Just watched the 1st two episodes of Megalo Box, I think it's the sleeper hit of the season, if not the year.

Yeah I've been digging Megalo Box a lot.

Cyber City Oedo is often well-regarded as a terribly funny dub.

If you need warp power go for ESL dubs. The Philippines did Voltes V and Daimos and Malaysia did the DBZ Movies. There's some other Malaysia ones like Doraemon, too.

The ADV-produced dub of SDF Macross (the first tv series) is a goofy train wreck, but it's not firing on all bad dub cylinders to the degree those other ones I mentioned are. The highlight is one of the characters has her Japanese voice actress reprising the role over twenty years later. So you have a middle-aged Japanese woman with decent English skills pretending to be a young Chinese girl with awful English skills. You'll keep expecting her to squawk out ME RUB YOU RONG TIME.

Granted, Ijima had been living in the states for 2 decades at that point, and she reprised her role in the Japan only PS3 Macross game. She also reprised her role in memory of one of the actors in the original Japanese who committed suicide in 1997. Decent English, but it's fairly accented. On another topic, I found out that the anime adaptation of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid was all drawn by hand. Need proof?

Her English skills are decent enough. They intentionally chose to chingchow it up.
Here's her in "Pacific Blue" a few years before.

Oh man, I need to get around to listening to more of those (and not Animax dubs, holy shit). I think like a decade ago I watched the Filipino dub of Digimon on YouTube (I think it's still there?), and that was quite the experience. I will never ever forget the way Mimi's voice actress sounded like she said "[MetalSeadramon] is burning the bitch house!" when it's "beach house".
 
Friend recomended me Legend of Galactic Heroes as a good choice for somebody who is not really into anime genre and I seen it mentioned here a few times. It's better to watch the orginal version or that new one?
 
I've just watched the best shittiest animated movie yet, Aachi & Ssipak, and I just have to drop it here. Seriously, it's a piece of crap, but it's quite the golden turd and needs to be seen to be believed that someone in Korea so lovingly shat it out for the world to bask in its glory. I believe it helps that the English dub for it is like the perfect "so bad, it's good", like I honestly don't know if it's just a really bad dub, or if it's brilliant. And for a movie that came out in 2006, the animation still looks really good, as does the action choreography.

Does Korean animation count as anime?

Korean and Chinese animation has been getting more traction (so it probably won't be long now before this thread gets revamped to be "Eastern Animation"), and Crunchyroll's been hosting more of them lately. I didn't recall seeing any Japanese names attached to the project in the credits, but the movie felt like it was created by a lovechild between Shinichi Watanabe and Hiroyuki Imaishi. So eh.

They've still got a long way to go before they gain as much traction as anime has in the West, though.

One of my loves is shitty bootleg Korean anime, like Super Mazinger 3, Space Thunder Kids, and Diatron-5. They are so shitty and the voice acting is so god awful that it becomes hilarious.

Did you ever hear of one called Defenders of Space? A friend of mine went to Anime Boston's regular Bad Anime panel this year and was stunned by how bad it was.

It's the most fun to watch them with other people else you just bore yourself to death. I believe it was Space Thunder Kids that my brother and I willingly tortured ourselves with one Sunday and it was the version on YouTube in which the audio went out of sync I think upward to 15 seconds by the time it was done. It was the longest 75(?) minutes of my life. I later then sent it to a friend through Skype and he did a live reaction to it while I sat on my bed cackling the whole time. Ah, good times.

I barely remembered that 'til I looked it up. I had watched it with the same friend a few years ago and we were honestly bored out of our minds. I don't even remember what happened, it was just as boring as Captain of Cosmos. I hope that panel had live heckling.

9a going full Tumblr was funny.
What's worse is that the Futoshi cuckposters are back in full force.

Watch the OVA first, then watch Space Jam.
 
Oh yeah bootleg south Korean stuff is great. One of them has Waruzard, an early pre-Transformers villain robot from the Diaclone line.

Manga Artist Yoshihiro Kuroiwa Passes Away
posted on 2018-05-15 23:10 EDT by Rafael Antonio Pineda

The wife of manga artist Yoshihiro Kuroiwaannounced on his blog on Wednesday that Kuroiwa passed away due to a heart attack on May 8. His family held a funeral service for him.


Kuroiwa's wife explained that she did not announce his passing sooner as it was so sudden.

Kuroiwa is best known for drawing the art for the Kishin Dōji Zenki manga, with Kikuhide Tani in charge of the story. The manga ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1992 to 1996, and inspired a 51-episode television anime by Studio DEEN in 1995, as well as the Kishin Dōji Zenki Gaiden: Anki Kitan original video anime in 1997.


Kuroiwa also drew the Macross Frontier: Chō Jikū Uta-Miko Ranka spinoff manga in 2008. He later drew the art for the Buddy Spiritsmanga, with story by Miyuki Kishimoto, from 2013 to 2014.


He most recently launched the Otomegami Amaterasumanga on Home-sha's Z manga website in April 2017, and the manga remains unfinished. The manga recently updated with the 13th chapter, and the site announced that it is considering showing the manga's unfinished 14th chapter as well as Kuroiwa's last ideas, if his family will allow it. The manga's first compiled book volume shipped last December.

Perhaps we could call it Asiamation?
(yes, you can power level me for that)

Certainly a long road to travel.

It was, I had that crappy film once in my stash.

"Solar Adventure" is also perfect for a taste of pro South Korean fighting Norks with our giant robot buddy.

So I had said in this one post elsewhere that I'm surprised Tumblr hasn't been REE'ing about Darling in the FranXX due to how extremely hetero it is. Well, I can't confirm this person's from Tumblr, but they definitely are triggered about it being too straight (which is literally the first thing they point out about it).

This is why we can't have nice things, someone's always going to complain because you weren't thinking of them. I'm sure nobody in Japan did! They certainly aren't looking for anything outside the norm. Why do you think they have such a low birth rate lately?

In other news, Hayao Miyazaki did a eulogy to his departed partner and friend.
