Watching this scrub try to take on Gamagoori da GAWD is always a treat.

 

[MetatronM]

Didn't realize Gamagoori was using Scourge Regalia abilities already in episode 1.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Bow to the Goddess.

THE QUEEN

 

[grandjedi6]

Did they name drop the golden mecha crab guy?

 

[That Dude John]

All this light

 

[ckohler]

Salute

 

[Imperial Bishop]

HAIL THE QUEEN!!

 

[SparksterMeta0]

We are all PIGS IN HUMAN CLOTHING!

 

[Man God]

Yuuki ain't dead!

 

[Zonic]

Did they name drop the golden mecha crab guy?

I noticed that as well, it seems like they did. Nice little detail.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Now that I've seen this whole show.

I like Ryuko the most of any character.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

"Swap spit"

lewd

 

[grandjedi6]

The dialogue of episode 1 is by far the best in the series

 

[Man God]

They lost their way.

 

[lazybones18]

buried

 

[Schadenfreude]

Did she say "mugging hos"?

 

[Seda]

 

[grandjedi6]

Love at first sight

 

[Zonic]

Oh god, this dub is still amazing. I think I'd go so far as to say as someone who saw the sub first, I prefer the dub. Bravo, Aniplex.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Mako :3

 

[ckohler]

Mako wins my heart every time.

 

[lazybones18]

oh hi Best Bestie

 

[Schadenfreude]

Mako's VA is on a whole 'nother level. Her delivery is great.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

No glomps for you!

 

[Hellwarden]

Looking at it now, I suspect Trigger may have hemorrhaged a bit too much money into the first episode, and that's why some of the latter episodes are animated poorly when they shouldn't be.

 

[Zonic]

Dear Sentai,

LEARN FROM ANIPLEX ON HOW TO DIRECT A SUB.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Yuuki was reincarnated as an edgy transfer student.

 

[Man God]

Bitch I might have.

 

[Raxus]

Dear Sentai,

LEARN FROM ANIPLEX ON HOW TO DIRECT A SUB.

It baffles me that with Funimation and Aniplex in the mix that a company like Sentai can continue to exist.

I think the one good dub they got (Persona 4) is only good because they have all the VA's from the video games.

 

[Zonic]

Yuuki was reincarnated as an edgy transfer student.

& then Pac-Man in that CGI show, Ghostly Adventures.

I got a kick out of everyone's reactions when they learned that fact.

Just wish it was 12 episodes instead of 24. So many episodes that really didn't need to be there.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Sucker Punch!
It's super effective!

 

[lazybones18]

get rekt bitch

More precisely, Persona was actually dubbed by Bang Zoom, not Sentai's internal studio.

& they couldn't even get the rights for P4 Golden the Animation, which is owned by Aniplex. WHICH THEY DIDN'T EVEN DUB.

But yes, I guess Sentai only really exists for "smaller" anime titles that Funimation &/or Aniplex feel as though wouldn't be worth the cost/would make the money back on dubbing it.

YYYEEEESSSSS, the stair scene as a bumper.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

The bit with the delivery guy on the bike is still funny.

 

[Seda]

Just noting, Alex von David is the name of the ADR Director (and sometime script writer) for Kill la Kill, Sword Art Online, and Blue Exorcist. All great dubs.

Is Pac-Man edgy as well?

 

[Crocodile]

Looking at it now, I suspect Trigger may have hemorrhaged a bit too much money into the first episode, and that's why some of the latter episodes are animated poorly when they shouldn't be.

The issue wasn't money, it was scheduling. For example they finished the last episode only 12 hours before air time. Stuff like that isn't super uncommon in the anime industry but it is unfortunate and the common cause for poorly animated episodes.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

If only Kill La Kill was scheduled alongside Akame Ga Kill.

And then we'd have 2x the

EDGE!

[ckohler]

I think Sentai's problem with dubs is a combination of poor localization/direction and subpar acting on top of shows that aren't particularly well written to begin with.

 

[Hellwarden]

Sentai exists so they can ruin Gatchaman Crowds.

 

[Zonic]

As annoying as their pricing is for DVD/BDs, Aniplex always does a good job on their dubs.

The thing is, they have VAs that've worked with Funimation. They just don't make the most of them like Funimation does.

SAO isn't well written.

SAO has a great dub.

Eh.

The voice acting was spot on but the script didn't help an already shit show. I am mostly pointing out the IRL stuff they abuse all the time.

 

[Seda]

According to ANN, Alex von David did the script adaptation for SAO-I but not SAO-II. edit: Oh but it calls him the ADR writer, not sure if the distinction is useful.

Good points. So, direction appears to be their biggest failure point.
