15:23:21 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Before you had, I guess, when I went a panel, you were having trouble getting licenses for Jdrama... what changed that lets you get jdrama now?
15:23:51 <bay|SC14|CR> A; We've been talking to the licensors, and as time has gone on, and we've proven we can do simuls and we've proven there is an audience and we've been able to show this is something they should license to us
15:23:59 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Are you guys likely to get more Gundam?
15:24:22 <bay|SC14|CR> A: We used to have Gundam available, but the licensor, Bandai, went under, so we had to pull them. So it depends who holds them now.
15:24:33 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: WiiU and 3DS?
15:24:37 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Cannot confirm nor deny
15:24:50 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Watching Monogatari on Crunchyroll, and there is an OVA missing, will you get the rights?
15:24:57 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Tell Aniplex to give it to us
15:25:11 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: How big is your news staff?
15:25:43 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Our news team works hard, we're lead by Patrick Macias... we have 5-6 regular contributors, but the actual size, i'm not sure since most work remotely
15:27:29 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Offline mode? So for people who don't have access to the internet
15:27:30 <bay|SC14|CR> A: The way the model works, is that it's all streaming, which lets us get what we can... Japanese licensors are afraid of piracy, it's not really within our model to do that, i can understand why people want that...
15:27:30 <bay|SC14|CR> it depends on demands and if our licensors would be okay with that
15:27:33 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: You mentioned they are re-modeling the manga-app, will this be on other devices?
15:27:31 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Are you interested in other devices?
15:27:41 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Amazon Kindle store?
15:27:59 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Want to make the experience better first, then want to branch to more devices
15:28:22 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: We like the older anime, like GTO, Onegai Teacher, ...can we see older shows?
15:28:34 <bay|SC14|CR> A; We do add back catalog... like we added Kenshin in december...
15:28:45 <bay|SC14|CR> we do get them from time to time...it depends on licensors and who is holding it at the moment
15:29:20 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Hajime no Ippo... how long will it stay up since it's kinda niche?
15:29:11 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Rising was the latest simulcast ...
15:29:32 <bay|SC14|CR> we go after everything there is out there
15:29:43 <bay|SC14|CR> maybe with ippo, even if wasn't super popular, we still go after it
15:29:55 <bay|SC14|CR> we always try to get back catalog titles, but it's a slower rate than simulcasts
15:30:16 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: So at the moment, premium gets 1000 points a month, are you planning to do anything with those?
15:30:17 <bay|SC14|CR> A: I don't know....
15:30:30 <bay|SC14|CR> I think they are just like the fun thing..like the star that everyone loves
15:30:39 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Since they announced that a Kantai anime this summer...
15:30:48 <bay|SC14|CR> A: We try to go after everything

15:31:09 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Since you got the new jojo anime.. were you trying to get the manga
15:31:10 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Talk to Viz...
15:31:27 <bay|SC14|CR> It's hard to get manga that's already licensed in the states under other publishers...
15:31:57 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Looking at going into production at all, teaming up with studios to create content?
15:32:02 <bay|SC14|CR> A; It would be quite a different thing...
15:32:16 <bay|SC14|CR> How many people have seen Crunchyhime... the poster yesterday?
15:32:50 <bay|SC14|CR> (asking the audience about interest in original content)
15:33:18 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: For log horizon, when there is a new season announced at the end, do you get it or do you need to rebid?
15:33:31 <bay|SC14|CR> A: We're normally pretty good about getting S2s, (lost)
15:33:52 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Gyrozetter, (missed...Senki), or Yokai Watch?
15:33:45 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Depends if offered
15:34:05 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Considered viewer numbers public?
15:34:12 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Pretty sure we keep those private for a reason.
15:34:36 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Back when Titan was simulcast and it was both on Funimation on Crunchyroll... is that going to be more common?
15:34:42 <bay|SC14|CR> A: I don't know if you noticed, it's becoming more common
15:34:53 <bay|SC14|CR> last season. there was nobunagun and this season there is fairy tail
15:35:36 <bay|SC14|CR> And we also get shows in places Funimation doesn't like ... daimidaler (missed) and akuma no riddle, we have those in non-english speaking territories like europe
15:35:58 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Spanish subtitles...
15:36:13 <bay|SC14|CR> A: We actually have those on many shows
15:36:25 <bay|SC14|CR> Check the flags next to the shows
15:36:31 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Spanish dubs?
15:36:38 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Not likely...
15:36:54 <bay|SC14|CR> Not sure if we'll be able to make it available in the US
15:37:30 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: Engaged in the Unidentified... it was the day after it was released in Japan. Is that a concern and do you try to get shows back under true simulcast?
15:38:08 <bay|SC14|CR> A: Sometimes that's not under our control, we do talk to Japan about it
15:38:34 <bay|SC14|CR> Q: For titles like Kenshin, it's really hard to find the subtitled episodes on Android because it defaults to the dub.. will there be a way to easily switch back and forth
15:39:06 <bay|SC14|CR> A: we can't bring it up with the android developer
15:39:32 <bay|SC14|CR> (Was last question)
