A couple friends of mine just showed me Stines Gate last night. We got about three episodes in and MAN I wished the whole "Time Travel is real" aspect was ripped out. Because then this would be a great slice of life show/Japanese version of Crying of Lot 49 but with a wannabe Rick Sanchez.

Nah the slice of life makes you care but if it went to long it would get pretty grating. It’s dub is also amazing.

Max Wilco posted:Going somewhat in line with what Lamps said, though, I remember someone saying that anime twenty-thirty years ago was a lot more 'globalized', in that it had a more broad appeal in its content (sci-fi shows like Gundam or the like ). Nowadays, it feels like it's more insular, or rooted in Japanese culture to a point where you need knowledge of Japanese cultural norms to get a better context. In those cases, sticking to original dubbing and subtitles feels more appropriate. This is just one example from years back, but they aren't totally unaware of how the last decade or so of industry trends are unappealing internationally. quote:Just left a seminar on overseas broadcasting where there was a breakdown of what overseas anime fans want. In particular, Shirobako was used as an example of what not to do.

Do Mike, Rob and Doug have to give back the Golden YouTube Play Button if their subscriber count eventually drops bellow one million for a certain amount of time? Does YouTube send hired goons to wrestle it from them if it's not mailed back?

BigRed0427 posted:Yeah, I'll wait till she actually posted it in public. I mean, it depends where you live, too. In Boston's suburbs, $100K is more than enough to live on by a wide margin. In Boston itself, you're gonna have a real hard time affording rent and living expenses on that salary. But yeah, if you're making a quarter million dollars a year, you're not struggling unless you have four kids.

Impermanent posted:What'd the director say afterwards about grave of the fireflies? I think that, instead of being a brutal look at the horrors of war, he tried to reframe the whole movie as "kids these days suck, back in MY day we got firebombed" and it rubbed a few people the wrong way.

I just want Bennett to get on with his Bubblegum Crisis retrospective because I want to see what he thinks of Tokyo 2040. I'd also love to see him do G Gundam just because it's the best Gundam series or something on Slayers. I know he did Slayers the Motion Picture but that's more of just a broad comedy-adventure in comparision to the series or OVAs. edit: Also come on guys, Cromartie High School clearly has the greatest dub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAb3ho7fSsE Testekill fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Apr 20, 2018 |

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt was an anime series, reputedly, started as a drunken bet to see how far they could push censorship and good taste South Park-style. Like right to just shy of breaking point. The original dialogue's pretty good, just for skirting rrrrrules by swearing in english (and parodying a lot of western properties). The english dub is even more depraved because they didn't have to worry about said broadcast regulations.

Housing shortages in major urban areas. Either because no one wan't to build or rent to low income people or because the wealthier residents fight to keep people from building new housing in order to keep their property values up.

I always find these sub vs. dub discussions interesting, because in my country ( ) such a debate doesn't really exist. Over here, dubbing is almost exclusively used on programming for young children while all other foreign stuff is subtitled, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
