cajunator's room.

See, she's not such a heartless bitch after all. Well, everything seemed to turn out great and Sasahara becomes the new chairman. His first ambition is to start making doujins to sell at the comic fest. Well they have Kugayama's art, so they shouldn't have to worry. Otherwise life goes on in the club.

The end... for now.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Code Geass is just as glorious in dub form as it is subbed.

Here Here.

Though I have only watched some of it subbed. The dub brings the feel of: cheesiness, mama drama, villainous intentions, Table-kun, Pizza Hut commentary and more in a fashion that breathes life into the work!*



*Except for Nunnally

 

[Wheeljack539]

I had to alternate r2 with both sub and dub, I think dub is a bit better than the sub for it...Lelouch's voice was awesome.

Someone on Niconico actually made a vid of the Shinjuku battle that had all the Brittanians speak english (from the dub) while all the Japanese kept their original voices (except for Ohgi and Kallen, who spoke both english and japanese).

The in-show Kujibiki Unbalance is way better than the actual released dvd series.

The in-show Kujibiki Unbalance is a random mishmash of typical anime nonsense designed specifically to appeal to cajun.

THAT'S why you're buying shit on the internet? Because MAYBE someone will rip you off with non-refundable junk? That's the lamest thrill-seeking I have ever heard.

Anyway, this is alright I guess. Not really sure where it's going, but I'll give it a few more episodes.

Well of course. It's meant to be as generic as possible, but it makes me want to watch it.

The series improves over time. Not that it ever becomes great, but it does become more watchable.

It's the theme song they play all the time. It's pretty damn catchy, especially when they randomly say "Unbalance!" in English.

So kawaii~

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

No. In the VN she's only good at fighting and bedroom manner.

"..... Please let me handle it, Shirou. I know how to make a man happy." (that is a direct fucking quote, I just double checked to make sure I had that right).

I don't know what Iskander was talking about. Saber is clearly a take-charge ruler who's willing to go the extra mile in ensuring the happiness of her people.

I envy the Japanese if they have to actively seek to be scammed on online auction sites and retailers.

No its because the in-show character design are way more appealing.

Rozen maiden is ok.
I had fun with it and there is plenty of bizarre stuffand doll on doll violence. It came with a really beatiful velvet art box too.

Honestly it's a really terrible show from start to the finish.

Only reason to watch the show is for Sugintou. She's definitely the best junk in the trunk in that series.

I am scared to sample the Spice and Wolf dub

The Spice and Wolf dub is regarded as a good dub. From what I've seen of the first three episodes, it is. Shame the show itself is boring.

Been about 2 years since they relicenced this and then we don't get the Blu-Ray? I know the Japanese release wasn't grand, but it was at least something better.

Spice and Wold dub is well done on its own, but the Japanese was such a fantastic job it didn't stand up to it.

Cajun's room is much more organized than that. The man needs to display his figures properly and with pride!

It's gettin' hot in here

It's not even a hard to understand lyric.

What the hell?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Though about disguising her gender again, let's remember that the original version of F/SN had a male King Arthur and a female protagonist. If it weren't for Takeuchi we probably would have gotten this instead:

This reminds me that I need to watch Fate/Prototype at some point. The voice cast of the 12-minutes long OVA is hilariously loaded with big names too.

Unfortunate
I found it unique and tasteful enough to be interesting

Actually, "I wanna take my clothes off" is the actual line.

I don't know where you got "So" or "gonna" from.

I said "something something" originally for kicks.

That... yeah, she should have expected that...

Remember, this is what Nintendo thinks of JRPG fans and the like!

What, and you think they're wrong?

I might have to get this...

the legend of yamauchi will never die

Yup!

That's how it starts out. And then it turns into...

Bad stuff.

Bad? Yeah, probably, but I don't know... I'm not obsessed with drills like Japan is (for whatever reason), but it is a somewhat amusing hairstyle, even if it does look fairly ridiculous.

On another note, I wonder if she's like that because she's angry that the girl below outdid her seemingly unbeatable drill hair... I mean, she had this amazing drill hair... and here this Horizon girl manages to have 2.5x more drills, all at least as large as hers. Truly impressive.

She shouldn't be too sad though, I don't remember the Horizon girl below ever having her hair spin like that. That's an impressive skill all its own!

Bad.

Good, you mean! So ridiculous it's entertainingly silly, that is, more accurately.

The class they throw you in when your parents refuse to sign the waiver allowing you to take sex education.

Actually I thought she was a fox girl

So, you were somehow aware of the show before you knew what the title was?

Saw the character before knowing where she was from.

From what little I've watched, life for the average person seems fairly shitty in the Spice and Wolf universe.

There's supposed to be another book about Prototype coming in August. It's pretty interesting to note that Arthur was very different from Arturia, especially in learning that some of his traits were passed onto Archer, or that is

I think smiling was Horo Holo's job in this relationship.

Except worse, because you have to appease capricious gods for a good crop on top of all the other misery.

And then those gods eat you anyway when you stray into the forest.

Spice and Wolf is definitely much more accurately Medieval than most anime, no question. That's one of the best things about it. I do find the constant economics lessons dull, though... that's one of my least favorite subjects. I mean, it's a very good series, but economics...

In defense of the Middle Ages, though, while most peoples' lives weren't that great, it wasn't THAT much worse than the period before, overall, really... I mean, apart for the plagues and such, but 600 years of the thousand years of the Dark and Middle Ages were bubonic plague free. It was only the beginning and end that were bad... anyway though, sure, most people had hard lives, but that's true in much of history. And darnit, castles are cool. The middle ages always were my favorite historical period...

Except worse, because you have to appease capricious gods for a good crop on top of all the other misery.

Hah, true. In the real Middle Ages, they only had to appease the church and their lord (if their lord didn't work for the church, that is), not gods like Holo as well.

Finally! I've been wanting to pick that up for the last several years, but it's been rough finding decent copies/prices.

 

[Jex]

thats how Kino's journey explored "{countries". Kino always just went to one city that represented the way the country operated. It worked out well for that series. Theres really not a better way to do it in a short series.

Well, it's more of a general sci-fi trope really. A number of works commit it, for whatever reason. I personally think it's rather stupid, but there you go.

 

[1stStrike]

Well, that was unexpected lol

Yes.

Eh, sounds like the gods are just an allegory for feudal lords.
