I decided to visit this topic to see what kind of weirdness there was there, but it's outrageously normal. What I've read could be out of the FSZ if the topic had a different thread. In fact some of the latest content of the covid thread look more like it should have landed here.

No one was using my non-sequitur thread correctly so I stopped caring
I think some of the good staff went to the spin off company. Gainax went a bit weird with drug deals and shady business practices after a while. No longer do they make an honest living of soft-core hentai.
I used to love Gainax but they haven't produced much in quite a while. All the founders and top artists left.
It was literally a case of gathering talented creatives to make anime but that had personality issues and zero interest in business operations and management. As a result there was no governance or oversight of management and it went wrong multiple times.
The president that took over most recently, turned Gainax into a literal harem and told young teenagers that if they wanted to join the industry they had to sleep in his apartment with him. The previous president blew $1m on nobody knows. Before that's president blew the money on hookers and snow and was arrested for tax evasion.
They didn't have very strict criteria for promoting management. Tomohiro Maki that created the 'women's dormitory' aka apartment harem, had previously been the voice actor recruitment manager. Then he added to the contracts of all female voice actors had to live in his apartment.
The presidents also sold off the rights to all their other works without consulting the founders. That is why they can't make any of the sequels and follow up series they promised. They also said they would destroy the Evangelion production materials unless Anno gave them 1m dollars.

I sort of tried to at first, but maybe tried too hard. Then I stopped caring when everyone else did.
Gainax a shit.

Free speech means talk about something freely.
Aren't you just complaining that our free speech isn't edgy enough for you? IMO, it's good to be able to relax sometimes.

Posted this in the other thread because we were talking about disney, but in the U.S. animation is dead and the corpse is rotting.
If anime peaked in the 90's, american animation peaked in the 60's or early 70's in terms of production quality and style.
If we ignore "production quality," the 80's/90's were pretty cool, too, though. Much better writing for things like the Batman animated series/Animaniacs.
Yes, I am aware that this movie's scratchy feel is because of them cheaping out by using photocopiers to color the original storyboard sketches. It looks great anyway.

That would work for the topic "free speech? say anything. ANYTHING. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!", but not for a topic named "The US is dying, anime is dying, but not this thread" (and I'm skipping the sub title for reasons, but it has some big weigh on this too)

Guess who named this thread? None of us. One of the retarded gay racist mods/admins did it when they merged two threads and made things worse than they already were.

(Note: thread was merged; this was the original post of a new thread. Original title: "The US is dying, but so is Anime")
The racist mods apparently value the color of a thread's skin more than the content of its character. Character, of course, being the 16 pages of content that started on page 1.
So stop bitching about it, racist.
