Naruto permanently dropped [Updated]

2008/07/18

Attention Dattebayo fans,

Effective immediately, we are terminating our subtitling efforts on the "Naruto Shippuuden". This decision is not up for discussion and not negotiable. You can guess why this is happening, and no, there is nothing you can do about it as there will always be assholes who want to piss in the pot so to speak.

It was a difficult decision, but it had to be done.

It's been a fun 4 years!

as long as they dont drop bleach i guess.

Mahō Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora, new project by the brilliant Osamu Kobayashi behind Gurren-Lagann episode 4. :D

I think I'm in for a few tears.

Does not compute but will watch anyway because you seem to like stirring things up. :lol

At least tell me the animation is not shitty. :(

I could ask my friend about it. He was DB's main translator when they took off but still has close ties to the group. He's the one where the "weeaboo wife" was needed in one of the credits, I think.

oh...also, it started last season, but continuing through Summer...

Slice of life comedy that's NOT one of those harem type romance series...puts a harvest god that's mischevious and lacks common sense into comical real-world situations with a decent helping of some serious plot progression. If you're into that kind of stuff, then I HIGHLY recommend Wagaya no Oinaraisama.

Really, for the most part, light hearted and just something you can flip on without thinking deeply into. Originally kept my eye on it because Yukana (C2 from Code Geass) and Nakamura Yuichi (Tomoya from Clannad) were playing the gender bender roles. Yukana's voice acting is VERY good and fits the role perfectly. But what I was really surprised about was Kano Yui's performance as one of the side roles (Sakura Misaki)...amazingly well done for her particular role.

All other series I just wait until i get home to watch...i actually stream Wagaya from home so I can watch it at work if the raws aren't up by sunday night...(remote access torrent client 4tw)

Come on,you can't compare Bones Filler to Pierrot's filler. Bones is the master of good fillers although there are a few misses.

But... it's Excalibur... possibly with multiple Excaliburs... \shudders

BTW, nice cameo that wasn't in the manga <3

Soul Eater is the "master" of nothing. BONES really dropped the ball on this show imo. And that's coming from a huge BONES fan. :p
 
Just watched the first ep of Blade of Immortal, hopefully it picks up because the first ep was filled with LOL BEETRAIN moments and not a single piece of the stylish gore the first chapter had


and what's with Manji suddenly having flashbacks of his childhood? and putting characters from farther into the series in the events of the first epsidoe was weird too

Just finished the Persona anime. W...T...F?

I didn't hate it but it was just a bit better than mediocre...

I actually like the show but I thought it was almost all filler so far :lol

Btw, I hear that Natsume Yuujin-chou is promising.

After 2 eps, I disagree. Unless you absolutely have to watch something, it's not worth it..

Golgo 13 episode 12 is so racist :lol

When trying to find Golgo in the stands, the options to find are White, Black, or Yellow. Wow.

The scanner can find White, Black and Yellow. He's asian so he's yellow.
:lol :lol :lol

Best anime of summer season by a long shot thus far...completely different demographic target than anything out right now, though...so that might be why you think that? /shrug

Anyone watched Genius Party yet? I know it came out last year and I've been secretly waiting for it to cop some subs.. and it looks like someone has finally done it (bar 2 episodes).

Thinking I might create a new thread for it because there is some serious hot stuff in it.

It just feels real episodic to me. Also it seems I'm not a fan of these slice-of-life animes featuring deities. Couldn't get in to Wagaya either :p

:( There are still no subs for Birdy #3.

I just watched a couple of eps of Natsume, and it's not too bad.... Not great, but, watchable. lol

Three episodes in and Kobayashi's "Natsu no Sora" is easily my favorite show of the season. The combination of cartoony, awkwardly timed, animation with saturated photography work creates a wonderful atmosphere that really captures your attention, making the drama and storytelling a whole deal more effective.

And Genius Party was wonderful, the title feature being specially mesmerizing.

Where are the Daughter of 20 Faces Subs? Why does stuff like Strike witches have 5 people subbing it and only 1 group doing Chiko

How do you make Birdy more awesome that it already is? Add Wakamoto! :D

How do you make it even more awesome after that? Have Izubuchi write the next episode! :D :D

Can't wait! ^_^

I like how Wakamoto gets into his roles a lot compared to the majority of VA's out there. Him, Inoue Kazuhiko, and Ootsuka Houchu are probably the 3 VA's I enjoy listening to over the majority of female VA's out there.

I'm sleepy and I may be hearing things but did they not use any of the original voice actors for the new School Rumble? bah.

Excalibur has invaded the official site again.

:(

At least we'll get nothing but straight plot/action for the rest of the season after this episode.

Is Gundam 00 as enjoyable compared to other gundam series and code geass? It got pretty low reviews on animenfo but im interested.
The first half is absolute shit. Far worse then Gundam Seed Destiny. Then it takes a 180 and goes to pretty awesome.

Episode 12 was released today.

Awesome, finally! *watches*

...

I want episode 13, now! Must know what happens next... cliffhanger ending!

Great stuff, though... so many unanswered questions now, that it has raised...

Because many people prefer generic fanservice to actually unique, interesting shows.

It's spelt wrong - it's Wagaya no Oinari-sama (not Oinarai). Try Googling that instead!

In other news, Kaiba ended. It was weird. Good, but weird.

Exploding mind planets! Evil babies! Space ostriches implanted with memories of your mother! A giant mecha in love with a flying squid!
