Early screenings at theaters are common if it's a project with money behind it.

Plus it's a fanservice-heavy thing aimed right at the otaku. That's a pretty safe theatre-filler for them.

Interesting of its original cases, possibly kind of boring if not, especially if they're based on the first game which I have played about four times now.

Not to mention a live-action movie of it.

Also it's gonna be weird if the anime gets a more literal translation and the original names and stuff.

The live-action movie's official subtitles are completely Phoenixed, so I wouldnt be concerned. Capcom's at least aware enough to stay on top of that. Localizing it as anything BUT Phoenix Wright would conflict with their branding and merchandising.

It's also worth pointing out that the live action movie is awesome and a definite recommended watch for fans

Just as a side-note, one of my favourite little details in the film is they filled the general audience in the courtroom with people dressed in a general eccentric style as a way to ground some of the more out there outfits the main characters have :allears:.

AnimeLab's added a few more announcements for the season, and more are apparently still coming (C'monnn, One-Punch Man! :pray:). Here's what they have so far as they just made a blog post listing them;

  • The Asterisk War
  • Noragami Aragoto (Season 2)
  • K: Return of Kings
  • The Testament of Sister New Devil BURST
  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans
  • Anti-Magic Academy: 35th Test Platoon
  • Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid
  • Chivalry of a Fallen Knight (I think this is the one listed as "Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan")

The first season of Noragami was pretty good but largely overlooked due to Funimation being lovely. The dubbed version of the first season is free on Hulu, but that misses the point. Half the fun of the show is Hiroshi Kamiya having a blast as Yato.

For what its worth, its available subbed and dubbed on AnimeLab.

Attack on Titan Junior High got a few laughs out of me. I question if they can come up with enough gags to fill a 12 episode series. Seems like it should have been an OVA. I would say the first episode is worth watching for the OP alone, even if you were not a fan of the anime. Maybe especially if you were not a fan.

What's the point of it anyway? Just to milk the old cash cow and pass time until there's enough manga progress to work from again?

Iron-Blooded Flags was fantastic.

I liked that getting the Gundam going was their plan all along for once rather than having the protagonist just fall into the cockpit.

Ben-To was really good and it's a shame they ran out of material so they could do a full adaptation.

ANN rated the first episode of Anti-Magic Academy as straight 1s, except Theron Martin who gave it 2 because he thought it had potential.

Spice and Wolf was based on a LN, and it was awesome.

I'm yet to see to a LN adaption where the premise is Magic-Fighting High School that wasn't hot garbage all the way down, though.

The highest it's achieved is "entertainingly average" with Mikagura School Suite.

Fanservice aside, I think the premise is interesting and the leads are solid enough to carry the show. I hope is succesful and we get them as playable on an hypotetical game sequel.

Man, Iron Blood Orphans is really loving good. I really like the op music too. For those of you familiar with Gundam, how does this one compare so far? As someone who's never watched a Gundam, I'm curious.

It's really good. If you want similar quality, go check out Gundam 00 or Build Fighters*.

I can't help but think that someone's forcing the simulcast as part of a contract or something, and Funimation's stuck going crazy with the bloom tool in photoshop until it's just barely inside the regulations to not be completely reprehensible.

As long as we're discussing censorship, why the hell do these studios make scenes that are going to have to be full-screen censored even in the uncensored/Blu-ray releases?

I'm primarily talking about Prison School and To Love Ru, but I lost count of the number of full-screen crotch - shots that could have been averted simply by choosing a slightly different camera angle.

Inference by obfuscation I guess. They must have their gratuitous full-screen crotch shots at any cost, so they'll take it to the very edge of permissible imagery rather than change it at all.

Saban actually has the full series license, not just Smile, based off what some other licensors have said (Toei will only license it as one big package).

This is what Japanese companies have been doing since the 90's with licensed anime (it's why there were so many bad OVA's, companies wouldn't let the good stuff in their catalogue be dubbed unless they unloaded some crap as well), and as they're hacking a fresh dub away, around it all goes anew :v:.
