I've watched the first 2 episodes on Funimation's site, why was each episode almost exactly the same but they changed the voices?

They've probably strawberry floated around with it.

Each episode is 20 minutes. It's 10 minute per chunk and they have male and female voices each episode (so 10 minutes of each voice). Some of the jokes sound wildly different depending on the voices. They also change the voiceactors every single episode.

There's also Japonmignon which only gets translated in the second half.

Not really been paying attention to anime of late although I am enjoying the new series of Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan. Darling in the Franxx looks like it could be quite promising so I'll check that out soon too.

Trigger. :wub:

Bought this today from our local comic shop. :)

It's bloody marvellous. I still have the anime on VHS, (hopefully the live action movie will see a re-release of the anime), but never fully read the Manga.

Vol. 1 & 2 on order.

classic Alita is absolutely fantastic, a true gem of sci-fi manga and sci-fi storytelling in general. One of my faves, highly recommended to anyone

That new Godzilla anime on Netflix is pretty damned good. Really looking forward to the next part.

Truly an amazing show.

I still think this may have been one of my all time favourite gags...

If you liked it I would also highly recommend Nourin, it's a great comedy.

I'm all caught up on DBZ Super, damn it's getting good.

The fight between Toppo and Frieza :lol:

Posted this in the TV show thread...

The Squid Girl

Picked it up on DVD from HMV recently because, well, umm, actually i have no idea. Anyhow, it is really, really weird stuff, so Japanese in every possible way, yet it's overall strangeness is mixed with likeable characters and fun (if short) episodes.

I really have never seen anything else like it


I'm guessing some of you folks have watched it? If so, what did you think?

On a separate note, i've also been enjoying Digimon Adventure Tri, watched the first three installments so far and am now waiting for the next set of releases on DVD/Blu.

I remember I tried watching one or two episodes of this but it never really stuck for me. Might have to go back and take another look as I remember it being pretty popular at the time.

For the first time in months I've been able to start a new manga series without giving up after 15 minutes. Decided to read Boys on the Run now that the translation has been completed and having enjoyed some of the authors other works (I Am A Hero). 3 volumes in and I remember reading some of this years ago, but it must have got buried under the hundreds of other series I was reading at the time :lol: There have been brief glimpses of what the story is going to turn into but right now I'm enjoying watching the MC bumble his way through his day-to-day life - something which this author is very good at portraying in his manga.

What point is the dub at now? I gave up on the sub and dub years ago and instead read the manga as the amount of filler was painful to watch. Tried dipping back in for the Boruto adaptation but aside from 1 or 2 episodes it has also been nothing but filler.

If only more shounen battle series got the seasonal Boku no Hero Academia treatment. Instead, the terrible Black Clover manga gets a 51 episode season in an attempt to become the new Naruto and somehow makes the series even more unbearable to sit through. :lol:

Ye I picked up sub as soon as I had caught up with dub, then caught up with sub around 420 where they absolutely butcher the story into tiny bite size pieces and read the last 3 volumes of the manga.

My gf doesn't like subs tho, so I've been watching dubbed with her. They're only at like episode 410 or something, mid-filler. Have yet to start Boruto, sucks if it's also riddled with filler as you say.

Boruto is a weird one in that the anime starts at a point before the manga, be it the Sarada-centric chapters from Naruto or the Boruto spinoff itself. It takes until around episode 20 to get to Sarada's arc iirc and although that arc was handled pretty well with some great animation for a Sakura fight of all things the quality dropped once more shortly after. I believe they recently covered Mitsuki's special chapter but have yet to even bother watching it due to the overall disappointment I felt with the series thus far.

I think the Boruto anime is going to suffer with filler for the long run due to the Boruto manga being monthly and only recently starting its own original content - up until a few chapters ago it was a slightly altered retelling of the Boruto movie.

Anyone watched Girls Last Tour? I just finished it on Amazon Prime, I'm a bit dissapointed by the ending.

Image

It sort of reminded me of the ending to Metro 2033. Those mutants they find are clearly a pretty big threat to every living thing left on earth, they should have nuked 'em... or at the very least tried to get them to hold off with the whole consuming all energy on Earth thing until they get some solar panels up and running.

Seems they went a bit nihilistic with the ending, not really my cup of tea.
