Let's vent about how long the new series is taking

[AhkneeKitteen]

I appreciate all the merch, Bandai. Really, I do - I would appreciate it a shitton more if you would make it much easier to access outside of Japan. Well, at least you can order some of the stuff from Amazon, but the point stands. I WANT THE STATIONERY SUPPLIES, DAMN IT ALL.

Assholes.

I like how the Western fandom is getting extremely antsy with how long the new series is taking. Throw us a bone, guys - hell, I would throw a celebration for getting a two-inch picture of anything from the new series, that is how desperate I am. I can't say how the Japanese fans are doing, since they've had a steady stream of fantastic merch readily available and the short stint of the Myu to tide them over.

(By the way, watched the final performance of La Reconquista - so much better than the opening night, also Satomi started crying and it gave me war flashbacks to Anza's graduation also SHE CRIES JUST LIKE USAGI WOULD??? AUGH MY HEART! Actually all the main five started crying it was adorbs and then Yuuga had to remind Satomi to initiate the final goodbye UGH UGH UGH Yuuga you've stolen my heart too just like Nao stahp please)

I get it's pretty common that things aren't really leaked for a new anime until a few months in advance, but sweet heavens, we're in November (nearly December) and, if we wanna keep with a winter season release, this has to happen before March of 2014. THROW US A BONE.

I'm starting to think Jesus is gonna return before the new series airs.

Oh, also, apparently the new series is being based off the original anime, which I suppose we all could've assumed considering all the character merch has followed that style. When the premiere streams, it'll have subs in ten languages. There's your news!

tl;dr: throw us a bone in December or I will probably swim to Japan and kick all the people involved in these delays
also give me more readily available merch here in the US, dammit

I've been working conventions for the past year now, here in the US... we really don't have any answers. I'm kind of sick of the rumors I hear at most of the cons I work too but it's all I have to go on... sadly I think the US is meant to be kept in the dark for the sins that the old dub have committed.

I know it still hasn't aired, but Japan probably has the most information out right now regarding when the new series will premiere and if it will even come stateside... I want to stay optimistic but no one is informed in my network and it bothers me. I am just hoping that this isn't overshadowed...

[AhkneeKitteen]

Japanese fans aren't getting fed any more information than we are, shit's being kept so tightly wrapped you could fucking mummify things in that shit.

Seriously though, we've had this dangling over our heads for the last year and a half at this point (we all know that this far into December, getting news is highly unlikely), throw us character art or some shit, my god.

[moon yagami]

yeah, I understand... I just thought I'd throw in my perspective because everyone around me who knows I work conventions thinks I have answers. I haven't had much internet time to go digging either because I've been working pretty much nonstop for conventions and it's starting to take it's toll on me.

I guess all I can say is the same thing I keep hearing at conventions when attendees ask the industry guests at panels I'm lucky to attend, "We'll know when we know..."
