Biggest joint ever?

[DeSiBoY]

What is the largest joint release you have seen? By largest, I mean, the most number of groups working together on a single show. I don't think I have seen anything with more than 3 groups before. Someone should start a temp group with each member(position) representing a different group, lol. Sorry for the random thread, but it just occured to me, so I wanted to put it down before I forgot.

Depends how you define "joint" and "biggest".

The largest tag with individual groups has been 5 I believe with a handful of cases of 4s.

There have been things like OPTP and 4X()5DF which was around 6 or 7 groups working together under one tag.

And then there was the "if you touch it your name goes on it, but 3 people did most of the work" things (see here and here) which I can't remember if they finally ended with 30 something groups or what.

29 groups... that's pretty grotesque...

4-ways are rare but not unheard of. The most prominent example I can think of is the AnimeONE-Gekkostate-Menclave joint.

Menclave counts as 2 groups since they still feel compelled to act independently of each other and also use the [Conclave-Mendoi] tag.

So it's actually AnimeONE-Gekkostate-Mendoi-Conclave.

Also, I still consider the Triad-AonE joint to be 4 groups.

Menclave is really not the same as Mendoi + Conclave... Same goes for Triad; it's long past NLA&Ishin&A-F (not that that's a bad thing, I actually think mergers are quite good, though when the group size increases, relative productivity goes down.)

Also, I think one of the longest tags i've seen in the last few months is that AonE-Gekkostate-Menclave one yes.. long tags fail :P

Hence the shortened names for groups, FLF for example. A lot of the more recent goups in the last 3 or 4 years though have stopped shortening, first in regular releases and now in joints as well. No real reason for it either.

I'm smoking it right now.... heh...

^so it wasnt just me who thought the title "biggest joint ever" meant something else.

[zhurai-tsuki]

hmm.. I think it was the 5DS joint (that was canceled because of raid by 4Kids about Yugioh 5ds series.)

though most joints I see personally nowadays are mostly just 2 (and rarely 3)

but then again that's me >.>

Please enlighten me.

[dj_tjerk]

I'm not really in any position to do the explaining (if anyone is or feels the urge to elaborate, please go ahead), but menclave is basically a seperate group. It has members from both mendoi and conclave (mendoi is practically dead now, fully merged into menclave), but also members that aren't in either of those.

It's just A-keep 3.0 in reality.

I think we were from... a-e, anime-kraze, dp, saizen, conclave and another group i can't remember the name of when we released ayatsuri sakon, but we did make a new group instead of making it a "joint label".

There's DCTP (Detective Conan Translation Project) which consists of Kaizou, Neg, KazeNoKoe, HnI, GinRei, and Knightus who together have put out a ton of episodes, focusing mainly on storyline episodes and once in a while Anime Original episodes, they're my favorite group out there and the only reason most people can even watch Detective Conan past episode 200.

How could we forget about this ridiculous joint?

Aquastar-Anime & Sprocket-Hole & The Waffle House

[JediNight]

I've always laughed at the groups that put 3-4 group names on files all the time. IMHO if you can't consistently find shows that most people in the group want to work on, then why is the group staying together?

Or go with what a lot of vets do in that situation -- you just come up with a Project name or collaboration tag (FLF or Mithril FMP2 etc) for everyone to use.

[Mango-chan]

joints are just like exponential decays: the more groups, the slower

of course, there are some exceptions
