Answerman - Mmm, Crunchy!

On Crunchyroll last night when thy posted about Chernin group there was a HUGE response (mostly negative from what I read though I didn't go through all 17 pages of the thread).

I have a copy of Paprika that has an R rating on the back, but right next to it is the Canadian PG rating. Someone really dropped the ball there.

I find it kind of amusing how Sentai releases are virtually all rated "14A." I have a strong suspicion that they don't actually submit them to any board, and just keep reusing the same icon on their box art template.

In Asia, the company has a separate division (CA Media) that has invested in Legend Fighting Championship, the Indian branch of TV production powerhouse Endemol, and Indian music and events company Only Much Louder.

but there are lots of other interesting pockets of media from around the world that could find a much wider audience if only there was a place to find them. Japanese dramas are too hard to license, but Chinese dramas seem like an obvious example. But what about Spanish-language telenovelas? Many European and South American countries also make some very good scripted television, all of which has no obvious way to an outside audience. Those could really benefit from having a new "unit" on Crunchyroll.

Huh, how much of Taiwan media expanding outward has to do with trying to reach out to an international audience in general, versus trying to reach out to the international Chinese population (be it expatriates, emigrants, or descendants of)? (cause there's a ton of Chinese people in the world, and I'm saying this as a son of immigrants from Taiwan myself)

...and, how much of it is out of a sense of desperation, as they are severely outgunned, financially and audience base-wise, compared to the mainland?

I honestly don't see how Taiwanese dramas would have much appeal to non-Taiwanese people, especially with the existence of dramas from the mainland. Available budgets are so much lower as well as the talent, because top tier Taiwanese media talent might as well try to cross over to the mainland for the big bucks.

I wish you'd stop bringing in the j/k/t/c dramas in every single thread. I'll give a shit about how horrible Japan is once those countries start making anime. No wait, I won't. I get that it has some relevance at least to this article, but you never hesitate anywhere else.

You're not really open-minded to other culture (other then Japan) are you??
