Tyranogre Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 This whole shitshow has gotten Interspecies Reviewers so much attention that it's currently ranked #4 on MAL. Streissand effect at it's finest. Quote Link to comment
April Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 so like every overrated show of the season? i don't really see how it's a streisand thing. they just didn't want to localize it any more. does that stop the masses from watching every other seasonal thing that doesn't get a dub?

Tyranogre Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Streissand effect is when trying to prevent people from doing something makes them want to do it more. Basically, the show is attracting this much attention because there's such a controversy surrounding it. Quote Link to comment
April Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 sure but dropping it isn't preventing anybody from watching it or trying to. it's just not wanting to dub it. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 It's not just about not wanting to dub it; it's about removing it from their streaming service. Quote Link to comment
April Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 sure but piracy is so utterly trivial nowadays that it's silly to even presume that there's some form of deliberate attempt at hiding going on. all parties involved know damn well how easy it will be to find. Quote Link to comment
blcdude1 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I highly doubt that Interspecies Reviewers would have been generating the same amount of buzz if Funimation was continuing to simulcast and dub it. The mere act of stopping brings a lot of attention to the series. There are going to be people who check out the series to see why falls outside Funimation's standards. If something is controversial, people often seek it out to see what the buzz is all about. Tyranogre 1 Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 See also: Hatred, the Joker movie, GTA: San Andreas, the sex scenes in Mass Effect, or any other sexual/violent video game/TV show/movie that your parents wouldn’t let you watch when you were a kid. Quote Link to comment

And considering some of the shit Funimation happily associates with their brand, this is saying something. After all, we're talking about the company that localized and dubbed Master of Martial Hearts. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Not sure if mobile will let me embed more than one tweet at a time, but if you click this thread, there's an interesting perspective from one of the voice actresses who was working on the show before it was canceled.

April Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) So everybody was acting exactly as foolish as it seemed. wow Finishing up Yorimoi finally. Disgustingly cute and wholesome. Great to see more anime originals that are high quality. It borders on melodrama in a couple places, but the characters are actually self-aware for a god damn change (maybe even a bit unrealistically), so it's not much of a problem. Highly recommended.

blcdude1 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I don't know, at the end of the day, people are still out of a job. While there is no doubt in my mind that those voice actors will be voice acting again soon enough, just as those translators will be translating and editors editing, this still means a lot of people are going without a paycheck, at least temporarily. Which, regardless of what one thinks of the show, sucks. Quote Link to comment
Kezay Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Don't know much about what Interspecies Review is about and from what little I've heard I've got no desire to, but of all things to kickstart discussion in this thread it's a shame that this of all things is what is doing it. -_- Quote Link to comment
blcdude1 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I could attempt to stimulate discussion on another matter, but it wouldn't be about anything current. So far this year, I've watched Di Gi Charat, Yozakura Quartet and Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat. I'm about 13 episodes into Code Geass, which I'm enjoying so far. The last anime I watched last year was Madlax. I had seen the other 2/3 of Bee Train's girls-with-guns trilogy, Noir and El Cazador de Le Bruja, about 15 and 10 years ago, respectively. For whatever reason, I had not watched Madlax. I have since remedied that problem, and enjoyed the show, but damn, you know a show is old when the first episode involves a floppy disk. Noir and Madlax were both localized by ADV. ADV created a parody "Sock Puppet Theater" episode for both shows, which could be accessed as an Easter Egg on their initial DVD releases. It's brilliantly stupid. El Cazador, which was localized by Funimation, does not feature any sock puppets, but it has a song about tacos. Quote Link to comment
