Anime Sols New Anime Streaming Service Announce With Tekkaman, Creamy Mami, & Yatterman

Alot of idiots, oh I'm sorry "fans" would rather watch crap like K-on! or Icky Tousen rather than pieces of exquisite literature like Galaxy Express 999 or Rose of Versailles.

Yatterman (2008)

crappy remakes suck

Hoppy said:


I wonder why they couldn't get the original Yatterman for consistency since the rest are classics.

@Gahara_18 Well unfortunately, alot of people don't have standards.

Indeed. More people need to watch exquisite masterpieces such as Creamy Mami...

Businesses generally require revenue to operate.

Kvakond did not (directly anyway) comment on the enjoyability of the shows. Rather it looks to me like a snarky comment on the viability, or potential lack thereof, of this business model.

I suppose it all comes down to their costs. They won't sell a lot, but maybe they don't need to sell a lot if they're doing this cheaply enough.

jmal said:

Why do you think so? The following very basic costs, at a minimum, need to be recouped first:
- Developing a streaming platform (or purchasing/licensing/re-purposing an existing platform)
- Hosting/bandwidth costs
- Translation, editing, subtitling
- Marketing, however minimal
- Employee salaries

Certainly this is nowhere near as expensive as creating brand new anime, and since the Japanese are doing it directly, there aren't the usual licensing costs. But it's not free money.

I love how by your standards "if it's old it's SUPERIOR AND EXQUISITE LITERATURE!". Which, in itself, is hilarious enough that you believe these cartoons are "exquisite literature" but that's aside the point.

I wonder why 70s and 80s anime are rated so low in this site.

kuchitsu said:

Well, to be frank a lot of those old animes has very lame screenplaywriting by today's standards. I remember how I tried to watch the classic sports drama "Ace wo Nerae" and I couldn't keep a straight face because of all the hilariously OVERDRAMATIC scenes. You need to be quite open minded to be able to look past this cheesiness and appreciate the old series for their good qualities.

Fortunatly, a lot of pretentious morons, I'm sorry I mean "Objective viewers with godly critical thinking skills." are around to balance it all. I'll dare people have different tastes.

Seriously though, I don't care if you like older or newer stuff, both have merits in my opinion, but don't call people idiots because they don't like the same stuff you do.

i happen to like modern anime to but just not the Moe Crap

Valkyrie_Wings said:


Ok. But just because you consider yourself a historian of the medium doesn't mean that everyone else's opinions and observations are invalid.

They are just angry because K-on made so much money and is still making money. No need to get defensive against their pretentiousness, they are unhappy and we are having a fuwa fuwa time.

Here's a though: How bout many casual viewers out there aren't otakus or don't normally bother looking for old school animes. They're satisfied with the loads anime that's currently airing and don't want to bother taking the time so search for old animes that may or may not appeal to them.

A lot of casual viewers don't even know about animes that have aired more than 10 years ago. I my self only find out about older shows from recommendations and people mentioning them on forums.

Well said! But enough of this pointless arguments, because people around this site don't like it when someone's criticizing a genre/tendency because it automatically makes of him/her an elitist fucker. But seriously, the people who think that everything in this world is subjective are either 12 or simply delusional.

and i just notice this Quarkpro LLC and its a company by QuarkBoy a known translator that is also active on some anime forum sites like AnimeSuki

Quarkboy said:
But we feel like there are enough fans of classic anime to support DVD releases if we give people the opportunity.

Quarkboy said:

We know these shows are niche and old anime only appeals to a certain crowd, and also that limiting the site to the US limits the audience.

cat_clan said:

You guys should really, really think about expanding it more than just US. At least US & Canada. Take a look at Masaaki Yuasa's Kickstarter to get a feel of how many non-US supporters it had.

At least I could be interested in this project, but I live in Mexico.

It pretty much failed. Mami got the most money, but it's only at 33%, and it has about a month left. It need to get 12000$ in a month. Not going to happen.
