A) Prison School is great. Besides some weird pacing issues at the start and the annoying censorship, the only big flaw of the Prison School anime is that it won't touch the superior second arc.
B) I haven't finished "A World Without Dirty Jookes" but the two biggest issues have probably been that Kajo is all bark and no bite and that Okuma is too much of a wet blanket.
C) Dengeki Bunko looks thoroughly unappealing. I don't see the appeal unless you are WAY into the included properties. It doesn't even seem to have a consistent aesthetic/artstyle.
OH SHIT you're back! Neat. It's been at least several months, did you just come back now or have I just been blind?

Anime can be alright sometimes.
You'd be surprised. It actually plays well and looks nice in motion, but yeah. The character's designs besides Akira and Selvaria are pretty garbage

They have Holo only as an assist ;_;

Do the logical thing.
Talk and lightly flirt with her a ton so she likes you and then one day offhand mention SAO and how you saw it and had these issues with it. If you do it right, she'll slowly conform to your viewpoint without even realizing it.
Dengeki Bunko would be a lot more appealing if it had some Baccano! characters. :|
I doubt she would change her mind.

1) determine if she has some kind of problem/mental trauma
2) invite to harem if she does
3) ignore in favor of other girl

Dengeki Bunko will probably sell more than J-Stars. Thanks to Kiri-God.

It's also probably a better game just based upon footage, the only way Victory Road has it beat is in character roster.
Kirito is like Vergil. He's the comeback character you need late in the round with Leafa assist.
Might. Changes. EVERYTHING.
Buff Selvaria please.

Parasyte trailer just showed on Pre-Flight
the fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk is this dub
Is it bad-funny-good or bad-rage-bad?
I'm guessing that it's not good.

So....the dub is bad, and the show is bad too?
It'll do wonderful on Toonami.
This post was to remind you that both Black Lagoon and Gurren Lagann both pulled in "okay" ratings.

Parasyte is a great manga with a goodish anime adaptation in the maxim. The anime attempted to update the series into a more modern day but kept the writing and characters in the time it was written which lead to some people really not liking it aka oni.
I thought it was really good though it does have warts its not perfect but I had a lot of fun watching it and not on the way I enjoy shlock like AgK or Seraph. Of course with a sentai dub who knows what'll happen.

Reminds me of last semester when a student asked me if I liked SAO, then I went to proclaim that ALfheim Online was the best arc. We had a fun discussion.
To be fair, A LOT of people already watched Gurren Lagann, considering how big it was back when it came out & it's been out for quite some time. Hell, Toonami was my 3rd time watching it & the 2nd time seeing it dubbed. That would most likely explain why it got "okay" ratings.
I haven't read the Parasyte manga, but from what I've heard (& what Bass said), they tried updating some stuff since the original series ran from '88 to '95, so they wanted to modernize the setting, but I think in return, it caused a few problems because they didn't think of how it'd affect the plot, such as cellphones. But again, I need to see how the manga differs from the anime to fully understand how modernizing the setting affected the overall plot.
....or maybe it was just that they didn't update the characters themselves to be more "modern" & we have '90s style characters in a 2014 series.

Should have said something like, "That's a cool wallpaper, where'd you find it?" When it comes to anime in the real world you gotta down play your own interest as you slowly feel out how interested the other person is, she could very well have just seen it and thought it looked cool, could be a rabid fan, or even just a minor one. Finding out someone is interested in anime and trying to talk to them about it is like approaching a hippogriff, gotta do it slowly and cautiously until you know what's what.

Hey guys not gonna be on tomorrow and MAYBE not here for next week either so ill try to watch the SAO finale on my own hope everyone has a good toonami night
Bless the onion, I retweeted it as soon as I saw it.
Cowboy Bebop? I'd also put Trigun and Lupin over it.
Okay, I'll accept that. I did enjoy the first airings of Bebop and Trigun so much that I couldn't sleep. I didn't really care much for Lupin though.
I never would have thought of YYH as underrated. It certainly never got as popular as certain other manga/anime, but I don't know, it's just not a series I ever see people saying "never heard of it" or "it sucks".
Maybe I'm wrong though, I don't pay much attention to what the typical anime fan is watching.

YYH isn't underrated at all. It's sold like 50m volumes.
Less underrated and more handled badly.
Too popular to leave on Saturday nights, so they make it weeknights. Then they decided it was going to be DBZ's replacement on afternoons, so it had to be reedited for that block. Then when it failed there it was pushed to early Saturday mornings to run off the rest of the show.

Migi's voice is the best one in that trailer.
It's.........not AS bad as I was fearing. Migi sounds fine for the most part, & it took a few more line reads, but I think Shinichi is alright as well. Granted, all I can think of is "man, I can't help but wonder how much better it would've been if Funimation got this".
If anything, I think Sentai has a bigger problem with HOW they have the VAs read/deliver their lines rather than the actual voices themselves. They need better directors &/or give better direction to the VAs. I absolutely fear how they're going to handle Shokugeki no Soma, a show all about overreacting to how good food tastes, when it sounds like half the cast of their dubs sound bored or have no idea how they're suppose to inflict their voice for the current situation. Though granted, my only experience with them is Girls Und Panzer, AgK, & now this.
I want to say it's slightly better than AgK's dub based on what we heard (though there's still a few characters I need to hear), but I'll wait & see.

I actually had that thought as well, though I think it's confirmed Shinichi & Takumi have different VAs. Shinichi is voiced by the same guy who voiced the main boy in Grave of the Fireflies.

Wow, that main character's voice is... something.

With that subpar directing, we won't be able to tell the difference between the parasytes and the humans.

No worries breh the voice directing isn't the only thing direction that's subpar in Parasyte

to be fair, the Japanese voice for the lead was weirdly flat, too.
Migi is pretty decent. Hope they still use "Migi"
