Support NeoGAF

[Zonic]

Funny thing is, I actually think it was because of some people here on ToonamiGAF that I got into Assassination Classroom in the first place.

& I still wonder if Aniplex has another show lined up or if we'll get another old show to repeat after Gurren Lagann ends. Same for Deadman Wonderland, except switch Aniplex for Funimation.

Edit: AANNNDDD confirmed, Assassination Classroom is part of Funimation's Simulcast next month. No dub at the moment.

 

[daveo42]

Maybe I'll watch it when it starts. Need a new anime anyway since we are nearing the end of Inou Battle and Rage of Bahamut.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Tony Oliver isn't a Funimation guy so don't get too excited.

Neither was Johnny Yong Bosch.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Neither was Johnny Yong Bosch.

Johnny Yong Bosch isn't writing or directing any dubs

As much hope as TLG coming out.

a safer bet is that he's working on Digimon or Durarara. I've also seen someone suggest Ninja Slayer, but who knows?

 

[BassForever]

Digimon simuldub makes the most sense especially with them bringing back the OG cast

 

[BBboy20]

Looks like Funimation is going to have one or two anime each season they simuldub on their subscription service going forward.

As for Toonami, we shouldn't expect anything "new" until:

-Gurren Lagann and Deadman Wonderland end on the same day in March
-when Attack on Titan ends in May
-when Inuyasha ends in June

Edit: Unless they do something unexpected when Jack ends and add in a new show sliding everything else downwards in the line-up

I aks because I wonder if Toonami might ever get the opportunity to to a simulcast for a brand new show again.

Well, nevermind.

I'm not sure we'll see that again unless they help produce a show like they did with Space Dandy.

I think the only reason we got Dandy simulcast is because Watanabe wanted it aired simultaneously since he made it with a western audience in mind.

Durarara might happen, since AS aired the first season a lot a few years back.


Besides that, Nobunagun might be a decent fit for Toonami.

 

[Man God]

DRRR would bring back Andrex and it would be worth it just for that.

Andrex needs to kill 30 million souls first before he can come back from the paradox zone.

The article is on point though. So was the last one about how awful Tuxedo Mask was.

So yeah, I'm pretty crazy.

 

[Crocodile]

I live in CT and I know B-Dubs and Bigkrev live in NY and NJ respectively, perhaps we should plan a weekend trip to your parents restaurant and have a Toonami GAF get together

Shit, I'm in. Hell, I'm always in for good food.

I'll be in the city for the holidays. If you legit want to arrange something let me know.

Dude, of course. It'll be awesome, when are you in town? What are you doing here anyways?

Over 9000!

yes, you may kill me for that

 

[Man God]

Actually for once that is not the right answer!

 

[MetatronM]

So I just decided to pop in the Bebop BD, and I have to say, I'm not a fan of the way they've changed the opening credits.

I'm giffing 2 and 3 of FINAL ACT first thing tomorrow. Then DBZ Kai. Then TTGL, then 3 episodes of Bebop.

Well, at least LOLDSFAN can catch up now.

Typography on the credits is completely different.

In both the Japanese and original dub versions of the credits, the credits were presented each on a single line in numerous different colors (like red if the screen was predominantly red, yellow if that worked best, etc.) using thin fonts.

The new Funimation HD version has all the credits on two lines all in WHITE (except for the last couple, which are black) with big chunky type.

Observe (ignore differences in image quality since they're all from different types of sources, and the new English one is from an indirect picture rather than as a direct screencap like the others, so just look at the text):

Original Japanese (HD version):

Original English dub version:

New English Funi HD version:

It's just a COMPLETELY different look entirely.

I don't like change!

Guess this thread is worth mentioning, considering Akira airs tomorrow night.

I think what caught my attention the most was Justin Timberlake for Kaneda.....& yet still keeping the names Japanese.

 

[Seda]

It was reported last month by Deadline that the cast choices included Robert Pattinson (Twilight), Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man) and James McAvoy (X-Men: Days of Future Past) for Testuo and Garrett Hedlund (TRON: Legacy), Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Days of Future Past), Chris Pine (Horrible Bosses 2), Joaquin Phoenix (Her) and Justin Timberlake (Friends with Benefits) for Kaneda.

ok

 

[daveo42]

ok

I'd be completely fine with seeing either Robert Pattinson or Andrew Garfield blow up on the big screen, but this white-washed cast for the movie is terrible.

 

[Zonic]

I keep forgetting the fact they made a live-action Kite film. Still don't understand why someone thought it'd be a good idea, considering the anime is banned in a few countries and it's not exactly an anime most people remember/seen. Hell, they barely marketed it & I don't even recall them showing it at my theater.

 

[Crocodile]

Knew Akira movie rights were sold but I just assumed they were in perpetual limbo like the live action EVA movie. Are they actually moving forward with that? Did they learn nothing from the Exodus nonsense (amongst other examples)?

Dude, of course. It'll be awesome, when are you in town? What are you doing here anyways?

I was born & raised in NYC so a good portion of my family still lives in the boroughs. Spending Christmas alone a thousand+ miles away alone doesn't sound like the best of times so I swing by for Christmas and New Years. Holidays means there are no students for me to teach and I can still do some work on my research even in NYC. I'll be around starting next week until the week after New Year's.

Okay, I have no clue if I can catch toonami tomorrow (man, these holidays are killing my saturdays, sorry guys!), it all depends if my family goes on a vacation or not...
