Well, the funny thing about it is that the movie has already been dubbed - in the US - for the English theatrical release. I'm kind of curious if they are going to completely redub it again with Funi talent, or if they are just switching out the songs...

Also good to see the Clannad avatar return!!!
Nice...
Another one joins the fold. Hyouka is great and needs a NA Blu-ray release. *cries*
Opinions.
They must really want to try pushing this for a wider market than your average anime movie they put in theaters.
Finally, I can go watch this on the big screen like it should be.
Well, for me personally, I generally like adapted scripts better because I understand the context better. I guess it's more grammar nuanced. I love watching in both audios myself.
When <harmony/> had its two day run in theaters here they were seperated by their audio, one day had the JP audio and the other day had the English audio. It's not like every anime movie shown in a theater in the US has to be dubbed. Hell, Kizumonogatari was shown in theaters and obviously Monogatari in general was never dubbed. I wouldn't really call it a need, per se, just you gotta have as big of a reach as possible.

I'm not going to bother to get excited, since SAO isn't even getting a release in the Northeast...
I thought that was the dub for UK audiences? Because when I saw that trailer I was thinking, maybe I should wait until it has the Funi VA's.
Maybe they did wait a very long time before saying anything after the Europe release because they were redubbing it, I guess.

Huh. That's interesting.
They haven't had the final list of theaters yet. They said more will be added later.

Well, the Gatari franchise is only really popular with disgusting otaku, so that's never really going to be a series that gets any dubbing because there'd be no point.

Even if you did manage to dub Monogatari and retain the script and dialogue's punch, I wouldn't watch it because no Chiwa/Kamiya/Sawashiro/Hanakana

I put in 20 random zip codes of northeast states and there are lots of theaters. Are you doing something wrong on the site?

ACCA Episode 2:
Clearly this is not a series for the impatient because make no mistake things are moving forward, it is just those are taking hold in subtle machinations to frame Jean for various high crimes and this is laid out pretty clearly. Indeed, this is clearly building up to a big powder keg explosion, perhaps the literal kind.

Anyway, this continues to have some potentially interesting plot ideas burning at low intensity, but the show just feels so half-assed. The outsourcing to DR MOVIE this episode didn't help either - the production is clearly not rushed given the low number of key animators, but the character art was all over the place, mostly on the bad end of the spectrum. The direction feels plodding, and not in any kind of good way that establishes atmosphere but in a flat "who cares" kind of way. I have to imagine the manga is better than this, so I'm just going to drop the show now.
I figured the undercover agent was Nino from the very first scene the agent was introduced. The only reason the camera would so studiously avoid showing his face is if he was someone we already had been introduced to.

On $hit, they must have updated it over the weekend!!!! NYC was the closest location previously.
Of course the closest theater is in a very bad part of town in MA, but hey, time to start making plans!
Either way, TY!
Looks like it, lol

Hand Shakers ep.2
Well, I'm not sure what to even say about this show at this point. At least they kept the fanservice "classy" and this wasn't a complete $hitshow this time. Some OK comedy mixed in with all the standard eye roll inducing H.S tropes....

That did make the audiobook of Kizu 'interesting'. Not strictly bad, but after so many years of only hearing japanese voices, US voices did take some time to get used to.
My main issue was that it too strictly focused on the contests and didn't leave time for them to breathe. A consequence of getting limited to 13 this time. I guess S1 sold badly.

I could tell from the first episode that this would be a slow burn, but this was slower than I expected. The coup d'etat tease that ended the last episode turns out to be a good deal less urgent than it seemed, the class tension between Jean and the cop gets defused surprisingly quickly, and then it's just a matter of doing more inspections in new places. Sure, there's clearly something going on, but... maybe this is actually slice of life?
I still think the art direction and backgrounds are very attractive, but the animation and direction don't really stand out. I might need to dial my expectations back a bit both for the quality of the production and for the show's overall scope.

I don't think it will be much of an issue going forward since that first episode was so damn terrible....
Haha, I was disappointed when watching the last episode expecting more. Your post got me watching an otherwise excellent series anyway so it's all good.
Some seiyu's can speak English and love their dub VA counterparts though.
Good because I need a breather.

Sooooo [OP and end of ep - speculation]
I agree with most people have thrown at this and particularly the poor character art, which on top of designs I'm not all that fond of either, really rubs me the wrong way yet I still find myself mostly engaged. The lighter situation ended up as an alrighty curveball and the big intrigue lifted a few curtains up.

he's royalty right ? And the ED woman, his mother probably. (Waits to be proven completely wrong like with Erased)

9/10 dubs are my favourite way to watch anime. I always try to listen to both, but if a english dub is available I will always go toward that.
Except french dubs, these are awful 9.9/10

I walked from the boyfriend stone but I didn't get a boyfriend. =/
A schoolgirl also barrelled into me because her friend was doing a shit job directing her and she slammed into my back when I was looking at charms. And she just kept going. That's dedication I guess.

Welp. Looks like I am done with my vote for AOTY. I wanted to watch Your Name and A Silent Voice before I finished it, but I don't think I'll be watching those before the time is up. So yeah...

Yup. I'm on a train to Nara right now to go look at some stuff but will be back later to hit up this awesome jazz bar I found in an alley in the old town near some geisha places.
If I've learned one thing this trip it's this is varying levels of true.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Movie: Lagann-hen
Nia's the best.
Awesome movies. Everyone who watched TTGL should watch them eventually.

Damn, both of my TTGL posts on the bottom of the page. I should have waited. :<
Wow. Better than the first movie. That final battle was unbelievable. Thought that the various things I read about it was hyperbole, but it was truly 25 minutes or so of pure action, the best of its kind.
Loved the bit with all the different Tengen Toppa and then another combination, because being able to throw galaxies as shuriken wasn't enough. I remember LOVING the original finale, but this was something else, good God...
Nia's the best.
Also, I remembered how big of an ass Rossieu was.
