According to Disney’s supplemental material they’ve released over the years, their version does take place in the Caribbean.

Ariel always leaving bloody footprints in her wake would be so metal.

They’re also going to be selling Tetsuo’s jacket.

The same week that Danerys destroyed King’s Landing, Attack on Titan destroyed a city, too. The difference is that it was exhilarating and actually made us care. It felt earned.

Wasn’t there a character in Martian Successor Nadesico who refused to watch the last episode of his favorite anime? IRRC, it was so the show would never end in his heart.

They didn’t scrub the gay romance. It’s still there. They just went for a more literal translation that keeps the vague language of the original Japanese. People are used to the more direct “I love you” of ADV’s localization and are mad that Netflix went with “I like you.”

You're going to love the Rebuild. It's a giant meta f-you to the toxic otaku man-baby fan base. The 3rd one is especially condemning of waifu culture and escapism. 

In the pre-streaming anime days, this was common. You had no other options because if something looked cool in a magazine or you liked the episode you saw at a con or a friends house, it’s not like Blockbuster was going to carry it.

For those with questions, I’ve started a Q & A over on the ODeck.
