It's Doug Smith. He's done...basically nothing anime-wise besides this and few minor roles.
And, yeah, episode 5 is basically porn, so get ready for that.
One of the greatest dub scenes of all time:
so good

If only there was some way of making gifs have sound... I'd actually saw this scene before on Youtube, which was how I heard about the show in the first place, but it really didn't lessen the impact of it when I actually watched it.

I just watched the first two episodes last night in bed. It was hard for me to stop after just two, even though it was 3 AM. This show is simply blowing me away. Please please please don't go down in quality. My last three anime have let me down big time. But this show? It's quality is so damn good I feel like I'm watching a movie.....can't wait to dig in more tonight.

This just in, racism!! Thanks Momoko!
5 exams down. We have one left.

Majo Reed "hates" the japanese for beating around the bush, but she still loves the sweets and culture considering there's a heavy japanese theme in her experiments and the village in general.
Man, when Doremi crashed into her, that was nightmare fuel right there. Turns out that there's a bit of irony here!

You have nothing to worry about as this series is fantastic from beginning to end.

It's definitely not a good sign, yeah, but most of the time none of them actually make any progress in their would-be relationships with Ichika the world's densest guy, so it's not as bad as it would be otherwise... or in any series actually trying for any kind of realism. IS S2 may be different from S1, but it's definitely not more sane.
Still, each one still does have at least a few distinguishing characteristics left... less than S1, yes, but they're not ALL gone.
I guess that is true, sure. I mean, IS characters have made dramatic character changes with no explanation before, so why not ignore major events too, right? But still, they should have done SOMETHING, even just an excuse about why it doesn't matter... just like, yes, they shouldn't have left Britain's falling in love with Ichika between one scene and the next completely unexplained. (On that note the two IS mangas both give different explanations for why Britain falls in love with Ichika. Both are incredibly stupid sexist junk, unsurprisingly.)
However though...
I do think it's possible that it wasn't entirely forgotten; remember, the kiss never happened. It's possible that this season could end on a similar note. If you want to emphasize that Houki is the likely winner girl without having an ending that involves actual relationship progress, that'd be the thing to do.

It stimulates me, that's for sure.
Space Dandy reveals it's going to be broadcast in North America on Cartoon Network and in Asia on Animax Asia!

Koko is a bitch and not in the Taiga way. I also can't wait for the amnesia plot to kick in when his old self returns and doesn't recognize Koko.
Wait do you mean simulcast on Cartoon Network or just airing?

I really do like how we see characters that are just not on the team but do play some role with the team. And we get some focus on them too!

Space Dandy is the real anime saviour.
Kill la Kill 4
Pure and fun madness. It may have had little to do with world-building or plot, but even an episode like this is still very entertaining. It's just so unconventional, energetic, random and crazy. Every time things look like it's about to dial down, Mako keeps it going. I can't imagine how the show would turn out if Mako wasn't around.

Can't imagine it not being dubbed. Maybe they've wrapped up production on it already - wouldn't be the first time for Bones.
Pretty certain they don't do subs.
That have expressly stated that they will not air subs as it is ratings posion.
It would really be impressive if they can get it dubbed this close to air. Either they finished up awhile ago and sent it out quietly to a dub production studio (which is impressive nobody squealed) or the dub turn around is very quick.
Has this ever, and I mean ever, been done before?

The sound direction in this show is quite good. I attribute that to three main reasons.
1) The recording of detailed sound effects to match the character's actions, more than just your typical clothing rustle. This was especially noticeable in the opening scene with Kitahara and Takuya in the practice room, in which you could tell the staff recorded someone actually sitting down on the chair, opening up a guitar case, plugging in an amp, and so on. These effects give aural weight to the characters' actions, helping to create a believable fictional world.
2) Attention to how voices are recorded. This can be seen best in the scene in Setsuna's bedroom, where you have use of stereo in some moments to indicate character positioning, and a realistic portrayal of voices behind a closed door - they aren't just softer, they're muffled in the appropriate manner.
3) Careful timing of the soundtrack. This is important in a music-focused anime, and the selection and use of the classical piano music and pop songs has been good, but this also extends to the normal soundtrack. For instance, when Setsuna quiets Kitahara and Touma, the track which had been accompanying their lively discussion fades out as Setsuna strains her ears to listen to the whispering going on behind her door. I like that it doesn't just stop, but the (inconclusive) ending chord is moved into a echoing resonance and gradually faded out. Along with the fading to black done between scenes to indicate the passage of time, it suits the soft atmosphere of the show. I think the soundtrack is taken from the game, so I'm glad it's being used in a way appropriate for anime, unlike, say, the awkward use of Meguro's soundtrack in Persona 4.
This is the kind of sound direction that greatly assists in me becoming immersed in a show.

Well the Cowboy Bebop dub is amazing. So maybe this will be as well?
It'd explain the rumored Fall airing, at least. And assuming it did wrap up, they basically had four, five months to get it done.
Each episode of Kurokami aired on TV in Japanese, English and Korean within the span of 24 hours, from what I remember.
I'm so used to shitty production scheduling that this would be pretty impressive. Not to mention they could have used that extra time polishing everything as well.
Premiere airing and dubbed?
Well, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust was dubbed in English before it was in Japanese, but that was a movie.
based bones
at least that work went into something potentially good this time, not . . . Heroman.

And gender something. I had the word in my head for this... gender... gender...
shit. Something that goes with "girls don't understand model planes" or something. Gender.... something. Shit. Seems relevant either way.
Profiling?

Yup - the Japanese BDs even had all three language tracks on them.
Welp. Still very impressive for any anime studio these days. Maybe being 13 episodes has some advantages.

How quick was the turnaround on IGPX? I mean, CN/Toonami had a direct hand in it's creation so I think that'd be a good metric of comparison.

bad gameplay lol
You know, I'm really enjoying Golden Time, but I will drop it like a fucking ROCK if that happens (maybe). I'm pretty sure amnesia doesn't work like that, yet some of Tada's comments in this episode make it seem like that might be what's going to happen.
Also, I thought Koko was a huge bitch at first, too, when she
went on that huge rant directed at poor Chinami
went off on her
"realization"
certainly she should have realized long before FUCKING COLLEGE that he didn't like her in that way (though to be fair she says this herself, in a way)

I will say, if nothing else, the first episode that they made was decent.
Better than JJTrek, etc.
In a perfect world Brain's Base would be working on it with Studio Pablo handling the backgrounds.
In a perfect world people would stop trying to keep the zombie corpse of Manglobe alive.

I have to say Nagisa's family is hilarious whenever they're on screen, dad is passionate in everything. And it looks like we are getting into Kotomi's arc,

that first violin scene was hilarious and I like how Kyou and Ryou are getting some screentime. Still miss best girl Fuko.
Apparently it's a Manglobe original concept though, so it looks like they developed it and got Omori on-board.
Multiple people are citing this article about Space Dandy, which outright states it'll be an English dub and that Funimation has the license.
Duckroll added some notes to that in the other thread.

Looks like they are trying to launch Space Dandy all across the world at the same time.
