15:55:07 <bay|AX|FUNi> we have the subpass and the all access pass
15:55:38 <bay|AX|FUNi> we used to have one tier, and then we broke it into two tiers...
15:56:02 <bay|AX|FUNi> we're doing some new stuff with the all access pass
15:57:36 <bay|AX|FUNi> we hvae other ways to watch
15:57:53 <bay|AX|FUNi> android, apple, kindle, (lost)
15:57:51 <bay|AX|FUNi> and we just launched the ps4 app
15:58:10 <bay|AX|FUNi> xbox one app is in progress
15:58:12 <bay|AX|FUNi> and will be coming out soon
15:58:24 <bay|AX|FUNi> so you can watch tons of anime
15:58:31 <bay|AX|FUNi> including our largest simulcast lineup of all time
15:58:32 <bay|AX|FUNi> we have 20 shows
15:58:55 <bay|AX|FUNi> one piece, fairy tail, ninja slayer, ultime otaku teacher, castle town dandelion, heroic tale of arslan
15:58:59 <bay|AX|FUNi> snow white with the red hair
15:59:01 <bay|AX|FUNi> ranpo kitan
15:59:03 <bay|AX|FUNi> gansta
15:59:07 <bay|AX|FUNi> shimoneta, that's the first half
15:59:08 <bay|AX|FUNi> and

15:59:14 <bay|AX|FUNi> bikini warriors
15:59:17 <bay|AX|FUNi> prison school
15:59:21 <bay|AX|FUNi> hetalia: the world twinkle
15:59:26 <bay|AX|FUNi> aquarion lgoos
15:59:32 <bay|AX|FUNi> sky wizar'ds academy
15:59:48 <bay|AX|FUNi> junjo romantica 3
15:59:37 <bay|AX|FUNi> overlord
15:59:55 <bay|AX|FUNi> junjo.. that's something new for us...
16:00:10 <bay|AX|FUNi> (and two tba boxes)
16:00:03 <bay|AX|FUNi> who doesn't know what a simulcast is?
16:00:50 <bay|AX|FUNi> our next show that we're announcing today is chaos dragon
16:01:07 <bay|AX|FUNi> we got a great pedigree on this
16:01:13 <bay|AX|FUNi> psychopass, baccano...
16:01:21 <bay|AX|FUNi> it's based on a table top roleplaying game
16:01:30 <bay|AX|FUNi> and we got one more..
16:01:36 <bay|AX|FUNi> Venus Project Climax
16:01:46 <bay|AX|FUNi> this show is a blend of animation and live action
16:01:55 <bay|AX|FUNi> so this is a different show than what we normally have
16:01:58 <bay|AX|FUNi> last season we had a live action
16:02:00 <bay|AX|FUNi> this show mixes it
16:02:06 <bay|AX|FUNi> this follows the japanese idol thing
16:02:20 <bay|AX|FUNi> the anime portion is an idol battle to become the new idol princess
16:02:27 <bay|AX|FUNi> and the live action portion which is a variety show
16:02:34 <bay|AX|FUNi> so keep an eye out cause we'll likely have a preview
16:02:41 <bay|AX|FUNi> and that is a lot of anime
16:02:42 <bay|AX|FUNi> that's 20 shows
16:02:48 <bay|AX|FUNi> biggest ever
16:02:53 <bay|AX|FUNi> give it up
16:02:58 <bay|AX|FUNi> 20 new anime in one season
16:03:17 <bay|AX|FUNi> thanks production team on the backend for doing all those shows
16:03:31 <bay|AX|FUNi> so in addition to the simulcast, we started an initiative for broadcast dubs
16:03:46 <bay|AX|FUNi> broadacst dubs - use broadcast materials, stream to fans faster than ever
16:04:08 <bay|AX|FUNi> home video releases - bluray/dvd relases will use the home video materials, audio/video may vary from broadcast dub
16:04:21 <bay|AX|FUNi> 4-6 weeks after it airs in japan, you get an english dub
16:04:37 <bay|AX|FUNi> last season, we broadcast dubbed 10 shows
16:05:22 <bay|AX|FUNi> we are continuing 3 of our broadcast dubs
16:05:33 <bay|AX|FUNi> we are continugin ultimate otaku teacher, arslan and ninja slayer
16:05:38 <bay|AX|FUNi> which means for the new season, we'll have new dubs coming up
16:05:45 <bay|AX|FUNi> we'll be announcing those very very soon
16:06:21 <bay|AX|FUNi> so also part of our broadcast dub initiatlve, we have have a primetime block called dubbletalk
16:06:32 <bay|AX|FUNi> so we wanted to og back to the idea of an anime prime timeblock
16:06:51 <bay|AX|FUNi> so we took the top 3 shows, and we aired them 3 of them back to back to back, and then we do a live show right after
16:06:54 <bay|AX|FUNi> where we recap
16:07:04 <bay|AX|FUNi> which is a way to interact with you fans
16:07:23 <bay|AX|FUNi> twitch has been featuring us and has been a great partner
16:07:34 <bay|AX|FUNi> you guys are the part because it's for you guys and about your interaction
16:07:39 <bay|AX|FUNi> and we give away things
16:07:57 <bay|AX|FUNi> so actually, here's a promo video from the first season in the winter
16:09:12 <bay|AX|FUNi> the current season is assasination classroom, seraph of the end, and blood blockade battlefront
16:10:21 <bay|AX|FUNi> (another promo vid)
16:10:48 <bay|AX|FUNi> video on demand...
