers TV show
Dakkar:
I sense Zero :D
And yes, it was Japanese producers who have lent their rights to enforce copyrights policy to funimation...
/hate J.C.Staff :D
nstgc:
I can't hate J.C. Staff. I can hate the person who suggested this. Probably one of the marketing dick heads.
Zalis116:
Yeah, it sucks for us as watchers of the show, but I can't blame JC Staff for wanting to enforce their copyright on their intellectual property, which is valid virtually everywhere regardless of licensing in any particular area. Funimation's just the messenger here, so as the saying goes, "don't shoot the messenger."
Dakkar:
Well, this particular event is just one of the reasons to hate J.C.Staff. No matter what source they take, in the end you get at best an average show filled with elements serving no other purpose than satisfying primitive savors of as wide audience as possible. The Slayers were saved by the fact that the light novels author himself was participating and overseeing the creation process, so it's one of a few exceptions.
Naturally, once they've got a chance to finally release something AAA-grade, they're really chickened out by loosing any money they can milk off this series. As if they can lock down the net...
AnimeJanai:
FUNimation also used their power of attorney powers to stop fans doing Monochrome Factor, Nabari no Ou, and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. Those titles were not licensed at the time FUNimation commanded the fans to stop.
