If YWEWY has one season then the adaption is fucked and will just blitz through the game events without having the environment which made the game what it was.
On the other end of the scale, I really want Blue Reflection Ray to succeed. Since the game it's somewhat based on, while flawed, had great music and tone, but the first episode really drags.
 
Has anyone started Megalobox Season 2 yet? I'm really liking the Spanish theme of it all. Its kind of strange to see anime with a spanish soundtrack, but it works.

And people wonder why dubs are absolute dogshit. Even the sub for Nogatoro is basically just changing suspicious to 'sus', which would be relevant if they were in high school around now. So while cringe, its at least justifiable and not out of place. Its something a teen would say at least. This is just fucking idiotic and disgusting.
And once again I feel justified in not giving money to these shitty companies. A pirate's life for me.
Would y'all believe if I told you the original was about skateboards?

Also, to answer Secret Asshole, I've been watching it, it's pretty kino to watch tbh.
 
Yeah I watched Sk8 as it was airing. It was a fun sports anime romp and it's actually kinda funny that they chose the villain as the progressive mouthpiece considering he's the most blatant problematic fujopandering character in the show. He lusts after a teenage boy, hits another guy in the face with his skateboard and sent him to the hospital, tries to drag the teenage boy into into a double suicide pact when he gets depressed after nearly losing a race and ends the show getting away with it completely and calling his childhood friend butler a dog who he owns.

The retards at funimation are super proud of it too: https://twitter.com/KylePhillipsFUN/status/1381000732464316421?s=20

One of the major reasons subs are better than dubs is that they can't pull this shit as these cringe subs would make zero sense with the intended dialogue. I can't stand the western anime market, it makes me incredibly MOTI to see these companies bastardizing shows for the sake of woke points, and being able to get away with it because they have a monopoly.

Fuck Sony.

Jfc all of the replies of faggots and troons going "THANK YOU THIS IS AMAZING" is fucking incredible.

These braindead idiots don't give a fuck if its inaccurate or doesn't fit or anything. It's all about MUH REPRESENTATION.

If they made a canon male or female character a troon for zero reason, they'd be posting pictures of themselves crying tears of joy.


Fuck off.
 
Makes me happy I swore off all English Dub anime after the Vic Mignogna situation and how he was treated by the VA's and these companies.

Seriously, most English VA's are fuckin awful and cringe people and are just as responsible for allot of changed dialogue dub wise.

I chose to not go for Sk8 just because I knew it was fujopandering and didn't want to get near those people, but that guy being the villainous creep of the series saying that is pretty fucking hilarious.
 
It's depressing but it's a fun ride. Sensei going beast mode was amazing and it'll be interesting to see more of the flashback stuff with the mom.
Christmas Cake teachers make some crazy bitches. The scene where she was with the guy's childhood friend was next level uncomfortable. Our protag has been well and truly fucked with figuratively and very literally throughout it.

I can't believe Funimation unintentionally helped show how some male progressive allies are psychos.

Hope they do this more but make literal rapist characters spout feminist talking points.
 
I can forgive the "sus" line in Nagatoro because even though it's blatantly forcing a meme it does make sense for teenagers to use slang variations of longer words.

Can't defend the change in Sk8 though, what the fuck is that?
 
What's "amazing" is that SK8 is a Bones show, with Takuya Igarashi storyboards, Ichiro Okouchi as lead writer, Banana Fish director. It's very good that they're doing this with major anime now, doing it 4Kids style but with woke culture war nonsense.

The well has been completely poisoned on the "localization" subject so the only acceptable opinion nowadays is to cheer for Reddit speak being added to the "translation". People defending the new bad localization are going "buh they just gave it more flavor" (which is, obviously, just another way of saying "it's better now") there is no difference between people saying this is okay because it's "better than the original" and "localizations don't HAVE to be 1:1!!", they are the same argument. An argument which for some reason is only applied to certain niches of Japanese media, wonder why.

It was just weird like out of context the line is hilarious in the unintentional sense but knowing the context of the original translation makes it feel forced and then knowing who said the line makes it both unintentionally hilarious and even worse.

Honestly, I think the anime is just there as a primer for people who don't want to play the first game before the sequel comes out.

A bunch of the Hololive girls use "sus" when talking about Among Us, so the meme does have actual usage in the JP sphere.
 
I bet the people praising the Sk8 “localization” line are the same ones that get mad at the Nagatoro manga translation where Sempai calls people “normalfags”
I won't be surprised tbh, cause:

1: They're normalfags themselves
2: NB's are the 2nd most malleable to pandering after trannies in the LGBT chart.
