It seems that TMS comissioned a brand new English dub for a select few episodes of Detective Conan. It's being done by Texas based studio called Studio Nano. If you remember the old dub by Funimation, Inspector Megure retains his voice actor from that dub and the old actress for Ran is now voicing Vermouth.


They dubbed the following episodes:
  • 1. The Roller Coaster Murder Case
  • 2. The Kidnapping of the Company President's Daughter
  • 128. Ten Gran Robbery of the Black Organization
  • 129. The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case (2-hour special)
  • 176-178. Re-encounter with the Black Organization
  • 230-231. Mysterious Passenger
Spot checking it, it seems like a decent enough dub. Nothing truly offensive but also nothing really sticking out. My biggest criticism is that it's far too few episodes and they skip out on episodes in particular that introduce characters (Detective Boys, Jodie) that play parts in the latter half of the episodes. They also skip an actual Black Organization case in episode 54.

As for more personal gripes, I really like Jerry Jewel's Shinichi/Jimmy Kudo and wish he could've returned in particular. Having him be Conan's inner monologue was an inspired choice that I wish other English dubs had done cause most if not all of the English voice actors for Conan do not sound convincing when doing Conan's "adult" voice. I think this dub should've done so as well. Maybe TMS now has a mandate where they can't do that?

If TMS wants Detective Conan dubbed to be a thing in the US then this is probably the way to go. Release batches of important/curated episodes and do that till you catch up.

I wanted to watch the new season of Yofukashi no Uta but already in the first episode, the translators could not help themselves.

Fan Subs > Offical Subs
I recommend downloading torrents from nyaa.si if you have a vpn and some storage space. They have pretty good fan-subs.

I remember 20 years ago, some other country like Thailand would translate, but those fansubs were poorly translated, like when people are getting killed the subs read "Wow" while they are screaming, or when someone got kidnapped, the people would say "She was robbed". What would fansubs from that era be like if used today?

Speaking of localizer shit,
I don't think it will ever happen,
But if the fact the official English translation for Yomi no Tsugai is Daemons of the Shadow Realm is enough to piss off a certain company that's gone after people in the past who've used words said company doesn't have the copyright for like "Imperial Guard", "Eldar", "Space Marine", etc,
That might be some of the funniest shit I've seen in awhile.
 
My favorite battle shonen slop is coming back, I'm gonna cry. The arc getting adapted next is imo the peak of the whole series and I'd put the battles that take place in it up there with the greats. It might not be as well written or complex as those who came before but I don't think anything oozes it's love for the battle shonen genre like Black Clover does.

The exact "Merry Christmas" scene in the preview image has one of the best uses of the Walmart Great Value brand soundalike version of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" (used as The Exorcist theme) in the entire series.

It's not Gabriel Dropout season 2 but that series' director Masahiko Ohta is working on another demon girl series for 2026 with The Demon King's Daughter Is Too Kind. (I haven't yet read the manga for that one so I have no idea how it compares to Gabriel Dropout.)


EDIT: I'm just giving that manga a quick look, it's also got a demon named "Jahy" in it but this one's more of a tutor/babysitter to Dou (the demon king's daughter) than she is the brown-skinned dark world queen turned tavern waitress that I usually associate with the name "Jahy".

why is there a 2nd season of reborn as vending machine but not another season of maid mafia?
Null was right, Anime is pure brainrot

also watched NHK for the first time, that show is pretty good.

New Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt had its world premiere at Anime Expo on Fourth of July and unsurprisingly, it leaked onto the internet within a matter of hours. Apparently multiple people had tried to record it but were kicked out, though someone livestreamed it and cut that part out.

Though barely watchable, I wanted to preserve it here for everyone's viewing pleasure:

None of those theories seem to be a good explanation for Death Game manga sex scenes though. The sex scenes are so frequent that the shock value factor isn't there anymore, Japan's filled with so much degenerate shit that they shouldn't have to put them into Death Games, and I can't see how people would get horny if they're trapped in a room with strangers and have to kill each other off to escape alive.

never forget the author's barely disguised fetish.
but keep in mind japan is another culture, they see sex and violence through a somewhat different lens than westerners that grew up under a christian morality for 2000 years. if you fuck your mate's gf you end up in hell.
not that it takes so long for that difference to form, just look at usa and europe. burgers have no issue with violence, while europe has. in return europe is for more chill regarding sexuality (for good or bad). that repression probably also explains why burgers have to sexualize bloody everything...
as for the horny in conjunction with violence - hormones. adrenaline does some weird shit, if you never got hit by a full blast because your body decided you needed it you'll have a lot of fun when it happens. and that's before going into the psychological effects.

or the author just wanted cheap shock value, who knows.

this is gonna sound incredibly weeb, but anime is often more "cerebral". that's a fart-huffing term that impresses redditors, but it's not wrong. in parts it's because it's a different medium (a stage play will be written differently than a screenplay, a book will tell the story differently than a movie), but like I said nips see things a bit different.
same reason NTR is more popular over there, westerners aren't that much into the emotional and psychological torture of it happening and more into "you fuck my girl I fuck you up". or why their escapism looks more like your average isekai. you could probably write a dozen different theses about that.
on the more uplifting side it's often about growth and overcoming hardship (school-settings especially), even the most bland battle-shonen or CGDCT has that morality somewhere. people laugh about the power of friendship defeating the villain, but not many think about what that really means.

I assume that's why asian media is becoming increasingly popular compared to western slop, the messages are more universal - and obviously not pozzed as fuck, the morality of the average western protagonist of current year is retarded as fuck, if not outright offensive. there's a reason the monomyth (or "sympathetic plot") is even older than christian morality. as much as I rag on niggercattle, subconsciously they still know the difference, even if they couldn't explain it.

EDIT: since that post sounds incredibly pretentious (especially as a reply regarding an anime about horse girls), this might explain more, and also why the nerds I talked about before obviously gravitate towards asian media:

Time: A Manga Is Causing Earthquake Panic in Japan (archive)
a years-old Japanese manga that claims a “megaquake”—those above a magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter scale—will strike on July 5 has generated panic and deterred some inbound travelers for the past several months.

The 2021 reprint of The Future I Saw by Ryo Tatsuki, a retired mangaka in her 70s, warns that a “huge” tsunami “three times the size” of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake will wash over countries in the Pacific Ocean. The first edition of the manga, published in 1999, had referred to a “great disaster” in March 2011 that coincided with the earthquake that killed more than 18,000 people and caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster.
