zannen.ca sucks

I'm a little annoyed today. Lately I've been reading a certain anime commentary site based in Canada. (http://zannen.ca/) For someone with such strong opinions about the state of the anime industry in Canada I'm a little surprised the guys who run this site have no interest in the feedback of the readers.

I want to comment on their blasting of YTV over the perceived problems about the airing of certain anime on YTV.

Give YTV a break guys. So they shrink or talk over the end credits of some of the shows. So they forget to subtitle japanese text at times. So they play some of the heavily edited Fox stuff. Bitch, bitch, bitch.

They played Witch Hunter Robin with few if any edits. They played .hack with few if any edits. They play Inu Yasha with few edits. They play Gundam Seed with few edits. What the hell do you guys REALLY want? A 24h non-edited anime channel. Ask for them to play it in japanese while you're at it.

A few edits aren't the end of the world. If you add up all the time you spent blinking during a given episode you miss more then than the edits consist of. If you don't like it, buy the DVDs.

You guys want FRUITS BASKET aired? Are you kidding? Not in a million years. Don't get me wrong, I really liked Fruits Basket. Bought the DVDs and the soundtrack but c'mon. It's never gonna air until a few, less "niche" shows make it to air.

I also can't believe the complaining about the HUGE edits to One Piece, Yu Gi Oh!, etc... Take it from someone who's seen 300+ complete anime series. Dozens of anime movies and OVAs. These shows aren't in the same league as Fruits Basket. These 300+ episode monsters are the worst in anime. Churning out episode after episode, week after week. Crappy storylines, crappy production quality, crappy characters. Even Inu Yasha gets close to this catagory. Don't worry, there'll be so many episodes you won't be able to remember any edits a month later.

What I'm getting at is there are MUCH better shows out there that deserve your time to shill if you MUST see them on TV. Trigun, Kenshin, Orphen, Brigadoon, R.O.D. The TV, Last Exile, RahXephon, Evangelion and of course Cowboy Bebop to name a few. Hell, YTV announces G.I.T.S.:S.A.C. will air and all I see are complaints for a show THAT HASN'T EVEN AIRED!!! FUCK!

If you're hoping YTV is going to listen to your suggestions you aren't going about it the right way.
