Ironic?
[edit]An ironic thing is that Lantis was bought by and became a subsidary under Bandai Visual in May 2006.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:|{{{2}}}{{#if:|, {{{3}}}|}}|}}
May need to explain why that's ironic. I personally don't get it. Did they previously have particularly fierce rivalry or something? - Magnus Maximus 02:41, 15 April 2010 (EDT)
- Bandai are Takara's main rival. :) --abates 03:25, 15 April 2010 (EDT)
- See, I'd have known that if I'd taken two seconds to click the link to the Bandai page. Ugh. All that bot coding's done my brain in. - Magnus Maximus 03:31, 15 April 2010 (EDT)
- I'm still not sure that's actually ironic. --M Sipher 10:56, 15 April 2010 (EDT)
- Only in an Alannis Morisette sense. --Khajidha 11:06, 15 April 2010 (EDT)
- I think it's just the way it's phrased that's confusing me. It makes it sound like it was ironic (or curious) that they were bought, which it wasn't. What is ironic is that they are effectively helping Takara to fund their biggest rival, therefore hurting their own business standing (though admittedly in a very small way). - Magnus Maximus 14:37, 15 April 2010 (EDT)
- My bad on the phrasing. --Lonegamer78 17:55, 15 April 2010 (EDT)
