#simuldubs

I get WHY they exist, but like, I think everyone's beef with dubs would go away if studios were given more time to make better casting, translation, and directing decisions without having to rush the releases, y'know?

There are five shows I decided to give the three episode test to via their Funimation simuldubs.  I'm afraid I don't feel like I have any super extreme opinions on any of them yet.  I may of course try more shows later. Code:Realize A Reverse Harem Visual Novel adaptation that also appeals to my Tales of The Shadowmen related interests.  It was the one I was most guaranteed to check out. The show is not possible to imagine as compatible with the original literary canons of the characters.  But it has been fun so far, and so I will definitely watch episode 4 tomorrow. Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World My knowledge of the original Kino's Journey Anime is mostly only via watching SFDebris reviews of it.  I learned about the Gender Ambiguity of Kino's character when I read Vrai's piece on the pilot back when only it's Sub was available, so I knew the plot of episode 1 going in. I have enjoyed all three episodes, and it may please Vrai to know that the Dub has not used any Gendered pronouns of Kino so far.  Still, I generally don't think this is my kind of show, so I have my doubts I'll stick with it. Anime Gataris. This is the least likely show I'll drop, it's not on par with Lucky Star but it's still a pretty fun Anime about talking about Anime show.  If Lucky Star and Yuru Yuri are the main kind of Anime you like, this is your show for this season. A Sister's All You Need Now if my blog has any followers, you may recall me explicitly telling people NOT to watch this show in my post titled It's Americans who don't know what real Teenager look like. That was advice for normies, I'm not a normie, I watched all of Eromanga-Sensei and found some value in it, though I couldn't make it three episodes into Oreimo.  So I did decide to give this show three episodes to see what I think. So far, I'm still unsure about much of it.  Nothing has been on par with the opening fantasy in over the top creepiness.  I like the MC's two females friends and their interactions.  What really confuses me is the MC's younger sibling.  The plot description says they're female, they have a female voice actor.  But all the MC's friends seem to think they're a boy.  If all this dodging leading to is a generic "Samus is a Girl" moment, I'll be fairly annoyed.  But I can't help but suspect it's that rather then any attempt to really explore Gender Identity with the character. Recovery of an MMO Junkie This show is interesting, I have no particular thoughts yet. Off Topic Post Script Read more »

I’m so excited to talk about some of my favorite shows from this season!

Yuri is braver when motivated by something or someone he loves.

Yuri is way gayer for Yuri because it’s more in the dialog. Also,Yuri’s family and friends seem friendlier than the japenese subs would suggest. The Madonna of the ice castle is also cool since she supports Yuri being a MOGAI nerd for Viktor. I can totally understand why everyone loves him, because he’s more constructive than his own coach, being a skater too and his russian-english accent is super hot.

I have to say that the Assassination Classroom dub is pretty good but the Tokyo Ghoul dub is still unsatisfying. Funimation is still doing new episodes of the dubs on their dubbletalk from their website. If you are subscriber, you are free to go see their dubs. Though I don't have the money yet to do that.
