Here's hoping Funi announces a Broadcast Dub of Dragon Ball Super. I really didn't want to have to sit through Grandma Goku.

they only simuldubbed like half of their last batch. (though more of them might have been added later and I missed it)
I think in general they only have the ability to dub like 10 shows at once (including the ones they are doing for dvd release) so I wouldn't expect much more than 5 show for simuldub.
see, after thinking about it if they don't announce a simuldub for db super I will likely just watch the series without sound... perhaps with rock the dragon playing on repeat while watching the show lol.
I agree with you that that's what they're going for. But I think that element comes across in a really clumsy way because it's just used as a brute-force solution.
In any scene where the characters are holding conversations with these shadow-people (who talk and emote just as they would if they were real), there's a really strong sense of dissonance for us as viewers. They're presented fully in scene, like the teacher in my last screenshot, yet we're being denied visual information. This feels very different from similar choices, like the ideogram crowds in Penguindrum, or even the color silhouettes in #FE, traits applied to non-speaking characters. If this was meant to show Kobayashi's disinterest in those characters, wouldn't it be just as effective to keep them out of frame when they talk?
The mystery is also being badly handled. For an adaptation of a classic formal mystery series, it seems bizarre that the first episode delivers a mystery premise without delivering any suspects. There's nothing to guess at yet because it's so busy delivering exposition about the setting that the mystery itself gets shunted aside.
Everything comes across flat to me.
I don't mind the double dip, but my first dip was too soon ago to go again, haha. I will grab them eventually. Utena is worth it.
I really might have to buy that. Ive heard nothing but good things about FMA before.
I like the original FMA a lot, but I think the ending is terrible. The manga (Brotherhood) ending isn't much better, but I think that series felt more complete overall.
Trailers are up.

This isnt DVDs though. Should be plenty of room for 9 episodes per.
To be fair, I think the base version is $50 but you know how people are with CEs. They'll spend extra for the dumbest of shit.

The fuck is in a CE that could boost it by $200?

Spaceships that use grappler arms to fire pistols, and use a wide range of hand-to-hand combat weapons to fight each other? This is glorious. Your ships machine gun got destroyed? WHIP OUT A SWORD

still, it seems like funimation is trying to capitalize on the success that aniplex and pony canyon are having without the things that actually make their releases good.

Your Lie in April 19-20 [REWATCH]
All the chips are on the table... so to speak...
I know there are some who do not like Tsubaki but I have always sympathized with her. I think she is a strong character and person. Everyone now knows what's at stake here.
And now... The final two episodes.

For reference, here is the FMA BD-Box as Aniplex released it in Japan:
http://www.hagaren.jp/bluraybox/
Virtually no physical bonuses or extras besides the 56-page book and the art on the box/disc cases.
Currently selling for about 28,000 yen (~US$225).

Ranpo Kitan - Game of Laplace 1
I stopped watching when the show introduced the new homeroom teacher with the obnoxiously cutesy way of speaking and dressing that's clearly derived from some twisted otaku fantasies. Even in a light-hearted work I would find this character annoying but in what is ostensibly a serious murder mystery this is beyond the pale.

I'm so glad that Shokugeki no Soma has 24 episodes, it's awesome. Definitely the best ecchi cooking show, It's close to perfect
Last episode was awesome, It's just wonderful to see cool scenes like Soma's cooking, even the comedy is really good.
Shokugeki was one of the best shows this spring and it's probably going to be at the top this summer.
If you aren't already following this show, watch it right now. It's worth it.

so it seems toei commissioned eng dubs of the first few episodes of world trigger even though no company has picked up the rights to do so lol
I can't blame anyone for not wanting to pick it up since the animated manga crunchyroll sometimes releases has more animation than world trigger did

Literally everything major they picked up last season got simuldubbed, some came later then others but they did simuldub everything the licensed that wasn't a long runner but OP and FT they're dubbing older stuff first

TOEI has been making very curious moves for awhile now.
yeah I missed a few of those (they likely didn't start those until they finished up some of the others)
I'm still going to doubt there will be a super dubcast though as I imagine toonami will want to make sure they air it first and won't allow funimation to release it on their website.

Nope, they were doing all of those at the same time, or at least they were releasing them at the same time
From their old news post
http://www.funimation.com/blog/2015/05/13/announcement-broadcast-dub-line-up-for-spring-2015/
Phase 1
High School DxD BorN (Saturdays at 1:00 pm ET, beginning May 2)
Assassination Classroom (Wednesdays at 8:00 pm ET, beginning May 13)
Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign (Wednesdays at 8:30 pm ET, beginning May 13)
Blood Blockade Battlefront (Wednesdays at 9:00 pm ET, beginning May 13)
Ninja Slayer (Thursdays at 10:00 am ET, beginning May 21)
Phase 2
The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan (Fridays at 2:10 pm ET, date TBA) [later became 5/29 start date]
Ultimate Otaku Teacher (Saturdays at 7:00 am ET, date TBA)
The Heroic Legend of Arslan (Sundays at 5:00 am ET, date TBA)
Show by Rock!! (Sundays at 9:00 am ET, date TBA)
The others started their simuldubs the second week of June (can't find the exact dates)
So maybe they've finished dubbing some of them already, but in terms of release they're releasing all of them at the same time and none of their simuldub spring premiers are close to ending
Mikagura School Suite (Tuesdays at 4:35 pm ET, date TBA)
Also Toonami is not the only person interested in airing DBS, the bigger question is will Funimation offer the show to the highest bidder in which case AS has no chance.

Nooooooo... Nozomi getting Tamayura is such a double edged sword. Unless they changed their minds on BD?
Ah, they're doing Utena on BD. Hrrrrrrm.
They only announced Utena and the Original Gundam on Bluray today. I would guess the other shows are DVD only.
they're releasing utena and gundam stuff on BD but it seems like these new licenses aren't getting BD
I was strictly talking about dubbing them at the same time. I have heard from a number of funimation voice actors that they can't handle more than like 10 shows at the same time for dubbing (they just don't have enough equipment to), that being said they could do the entire dub to the first wave shows, and then once those aren't needing a studio spot anymore start dubbing the second wave stuff and just slowly release the first wave stuff.
funimation will likely offer the show to the highest bidder, but as far as I know there is only really two channels though would likely want it disney xd and cartoon network. While nick was a player it became more and more clear during the korra years that they wanted to shift away from shows aimed at an older demographic and aim for cheap shows aimed at kids.

Yeah, even their trailer has ugly DVD styled subtitles on it.
Oh well, I guess I'll buy it anyway since what can you do.
Figures that they own the licenses to the two shows I would want on BD but will never see. lol
North American Funimation announced at its Anime Expo panel on Friday that it will stream the Venus Project: Climax anime series as it airs in Japan. Funimation also acknowledged that it will stream the Chaos Dragon television anime series, after its website briefly the anime.
and with that there is no slot for super anymore.

These DreAca thing annoy me at first but I'm warming up to them, mainly to how seem obnoxious Seira at first and I'm supposed to believe her is Ichigo equal so suddenly, luckily they handling it very tastefully with making the main cast give no damn about rivalry which is very clever and in-character, Starlight is da bes.
some highlight episode for this first half of S2 :
Sora's backstory episode
Her character is kinda bland, but man her backstory is goddamn ace.. the bult-up motivation for character in the story is very believable and quite touching.
Aoi Episode
Confirmation Aoi is Goddamn Batman
And once again an sight of clever writing with brief flashback
f is adding a lot for Aoi character and even for Otome. this eps also have a lot OTP moment dawwwwwwwwww
So after all that, can we talk how big of egomaniac Mizuki is? LOL

She building up return for 2 year to showing how she still da best, ridiculous
Now that they're open to releasing BDs, I'm sure if certain shows perform well they can get a BD release later on!
I do believe this is the best part and what Im looking forward to!
It is something that should have been jettisoned into magma.

I wonder what this means for Aria then, if anything. lol
I'm still planning on buying the JP sets, but I'd feel like a dumbass if they announced the BDs right after a thousand bucks is removed from my account.
It means there's a chance. Might be in a few years, but it could happen!
I didn't get that feeling, i mean there is still quite a bit of stuff to cover in the next episode before we even have to think about getting to that arc.
i mean it's not impossible, that arc won't be super important until season two of soma.

Magician's Academy ep. 6-9:
This seriously must be the most eclectic and weird anime I have ever watched. I don't think there is a plot at all and the episides change from crazy moe comedy, to romantic dating scenes with cute moe characters, to harem maddness, to rampaging teachers and demons/angels visiting the school. Eno is definitely a Cajun approved character though... (see maid above)
Almost done, but this show is still weird as hell, but fun...

But as always the packaging is a million times better and for people like myself its worth it for that alone!
It's from the Kiniro Mosaic mangaka.
Mizuki is scum.
