    Anime at the cinema

    I got an advance ticket to watch Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid-A Lonely Dragon Wants To Be Loved on the 20th. Only problem is that it's subbed only, damn it!

    [Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

    I really think that sh***yroll getting the 3rd season of Oshi No Ko instead of Sentai is a bunch of crap. I don't want to see Sentai go under because they appreciate their customers where as sh***yroll doesn't give a damn about them. I know that having one giant company almost totally dominate...

    What's the deal with dubbed anime?

    I don't think the majority of us dubs are hammy, most are dubbed reasonably straight up. There are some cases such as Emma-A Victorian Love Story and Princess Principal where a proper english accent is an absolute necessity. I can't imagine watching either series in japanese.

    What's the deal with dubbed anime?

    "Another element is that it's harder to spot bad acting in a language you don't speak. Cadence carries a lot, but aside from that there's only so much I can pick up from the few dozen Japanese words I recognize." Exactly my point, in an english dub it's easy to spot hammy acting because you're...

    What's the deal with dubbed anime?

    If it's been dubbed that's how I watch it. Japanese does me no good as I don't speak it-it's not true that the original jap track is always better than the dub. If you don't know what they are saying then you don't have any point of reference to make a comparison with. If I watch a subbed only...

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    I used (or rather tried to use) Aegisub and found it difficult to use because the interface is not intuitive and it has a high learning curve so I just use Subtitle Edit instead. It does everything I need it to do. But back to point-the problem I have with most streaming subtitles is that...

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    Has anybody seen how crappyroll has recently changed the style of streaming subtitles? Used to be they put some effort into the font style and positioning of them and did overlays for signs and comments now all they do what amazon and every other anime streaming site does-just lines of text...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    From what I've of the DP kickstarter it looks like it looks like an old hkdvd anime set. Matter of fact I still have quite a few hk sets from my early days of collecting and most of them look better than this DP set does.

    General Politics Thread

    As you've probably gathered from my previous posts I'm a big trump hater and can't stand any and all things associated with him, his lackeys and stooges etc. I'm getting vibes from other liberal minded persons like myself that a tipping point is coming soon when the wannabe tyrant's "throne" is...

    Mayonaka Punch was one of my favorite vampire series from the past few seasons. It inspired me to watch Call Of The Night which I'm now doing and the first few episodes have been very good. Guess I'll have to watch S2 then I'm done with S1.

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    I watched the first 2 seasons of Rise Of The Shield Hero and gave up on it while Redo Of Healer was as mean spirited a series as I've ever watched.

    It looks like trump's doubling down on his idiotic 100% tariffs on "foreign" films again. What a bloody moron!

    Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus-this series has been uniformly excellent in its writing and characterization as have all the Rascal series and movies so far.

    Mars Express, very cool. It reminds me of Armitage The Third due to the subject matter.
