In some real big news, HIDIVE will be adding an officially subbed release of Ippatsuman to their streaming service this June 23rd! The amount of subbed Time Bokan is still low, and while Ippatsuman was being fansubbed it never hurts to have more options...

I find it so disheartening that animelab is now just a footnote on the Crunchyroll store wiki. ONE MILLION USERS. At the time Australia had 25.2 million people and New Zealand had 4.89 million. So out of the combined estimated population of 30.09, roughly 1 in 30 had animelab. Unless I'm doing the math way off, which some part of me hopes that given how much my internals sank just thinking that.

FUCK FUNIMATION, FUCK CRUNCHYROLL.

Rant bellow the cut.

The two biggest anime exclusive sites I can find are HIDIVE and Retro Crush, both are not available in Australia and New Zealand. Do you understand the problem, because the deeper you go the worst it gets. I am so tired of trying to find places to watch things and them being US exclusive because I'll be honest, we are not seen as profitable so nobody cares.

I used to have Cruncyroll after my animelab tuned into Funimation and then Cruncyroll where I stayed until it cost $149.99 for the year subscription the second year in a row. I know that that won't seem bad to some people but Australia is a place where disposable income isn't in excess. I just couldn't justify it. They would spit in my face the entire time too, ads for the shop constantly. Pop up screen blocking ads for the shop as soon as I opened the app. Worst still, the shop was US only, at the time and largely now too.

FUCK SONY FOR ALL OF THIS, FUCK CAPITALISM, FUCK AMERICAN-CENTRISM

But at the end of the day, fuck us I guess. Fuck us over and over again. Lead our men to die and leave us defenseless. Take our shows and turn them into nothing more than products that we see no profit from. Laugh at our accents unless you find them hot. Make us use your word, watch your shows, and when we aren't making you profit, cut us off.

I don't hate people from or in the US, I hate your government, I hate your companies and those who run them. I hate western ignorance, and if you think that is a part of you, allow me to hand you a scalpel. Cut that shit out. This isn't about you.

Edit, the Australian population link keeps dropping so: https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/lookup/3101.0Media%20Release1Dec%202018

LGBT friendly anime/manga creator master list

Feel free to add examples in the replies if you know of any other Manga/Anime creators who have made comments or done things implying they support the LGBT community and I’ll add them to the OP (note this moreso applies to assumed heterosexual creators or creators who have not stated their personal sexuality rather than out gay creators, basically it’s an Ally list)

Kunihiko ikuhara: vehemently hates straight romance and is pushing for more and gayer romance in manga and anime

hiro mashima: deleted an offensive character in his own manga and replaced him with a more positive gay coded one

Satoru Noda: reads Bara and his manga is incredibly homoerotic

Hirohiko Araki: see Satoru Noda

Yoshihiro Togashi: has made multiple attempts to make a manga with a gay protagonist and has basically called out his publishers as homophobes for not letting hin

Hiroyuki Takei: included a Gay romance arc in his collab manga with Stan lee(that stan lee had himself alan smithee’d off of because he was a homophobe) and has a canon trans man character in Shaman King’s spin offs

Atsushi Ohkubo: became aware that Fire Force had a large gay male fanbase and started adding more fanservice of the male characters specifically for that side fanbase, has also made many comments implying other progressive personal views (and calling out other mangakas for the racist way they depict black characters)

shirahama kamome: her Manga Witch hat Atelier has several openly LGBT characters

katsura hoshino: her mangas have very heavy LGBT subtext/text and I’m told some actual canon LGBT rep Tatsuki Fujimoto: his manga prior to Chainsaw man had a trans masc character
