...which dub are you watching?

The funimation dub and yes I know its the Japanese one dubbed but it's still cheesy. Reminds me of other dubbed opening like the yuyu hakusho one.

Edit: When I say cheesy it's not a bad thing! Just to be sure I'm not misunderstood

i think it was being asked because This one is cheesy

Cheesy and AMAZING.

I prefer the Funimation dub even to the original. It gets real good.

still no sakamoto?

But that one is even more amazing! Reminds me of my Saturday mornings of when I was younger and watching fox kids!

Fantastic Children 23

The simplistically textured CG that has become more prevalent these past few episodes, though still inconsistently applied, really does not look good. I guess the production ran out of time to keep all the mechanical objects 2D.

While this series has been good about building up slow atmosphere, when events get more heated and immediately intense, such as the midseries climax with Kirchner or the finale happening now, the direction can be a bit sluggish. The repeated cuts between inside and outside the jettisoned section of the spaceship plummeting into the ocean started to make it feel like that longest fall ever in that one episode of Noragami, only without the comedic self-awareness. Lingering on startled faces works in some cases, but in others I really feel like people should be reacting more quickly. Still, Gherta's realization was cathartic, even if it took up less time than I expected in an episode named after her, and it looks like Thoma will be having his next episode.

I gotta get used to it being a god damn Saturday show from now on.

Guess I'll watch ushio and tora and then dark souls the night away. Fuck living in a new town with no plans.

 

[Gvitor]

Titan of the Iron Fortress 02

This is such a beautiful show. The MC saying he'd save them all and laugh from the afterlife that everyone got saved by a kabane was pretty good.

 

[nintendoman58]

So I'm now fully caught up with the My Hero Academia manga.

Current thoughts:

Why must the anime only be 13 episodes.

 

[Narag]

So you buy the manga and read the rest of the story.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

I didn't do it for jojo and im not doing it now.

 

[Gvitor]

Because there's apparently not enough anime in this season...

Ping-Pong 01

This is the greatest thing I've ever watched.

The manga is less than two years old.

Fantastic Children 24

Wait a second.

Spoiler

You can't have young Soran look and sound exactly like Thoma, and then turn around and say that Thoma's actually the reincarnation of Seth. That's just being deliberately deceptive!

But man, the universe in Fantastic Children sure is cruel.

Spoiler

First Seth watches Tina suffer and ignore him on Greecia, then he's brought back as Thoma on Earth just so he can watch her suffer and ignore him all over again. What a life!

They could have at least made it 2-cour to end it with the sports festival arc!

So, RightStuf's new e-mail revealed what their best-selling anime has been so far this year!

Some of these aren't really surprising (Eva, Death Note). Others are a little more; I'm definitely surprised that Zeta Gundam is doing so well! Judging by the upcoming ZZ BDs, it seems as though Sunrise and RightStuf's releases of the series have been successful enough to get other big entries on BD.

Another surprise for me is Higurashi, since it did very poorly for both Geneon and Funimation when it originally released (in both volumes and the complete series edition). Not sure what happened there.

I certainly can't complain about Gundam doing well, although Zeta wouldn't be a priority purchase for me right now. Higurashi is presumably a case of accumulated demand. That said, this is likely one of those sales rankings where the gap between positions is rather significant.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

They could have at least made it 2-cour to end it with the sports festival arc!

The Nichigo timeslot My Hero Academia is running on is in a bind right now since Iron-Blooded Orphans needs to come back on it in the fall, and the TBS producers must have also wanted to get in some Arslan and Seven Deadly Sins before that happened. As it turns out, My Hero Academia is shaping up to be possibly the lowest rated show ever to air in the timeslot, so TBS won't have much motivation to fund more of it.

 

[nintendoman58]

Thankfully smarter plans were made.

I don't know.

Spoiler

Deku's fight with Todoroki in the tournament IMO would have been a much better way to end the first season than the Villain Invasion arc.

I think it'd be a much more hype way to leave things off before taking a break for season 2.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

The better solution would have been to wait longer to animate the series, Even if it were two cour, we'd have to wait at least two anime seasons to even get to the current manga arc.

Ladies Versus Butlers' performance must explain why Media Blasters is still hanging around, and why they're releasing more titles on BD lately.

I guess people that complain about aniplex prices end up buying the animes anyways.

I refuse to believe that MHA will not get a second season sooner or later given how popular the manga is.

Shokugeki no Soma did horribly and that's getting a season 2 this summer!

Maybe it was ranked by revenue and the dozen aniplex sales was enough to place.

Shueisha might have motivation to fund more My Hero Academia anime if they think it will further promote the manga and help their bottom line. In that case, they may end up finding a late night timeslot to air it in instead.

forcibly be with him at all times and develop feelings for him, while staying a yandere

ahaha. Oh man this is so bad. So, so bad ahaha.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I wish we knew how Shueisha thinks, because Kingdom deserves its 3rd anime season, Bleach needs its continuation, Tokyo Ghoul needs its third anime, and Saiki Kusuo needs its anime

So china brings out their B.O.W. and instantly raises the killcount multiplier by 2X. SSSensational!

Also, mhmm this ED. Woof

There's a reason Aniplex of America is still in business; their products sell! I'm sure the people who complain about their prices make good on their promises and don't buy their products, but in the end they simply don't matter. Aniplex produces a lot of popular stuff both in Japan and overseas, and the big fans of those works buy them up regardless of price.

Big Order 2

this is like not nearly as entertaining as that diary show but I'm still watching it because it's not bad enough to drop.... so far

 

[Grexeno]

Thankfully smarter plans were made.

No, their hand was forced due to timeslot issues.

Only people who haven't read the manga say they couldn't have made a 2-cour show, and they're always wrong. They would have if Arslan and Gunam weren't there first.

[Principate]

Bleach will probably need to finish before it gets a continuation. I mean it's sales haven't been great for a while Kubo's chapter pacing is the reason why the anime got into the mess it's in, probably want to ensure they won't be catching up with Kubo. this is all assuming they can even be bothered continuing the anime.

As I understand it this isn't going to be the only season of MHA.

 

[Grexeno]

As I understand it this isn't going to be the only season of MHA.

In all likelihood it won't be, but I'm saying that there is certainly enough manga content for it to have had a 2-cour first season.

 

[Narag]

Should've just went anime original after they ran out of material.

Fantastic Children 25

I had to laugh when Cooks stormed in, did the whole "Hands up, I'm a detective!" routine, and then got unceremoniously shoved aside like the clueless guy he is. Seems like his only purpose for being there was to get a gun into Dumas' hands.

They need to treat my series better. So far Ive still only have three anime from them (BLue Exorcist, DRRR, and P3M), meanwhile the stuff Id buy if they released them in quality I want continues to grow

-BLast of Tempest - released as sub only dvd only ;/
-Mekaku City Actors - streaming only
-Day Break Illusion - streaming only
-Mahouka Koukou - sub only BD
-Valvrave - sub only


I can only pray God Eater is released. Charlotte too and Gunslinger Stratos.

I'm kind of surprised everyone isnt like aniplex now given how its turned into a collectors market and everything being streamed.

That's kinda how I see the people who shit on the PONYCAN.US releases too. It's clear that there's a dedicated group that will pay $10+ an episode on bluray.

Tsubasa Chronicle ep.1

So I picked a random show off my "Plan to watch" list and this one hot pulled. I know absolutely nothing about it, but that was an interesting opening episode to start a season off with. They give you a little background info and boom, right into it... The immediate plot brought me right to Tales of Hearts/ Symphonia, but we'll see what happens. Does anyone know what to expect with this one? Is it any good?
