Of course Sentai is dubbing Monster Monsume. They're the Jiraiya of anime distributors.

I thought that was Funimation with all the pervy shit they license?

I get the opposite impression but I admit I don't have hard numbers.

 

[Raxus]

I recall in one of JesuOtaku's old videos (before she went crazy) she mentioned that Sentai Filmworks had this one really awful director and he worked on Highschool of the Dead. Often getting tone and inflection wrong. I don't recall the name and I'm not sure if the video still exists (Blip purge and all that).

What happened to her. Last I checked he was in the middle of transitioning.

If it matters, I'm pretty sure it was the same director who did the dub for Ghost Stories.

.....which would explain the stupid internet references in HSotD. He worked in "I like turtles" into the dub.

I missed that Jesu Otaku had come out as transgender last I knew he was writing for anime news network. A quick search shows Jacob Chapman is still an associate editor so I assume he stayed true to his word that he was done making video reviews and would stick to his full time gig of writing.

 

[Regiruler]

I have way too many snacks so I'm gonna watch for a few eps at least

 

[Zonic]

I could've sworn they said the OPM promo would air on TV tonight, so guess I'll watch part of the first episode of HxH to see it. Otherwise, since I STILL can't play Zero Time Dilemma, guess I'll try to finish chapter 3 of Tokyo Mirage Sessions tonight.

....it feels really nice to finally have time to play a RPG on consoles again, let alone actually keep at it instead of getting distracted & either not playing it or barely scratching the surface.

 

[ckohler]

I plan on watching the marathon tonight. I haven't got anything better going on.

 

[Mizerman]

Eh, don't really feel the need to watch the marathon.

 

[Hellwarden]

I'll be here for some of the night. Got work tomorrow, so I might turn in early.

 

[BatDan]

I tend not to watch the marathons. This will be no different.
Might stick around for the first two maybe.

I could always check CabooseJr's channel for anything new.

Yep, it's that guy. He also worked on mawaru penguindrum which was a horrible idea on sentai's part :/

 

[Puruzi]

Monster Musume for toonami

 

[Grexeno]

I'll watch half of the first episode so I can see the promo on TV.

 

[Schadenfreude]

So Erika Harlacher (Kurapika's English VA) is cosplaying as Kurapika at AX. She really looks like him too so it's like meeting Kurapika in real life. I hope she never breaks character and just keeps on speaking like Kurapika all day.

BUT THEN SHE SAW THAT SPIDER COSPLAYER FROM A PAGE OR TWO AGO AND ALL HELL BROKE OUT

RIP other cosplayer.

 

[Regiruler]

Monster Musume for toonami

 

[Zonic]

So uh, now that I think about it, would Kurapika have reacted negatively if he saw the Spider Eagle? Or only half as annoyed because it's also part eagle?

Should have stuck to copying from Naruto.

Now that I think about it we still haven't gotten a Naruto Marathon.

 

[Mizerman]

Sasuke: Sharingan Chronicles.

 

[Hellwarden]

You know, with Demarco saying they've been trying to get FLCL season 2 for a while, I'd be surprised if they aren't doing the same for Bleach.

Though I imagine we're (thankfully) approaching that point where it's just not worth animating in Japan.

 

[MetatronM]

Tonight on Toonami, school may be out for summer, but we've got three and a half hours of exams on tap as Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Kurapika set out to become Hunters.

Adult Swim tends to stick with smaller episode runs. 12 new episodes of FLCL (2 seasons of 6), 10 episodes of Samurai Jack. Most Adult Swim show seasons are around this length.

Bleach doesn't really fit that, probably.

edit: lol one of the episode titles is actually "Hisoka is Sneaky".

That episode's title is a pun in Japanese that doesn't translate, so it just sounds dumb.

The Japanese title is Hisoka wa Hisoka.

That's true.

[Dangansona]

Hunter x Hunter promo didn't grab me, but I am still going to give it a shot.

On the other hand I have been watching Parasyte to catch up with yall and that show is pretty good!

 

[Schadenfreude]

So when are we group watching this? We could even do a ToonamiGAF IRL meetup to go see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ygWtIjenoI If you die in the game in real life, you die in real life!!!

That's true.

FUCKING SHIT GODDAMN IT.

So basically "If Dennou Coil Was Shitty and Stupid: The Movie?"

 

[BatDan]

That's true.

... God damn it I actually kind of like the concept.
But since it's Reki Hack-ahara, he found someway to ruin it.

So basically "If Dennou Coil Was Shitty and Stupid: The Movie?"

I'll look that up.

Oh joy...

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

So yeah....No cool moment for HxH this week, but I promise it will appear next week!

 

[skLaFarebear]

Will keep the marathon on in the background while i play SFV.

Probably won't post much tho.

 

[Zonic]

Ah, screw it, think I might watch the marathon after all. My brain needs a rest from solving the rest of Boxboxboy's puzzles.

...if only I could play TMS with off-TV play, then I'd probably play that while watching the marathon.

 

[Regiruler]

Rights reasons aka why the naruto backlog on the site only goes back one episode.

 

[Zonic]

So when would the next marathon be? Labor day weekend? Halloween is on a Monday, so don't think they'd do a marathon for that. Guessing it won't be until Thanksgiving?

 

[Seda]

Labor Day weekend is a definite marathon night. Not sure if they'll do a Halloween marathon though.

 

[BlackGhost]

First time watching HxH tonight

 

[Regiruler]

Seeing a lot of new names tonight.

 

[Zonic]

I think One Punch Man would be on episode 7 by the time Labor Day weekend hits, making it the perfect amount for a marathon.

 

[BatDan]

Was that a new show by the China IL team? Who asked for this?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Seeing a lot of new names tonight.

Wait, who the hell are you?

 

[Zonic]

Just wait until Adult Swim decides to make crossovers.

Mr. Pickles visits China IL!!

 

[Raxus]

Wait, who the hell are you?

He's the funny one.

 

[Zonic]

Wait, they ACTUALLY got Frank Sinatra Jr. to voice this?

......what?

 

[Regiruler]

Wait, who the hell are you?

A question with so many answers.

 

[Crocodile]

Was that a new show by the China IL team? Who asked for this?

I'm not near a TV so I'm not sure what you're talking about (some commercial you just saw I assume) but I liked most episodes of China, IL so I wouldn't be opposed to giving a new show by that team a chance.

 

[Zonic]

Oh yeah, you guys can smile again at the full HxH OP being shown again.
