Linkblogging

Interesting article on the business side of the U.S. anime market, from Fortune magazine.

[livejournal.com profile] sartorias and her commentors are pondering the age-old question of gender relations, mosre specifically, who does and who does not subscribe to the old adage that men and women cannot be platonic friends (partly generational, partly cultural).

And combining elements of the two links above, we have [livejournal.com profile] louiselux bending her mind and her poll-making skills to the eternally important question of "Is Sanzo a virgin?" Go vote! The fate of the free world is at stake! (a small followup post, in which we learn a disturbing fact about Hakkai).

Yeah, I agree. I buy my absolute favorite series when I can afford them, but I still grumble about the $10-per-episode thing. What pisses me off is that it's not as if they can't fit 2-3 times that amount of episodes onto a dual-layer dvd, but that they just don't. Every anime disc I've ripped has only used about 55% of their allotted 9gb, leading me to believe it's a marketing decision rather than a technical limitation.
