bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Interesting acquisitions. I'm surprised they went after Eyeshield 21. Sports anime and a very high episode count. Hope it works out for them. |
 |
| That sounds great. Can't wait to see how Eyeshield 21 will work out. |
| Awesome- ES21! |

| Quite good choices, especially with Eyeshield and Jigoku~ |
| Haruhi = Win! |
| I don't quite get what what is happening here... Is it that we will get blue-rays for those series? Bcs Eyeshield 21 have lots of lq episodes... :1 YA-HA! |
| Oh awesome someone finally acquired Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori hopefully its the same cast as first season. |
| Yes, Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori!! Finally. I've waited for it. Definitely my favorite season. |
 |
iday12 said: i love when they acquire everything i've never heard of and will probably never watch Same here. i've heard of Eyeshield 21, though, and i've saw the first series of jigoku Shoujo, but I won't buy the DVDs of them. They just don't really appeal much to me, i guess ^^; |
| hopefully they dub them instead of doing crappy sub only releases |

However, Sentai have yet to produce a dub for their titles so if it that was what you were asking for. hypersonic124 said: hopefully they dub them instead of doing crappy sub only releases lololol, yeah. Who is stupid enough to watch anime in japanese? |

| OMG, if they dun Asu no Yoichi, I'd love to say how they would translate some of that dialogue... |

Slykain said: Whoomp said: hypersonic124 said: hopefully they dub them instead of doing crappy sub only releases lololol, yeah. Who is stupid enough to watch anime in japanese? I really hope this is sarcasm. No, I actually like my anime to be in french, or Arabic if possible... of course I am sarcastic. The thing I don't like about dubs is the fact that they help to keep the general consensus about "anime is for kids" alive. Because when importing cartoons that is meant for a younger audience you have to dub it into English because the of intended audience requires it. I see no reason for dubbing longer series with a more narrow appeal such as Jigoku Shojo or Clannad since they are meant for an age group that can read and probably have an attention-span that is greater than 5 minutes. You rarely see foreign movies that aren't mean for kids being dubbed right? So why should anime? I am personally all for this sub-only strategy many companies have begun, since I don't listen to it I am glad I don't have to pay extra to get it. And before anyone brings up dub-only releases there is an huge difference between the two. With sub-only there already is an audio-track that just needs subtitles while with dub-only they are ignoring something that already exists and puts a huge amount of extra money into creating something new. Geneon would probably have managed to stay in the biz a while longer if they wouldn't have insisted on dubbing stuff that only would appeal to hardcore-fans which generally don't care about if a dub is there or not, such as Popotan and Strawberry Marshmallow. |

| I really doubt these series will make enough profit (-_-) |

| ok |
| Makes sense to acquire an anime about football, and JS is just a lot like american tv (shows like CSI, Cold Case etc (a.k.a case-of-week show, in this case death-of-the-week ?). Asu no Yuichi is just meh. |

Woah, cool. I didnt knew something like this is going on. |

| Goddammit. I hate it when they release DVDs only in sub. I wanna hear Kikuri's voice in dub. :| FUNimation, why the slowness? Hurry and get Mitsuganae before Sentai does... |

| Well Sentai hired the guy that translated season one to do the dubs for Hell Girl at least. I am dissapointed it won't be dubbed but I honestly didn't really like the show. As for Eyeshield 21, sports anime don't work in America, Funimation just talked about how set one of Big Windup! only sold about 1000 copies, sub only makes sense for it. Asu no Yoitsu is too niche to get a dub in this new Sentai. And Appleseed is not only dubbed, it is getting a new dub by the group that did Ex Machina(they did a better job than the first one), yeah it is pointless but it is a dub. Not a bad slate, really just disappointed in Funi for not grabbing season 2, Sentai gets a thumbs up for this set(unlike not dubbing Gintama which I am not for) |

Ash-Falls-Town said: Bernkastroll said: FUNimation, why the slowness? Hurry and get Mitsuganae before Sentai does... FUNimation actually has first choice when it comes to licenses. This isn't a case of FUNimation being slower than Sentai but of FUNimation giving up on Hell Girl and a Hell Girl dub. Sentai is just picking up the slack to the best of their "unable to dub" ability. That's depressing. I've lost all respect for Funi. :/ |
hypersonic124 said: hopefully they dub them instead of doing crappy sub only releases This may sound stupid, but this is the first time I've heard of "sub only releases". I thought only dubbed anime got released! O_o every single anime I've saw in HMV is dubbed! |
| Interesting... Its nice to see a variety of shows being brought over. |
 |
| haizzz... dubs, sth i cant stand for life.. |
| will Asu no Yoichi be in ENglish |
 |
| Why does Appleseed need to be redubbed exactly? I mean, it wasn't a very good movie, but the original dub of it is perfectly fine. |
 |
| That's weird. I'm guessing the Eyeshield dub they showed on Toonami Jetstream for the short while was scrapped? Oh well, that's life. Section23 is alright. I mean they are releasing Gintama over here, and that's probably one of the toughest series I see being big in the US. Either way I'll check out the DVD's and see how they go. As for Asu no Yoichi............what? |
 |
| Good to see Jigoku Shoujo Season 2 is finally coming to DVD in the states. And I hate dubs anyway so I'm glad Sentai does Subs-only. |
