Heard of it with the Japanese title (武士の一分 Bushi no Ichibun) but not the English one. Anime catgrin + sweatdrop

At least put in the option of seen it and will buy it for those who haven't watched it as their own, please. Then I will participate in the survey.

I've recently heard of it due to the banner at the top, but usually "foreign" (well it is foreign to me) live action TV, and films dubbed into English just doesn't work for me, and subtitles are out of the question with my eyesight. Sorry, I pass.

Ah, right, the banner ad, that's where I heard of it, couldn't remember until you mentioned it. Not really my thing, don't plan on buying it.

That falls under "plan to buy it"

FUNimation should emphasize the director's other work, Twilight Samurai, which got nominated for an Oscar, and which is also on R1 DVD. They mention the Japanese Oscars on the front, but no one in the states cares about those.

The feeling's mutual I'm sure. Wink

Is this just a roundabout way of finding out whether anyone reads the banner ads or not?

close. It's a partial attempt to see how effective the banner ads are with a completely non-endemic, and not very well known media property.

This actually isn't the right way to do the survey. The proper way would have been to target both surveys to randomly selected readers, and to make sure that the readers targeted second time around did not see the survey the first time.

The survey software doesn't do that though Sad ... yet.

The previous survey got me to look up the movie. I forgot what it's about, the only thing that stuck is that I'm not interested at all.

Well, by blind chance, I didn't see the first survey. So I fit in the "right way to do it." Smile

Are you catchin' stats on subscribers? I can imagine that a lot of them have banners turned off anyway, so this could affect results (or maybe subscribers don't represent a large enough portion of site visitors for the difference to matter all that much).

how do you watch anime if you don't like dubs and can't read subs?

also, i've bought and seen this via a HK DVD many months ago. it's a shame so few fans of anime or manga don't follow the live action stuff. despite how distant the tastes in the fields are in the west, they're very interlinked fields of interest in japan; and my past experience is that anime fans can come to a point where they don't know where to progress to, but because these interests don't collide too well they're lost on the idea of heading towards stuff which could be more connected if appreciated alongside related material.

Good point. I have all ads turned off, but I clicked "Thinking about renting" because I saw the preview on a DVD, not because of the banner ad.

There is a big difference between an animation dub and a live-action dub. Lip movement in animation is rarely a precise thing and, I've noticed, many Japanese dubs don't really sync up with how the lips move. However, with live-action, the lip movements are quite precise because it is a real person speaking. Any variance from those lip movements are going to be immediately noticeable.
