Maybe I will find it funny tho, its anything like Okabe and Kurisu from Steins; Gate antics? (If you know anything about it)
Shame to know its guilty pleasure at best.
I dunno, I'm sure someone out there will enjoy this. It's not really poorly made. It's just seriously not for me, so I'm not going to waste anymore time on it. This season is too packed to be hatewatching stuff. Lol.

Either is fine. Baccano is one of the few anime that I would say actually benefits from an English dub, as it fits the American setting and isn't bad acting-wise.

You say that now...

I really like the dub since its set in America so it makes far more sense for people to be speaking with period appropriate accents. Both are great though.

Looks great. And that's probably only the first 2 episodes or so. Really excited.
I've watched it both ways, and I think each version has some very strong positives and few negatives... You really can't go wrong with either, I would give the dub the nod here, as I think the effort put into getting actors with appropriate accents really lends itself to the setting of the show, and the few shaky voices aren't enough to outweigh the otherwise good voicework.

Long running doesn't necessarily imply drawn out. Remember, this is a series about going into space with hints of an even greater plot that may or may not involve aliens. That shit takes time.

I really don't think Space Brothers is going to pull out aliens.

I've never watched it in the dub but I feel like it only takes a single bad actor to break immersion for me, which is why I steel clear of such ventures.
Well, they kind of already did
with that huge whale.
But, in all seriousness, I really hope they don't take that route.

Planetes had also aliens and it was great!

HUm ..very average
they kept all their money for the animation during the episodes, right ?
RIGHT ?
Yea I was planning on watching that this weekend. Thanks for the spoiler.
Not that I care much.

well, it's not really a spoiler if it was never a secret in the first place.
and manga only

The difference here is that the focus of attention remains the centre. The Batshit Insane Chick keeps on flickering side to side so it's even more disorienting.
Thats bad, even by their own standards.

I disagree with the Nichijou comparison. The edits there are nowhere nearly as fast. You can actually follow the action because the flow of the camera follows one single path during most of the jumps.

I wouldn't call it average. Average OP's don't make people feel physically sick.

The last time I felt this nauseous watching something was during episode 3 of Bakemonogatari with the pain-inducing quick camera cuts during the sex talk between Senjougahara and Ararararararararararagi.

Yeah, it probably won't, at least not our idea of aliens, but the journey there will be what's important, even if that journey mostly consists of totally grounded stuff.

Wouldnt Funi want to dub that and show it (did they do that with FMA Star of Milos?).
For movies, JPN should consider trying to simuldub and release like the games industry tries to do for anime games and some JRPGs.
I wonder if the difference in scale between the anime and the gaming industries in the US would make one more feasible than the other.
I don't know if anyone else already said this, but reading over CR's announcement for Magi, it seems to imply that it'll be free for everyone immediately upon streaming, since it reads "Magi: the Labyrinth of Magic will broadcast every Wednesday starting on October 10, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time for both premium and free members!" without the usual "one week later" notice for free members. Maybe it has something to do with the AOD simulcast being free?
Of course, I could be reading too much into it.

School Days 2
MC goes after the most boring girl in the universe while he friendzones the better alternative. Gee that sure is original. While we're on the originality boat they watch a film that is remarkably similar to their situation. Oh boy, this couldn't possibly be a bit of foreshadowing.
On a positive note at least they didn't drag the storyline over to episode 3 and wrapped it all up at the end.

The things I would do for that.
My local theatre did a one night show of the subbed 2.0
Here's the official Aniplex USA site for Magi. Not a whole lot there right now though.

That wasn't bad. I guess.
Kinda dropping the whole MMO part kinda made it more enjoyable so I guess they shouldn't bother with their subpar action anymore.

I don't get this new Hayate the Combat Butler show at all.
There's nothing there for anyone who isn't already a fan of the franchise. For those who are, this isn't a particularly funny take on it - most of the gags are thinly spread, incredibly laboured and come across really flat, but they don't really provide enough of anything else to counterbalance the lack of humour. Honestly, it bored me - and I like Hayate as a franchise!
They try a few cute things structurally that may or may not prove interesting by the shows conclusion, but I'm not really sure I'm going to have the patience to see how it pans out.

Yeah, I love the Baccano! dub. Heavy Brooklyn accents and cheesy '30s pulp dialogue just feels so right for the show.
I don't think most of them were bad, but you can judge for yourself.

You're doing this way too slowly.
Please for your and our enjoyment don't read anything in this thread until you've finished it.I will probably watch this. I've been reading the manga lately, and I'm been enjoying it. My disenchantment with Bleach left me, for better or worse, with a void to fill. And this serves to scratch a (somewhat) similar itch.
In relation to the manga, what was the first series like?
Keep going!
Crunchyroll also added Girls Und Panzer.

Wednesdays at 8pm PDT, so about a two and a half day delay.

I actually like Bryan Massey's portrayal of Ladd even better than Keiji Fujiwara. Crazy I know! He was equal parts terrifying, insane, and hilarious.
Hurry! Ep 14 this weekend!
