I'm just going to warn you the animes and manga I watch/read tend to be on the darker and more mature side, but there are plenty that are not so heart breaking.

Ayashi no Ceres(a.k.a Ceres Celestial Legend)- Hands down my favorite manga series of all time, though I would avoid the anime version.
Chrno Crusade- both the anime and manga are great, though they each go in slightly different directions
Peach Girl
Elfen Lied(very mature and I would not watch unless you can handle gore or extreme violence
Wolf's Rain
Cardcaptor Sakura
Shikabane Hime(Corpse Princess)
Cowboy Bebop
Hellsing & Hellsing Ultimate
Fullmetal Alchemist & Brotherhood
Tenchi Muyo & Tenchi Universe- Stay away from Tenchi in Tokyo
Trigun
Vandread
Outlaw Star
Ruroni Kenshin
Chibi Vampire
Blue Seed
Kiddy Grade
Bubblegum Crisis

Um...hm...gosh, it has been so long since I comprised a list that I'm sure I am forgetting at least half of the manga and shows I have watch/read over the years.

Ai...Al it is just a user name in the end.

It's actually derived from my middle name.

Either way wanting 10 years of experience for such a company is by no means too much, in fact I think it is too little.

Do you know how long ten years is in the toy business?  This literally denies anyone who started with the current generation or even the Bayformers.  All this fresh blood that has been there through what has been an epoch for Hasbro are denied this position because some hiring manager thinks double digits are cool.  Length of experience is the most arbitrary filter for talent, especially in a position where ideas and intuition are more important than the tried and true methods.

Quote

For such a major company would you hire someone with no experience? No, you wouldn't and you would find that it is an extreme waste of time and effort to weed through those who have none.

If they have a better idea.  I'd probably have them taken under the wing of someone with more experience, but I'm not going let a good idea pass me by because it came from the mouth of someone just because they haven't been doing something since the Bush administration.

Actually, there you go.  They are calling for more experience than someone can possibly have as President of the United States.

Quote

Yay you had the courage to apply, but I'm just being honest in saying you and likely dozens of others who applied without experience wasted their time.

Btw, because I'm on LinkedIn, it took me about ten minutes on an evening where I had nothing better to do.

Do you know nothing about how major companies work? Because I am getting a clear sign that you don't or else you would realize that just because you have a good idea that does not make you qualified for a job. So ten years blocks out collectors, the job is not, and I repeat, is not for collectors it is for someone who is qualified for the job and if someone with ten years of experience happens to be a collector that's great, but that is not part of the job. Ten years in the standards of toys is not a long time at all, sorry if you think that it is, but it really isn't and you are just trying to grasp at straws for reasons of why they should hire a collector like you over someone with the qualifications for a job.

Really, it is great that you have ideas for the line, but that does not somehow magically make you qualified for a job that is look for experience. No matter what you say experience is key for a job in a major company like Hasbro and I am sorry you fail to comprehend that, really I am.

Ponycake, let us just stop beating around the bush and face facts that you don't like me and I don't particularly care for you. AI is perfectly capable of defending himself and is in no need of a white knight.

Oh my gosh people, this position has NOTHING to do with G5. And you guys may not like G4 (I am not a huge fan either), but you have to understand that we are not the target audience, that is little girls. So far it has been a success with them, so why in the world would they end the cashcow now? We are collectors, but they are not doing this line for us, never have and never will.

AI-1701, you have zero qualifications for the job, so even if you did apply they would not hire you so don't even waste your time. I get that you are excited, but seriously...

Please don't be rude. You can say things without being rude, you know.

I wished it would be G5, and I know someone that could apply, but it seems the job is taken. Good luck to whoever got it

Why be nice when you can have a childish meltdown and act like you know better than everyone else and everyone is being dumb? :\

And you are acting better? There is a difference between nice and trying to save someone from going through with something that will, inevitably, be a waste of time. It is nice to think that you could get a job for Hasbro, but if you have none of the credentials they are looking for that qualify you for the job why bother? It is a waste of the companies time to weed through applications that do not meet their standards. Is it harsh to say that? Yes, but it's the truth. You may have the personality they are looking for, but without the experience it just is not worth their time or effort to look at your application.

And it is good that you are close to getting another bachelors degree AI. However, big companies also looking for experience in your field and Hasbro is looking for...what was it 5 or 10 years? Do you have that in accounting? Ideas and a degree are grand, but you have to be realistic. Also, My Little Pony as whole is not a cashcow for Hasbro, but G4, when compared to previous generations, has been a pretty big success for them among their core audience, so in no way would they give that up for a new generation. Once little girls move on to the next big thing and sales start drastically dropping then they will move on, but before then would be too mush of a risk to be worth it.

A set of outfits without any sort of pony would just be so stupid. Even if they were well detailed there is no way anyone would happily fork over $50 for them unless they were hand made and that sort of thing.

I am sort of happy I missed out on the packages with an exclusive this year. This is just getting sad...

But did anyone else kinda get a ".....what? O.o " moment when

Spoiler

the main woman was running in her heelsto guide the T-Rex to the  Indominus Rex?

Technically since Rainbowdash is missing her orange stripe they are not all accurate. Also, so far Funko has only made two boys and Hasbro has them pretty much beat with they amount of G1 boys they made. And Funkos take up more space than G1s due to their sculpted hair and hats(in the case of Trixie and Daring).

She has her orange stripe and besides Rainbow was the first Funko pony to come out so really she was just a test for the line, they have improved so much since them in the accuracy realm. The Hikari ones coming out are even more accurate. Two boys? More like 5 boys now Dr Whooves, Big Mac, Shining Armor, Discord, and Spike. Funko ponies only been around 2-3 years right now while G1 was out for 10 years and didn't even have boys until year 5 I believe? By then who know how many more boys we will have. depending on how you arrange them you can line them up very easily, I think its silly that people think space is such an issue with them, they are nothing compared to build a bear, zillas, fashion styles, styling, plushies, etc. 10 build a bears takes up the space of like 100 Funko ponies atleast.

Well someone on another Funko board mentioned that Rainbowdash was missing something....Honestly, there are so many complaints about accuracy that they all just kind of blur together at this point.

As for the boys, I do not count Discord and Spike as boys because they are not ponies. While it is true that Hasbro did not have boys until year 7 or so the time does not matter to me, so much as the amount and at the moment Hasbro has Funko beat.

It is not silly at all to mention how much space these guys take up because they do take up a lot and if you like to get as much space as possible on your shelf as I do setting them as close together as possible is hard to do when one has a huge hat like Trixie and Daring have. I try to use up every inch of space that I can when displaying things and it frustrates me when I can't due to silly hats (I love you Trixie, but seriously....).

I'm sad Emma is in such danger and that she and Hook are separated.... but at least she dropped the dagger! That's a good start. Hook could like, keep it strapped to himself at all times. Then, Emma can't do anything bad, because Hook will be keeping her from betraying herself. I was all teary when she refused to let Regina lose her happy ending even one more time. She didn't hesitate; she cares about Regina and wants her to finally be happy. Plus.... Emma showed that she finally completely trusts her parents to not fail her. She asked them to save her from the darkness one more time. And with Henry as the Author, though he refuses to change things, at the very least, he must record things.... which means he will know where Emma ends up!

Actually, since Henry broke the pen he can't do much of anything as the new Author. The pen is how the Author's recorded the greatest stories and without it...they don't seem to be able to do much.
