Answerman - Some People Can't Carry iTunes

The top 2 anime (Girl Und Panzer, and Love Live!) that are selling right now, it's moe. I stopped watching moe since it's getting out of control and finding those usually sell in Japan, yeah that's not a surprise.

With well over 1400 songs of many different genres by over 100 artists and counting. I guess one could say vocaloid music is my heroin like addition to my ears. To anyone who thinks that Hatsune Miku is the only vocaloid singer you couldn't be more wrong. Miku alone now has 8 different voices including one in English. and the others also have different voice tones called "appends" now too.

It doesn't matter which vocaloid it is, it the the tech itself that I don't get on with. I can't stand to listen to even live human voices if too much processing is used, which seems to be becoming the standard in music these days (why everyone wants to sound like a drowning robot I really can't figure). The extreme example is back when we had kids around the house and we had a voice changer megaphone that they loved shouting into and it made me want to stab fountain pens in my ears.

But

In grammar, a conjunction (abbreviated CONJ or CNJ) is a part of speech that connects two words, sentences, phrases or clauses. A discourse connective is a conjunction joining sentences. This definition may overlap with that of other parts of speech, so what constitutes a "conjunction" must be defined for each language. In general, a conjunction is an invariable grammatical particle, and it may or may not stand between the items it conjoins.

The definition may also be extended to idiomatic phrases that behave as a unit with the same function, for example as well as, provided that.

Many students are taught that certain conjunctions (such as "and", "but", "because", and "so") should not begin sentences. But authorities such as the Chicago Manual of Style state that this teaching has "no historical or grammatical foundation.

I would have thought that Horriblesubs would have been shut down by now, but it seems that they're being left alone because they discourage fansubbers. If older fansubbers quit and newer fans don't get into it, it's likely to just fade away. And it seems it may be harder to find translators. A good translator can get paid work so they don't need to do it for free.

Okay, I get it now. mdo7's position on the decline of the anime industry has nothing to do with sales or amount of series produced, both of which appear robust right now, it's just it's not the anime he likes that are coming out constantly. I think that also rings false because there's been a ton of that content as well. What do you want, another Cowboy Bebop every season? That's not only being unreasonable, that's being ridiculous, as if that sort of thing actually occurred in the 90s. That also ignores other successes like Fate/Zero, Yamato 2199, Gundam Unicorn, Break Blade, Shingeki no Kyojin, and Psycho-Pass, as well as shows the women enjoy like UtaPri, Free!, KuroBas, and Magi. Pointing out the biggest sellers is entertaining, but a show is still going to get into the black if it comes out in the 4-5k range, which a lot of them do. Maybe when everything goes the way of C3-bu and Aku no Hana, then you can panic.

But if the world ever needs heroes again, they'll answer that call I like to think of it as some kind of Cold War.

Horriblesubs are basically just light crunchyroll/funimation edits. seems extremely pointless

If Crunchyroll went away fansubbers would return just fine.

I don't think I've ever had issues with Crunchyroll's player lagging or buffering excessively. I've used it for streaming to my PC, iPad, and Android phone. Looked and performs great on everything.

I did drop my Funi subscription a few years ago because I was irritated with their player, but I haven't gone back to check it out since then.
