    i don't know if i'd seen it posted around here but the chainsawman talk reminded me that the last episode's ED got its own music video, and it rules (make sure to stick around for the credits)

    Some anime have had edited lip flaps I'm pretty sure bit it is very rare. I think it only happens when a release is expected to have a big impact overseas and that, like, the studio is actually banking on that.

    As for Chainsawman... yeah that's crazy news on the sales. I thought it was a pretty bold adaptation where you could tell so much love for the series got put in it.

    I’m pretty sure the thing I hate the most about CSM is their fans.

    CSM has officially entered the Rick and Morty zone for me. There’s no reason why that adaptation with so much love and quality of a beloved product sold so low.

    I feel like CSM as a property was overhyped for what we got, but goddamn was it an incredible adaptation.

    It’s a weird place to be in as an anime only.

    The thing about the 4Kids One Piece dub is that what made it awful wasn’t the censorship. As goofy as hammer guns and super soakers and lollipops were, I get why they had to do that.

    The issue was the voice direction and script. Most of the voices were atrocious, and the few that sounded fine were still acted poorly. And every second line had to be some joke or pun regardless of the situation. OP has a lot of silly comedy but it also has a lot of drama and pathos, and 4Kids made sure you couldn’t take a single second of anything seriously.

    I think the original DBZ, Sailor Moon, and Pokemon dubs are proof that you can still produce a watchable product even with all the censorship. Those are all rough around the edges, but still have charm and care put into them.

    Its weird looking back I hated the voice for the original sailor moon but now when I watch modern sailor moon it just sounds wrong without it

    I mean aside from being wayyyy too horny, western fans are pretty positive on CSM da anime. Even I as someone who thinks they could have done better still think it's a 8/10 even on the worst episodes and it deserves the success it has gotten over here. But I think Japanese fans, especially the ones who troll Twitter (aka the terminally online) made up their minds based on some things the director has said about the adaptation early on even before it started airing

    Is it possible people just don't buy DVDs anymore?

    Bocchi the Rock V1 sold Seventeen Thousand BD/DVD copies the first week.

    The best one piece edit was when they changed a pistol pointed at a boys head to a contraption that ended with a big ol’ garishly colored hammer

    Yep, got to love the whole "Pointing guns at a child's head and threatening to shoot them is bad! So we're going to replace that with a setup that doesn't just look clownish, but make the audience imagine an even messier end result."
    Dubs have been good for like 15 years at least now.

    I’m so tired of the old “English VAs don’t have emotion” argument cause it’s basically never true.

    Like many things, it's a mixed bag. For every good dub, you have a few really bad ones.

    Nah.

    The vast majority of modern dubs are good and many are great.

    Bad ones are relatively rare. And have been for some time.

    Most of the problems I have with modern dubs usually boil down to poor voice direction and/or subpar localization, which in turn I believe are exacerbated by the expected turnaround for a dub being shorter than ever now.

    I wonder how much of it is that the plot of CSM doesn't really get into top form until the second half that they haven't animated yet? At least, I didn't get much into the manga until midway through what will be the second season when shit started to really pop off. Maybe I'm overestimating the effect.

    I read something in response to that thing about CSM sales that they're a bit skewed cause they don't include the Mappa special edition that has a bunch of extra stuff included. Which is sold out fwiw.

    Did it have anything neat?

    I find that crazy, given how much Season 1 pops off at Gunfire.

    yeah the first half was interesting enough but it didn't really grab me until I saw some spoilers for later, thinking I didn't care about the series. Then I caught up on it and was hooked.

    Chainsawman's main plot is actually Denji and his roommates and coworkers stupid hijinks.

    When it comes to stuff from Jump I feel like manga volume sales is a bigger indicator of successful anime.

    Eve using their massive music video budget to just make AMV's of their OC's is so good

    Dubs basically peaked at Samurai Pizza Cats. Everyone else just wishes they could reach such heights.

    Regarding CSM... While it was good, I think the overall feeling I walked away with was I didn't really have the urge to rewatch any of it? I rewatch stuff a lot as well, so it isn't like that's my default.

    I don't want to overhype it at all, but the next two arcs of CSM are absolutely exponentially better than the first season arc. Like it goes x2 and then ^2 on you.

    Any amount of hype can be overhyping something tbh

    I just try and not buy into hype anymore. I like it better when I get to be surprised when something is good!
