19:49:38 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> we haven't been able to acquire it

19:49:45 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> Q: Now that Neon Alley is on the internet, coming to iphone and android?
19:49:49 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> A: So basically, what we're doing with the expansion plan is listening to the fans
19:49:53 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> we can't do everything at once

19:49:58 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> definitely in the plans
19:50:00 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> Q: How come there are rumors going around that naruto shippuden is ending?

19:50:13 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> we are looking at the platforms... we don't have anything to officially announce
19:50:33 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> (caught up without a few questions, someone asked about why they should watch neon alley vs illegal sites)
19:50:39 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> (Still answering that right now)

19:52:00 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> (made that clearer)
19:52:10 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> (scheduling question)
19:53:01 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> Q: The episode of progression is slow on Neon Alley, is there any way to change that?
19:53:07 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> A: A lot of that is because of the lack of catchup
19:53:13 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> As soon as we have catchup that will change
19:53:37 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> A lot of people don't realize that because we're bringing these to english, you are getting these out of the dub studio
19:53:53 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> like naruto, you are getting the episode like a week after it's done being dubbed
19:54:26 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> Q: How do you choose new shows?
19:54:39 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> A: (look at everything...)
19:55:28 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> I take it these are from Fandom post......
19:55:32 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> give me a good one
19:55:50 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> Q: Going to resume the Monster release? Going on neon alley?
19:55:56 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> A: all right... monster...
19:56:02 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> full disclosure... monster is one of my favorite seies
19:56:19 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> this is what i want to say who buy anime on dvd
19:56:31 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> the best way to show that you want more of something is to buy it when it comes out
19:56:33 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> buy it when it comeso ut
19:56:44 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> it tells the retailer, the anime companies, etc that it's popular
19:56:47 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> there was a huge push for monster
19:56:51 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> gorgeous box set
19:56:54 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> but unfortunately
19:56:58 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> it did not catch on as much as planned
19:57:03 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> i can't give a definititve answer
19:57:06 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> but there is no current plan at this time
19:57:13 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> it's a beautiful series and we don't have any news
19:57:20 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> the sad news is the first box set didn't do as well as we hoped
19:57:29 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> with anime series, everyone comes to the party at set 1
19:57:47 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> as much as we are passionate about anime, it's ultimately a business and a business decision
19:57:57 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> sorry to give sad news, but there isn't an update at this time
19:58:02 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> okay one final question
19:58:24 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> Q: Idea for neon alley and hard getting it started?
19:58:30 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> A: Definitely difficult getting started
19:58:36 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> the idea just came from the fans
19:58:42 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> obviously people were happy when toonami came back on the air
19:58:47 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> it was a huge driver for the anime business in general
19:58:54 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> we felt there was a lack in themarket of quality dubbed content
19:59:01 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> there is a lot of ways to watch subtitled content
19:59:06 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> but there aren't many to watch dubbed content
19:59:13 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> we felt that was part of the industry that is lacking
19:59:21 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> so we felt we should serve that part of the market
19:59:23 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> we're out of time
19:59:30 <bay|AX|NeonAlley> thank you guys so much for coming to this panel
