Gangsta

Me. I'm excited knowing a dub is prolly happening 4-8 sub eps later. On that same note @Supernatural-Knight I know this is the new release club but what say u to opening a Dub discussion thread since the dubs from Funi last Spring were coming out while the sub was airing, just 4-8 weeks behind the sub thus making them a new release as well? Maybe see if the group likes this and would partake?

 

@Supernatural-Knight
The dub is never the exact same thing, mostly sure, but certain words are said differently, meant differently, and the VA are different too. For example, while everyone in the sub/raw of S;G sounds great/good/ok, Okabe, our MC sounds god awful when he does his mad scientist laugh, which happens...a lot. But in the dub they all sound great/good and Okabe's English VA does one hell of a mad scientist laugh, but sub/raw, makes me cringe when I hear his laugh. -_-

Further more, as you've said, unless the dub airs at the same time as the sub, this would mean 1 discussion thread and, that for those who wish to watch an anime dubbed and are waiting on said dub, are GOING to be missing out on the discussions of the anime if there's no dub thread for us to discuss it in. I mean, for example (if allowed) what if DB Super had won and was an activity? Many of us here like Meta and myself don't like Goku's VA in the raw/sub and are trying to wait for the dub, is it right anyone should miss out on discussing a series? Should we have to spoil ourselves just to start discussing with others for when we get to see it? No. So I don't believe it is pointless to have a dub and a sub discussion thread as long as the dub is airing at some point along side the sub but even so, if this doesn't at least make you reconsider, then there's nothing more I can say/do but, thank you for considering it no matter how much/long it was.

 

@Natsuru-san , you can just make a new thread for a dub discussion in the regular anime section, right? Just tell the sub watchers to not spoil or not come there. Same for the DB Super one. Although i'm not sure how long it'll take for a dub for that to come out. Haven't heard anything about it but haven't searched for it either.

Anyway, i'm gonna suprise @Supernatural-Knight by saying i am watching Gangsta as a weekly. I think i can manage this one and DB Super, just have to lessen Gintama, which is the bad news i have for you Only 2 eps less in a week than usual though, but there you have the exact problem i have with weeklys now, i can watch like 5/6 Gintama eps per week, every weekly i watch is minus 1 Gintama ep.

So for the first ep, it was decent. I like the long haired guy character, i like Nicolas' skills, i'm not a big fan of him being deaf though. But him screaming to get his point across to the cops was badass. I like the setting, working together with the police, bribing them, the killing, the violence, i like it all. Just can't say it's great yet though.
This show has been compared to Black Lagoon multiple times. I can see why, but i don't think it will be as good. We will see though. It had a good start overall.

 

God, you have no idea how much I agree with this. I still like dubs, but a LOT of the new dubs have been terrible, especially anything that gets simulcast. The sound quality tends to be shit. I honestly don't see why they don't wait a little bit.


As for my thoughts on the show, I had downloaded it but the subs were so terrible, I had no idea what the hell was going on, so I didn't finish it. I'll probably look for a torrent tomorrow if I remember.

 

The Space Dandy dub was fine. Or maybe its cuz i barely watch dubs.

2nd ep.. It was good. Alot of violence again, we got to know abit more about the dogtags. I still don't like the fact that Nicolas is deaf, sometimes people talk to him without handsigns and he seemed to understand.
A happy elementary school girl joined the show. This doesn't fit in with a gangster themed show, but okay. Still can't say it will be a true masterpiece.
