Would you rather watch a Michael Bay movie or a M. Night Shyamalan movie?

While I seek out some films by certain directors, there are films that I avoid by them as well. But what it comes down to is whether the story is of interest and that I'm interested in the people involved with it. I've enjoyed films from both of these directors in the past and depending on what's out I'd watch more of what they produce, content depending.
In other words, a wishy-washy answer because I don't distill it down to just the director. Both have their share of crap to be sure.

As a fellow Otaku no Video backer(I could only afford Basic), how do you feel about how Robert Woodhead has been managing the updates so far? Do you agree that ideally people who kickstarted something should receive their stuff after one year? Also if you don't mind telling, which reward tier?

Absolute Zero Now
I've got no problems with it at all. As long as a timeline is set and is largely met then I have little problem with how it plays out. I tend to go for a simple tier without much in the way of frills because I simply want the show. I'm glad they do a lot more for others and I'm just glad to see this release coming out in a good way. They did a great job with BGC, which was a huge undertaking as a kickstarter/bd learning experience, so I'm just excited to see what's next.

This is the writer of the "death haiku" thing. I'm sorry about reminding you about your medical issues and personal problems. It was indeed part of a meme (specifically Ninja Slayer), and was meant to be in good fun. I hope things have improved for you, and again, I sincerely apologize.

No worries at all. :) I needed a break from things anyway :)

Do you think Media Blasters is putting a lot of effort to a ecchi show that nobody cares about?

Since you don't reference a show I can't say too much.
If you mean Ladies Versus Butlers?
Then no. If anything, them putting in the effort and showing that effort so publicly in the casting of the dub for it is a huge reassuring moment for even those that are NOT fans of the show. Because it means when MB gets on to its next show that they DO care about, they'll hope it gets the same effort put into it.
And if you're not a fan of the show then let it be a show that MB learns from in terms of its production and so forth.
Also, never use "nobody cares about" because it's always 100% false. Someone cares about the show. And once it's in the market, there will be more. Maybe not millions, but there will be more.
Every show is someone's favorite show.

Do you New York will become the home of ecchi and hentai dubs?

Considering nobody else is producing hentai anime? More than likely. And I'm glad. Because damnit, we need more more hentai in the world.
okay, we need more of the fun hentai in the world in addition to the usual creepy stuff. I far prefer the lighter material or the relationship type stuff, though I know there's less of that overall. Thankfully, as Kitty starts to dig into what's available, they've got a backlog of years worth of unlicensed shows to look at. So hopefully less crap and more quality.
And there is quality hentai! But then again, I also think there's quality porn (woo, X-Art!).

Opinions on Media Blasters using DVD-R?

I've been fine with it because the reality is that there's little difference overall for the end user. If you didn't know going into it you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. And at this point it allows them to get into production quicker, fix things quicker when problems do occur and keep from being overextended. When you're trying to bring a company back that had faltered like MB did, this is something that you almost have to do. it's not a corner cutting thing in my mind at all.

Do you think it's fair to judge a show by it's fans? It happens for music all the time and I am ok with that.

I personally don't, because the ones that make the most noise usually aren't representative. I prefer to deal with individuals in that sense. Besides, I can't let the "bad" fans turn me away from something I might actually like. Hell, if I listened to the haters of any number of books, movies, anime or manga I wouldn't have experienced what I consider some very fun and enjoyable works over the years.

RECITE YOUR DEATH HAIKU, CHRIS-SAN, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

This was actually the question I got that had me stop dealing with ask.fm for a bit, to be honest. It's nothing with whoever actually posted it because I'm sure it was just part of some meme or thing going around at the time. But at that phase I was dealing with some medical stuff and a lot of stress and on top of other recent losses in my life it hit me pretty hard and I walked away for awhile.

How counterproductive is a "no dub, no buy" stance towards receiving new dubs?

Absolute Zero Now
It's an individual choice. If you don't like your anime in Japanese with subtitles than you're more than fine in your position. You just miss out on some shows. I've got any number of live action foreign films that I can't get some people to watch because it's not in English. Some folks simply can't, won't or are unable to do it for a variety of reasons and I'm not one to judge. We all have our situations and reasons why we like things.
The releasing studios know this and have built in expectations because of it. So it's not counterproductive in a sense. They know there's a segment of fans that won't buy it without a dub. I think that segment has gone down a bit over the years where fewer dubs were produced and their desire to see the shows outweighed the lack of a dub. But that core percentage will always be there and accounted for.
