Good to know it gets better. Honestly, every saga has gotten progressively better.

B-T-dubz, anyone know how far into the series the Funi dub is? I'd like to not have to watch a lot of subbed anime.

did you mean to quote someone?
no idea what you're talking about

[Digglett]

So, I finished the 3rd Vampire Hunter D book, watching Bloodlust since it's based on it. But holy shit, I don't know if this is exclusive to the dub but, Danpeal...? Really? What the fuck is a Danpeal? Why are they not saying Dhampir? Why would you change that? WHY WHY WHY?

Leila, what did they do to you.. why.. the hair... why... ;_; It's Doris from the first movie all over again... uuurgh.. dese designs.. so bad... sooo bad.

should put that in your post then (that you're talking about one piece)
pretty confusing otherwise!

looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_One_Piece_episodes
the dub is at episode 205 which is a few hundred episodes behind (well that was last year so add about 50sh episodes)

but a decent amount of the episodes are different....

I believe they actually dropped it at 205.

I heard a rumor that they where going to start it back up, but I am not entirely sure.

that's when 4 kids dropped it
not really sure what goes on with it anymore but since it's on crunchyroll i assume funimation (or some other studio) is keeping up with it now

[Davendwarf]

I sure hope so.

[turlyonlost to tirion wtf]

You can watched one piece subbed on funi's site actually the dub is way far be hide

I'm really anxious to watch Carnival Phantasm, but I'm thinking I'll wait until after I read Tsukihime so I can understand all of the references. It sounds hilarious from what I've read about it, though. Especially "Sehai-kun".

Should be fine without reading/watching Tsukihime. Felt like they referenced the Fate series a lot more than Tsukihime.
But probably better to read/watch everything before for maximum pleasure. ¯\(°_o)/¯

sci-fi, do you mean like sci-fi themes or sci-fi concepts like outerspace?

(how could you rate trigun so low?!)
ghost in the shell
mugen no ryvius
gungrave
.hack sign
el hazard (the first one)
Martian Successor Nadesico
Evangelion
Rah Xephon
Outlaw Star
the third

Thanks! Yeah, sorry, Trigun just didn't click with me. I wouldn't have finished it if it weren't for my little brother (I was trying to get him to watch Steins;Gate, so we made a deal. I finish Trigun, he starts watching Steins;Gate). And as for theme/concepts, really I've taken to watching either. I do especially like anime that make me think about a familiar sci-fi concept in a way different from the norm.

The closest you would get that I know of is mechs. Have you seen Code Geass?

What am I talking about, list.. derp. >.> If you have already seen the first season there is no reason you shouldn't be watching the second season right this second. ;P

It's not on crunchyroll... >.<

I'll check netflix and hulu though. I haven't yet.

You could try Noein, time travelling/alternate dimensions sci-fi series from 2005. I enjoyed it quite a bit, just recently finished it.

Seihai-kun is a Fate/Stay reference, referring to the abomination at which the Seihai looks like.

Yeah, I know what it is, I was saying that's the funniest reference I've read about so far. I wouldn't understand anything from Tsukihime, though.

And also because Arcueid > Saber.

I heard a rumor that they where going to start it back up, but I am not entirely sure.

They announced late last year that they had picked up the rights to dub up to around episode 260ish but I am not sure if they have released those.

As far as I know Funimation still releases subbed episodes an hour after they air on their own website and then posts them on hulu.com. They have been doing that for awhile now.

Nah I don't think so. 4kidz dropped it much earlier on then that.

^ Exactly this.


New Tari Tari, Oda Nobuna, Muv-Luv, Arcana Famiglia, Jinrui, and AKB today. It's like I am in heaven.

Tari Tari is late by a few hours though for the CR rip.

Haha, that's hilarious. Reminds me of some very creative cosplaying involving that spoiler, could probably find it on google if I was feeling less lazy.

Does anyone know the release dates for the Madoka movies? Ugh, it'll probably be a pretty long wait for us, unless we want to watch a subbed camcorder version. I remember waiting ages for the Haruhi movie to come out on blu-ray because the camcorder version was absolute crap.

October 6th and 13th for the first two. Third one is probably in 2013.

How long do movie subs typically take? Haven't watched many anime movies, especially not around the air time.

Well Disappearance was subbed within a week of airing, but the only way to watch it was from someone who recorded it with a pretty crappy camcorder of some kind, like I said above. It started airing in theaters February 6th of 2010, and then didn't come out on blu-ray until December 18th. After the blu-ray was released you could get the really high quality releases that everyone's using now within days, I'm pretty sure. I watched it on Christmas myself, a nice little treat. Anyways, getting back on topic, with how popular Madoka is I'm sure there'll be a camcorder rip pretty quickly, but it will be really bad. The 3rd movie is what most people are interested in, but it probably won't be until the end of 2013 that it comes out on blu ray so people can release a high quality version.

Basically, it depends on how well you can tolerate a really shitty and wobbly video. I personally can't tolerate it at all, so I'll be in for a pretty long wait. There's no problem with series on TV because they can pull the raws as they're airing, but it's just a lot trickier with movie theaters.

Two Kurisutina avatars, now two Sayas. I can see the confusion.

Oh, well that's disappointing. Hopefully it will come sooner due to the popularity and that jazz.

Was going to do a Kyouko after you two were talking about it, but it was too hard to make in a few minutes. And Saya/ka is more kawaii.
