I forgot if I dropped the oringal DanMachi or not so I checked out ep1 of s2 and dropped it about halfway through. I realize thats kind of a bummer to open the thread with.
Cromartie High School was one of the first anime I watched and dubbed happened to be the thing most readily available at the time. I enjoyed it a lot. Soon after that I started avoiding dubs altogether for pretty much the same reasons as everybody else, but over the years I always rewatched Cromartie dubbed. I'm not here to debate or anything, and I apologize if this is inappropriate, but is it possible that there's something special about Chromartie's dub? When it comes to comedy, I'm tempted to say dubs are least bad, but I wouldn't really know for sure and I imagine they have a lot of the same problems as others like added vulgarity to emulate American "adult cartoons". Crayon Shin Chan is another show I watched dubbed and I know they changed cultural references so as to not confuse American audiences, so if I ever rewatch that, i'd like to see it subbed. Then there's the case of Ghost Stories, which was too vulgar for my taste and pretty much the same as "abridged" shit. What do you think about these outliers?Post edited on 19th Jul 2019, 2:20am
I'm not quite sure what question you are asking. Are you asking about our thoughts on dubs? Anyways, as far Cromartie High School, I would say give the subs a shot. Since I am not familiar with the series, I'm not sure how much they left out (if anything) but I can say I have seen quite a few anime series that left out certain themes in the dubs (Cardcaptor Sakura comes to mind). Also, thanks to you I know what series to watch after I finish the one I'm watching now. Many thanks!
>>33104 Well, i'm asking more about these specific dubs and others which might break from the mold a bit.
Dubs are all awful, never watch them.
What a fucking poser. It just dawned on me. She's this series's Makoto.
Didn't I see this exact post on /a/ four-years ago? Ahah, the show only came out practically two-years ago.Post edited on 21st Nov 2016, 7:43am
>>27419 I accidentally made this thread when I meant to reply to the IM@S;CG thread. I thought I deleted this post...
Makoto was cute, though.
>>27435 Cutest boy ever
A cute little 800 year old fox girl pampers a lonely officer worker.
>>32854 >If I were that guy I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself. The latest episode did in fact touch on this. The way MC just dismisses the issue that Senko is probably projecting her feelings/guilt over his ancestor onto him quite unsatisfying emotionally. But on the other hand the reason he gave is ultimately practical and I don't fault him for just being content with Senko's company. Even though it may only be a facade, having Senko around is probably more comforting for him than not having anyone at all, much in the same way watching the show provides the viewer with comforting escapism.
>>32946 I noticed that, and it seems they doubled down on it for ep8. I guess they must have figured many viewers were thinking the same thing. So it's nice to see them address it. Like they say it doesn't really help things to worry about good times coming to an end and you shouldn't let that stop you from enjoying the moment.
No kidding...
At this point, any sane person who isn't a complete and total bitch would just hang up the phone.
Season2 is out now.
>>33015 I'm confused and don't understand how a fighting game works when one of the characters is invincible. That's the whole point of this series.
>>33028 Simple, this is how.
Wow, thats was a really sugoi punch.
>>33054 That it is... only one punch!
Very unpopular opinion, but I've wanted to get it off my chest for a while: I don't like Haruhi. At least, I don't anymore. When I first watched it, it was fine. My tastes weren't really developed and I just watched whatever. Looking back on it though, it was a disappointing experience, and I don't just mean season 2. I watched it in chronological order. The first few episodes got me really excited. I loved the premise and thought a lot of crazy, mind fuckey things were going to happen. The possibilities were endless. I was excited to see all sorts of people ask the SOS Brigade for help with supernatural problems. I was excited to see more of the "radical alien faction" or something. I thought Kyon was going to go through a lot of traumatic shit. Haruhi's kind of a cunt, but if she gets better or if there's some repercussions for it, it's fine. Then the baseball episode happened, and most of the show ended up being like that. I get this is a consequence of the source material. I get this is why they aired the episodes out-of-order. I still don't like it. It's not that I don't like slice of life. I liked Azumanga Daioh. I liked Lucky Star. Konata wasn't a magical girl though, and she wasn't possessed by a demon. If the show is going to be high schoolers doing high school things, why can't they just be normal high schoolers? Why waste an interesting premise? It's not even a comedy. There's jokes and gags and references, but it's not funny funny like Danshi Koukousei No Nichijou. Same thing with Hyouka. After the first arc, I thought he was going to solve a murder case or something. Nope. With his genius level mystery solving powers he just hangs around school. There was a cultural festival, last-minute romance sub-plot, and that's it. I just checked, and other "stuff" did happen, but all of it was wiped from my memory. Both of these were adapted from light novels and I think that's a big part of it.Post edited on 2nd Jul 2019, 7:02am
>>33051 I don't know for sure, but I would guess the main reason Despera isn't being made is because of difficulties finding staff to work on it. An anime I was looking forward to was even cancelled because of this. There are more anime productions per year resulting in there being less staff available for a project like this.
>>33055 Most of the time it's more interesting to see characters fail than succeed. This is definitely the case with Haruhi. I think a golden rule of story telling is that whenever characters have a goal, something has to go wrong in a way that has lasting consequences. That takes a hell of a lot more effort to write though. Maybe the premise of Haruhi had too many possibilities, but i'd pay a million dollars to see an Urobuchi version. >>33056 The official statment is here. >Thank you for worrying about Despera. In the case of Despera, it is not simply a matter of funds, but now it is in chaos of animation business in Japan. >The old business model has collapsed, and the route to make independent planning as a commercial work has disappeared. >That is a problem. But well, I will do something. Remember The Big O project had spend years and years to the project has been established. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-03-21/yoshitoshi-abe-despera-anime-project-isnt-dead/.129307
>>33055 You have to admit that the vast majority of discussion and interest about isn’t because there’s a lot of brass connoisseurs in the anime fandom.
>>33058 Sure, but I also don't think most people who like Girls und Panzer build tank models. There's lots of other reasons one might like one of those series. >>33057 >The old business model has collapsed, and the route to make independent planning as a commercial work has disappeared. Makes sense.
An otaku takes home a 1/6 scale figure only to discover she's alive.
>>33010 The anime skipped that part, actually it skipped quite a lot of non-essential parts. You should give it a read, it's actually pretty short.
>>33033 I started reading it but it seemed like a 1-1 adaptation (just with more nudity) so I didn't keep up with it. Does the manga really go into stuff the anime doesn't?
>>32995 Off topic but can it be cleaned? I never experienced it with plastics, I never had any figures though. I get similar damage with rubber, rubberized non slip coatings, stuff like that. Shit's turning back to raw latex. Digging through old stuff I found some binoculars that look like they were dipped in a bucket of glue. I've no idea what to do with them.
>>33035 It's a little sticky but nothing you can't wipe off with a damp cloth. Here's a photo of a figure I've noticed has this problem. It's not supposed to be this glossy, and that's because of the oil leaking.Post edited on 2nd Jul 2019, 7:39pm
Let's see how many of these we can find by pooling our resources. Just post a cap of it in this thread when you see it.
Yuki is another exception.
A group of large mentally challenged people band together take a bite out of crime in a small gated community. Meanwhile a group of spiderman cosplayers try to thank them by relieving them of their neck pains.
>>33005 Watching it to see how it ends. But it lost its lustre when it was still new & fresh. The author needs to focus on what it does the action adventure side and less on the haphazard politics and poorly thought-out "mysteries".
That's some fucking think plot armor... >>33017 Same here. From the start I thought the titan designs were stupid and I disliked the gore porn aspect, but that underdog struggle for survival aspect made the first season interesting. Things really did get lame though when it tried to go political or mystery. I mean I was curious about what the titans are, where they come from, why they're attacking and so on, but then no one freaking asks these questions. It just makes things frustrating. I just want to see how this shit show ends.
After that holocaust shit with the dogs I felt like dropping this and would have done so if it wasn't for sunk cost fallacy. At this point I don't particular enjoy the show but instead follow along because I've made it this far and feel that I may as well see it through to the end.
Did Eren's dad never think to themselves "gee my son's friends have the same names the guy who saved my life mentioned, what a funny coincidence!"
https://anichart.net/summer-2019 Looks like this is finally the season that Japan is going to allow real 2D penis in vagina sex on live television. Araburu Kisetsu no Otomedomo yo - The girls in a high school literature club do a little icebreaker to get to know each other: answering the question, "What's one thing you want to do before you die?" One of the girls blurts out, "Sex." Little do they know, the whirlwind unleashed by that word pushes each of these girls, with different backgrounds and personalities, onto their own clumsy, funny, painful, and emotional paths toward adulthood. romance also Vinland Saga and some other shit
>>32986 When this thread was made last season most of the replies were (justly) pointing out how terrible anichart's website is from ux, ui, and performance perspective.
>>32984 Most of the things I look forward to from next season are films, so I won't be able to watch them until months from now.
>>32987 >a seriously opinionated and debate baiting OP post. I didn't mean it like that, I was just enjoying an opportunity to highlight the total absurdity of censoring cartoons, which is something I find humor in because its like canceling the magician's act because it looked like the lady got cut in half. Mass hysteria and inability to separate imagination from reality are funny.
Well I certainly won't be watching that garbage. So far the only two animes that take my interest are Doctor Stone and Vinland Saga. I read the Manga of Doctor Stone because I though it was something that was unlikely to get animated.
FUCK YEAH
>>32933 Shouldn't he get mold in his face then?
>>32934 It's Jojo, stop trying to use your brain.
I was digging his cyber punk look.
>>32934 It's sort of implied that some stands users can choose who their passive abilities affect. The rules aren't set in stone, so pretty much anything works.
