He passes through from time to time. I did hear from him and he hopes that we all continue to make TAN magazine covers. Still it just wonā€™t be the sameā€¦ :frowning:

[size=16]TAN Late Night Radio Show[/size]

[quote=outlander]

The school kids and working stiffs are in bed. Itā€™s time for the TAN Late Night Radio Show. This show is for hard core night owl otakus. Pour yourself a shot of Jack Danielā€™s and grab some smokes. Here is the place to discuss anime stuff, be it music, images, opinions and what not. This is going to be a pretty loose, free-wheeling Radio show,but there are two strict rules

1)No ā€œFacebook Blogsā€œ or spamming

2)You canā€™t post to this thread until 11:00 p.m. (your time)[/quote]

There is a series of shorts of TTGL called Gurren Lagann Parallel Works. Theyā€™re all pretty cool with great soundtracks. Iā€™ll post them occasionally Hereā€™s one of my favorites

Gotta say, Outlander, that pic in the first post is a vast improvement on the original!

Iā€™ll have to warm up the olā€™ Packard Bell, settle back and give a listenā€¦

I donā€™t consider this as a blog because it is anime-related

Iā€™m calling in to the radio show to express my disgust with Sentai Filmworks and Section23 Films marketing department

Except for a couple of small ads in Otaku Magazine, they do nothing to promote the forum, their products or the company itself. They may have a table at some small ā€œMom and Popā€ conventions, but ignore the large ones. In marketing you need to put your name and brand in front of as many people as possible. They donā€™t do that. By being in front of thousands of anime fans, rather than a few 100, you expose yourself to paying customers and sell some products to boot.

They could also expand their product base to include selling mangas and other anime items, sort of like J-List or Robertā€™s Corner Anime Store in increase revenue. I would love to get my hands on this department and really make it hum. If I had controlling interest in Sentai, the first thing I would do is terminate the Marketing staff and farm it out to a professional marketing and development company.
Sorry about the rant. Hereā€™s something to soften things

ā€œCall Meā€ from Cowboy Bebop. The best score from the series

Iā€™d support you running that Outlander!

I think right now that Sentai should stay away from manga and other ventures. Thatā€™s largely what got ADV into trouble. Also, they do attend most of the larger conventions and generally have at least a booth, though they donā€™t always hold panels at all of them.

Theyā€™ve also improved their marketing quite a bit this past year or so. They now regularly have front page advertisements on ANN, particularly when new titles are released. I donā€™t even know if Sentai would have the finances to hire a real marketing company, and I doubt they have many inside the company that are focused on that particular aspect. After all, anime is a very tiny market and the majority of it is now online.
