10:15:22 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> Now a Q&A with our producers
10:17:43 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> Q: (With the growth of the North America market, does the reaction influence production?)
10:18:46 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> A: Definitely, but in the past 10 years with internet streaming, I think anime has become more global and is reaching new audiences... because of that we've gotten more feedback from people across the world, we're conscious of that fact, and we want to make a product that people around the world will like
10:20:28 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> Q: Like the look of the special editions.. they are interesting...and i've noticed an increase in that kind of collector's edition, but one thing i've noticed that hasn't increased is the special features...has there been looking into putting into production documents or commentary or those kinds of things?
10:22:28 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> A: We'd love to consider it, we're consumer driven, so if that's what you'd like to see, please send your feedback
10:22:47 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> Q: BD and DVD for Sound Euphonium? Season 2 plans?
10:23:23 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> A: In terms of the boxset, I'm sure there will be one, so please check the website for updates
10:23:53 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> Q: Where did the name Pony Canyon come from?
10:24:05 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> A: There were two separate companies... Pony and Canyon.. and they merged
10:25:15 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> Q: I remember hearing that Rokka would get a dub if it does well. Based on what metric is that decision going to be made?
10:26:09 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> A: If the producer wants a dub, it helps, but feedback helps too, so we encourage you to send feedback telling what titles you want to be dubbed
10:27:10 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> Q: One thing about the Yuki Yuna set is they contain art and comments.. if you get positive feedback about that, would you consider doing artbooks and commentary books?
10:27:33 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> A: I don't know, but if enough of you want it, it might happen
10:28:47 <bay|Ota|PonyCanyon> Q: (Favorite part of your job)
