The New Release Club's General discussion

Agreed, Life Sexy = Ian Sinclair, dunno about the other 2 but here's an idea:

Life Cool = J. Michael Tatum
Life Beauty = Greg Ayres

 

OH OH OH!

Colleen Clinkenbeard for the fucking teacher, that'll be so hooot.

Jamie Marchi must be in this cast too, I don't care where she can be the god damn tomboy for all I care just let her play a god damn lesbian she seems to enjoy doing perverted roles.

 

I am completely confused by this. I don't see it being a very good dub and don't really see how they would market it. And when they do release it, will they still call it Yurikuma or would they translate the title.

Anyway only thing I watched was Garo and I'm still enjoying it a lot. Tried to watch Kantai Collection. Got 3 minutes in and it was too weird for me.

 

Well they're announcing all their dubs one by one so we'll have to wait and see.

 

I thought it was quite fitting...
... a shit dub for a shit series.

Also for anyone watching Rolling Girls (Unless I'm the only one) they've announced new Cast Members:

Spoiler: New Characters

If you're curious, from left to right in the image:
Misa Ichijō: Mai Nakahara (I feel quite good about this)
Mamechiyo: Saori Hayami
Shutendōji: Katsuyuki Konishi

 

And on this day, Wit Studio gave me something I have not seen in 2 years.

Hotblooded Seiyufu

Log Horizon Season 2 has been rather boring lately. Sure it's always been more about talking than action and character development. But for season 1 it was still stuff that had high stakes in a sense. Resorting Akihabara, making peace with the people of the land, and fighting a quest who's "Dooms day" timer ran out. If they weren't fighting they were at least doing to talking about something intersting. But this recent arc has mostly just been following those kids and while some of it was interesting a lot of it feels like it's building to something that won't even pay off until next season and I keep finding myself missing Shiroe and the rest.

It's funny because season 2 is technically doing the same pace and everything that season 1 did. It's just the part of the plot it happens to be on is kind of a low point. This is a point where I feel they would have benefited from condensing things a little in order to focus more on the interesting stuff. As it is it's not exactly bad especially if you already like the series. But it's just not really exciting either.

 

Who's gonna watch Gakkou Gurashi in Summer?

 

*raises hand*
I will probably end up watching 90% of the new stuff...again..and again...

 

You know after watching that scene and a few other pictures and videos of it, I think I'll go ahead and watch Rolling Girls later on, since if there's one thing I like about anime is action, epic fighting and crazy epic fighting, that and also good comedy and other stuff

 

NO MOM YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
The most important part of that scene was hotblooded seiyufu

I actually just finished catching up to the manga... my feelings

 

Well Deen was really just in charge of animation right? As far as the animation goes I think I liked season 1's better but season 2 was passable in that part. Again as far as the running out of steam goes to me one of the problems is they are just coasting along through a slow part of the plot. In an LN slow parts like this are fine as they allow for character development and let readers just casually read for a while. But for an anime there needs to be more going on because it relies more on visuals. Because looking at the plot some series shit is going to go down eventually so the plot hasn't run out of ideas. But it's just taking a lot of time to build up to the big moment and seems to just be buying time for that. Like with the kids while a lot of it was just them casually walking along there was foreshadowing all throughout it.

The other problem for me is simply we haven't had our main team all season. When the season started Shiroe and Log Horizon split up to deal with various things and when that ends we spent some time on random stuff before going with the kids on their quest. So we haven't seen Shiroe, Akatsuki, and the big guy (forgot his name) actually do anything as a team and even individually we kept cutting from one thing to another so we nver got to enjoy them for long and it was their banter and how they worked off each other that made for a lot of the comedy in season 1.

Season 2 is that odd thing that isn't bad but still dissapointing. It didn't "miss the point of what made the last season great" exactly or any of the other things you can normally say about a disappointing season. While the plot is kind of slow at the moment and they aren't focusing on the best characters shows of this type are always like this at times. It's just this time it's stretching out for pretty much an entire season making instead of just occasionally. So if anything I could say it didn't pace itself well but I think that's a fault with the source material mostly.

 

I'm not sure if I'm liking Garo anymore. Last episode was so... bad and I've been noticing a trend in the series since the second half started and I don't like this trend.

Watched the second episode of Rolling Girls and I'm still enjoying it quite a bit.

 

whoa..it's heavy eh? i might have to read it too then

 

I'd say read a bit of the manga.

Aww dude, once you start you can't stop.

 

can i haz romance please

 

No romance sorry.

 

I feel the same. Log Horizon is just barely holding onto my attention to keep me watching.

I'm loving The Rolling Girls. One of my favorite this season.
