Actually no, those episodes were recorded before she had her baby. It's just that licensing stuff got in the way of it. However, the next arc after Thriller Bark will have a delay depending on how long it takes them to get the license for it.

Well now I'm interested. How could there now be license issues for One Piece?

And to think I liked Slaine at one point.

Pretty much my reaction to the whole thing. I still think the ending was pretty dumb but I wanna see what the next season does to make up for it.

It was because they were negotiating for the rights to stream the season as well, so even though they had the rights to the season on DVD, they wanted to get it streamed too.

One of our friends works for Funimation, but even then, she isn't allowed to talk about every little thing that goes on in her office.

Somehow I found the anonymous soldier that spoke to Slaine to be the most interesting moment of the episode... I'm weird like that.

Anyways, pretty much everybody died because OMG subversion and OMG drama, Inaho was barely a character and the princess was targeted for death since ep so I guess it wasn't that surprising.

So it felt dumb, but like you said S2 will ultimately make up for it or completely bury the show.

We actually don't know that she's still dead (the closing remarks seem to imply she's not, that Slaine took her away and might have saved her) and that's all the more aggravating. Because that would make it 3 times she cheated death in 12 fucking episodes. Ugh.

But seriously fuck Slaine. There was no reason for him to have saved Saazbaum and he just ruined everything. Petty jealousy potentially cost the life of the woman he loved and gave us the incredibly meaningless death of Inaho.

Maybe we'll get an interesting character in season 2. But chances are it'll be Slaine and I just despise him now.

Well that's... interesting. Doesn't make sense to me that they'd be separate at this point or that it wouldn't be easy to do, but then I'm no businessman so can't speak to the idiocy that goes on in the licensing world..

1. Because Funimation initially started streaming the show at 396, they did not own the rights to stream the earlier stuff. They have to purchase a separate license for that.

2. Funimation also has to purchase a license to stream the episodes dubbed.

3. They also have to purchase a license to release the show on BD, which Toei is refusing to do.

Captain Earth finished this weekend too and I have to say I enjoyed it, even though the first seven or so episodes were a chore to get through and the final episode was rather abrupt (and open-ended).

The mecha action was pretty scarce, but what it had was excellent and all of the Midsummer Knights were such great characters I was happy to watch it just for them. Its a pity that the Planetary Gears didn't get the same level of development, because Amara and Moco were the only ones that were of any interest after they had their memories restored. Puck REALLY needed better development too, because every time he was involved in something there was so much exposition and terminology involved that I kept getting confused.

I say it like I said it to Suzu last night...Aldnoah Zero is the story of how Micchy actually achieved everything he set out to do after he went total bonkers
