Gonzo to animate US TV series

Pow! Entertainment, the production company of American comic book
pioneer Stan Lee, has revealed on its website that it is developing an
animated television series named Quartz with GDH, the corporate parent
of the Gonzo anime studio.

Stan, I don't think that's wise. I think you had better take a long
look at GDH's books before you commit too many resources to this one.
My guess? Never sees air. GDH goes bankrupt and out of business
first.

Interesting, just recently Stan had his name attached to a Manga
preview in the US Shonen Jump, and now Anime.
Someone should tell him that the anime Industry only has 13 months
left to it's existance (really only 1 month) according to chicken
little's post 5 months ago:
Mar 18, 2008
"Be lucky I'm giving the present anime industry 18 months. I really
should give it only 6".

He'll probably claim he was using Aqua months; not his fault that we got
confused and thought he meant Manhome ones.

Augh! No, no, NO!
I tell you this: If I were on Aqua, watching more anime or the rise
and fall of the anime industry, would be about the last thing on my
mind!!

True, you'd be watching the rise and fall of the tide. The only question is

coming up with the money to continue to make anime is becoming more
and more of a mystery...) now that CrunchyShit and the like are taking
over...
Don't be so flippant -- I don't ascribe to your party line.

I'm surprised you don't have restraining orders out against me for
Luci Christian, Laura Bailey, ........
Cyclical booms?? Shit, the only reason con attendance is 1/5 of the
current amount is the sheer number of people robbing the anime
companies blind...

What is more likely is Pow! Entertainment puts up money for the show and
it gets done.

Agreed. It's work for hire, so any money problems would come from Pow!
and not GDH. If anything this might fund future GDH projects or lead to
more work for hire stuff.

The studio has to be in business long enough for the series to get
done.
Given Gonzo's present money situation, you have more faith in them
than I do, Gilles.

(How could con attendance be 1/5 of the current amount?)
In one significant instance, even to my own surprise,
Otakon's growth jumped from 1-2% the last couple years
to more than 10% this year:

Quite likely, US projects pay rather well up front compared to what
often happens in Japan. A friend in Tokyo was explaining how his company
did a TV series and did not get paid for the broadcast, the money comes
from DVD sales, overseas licenses and tie in items.

I'm absolutely serious. I'm just saying I'm surprised you guys
haven't basically alerted the studios about my presence at cons and
demanded they take action to protect their female voice talents.
I'm absolutely shocked.

Please read for comprehension.
The only reason con attendance is even 20% of what it is is because of
the rampant theft of anime.

Well, it's good you're not in cons then, even if for a different reason.
Proclaiming doom and gloom is one thing,
but endangering people's safety is another.
Maybe you should take personal responsiblity and seek some help for that
since you obviously realize it (so you have no excuse).
(Instead of always relying on cons to do things for you,
especially stuff that you could do for yourself.)

Yet, it wasn't the last few years prior (only 1-2% annual growth),
so I don't think that's the reason for the sudden sharp rise.

My very presence in society would probably qualify. That's why I have
to be very careful with where I go and what I do. I may take a trek
down to Vegas for Labor Day weekend, but any assurances I'll make it
back the following Tuesday might be up in the air.

The only real "help" I could get would be to be locked up -- for good
this time.
I can only say that the more I saw my therapist, the more I saw in
myself that confirmed to me that they better find a nice comfortable
place for me before something tragic happens.
I learned a lot of things in therapy that had me go the wrong
direction.
The only reason I'm on the outside to begin with at all is that I'm
helping a friend to pay her rent and keep a roof over her head --
other than that, really not much keeping me from incarceration again.
I've been out of jail almost ten years now, and still have no real
reason _why_ I should stay out.
Another few months, and it probably won't matter anyway...
> (Instead of always relying on cons to do things for you,

Unfortunately, the _level_ of help would have to be some sort of
legislative/judicial thing. Outpatient won't do it.

Actually, I _do_ think that's the reason for the sharp rises in
conventions the last several years (should you choose to believe the
numbers). How else could the numbers at cons be going up so sharply
when the sales are plummeting by a similar factor?

Las Vegas isn't all that bad.
We visit our house there from time to time.

Don't wanna go into your personal life,
but consider that you'd be a greater help to her
when you sort out your own issues where you could help her.
You're far from the only one I've known people with issues,
but they worked on it and continue to progress.

Fansubs have been an issue for the last couple years
when the industry growth has been slowing or declining,
but cons usually still have only a deliberate but steady growth
throughout that time.
It's only Otakon this past weekend that it jumped.
So, no, I don't think that's it.

Here's a hint: If the state had the funding to do so, the first
college I attended wanted to lock me up for at least two full years
inpatient -- this is Wisconsin and this is 1989.
I do that, my friend is dead because she can't survive on the streets.

Nothing new. Gonzo animated GI Joe: Sigma 6 for an American
production company, just as Japanese studios has done for hundreds of
American shows for decades. Between this and Afro Samurai (a similar
Japanese-NorthAmerican collaboration), Gonzo could be positioning
itself as a major player in American animation production. Didn't
they animate most of Gotham Knight?
Terrence Briggs, hasn't seen enough Gonzo work to hate them. Yet.
Peace to you...
