I just finished watching Erased. Highly recommend it; great characters and story. I was really invested in it.

Erased will always be relevant for shitposts because of this.
 
Did someone who was writing Sword Art Online suddenly get Jesus or something like that? Because holy FUCK the Christian metaphors are intense.

Eugeo is fucking Jesus (him chopping down the tree could be considered a carpenter), Kirito is Peter. Gabriel Miller gets dragged down into literal fucking hell. Not to mention the Christian imagery gets super intense. Obviously, with Alicization having to deal with the creation of true AI, creation metaphors are going to come into play. That being said, its just kind of weird seeing these overt Christian references in a culture where Christianity is basically like their religion over in the West, something mysterious and ephemeral. Its just so odd to see accurate Christian metaphors in anime.

Just finished a rewatch of Eureka Seven, some annoying aspects that bothered me when I first watched it around 2007 annoyed me even more this time around (those three obnoxious brats that cling to Eureka) but overall still pretty solid with a great ending. Shame what they've done to the franchise since then.

Also is anybody eager to watch that Burn the Witch movie? It's coming out in like 3 weeks. Not generally the biggest fan of Kubo's works but I do love his character designs.

I won't decline your experience choice. But this is just really bad dub. I can speak from my own experience on this due to the fact that:

> I had a dubtard phase for a long while since 2016, until last year. I mostly watch subbed nowadays too.

> I've been watching Uzaki-chan subbed since it was airing. So I can tell how bad this dub ruins many things, things that are not just voice based.

> I'm putting my Weeb Wars hatred for Monica Rial aside, so I'm very unbiased in saying this dub is shit.

tbh I can't stand most dubs in general, even the stuff that comes from the US, and over here literally everything is dubbed, so might be part of it too.
I can probably count the number dubs that are imo better than the original on one hand (and even one of them is 50/50 since the dub censored some parts).

You should watch Trigun. It's literally a metaphor about Christian forgiveness and redemption, all in the form of Weird West action fest.

Don't worry. As a member of the superior, see don't understand moon speak, dub race, I fill confident in describing Monica's work as awful. She sounds like a forty year old auntie holding her nose because she thinks that's what a twenty year old pixie sounds like.

Truthboi said:
Monica only hit her peak in anime pre-2014 since she was a decent voice actress who had much better range. She sounds really bad here and trying too hard. I think her only good recent role was Mila from Fire Emblem only because she had to sound much more mature and wise, instead of trying to replicate her younger days.

It's a shame since I used to like her voicework, especially her portrayal of Stocking. This is of course ignoring her as a person cause I really lost much interest in the Weeb Wars drama but it did help me steer away from Funimation dubs.

Then again I guess this is natural given she was cursed by the root of all internet autism

Funi is really fucking weak and it doesn't have to be. The main thing to come out of Weeb Warz on Funimation was that its a clique that keeps giving work to a handful of limited actors and actress.

Do you do online or physical?

You really should, it's in my top 5 animes, and you should watch the dub, Meryl, Vash and Spoiler Character do a great job, but I will admit there are a couple of times Milly's voice gets a bit grating.

You're trying to convert me to the cult of dubs, aren't you?

I like reading them, most of my favorite are monthly. That being said, its sort of like a long term investment and when they end its pretty sad. Sure, you only get about 10 or 11 chapters a year, but it makes it a little event.

I use tachiyomi that tracks all that shit for me though. I'd probably forget a couple of them, otherwise. I reread them every couple years or so.

Doesn't the manga end differently? I remember laughing at the changes they made when adapting it but can't remember anymore.

Has anyone watched the second season of Darker than black? I had watched the first but never got around to watch season 2 because I got preoccupied with other shit. Now that I'm re watching the first season and wanted to know if it is worth watching.
 
Recently a bunch of PC types got mad at me because I pointed out how Anime owes much of its existence to American pop culture and more specifically Disney. Apparently, the truth is racist.

I was going to ask "More accurate than Trigun?" but you haven't seen it. (:_(

Just Trigun's dub. Johnny Yong Bosch as Vash is as classic as it gets, and people tend to shit on Jeff Nimoy, but he was excellent as Wolfwood, probably my favorite role of his next to Tentomon. But it's a classic Pioneer dub to begin with, no bullshit to be found.

Real talk if you want good dubs here's a short list. Trigun, s-CRY-ed, Big O, Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Baccano, Burst Angel, and Samurai Champloo. Take note, most of these heavily feature legendary Steve Blum.

I don't think they made much changes to the anime beyond removing part of the serial killer's backstory.

I disagree on Samurai Champloo's dub being good as Blum barely tries to change his voice and it's really distracting IMO.

Though to add on to the list I say that Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood also had a god tier dub and Persona 4's anime adaptation on virtue of having the same voice actors from the game, though both of these have in common that the majority of the voice actors did those roles before.
 
Monthly manga tend to have the best art quality, though. Sometimes it pays to wait.

Monthly manga is still better than Barasui's current release strategy of maybe two or three splinters of the same chapter of Ichigo Mashimaro/Strawberry Marshmallow a year if you're lucky. (I think Barasui either has a non-manga day job or draws other manga under a different pen name. If Katsuwo and Barasui turned out to be the same person, it wouldn't surprise me too much.)
