So I went through the Watamote dub a few days ago. Aside from a few bit performances and a few jokes that weren't quite translated well, it wasn't bad. Apparently Sentai thought otherwise seeing as it was released with absolutely no fanfare whatsoever.

To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."

So now I'm watching Jinrui Wa Suitai Shimashita.

The manzines... truly, humanity has declined far.

Also, is it just me or does the ending animation depict the main character dying by slipping on a banana peel?

Sounds like fun.

Aww, those poor space probes...

So Assistant-kun defined his personality based on the gossip of a bunch of Watashi clones. And the one and only thing he ever said was a bad pun.

Care to explain to those of us who don't have the privilege of knowing anything about that company?

.......................... when did this happen?

With the # of shows they're making at the same time, I knew they had to pay for it in some way.

their rate of output in recent years has been completely bananas, so really not surprising...

Of course, the main reason US fans would declare that company evil is because of the somewhat heavy association with a certain licensor...

Honestly I'm more alarmed that "overworks their employees to the point of suicide" only makes them sixth most evil corporation.

[up] They call the relationship between big business, civil bureaucracy and the party elite the Iron Triangle in Japan. That particular side of the Triangle can be pretty brutal.

Anyone know what the difference(s) are between the 2009 and 2014 DVD releases of Eureka Seven? Other than that one's published by Bandai and the other by Funimation.

#15397: Sep 16th 2014 at 8:32:10 AM

It's pretty much exactly the same. Can't determine if the Bandai release is more or less expensive now that it's out of print.

It seems that it was more expensive at one point, but it appears to be less expensive right now on Amazon.

They should take back the rights for Toriko, because their OVA for it was effin awesome and Shonen Jump was dumb for having Toei take over.
