Geneijin said:Well, there is a OreImo PSP game coming out.
I don't think Isaac or Miria are that bad in English. It's Jacuzzi that gets me--his voice is so annoying in the dub.InfiniteNine said:Yeah, once I have someone I likes voice set I can't really go along with another version. Happened with Gurren Lagann when I checked out the dub since I didn't feel that Kamina and some of the other characters didn't come across correctly since I had their original VA's tone and exaggeration ingrained in my head. I really can't imagine Isaac and Miria in English either.
If movies and anime teach us anything, everything interesting always happens in New York, LA/SF, Chicago and Tokyo.InfiniteNine said:Not everyone lives in New York, California, and Washington though. ;P
Well that all seems reasonable enough.Jexhius said:I tried to write a little bit about some of the scenes present in episode 1 of Bakemonogatori. Please excuse my rusty analysis and first-draft writing.

It really isn't just an image dump, I need them to explain my thoughts!
This ended up taking way longer than I had imagined. There's a clearly a lot more to say.
I guess my real conclusion is : quite a bit of what Shibo does is there for good reason.
Yeah, it can get pretty hard to follow at a few points but I thought it came together rather nicely towards the end.KuwabaraTheMan said:Yeah, Baccano's story is definitely pretty complex, especially with the way it keeps jumping around through time. I really should get around to giving it another viewing at some point.

Well I should hope there's nothing unreasonable in my surmising, but it has been a few years since I last had to write about this kind of thing.Branduil said:Well that all seems reasonable enough.
I blame having gotten an education and then having free time.Halycon said:EDIT: You're fucking OUT OF YOUR MIND JEHXIUS.
I agree with your points though :3
Indeed they do, but they generally focus their time on trying to get a story told in 20-odd minutes with whatever budget they have. They aren't so interested in pulling stunts with the camera, or even building meaning.firehawk12 said:Of course, people can be a bit on the nose too - from the latest MM!:
But I guess that shows that all directors typically have something in mind.
That rule just seemed unwritten to me anyway!Geneijin said:Edit: Ouch. JKTrix, if you're here reading this, Hito mentioned a warning pages ago.
Some people here need to spend more time at gaming discussion!That rule just seemed unwritten to me anyway!
I haven't even seen the first episode, but this is what i feel about the show in general. I'll be keeping a eye on impressions to see if it remains consistent though.Otome Youkai Zakuro
The first episode was good enough, but JC Staff is obviously going to pull a JC Staff and fuck it up before long. The character designs are way too elaborate for them to not degrade horribly after a few episodes, specially with how many shows JC Staff producing this season; it's also directed by Chiaki Kon, who has a less-than-stellar track record as a director.

Thanks!Solune said:That was an excellent read Jexhius.
I was wondering if I was the only one still watching it.Jexhius said:The direction in Katanagatari is solidly average (as is the animation) but the work still holds up over other shows because of the writing is good.
They see can practically hear the mooing.firehawk12 said:Also, they seem to be going all out with K-On, doing not only DVD/BD releases but special editions as well. Youch.
huh?firehawk12 said:Huh, just reading some NYAF news and Bandai announced TGWLTT Blu Ray... no need to import from the UK/AUS now at least.

zoku88 said:huh?
I really, really think K-On! is going to bomb here. At least they're not going through the trouble of translating and redubbing the songs.Jexhius said:They see can practically hear the mooing.
Nope. The closest is an HK BD with English subs.zoku88 said:Oh. Huh, I had always thought the blu-ray was already released.
Now that I think about it, the box my brother has is actually from Korea.firehawk12 said:Nope. The closest is an HK BD with English subs.
I sadly have to agree, it doesn't seem like something a casual would pickup and watch. That's really too bad =(firehawk12 said:I really, really think K-On! is going to bomb here. At least they're not going through the trouble of translating and redubbing the songs..
Oh yeah, let's not forget that K-On will first be released as single disc releases for maximum gouging. :lolDeadly said:I sadly have to agree, it doesn't seem like something a casual would pickup and watch. That's really too bad =(

even for UK viewers? Bullocks...Reknoc said:And it's region locked. Hope they don't get anything I'm interested in.

Yeah, it was awesome. Made a thread just now about the SF screening. I'm a horrible promoter, but I should get the word out at least :lolGiolon said:I just got back from seeing REDLINE at the theater in SF Japantown. It was off the hook insane and totally awesome. If this shit opens up near you, go out of your way to see it.

It's playing in SF through Thursday.
Vox-Pop said:I still have no idea how they're going produce the songs in English. I hope they just don't dub it without changing the tempos.
ANN said:Update 2: K-ON! is being released in four parts, with a suggested retail price of US$29.98 for each part on standard DVD. Bandai Entertainment does not plan to redub the songs in English.
About fucking time, I've held off on TGWLTT for so damn long knowing it was on Bluray, I was never sure what was going on, last thing I heard was a tweet that Funimation was doing it that was released on April 1st, I don't believe anything on that day. I wish they had given a date though. Ghost in the Shell: SSS on Bluray is icing on the cake though as I don't own it yet either.firehawk12 said:Huh, just reading some NYAF news and Bandai announced TGWLTT Blu Ray... no need to import from the UK/AUS now at least.
Takao said:Man, Sunrise is just dumping Gundam stuff on Bandai Ent now. I guess it helps hide the fact the company only has two or three titles in release at any given time.
further down the rabbit hole...Reknoc said:Either I'm going insane or I've accidently watched the same 3 Macross 7 episodes. No they were slightly different but still ended up being preparing, live performance, get interrupted by attack, Basara flys out and sings to the aliens. I've even seen the same exact Valkrie gets blown up animation in all 3 episodes. Still episode 3 did have Basara dodge dudes trying to hit him while singing which was awesome.
I'm totally distracted by Mylene's furry ball though, I have no idea what it is but it's cute and hope it gets its own backstory episode.
