I love when people act like all anime is terrible because it has gross poo poo in it's extremely wide form of media, then a bunch of those same people I've known then uncritically love the babby's first dark fantasy rapefest that ASOIAF is. Also KLK has rad as hell music.

The one with the Arnold Schwarzenegger mammoth (and I think it also had the the weird as gently caress monster card that was a reference to cock and ball torture???) GX had Crystal Beef Arnold Mammoth (who was voiced by Goku, along with other amazing roles he had in GX like Baby Cage Match Goku and Hip Hop Goku). Arc V had Sergey Volkov, aka if Sigma from Mega Man had a BDSM enthusiast deck and used a motorcycle to uppercut people into buildings.

IronicDongz posted:that's kind of a weird take when so much of ds3 is just a ds1 rehash. also it's got by far the most interesting world design with how interconnected the layouts are and how many different routes there are to progress through the game Dark Souls 3 is a Demon’s Souls rehash with a lot of Dark Souls 1 flare and a secret Dark Souls 2 ending. I’m not even joking around with the Demon’s Souls thing, there are so goddamn many nods to that game in DS3.

My only real comment on anime right now is that I'm intermittently in the opening stages of a very big project and the amount of anime/manga games that exist on all major platforms is like some ludicrous monolith reaching up to the very tip of the sky. I never truly grasped just how freaking many Doraemon games are there, and I don't think one of them ever hit the West. And Gundam. GUNDAM. loving hell. I really hope to god most of those awful looking PS2 visual novels aren't connected to some anime or other. Not liking anime because it's apparently all got weird problematic poo poo in it for the mens is crap, though. I mean, I don't have much of an opinion on it because it's not really my thing. No need to just, I dunno, make poo poo up.

Yardbomb posted:Baccano too. I thought the Baccano dub had really fake New Yawk accents and it took me out of it more than just watching it in Japanese would have. Only two dubs that I've ever liked are English Dragon Ball Z (which is the true form of DBZ because high-pitched Japanese Goku is messed up) and Cowboy Bebop. Some games have good English dubbing too like Persona 4 and Dragon Quest XI. There's also a pretty small talent pool for English dub voice actors, and it makes things distracting to hear the same voices over and over.

Neo_Crimson posted:A lot of comedy anime gets way better dubbed. Cromartie High, Konosuba, etc. Panty and Stocking's dub dialogue is even fouler than the original dialogue and makes a great show amazing. Nichijou's dub is actually really good too, aside from the blind-literal translation of one of the character's name as "Hakase" when it's meant to be the title of "Professor" (The character's real name never being brought up).

Takoluka posted:I don't think it's leaps and bounds better, but I will always recommend it first and CB in a very close second. I'm guessing you heard the story about how Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is responsible for those two dubs being so good? I'd also argue that Bebop has the better dub than SAC but they're drat close thanks to her involvement. Turns out when you're recovering from a hospital stay and you can't move around very much you can put yourself to work and hammer home line deliveries and iron out the kinks that come with localization. The best dubs come from time and effort and care. Most shows don't get this, especially nowadays where so much stuff is being localized and they have to do it fast. There ends up being a standard of "decent" for dubs but few that I'd argue really stick out as being phenomenal. You really need time to work out subtleties or deadpan deliveries. The One Punch Man dub is fine, but it doesn't quite hit the comedic timing of Saitama's monotone delivery, and english VAs have a tendency to over-act (or in some cases, under-act) even when they're playing more reserved characters. I think this is why comedy dubs tend to land better because the vocal exaggerations are easier to line up than trying to match nuance of a quiet character. My go-to example of a bad performance in an otherwise great show is Kirk Thornton as Jin in Samurai Champloo. The rest of the dub is great, but he just sucks as Jin because he cannot emphasize his words properly to catch the character's stoic personality. There's stoic and then there's wooden. I'm honestly not sure what happened because Thornton is normally an excellent actor with a huge range, but he couldn't land the role even though it seems tailor made for him.

Takoluka posted:I did not know that! Yeah, she does incredible work, and that really hammers it home. Basically while she was recovering she was hanging around the office where the localizations were being done, and not being able to do much else, she talked with the people working on the localizations to offer input on making the lines not only fit the characters but also the English VAs performances. You can see a massive difference when you put it up next to other dubs of the time. The episode where Spike's ship is being repaired and they take on pirates using Space Shuttle Columbia has a couple of phenomenal dialogue scenes that take full advantage of this, notably during the scene with two simultaneous conversations between Spike and Faye / The mechanic and his assistant. It's so well done you don't even register it because everything is natural and understated, like an actual conversation. Anime loves to speechify so seeing a normal conversation and then also seeing it utilize crosstalk to make things more interesting turns an ordinary scene into a standout.
