DVD that came with Princess Mononoke is missing the literal sub track too. Figured they'd just repress the old one and jam it in there, guess not.
Strange. Did they mess with the DVD encoding as well?
When Miramax split from Disney, they took Princess Mononoke with them, as they were the official distributor in the US. It appeared the rights would be lost in legal limbo; fortunately, Disney quietly reacquired those rights a couple years ago, and reissued the DVD, with the blue-and-gold label. This was done with almost no fanfare, and, probably don't even know this release even exists.
which would explain how Disney could have swooped in for the license.If you've been holding off purchasing a copy of Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece Princess Mononoke, you might want to get on that soon. Disney and Echo Bridge, the former distributor of Miramax's library, have confirmed through separate emails that the anime classic is currently unlicensed in the United States.
Akame Ga Kill 20
Wow this is a complete mockery, like even if you only watch the anime you had to be wondering "wait how did we get here" at the start of the episode when it feels like 2-3 episodes worth of content were just skipped over (and they were, more like 9-12's worth). This is another prime example of why filler anime endings are awful. Shura was handled so poorly it was laughable, combined with the handling ofand what's even more bizarre is thatLubba's death.Susanoo is still alive
The first 18.5 episodes of this series are a fantastic adaptation of the manga, after that just stop. I'll suffer though the next 4 episodes just to see how this disaster wraps up, but I'm very disappointed.
Yea I'm not continuing with the anime. It is too radically different than the manga in some awful ways.
Full Metal Panic! - 1 Dub
So I'm picking this up again and starting over from the beginning due to a watchbet I recently made with Corvo (he's watching Fate/Zero).
I put this show on hold back in the day because, I don't know, I guess something about the show didn't really grab me at the time.
I'm starting over with the dub this time to see if a change in voice and language will change that, and I gotta say, it's a lot better than the sub. The English voices are enjoyable to listen to. On the episode itself, the hilarious juxtaposition of a military boy in a high-school life was one thing I remember liking from the little I watched of it before, and the dub certainly made it better. I hope it keeps it up.
I think the biggest "what the **** were they thinking" comes in the form of last episode teased a Najenda vs Esdeath along with Wave vs Susanoo and Leone... and this week they're all just back at the capital like it didn't happen. The one rule this series has always had is when imperial arm users fight someone is going to die... apparently they all just got bored and went home after Borick was killed.
It's hilarous how they butchered Budo character in just one episode, way too much talk for a character like this.
But the worst was Lubbock. How he can't see a regular woman with a knife when his speciality is to mark his torritory, how he spend all his wires to make a place where shura can't move and suddenly can't use those wire to either attack or dodge or even save himself during the fall.
How suddenly his imperial arms stop working ( by breaking no less ) when we know that those weapons don't break easily since they are made of special material . Heck how the heck can lubbock have a limitation on wires ( suddenly no less ) when he was spending all this time with wires protecting the various night raid hideouts ( and still have plenty left for fighting at full strenght)
Don't get me started on syura and his doping drug that came out of nowhere
Filler sucks
I also felt the need to point out more hilariously inept writing on the part of Cross Ange
Salia after having it pointed out to her that nobody has died since Ange took over the Villkiss (the super robot) had to go back and check her logs to realize in all her reports for the past two months every day was "zero casualties zero casualties zero casualties". This is fine and all, except for the fact that Salia's crew only has 7 people in it, why would you need to verify this information?
They managed to make him talk too much.Really doubting the anime can butcher Budo's character when the manga has already seen to it.
Always felt that the doping was a ruse to drop bullat guard and he wasn't actually doped. Imo he just went reckless to trap him ( with the poison ) ..heck the fact nobody used the drug afterwards reinforced that idea to me.The doping drug at least is consistent with the series though, Bulat's former general friend who joined EsDeath used a similar item to power himself up and poison his blood to kill Bulat.
I know that feel bro
Cross Ange 7
Sunrise clearly wanted to make a yuri hentai series about girls who fight dragons in mechs then go back to base to have crazy sex, only instead they were forced to have this plot about a magic continent and norma planning a revolt against magic people. I'd be very interested in seeing the original concept plans of Cross Ange back when it was an h series, for scientific reasons.

bro, Norma life is so rough you can't even remember when the people around you live or die
or something like that

I find the sex part to be wholling underwhelming.
Princess Mononoke
Told myself I'd wait to the BD to finally rewatch it and it was worth it, wonky subs and all. Expected them to be worse but they never seemed to stray too far from the DVD's literal translation track for the most part as I had that playing simultaneously. Donkey piss, Ashitaka sister shit, etc was in but meh, good enough.
Princess mononoke came out on blu ray? And Kiki's?
Where the hell have I been?
yeah Funimation said it's coming out in February.
I already explained the donkey piss part. It was changed for good reason.
You're missing the point.
What point?
GIA: A translator must often choose between adherence to the original source material and making material accessible to a foreign audience. When translating Mononoke, how closely did you adhere to the original Japanese words and sentences, and how much did you diverge to create "natural" sounding dialogue?
Gaiman: Wherever possible I tried to do both, but if given the choice I'd go for something that sounded *right* and worked for a western audience, rather than just a literal translation. After all, one has to take into account what impact the lines are having on a Western audience, and what impact they had on the original Japanese audience.
An example of this might be Jigo's first line. In Japanese it translates as "this soup tastes like water". It's a very insulting thing to say from a very coarse, crude, funny man. We made it "is this soup or donkey piss?", which matched the lip flaps and told you exactly who Jigo was.
The main thing was doing it with respect and with love.
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo - 03
I still think this is just 'okay'. Nothing really makes me feel I need to watch more, and I don't particularly care much for the characters right now.
I will go for a few more episodes due to earlier responses, and hope it'll turn me around.
Cross Ange 7
Sunrise clearly wanted to make a yuri hentai series about girls who fight dragons in mechs then go back to base to have crazy sex, only instead they were forced to have this plot about a magic continent and norma planning a revolt against magic people. I'd be very interested in seeing the original concept plans of Cross Ange back when it was an h series, for scientific reasons.
My favorite part is that Cross Ange is so tangentially related to being about giant robots that basically I think Sunrise just wanted to make an anime about lesbian slaves.
I mean most of the time they just talk about the battles, or the battles are relegated to the very beginning or end of an episode, you know? Like they're just framing devices instead of main events. And although this episode had a big "fight" the moment it no longer mattered to the characters' drama, they ended it in a still of an attack rather than showing us a finishing move. It's shamefully bad.
That feel when your whole science class failed an exam. 0 A's, 0 B's, 1 C, 4 D's and 27 F's I had the second highest score at 66%, fuck me.
I need some anime as soon as I get home.
When the whole class fails that's a sign you should be grading on a curve.
Full Metal Panic! Dub - 2
This dub is making the high-school scenes with Sousuke's military antics soooo much better.
Wait till you get to Fumoffu. FMP dub is fantastic. Funimation is usually really good.
Reminder that everyone who liked the chuuni guy in Trigger's show getting told should watch Aura: Maryuuinkouga Saigo no Tatakai, the one actual good chuunibyou story in existence. Featuring everyone's favorite overexposed seiyuu HanaKana and a Michiru Oshima OST.

I feel I'm wasting my time here as you're obviously not paying attention but the whole matter started with Zac from ANN saying Princess Mononoke had dubtitles with some minor adjustments rather than the literal translation present on the Miramax DVD. I mentioned the donkey piss thing as that's easily the most recognizable liberty that was taken when Neil Gaiman helped adapt the English dub script. The issue's even been brought to Gaiman's attention in the past as seen here:
You chimed in again to remind me you already explained something I've known for years in the most tangential way with how it was a good change despite the post clearly being about the issue with the subtitle track of today's release. I don't give two shits about how you or Gaiman felt about the dub track as it was non-existent to me until it intruded upon the subs this release. But yes, what point could have possibly been made in making posts about the issue a few weeks ago and revisiting it today? Surely none.

Im honestly not sure what you mean by dubtitles. Guess I will have to watch the new release and see what youre referring to. I dont know what a dubtitle is.
