Looks like the Conanfags keep on winning.

I don't think you should be using conanfags when you're a fan.
Ayden Ramirez
Lurk the fuck more.
Tyler Rivera
No, "the conanfags" as if you're from an outside perspective when you're clearly not and it's just shitty OP formatting.
Samuel Russell
So what other suggestions do they have to name their fans?
Christopher Cooper
This technically counts as a win?

But I guess this solves the mystery of how TMS plans to release old Conan, through streaming. There was the problem that if they did home releases (sub only or dub) they'd have to start from the beginning since they've rebooted the franchise and the original 5 seasons are not in print anymore, and they can't just start releasing from Season 6 without putting those first ones on the market again, and if they did, they'd just retool the old english version to fit their new releases.
I remember the VRV site had the first 123 episodes subbed until sometime last year despite the fact Crunchyroll lost them way before then. They were perfectly viewable until they were removed sometime towards the end of the year. I have no idea why unless someone just forgot they were on there or VRV got a license that ran a different time length than Crunchyroll's actual site and it expired later.

I thought Crunchyroll never goes backwards from where they picked up a series?

They had the first 123 episodes before Funimation lost the license, so this is technically just them regetting what they had at the start, and it was probably less them reaching out to TMS to expand the Conan on their website and TMS making a push first. The fact TMS went to Discotek and not the other way around to release the new movies shows that it's not the American side taking the initiative. I don't think Crunchyroll has ever really put Conan on the same level as any of its other IPs, it manages to get by but I have no idea how many viewers it gets.
If they start releasing episodes after 123 but before 754 then it shows they are actually getting older episodes they never had before and that's what I'll be keeping an eye on. Even just going back to what they had before could be TMS just getting things together to put out new material of the main series. America has literally never had over half the series even subbed on streaming officially.
Also I think this is the first time I've seen an Americanized version of this poster. I know it's the default on some unofficial anime streaming sites but I remember it being plain or having the Japanese logo.
Angel Long
No, you really need to lurk more.

>just 42 episodes
With how slow this series is I'm pretty sure nothing even happens in the first 42.
Nicholas Rodriguez
I mean people can get an actual introduction to the series now instead of jumping in over 700 episodes late with characters and situations with no proper setup to the viewer. Conan is one of the last shows that they should have hosted only the later hundreds of. I know people love to meme that the series never progresses and nothing matters but the sheer amount of characters and gradual storylines in the series is completely impossible to get invested in and understand if you come in that late.
I'm surprised people need to be told that.
Blake Sanders
Is 42 episodes the most they can add to the server at a time or something? That's not an even season. It's season 1 and some of 2.
Joshua Barnes
>cr
embarrassing
Evan Bell
I don't know, maybe it's just how many TMS wants to license out at a time. It doesn't really matter if it fits perfect to a season if they keep adding more later. It probably has something to do with money. At least people will see what Detective Conan used to be like instead of the travesty in art direction it became. Plus all the tame murders now really undermine the murder mystery appeal. Modern Conan just feels like "who knocked this guy out and dropped ink on his head?"
It could lead to non-CR releases depending what the intention is.
Gabriel Powell
it's dead in 2010 when funimation made a lawsuit, just let this thread die
Nathan Watson
If the thread bothers you so much (even ignoring the shit OP) then just don't enter it. It's not like people are going to flock to the thread anyway. One of the most obvious things about DC threads is that only a handful of people ever show up at best most of them not the kind that actually talk in the thread beyond two posts. It's all so exhausting.
Aaron Carter
I really don't want Conan to become more and more popular in the US. US anime fandom is fucking cancer.
>OHMIGOD, THIS ONE FAN ARTIST WHO'S BEEN A FAN OF CONAN LONGER THAN I AM SEXUALIZES RAN! SHE'S UNDERAGE, YOU KNOW! CANCEL HIM!!!
Hunter Davis
Looks like Mike Toole was right. It *is* TMS who wants this to be popular in the west again.
Blake Jones
I just don't want them making Conan threads here even harder. A lot of Zig Forums is just underage retards that follow the mainstream in the US.
Jack Hill
>wrong aspect ratio
>streched subs
pass
Noah King
That makes me wonder what else they could be doing, for physical releases it's only possible for Zero and Crimson Love Letter to fit in. Maybe they plan for another batch to be on crunchyroll before the end of the year. They're doing a hell of a lot out of nowhere after dead silence for 10 years. I'm really proud of them for trying so hard. Every other company gave up and it's weird to see the actual production studio be the ones putting things out internationally by pretty much just asking American companies to please have the content. I just hope a certain thing doesn't happen.
>2018 comments on episode one back when it had dub audio (judging from people talking about names changed)
I guess they really did just make these public again or something. Descriptions also use the old american names although the video subs don't, and the newer episodes subbed don't even in their descriptions.
Camden Brooks
You can probably thank Zero The Enforcer for doing so well that TMS decided to do more with Conan.
Tyler Reed
It literally will not stop showing ads. It's been 3 fucking minutes looping like 4 ads after showing me 3 seconds of Conan.
Dylan Lewis
Too bad you fags can't access anime-on-demand.de
Tyler Hall
False success that somehow continued to lead to false success.
>"wow we sold out! a smashing victory!" in regards to an anime convention screening where the tickets were free and the movie was in 4DX
>episode one and crimson love letter free ticket con screenings apparently have lots of empty seats because people didnt know where to go including guest stars = no one says a word
>actually no one ever said a damn thing about all three of these despite the cons being huge on social media platforms
>both bluray releases get top seller rankings on a website that's known to be smaller than the average online distributor
I highly doubt some of the shit that gets top seller rankings on rightstuf is actually doing exceedingly well because some of it is hidden seasonal anime no one noticed. It feels like everything is awkwardly working out just right at face value.
Yea yea we know how great Germany is.
Luis Richardson
is it really?
not like most releases of early conan are that great though quality wise
James Hall
THE CARTOON NETWORK SHOULD GET RID OF CASE CLOSED, REPLACE IT WITH ONE OF THE SHOWS I MENTIONED, OR BRING BACK COWBOY BEBOP AND HIS NERVE-CALMING JAZZ MUSIC
Tyler Reed
Lmao that's already like 35% of the entire original American release holy shit. Also
>episodes still start out with Feel Your Heart blatantly audible before it cuts to OP 1
They couldn't fix this two decades old issue?
Joseph Bennett
Cel Conan is best Conan
But best OPs are from digital era
As the Dew best OP

Just let that 42 year old midget die already.

It's like the raws of the original japanese DVD stretched to 16:9 but with black bars on the side so the episode still isn't entirely 16:9 but it isn't the original ratio either. I forget what this is called but it usually happens if the copies they're sent have the black bars on the side in the original as part of the video rather than empty non-video space. By they I just mean whoever gets episodes like this but also stretches them for no reason. If you're watching something like anime in America which is still a form of niche, you'd think they'd figure "these people can probably handle outdated aspect ratios", I mean people watch fucking mobile phone instagram titkok vine whatever shit on youtube with 5x the black space. Hell Japan themselves add those shitty brick wall borders to old episode remasters which is distracting.
As far as I can tell there's no user option to toggle it which would be appreciated and considerate for a variety of people (such as those who actually can't handle non-widescreen formatted series for some autistic reason, and those who can.)
