You know that's a Clannad reference right? Dango Family reference in particular.

I'm trying to decide between which one I get first: Bravely Default, Rune Factory 4, Link Between Worlds, or Fire Emblem Awakening

This seems like an impossible decision.
 
The good thing about the title change is that it got me to check out Sakamoto desu ga?, which indeed is quite fabulous. I don't know if it would work well as anime though, since a lot of it is driven by elaborate character art that likely wouldn't translate.

Fire Emblem Awakening imo. So many waifus, so little time.

And some good :sdburton to boot too!

In Fire Emblem you can be the Miyukichi or if you REALLY need to waifu someone your daughter will be the Miyukichi.

If there was a Swagamoto anime. I want Takehito Koyasu to voice swagamoto.

All the games are good but in terms of order, I'd probably say get it in almost the exact order you have it listed, with Zelda being last. I'm listing it from Rare to Common availability.

I mean, yes, there's eShop, but I'm assuming that you want physical.

Gintama 2

He changed by changing his misfortune into fortune in combat. What a boss. Will Odd Jobs ever get any money?

Anyway, to continue my earlier complaints about typesetting, on one hand you have this...

...formatted carefully with font, color, and placement to match the existing title. And that's when they even bother to typeset the title, which is something I think is unnecessary in the first place.

And on the other hand you have this lazy garbage:

Can you really blame me for despairing whenever Funi picks up a series I like for simulcasting?

Maken-ki ( two ) - 02

Well , well
A memory loss episode.

This was kinda good , i hint of plot , several nice comic moments a a good chunk of role reversing from season 1.

This clothe disapearing tech was actually quite nice , but it's inferior to the kind of disapearing clothes , lala in toloveru

Toss up between Fire Emblem Awakening and Link Between Worlds.

LBW was my GoTY for 2013 but I'm playing through Fire Emblem Awakening and the waifu simulation gameplay is amazing.

I dont really understand the concern over something as minor as the type chosen for the font of the title. They bring us the anime simulcasted and even at times with a home release promised, and then people still have the audacity to find something so minor to complain about is really just baffling and bizarre. I could see if it was something with translation and etc, but something like the colour, font size, and etc of the title?

It would definitely not work as well as an anime. Those sudden spreads with blinding light and shoujo-style fabulousness only have that kind of impact in manga form, lol.

Just give it to SHAFT then :3
 
Recently, I thought my sister was a part of a lesbian cosplay couple.....and I'm relatively okay with it 6

What an imagination he's got.

lol at the MGS segment.

Would have been perfect if he yelled out his name at the end.

Fine, font and color are slightly more minor grievances, but what it all does (for me at least) is work to blend in the typeset translation more naturally with the scene and makes it less distracting. Not to say that every typeset TL from Crunchyroll is perfect, but they're sure a lot better on average than Funi. And just licensing the show doesn't automatically give them a free pass against any kind of complaints, especially when their competition is providing what I view as a superior service (well, except for the recent uptick in delays).

Am I really alone in this?
 
Gintama 3

So... we hit the rewind button in order to give us "back story" for the characters introduced in the two part special? Kind of like Berserk giving us the Golden Age arc after its initial chapters to fill out the shit that happened to Guts... but probably not as long?

Anywho, looks to be where it also got the mottos it was spouting out in the special.

The first two episodes were an anime-original story that threw in most of the characters all at once. From the third episode on, Gintama adapts the manga proper.

Bakemonogatari 2

Ooh, good episode. Started off goofy (and lewd :p) and then got daaark.
Cult. Attempted rape. Stabbing. Family problems. Friendship! I liked how the weight ended up being more symbolic and how Arararararararagi ended up taking it on.

Inari, Kon Kon, Koi Iroha - 03



I support this ship. The chemistry is there, and unf unf Uka-sama will have his heart in no time.

I dont see any yuri here. Im confused.

URUSAI! URUSAI! URUSAI!

please no :(

I can't believe how fucking shameless this is. This is so terrible!

precure was born to peddle plastic and other stuff shamelessly. Its no different here.

Oh, you did not just say that.

Correct Dogakobo ranking:

Mikakunin > YuruYuri > Love Lab > GJ-bu.

And I quite liked GJ-bu.


Space Dandy 6

Ahahah, I thought this was an all right episode overall, nothing particularly special, but that ending was glorious.

Not a bad show in those 4. Hopefully gjbu gets licensed.

The whole mating season addition really elevated that episode.
 
Speaking of Gintama, I'm going to be so sad if Kondo's alien suit never shows up again. The best. Kondo is the best.

Sorry to disappoint you but it never appears again. Another very cute character appears in an alien outfit though, don't remember when. Might've happened already.

Either ways Kondo continues to be amazing in different settings and different outfits so have no worries.

I like how the both of you fucked up the Quoting in the exact same way. Wow.

Thank goodness for edits!

Other than that, I guess I grasp everything I needed to know for Gintama then.

NeoGaffing is hard mang.

Inari, Kon Kon, Koi Iroha - 04



Legitimate :sdburton and firehawk12 was complaining?! Get outta here! :p

Definitely one of my favorite shows from this season, so good I even ship vanilla pairings.

Ive seen a very similar scene posted before. It was two tanned girls who looked nearly identical doing this same thing. Any idea who those were and what show?

HaCha ended up being shit so I told Dresden to change it to whatever he wanted. Why waste a perfectly good thread title?

I thought you loved it?
 
Gintama 4-5

Well, they're actually introducing them fairly quickly. Neat. And some back story to the Adrian Wars!

Subs seem to be better in episode 5, or at least they stuck out more thanks to the outlines. If it stays like this, then I can definitely deal with this until the change.

I started to watch this with my friend. We're up to episode... 18 or so? And subs haven't bothered us besides a glaring typo every now and then.

Oh crap, you're binging on this now? Try to keep tabs on how many episodes you watch a day pls.
 
GaoGaiGar - 10

So in this episode we learn that Guy carries his armor around a la Iron Man in a massive suitcase.

Why is it that when the people see one of the four generals or whoever, their first instinct is not to turn tail and get the hell away?

LOL. Hana's freaking out while Mamoru's been through so much of this shit he's all: "adults are so troublesome".

So now we've got an AI submarine autobot thrown into the mix. Neat.

I started, but I'm not exactly activating binge mode yet. And considering Bravely Default is coming this week, I'm probably only going to binge up until it's in my hands. And then we'll just have a 20 ep a day dealio.

Sure, the coloring and font are nice, but for some viewers the similar colors may blend into the original Japanese text making it more difficult to read. This is just an assumption as I too prefer unique typesetting.

What I do not like is any typesetting straight over the Japanese text. I may not be able to read Japanese yet, but I would at least like to be able to see it.
