Any opinions "12 deeds to unite a princess" and "Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity to an Android?"

Not gonna lie, it was really weird in the last Panty and Stocking episode how Panty just had her tits out with no censorship.

The powers of Amazon has cock blocked the censors. Literally. Trigger has been given a blank check to do whatever the fuck they want. The episode was nuts with the western comic half episode.

Yet Mr. Beast's new anime has gotten 720k views

Face it - anime might not be so Japanese in the future

Even his voice acting is completely soulless. Mr Beast isn't a person anymore he's just a caricature of unchecked corporate consumerism manifested into reality

Nipples galore? I honestly don't remember there being nipples in the first season, everything was very strategic in avoiding that, usually an arm or some foreground object.
 
New Kagurabachi chapter 89 is so good. It's just glorified lore dumping, but if you're a huge fan like me, it's fan service to know-
-How the cloud gouger got acquired. And how Misaka became Thor in Endgame. Probably a reference to it knowing Hokazono loves his capeshit.

Also, the color page, so good. The Kagurabachi colors Black Red Blue and White
 
This fight has some cool animations. I am not the most knowledgeable about One Piece, but that's such a thing in this anime, to have weird & comical abilities, like the guy stretching his dino-face to attack.

Is that anime, or ""anime""*

*western cartoon imitating very surface-level aspects
Pretty much the latter. Probably a paycheck job for Titmouse (or whoever's producing the animation)

The guys behind Robot Chicken are making it (Archive)
Produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios (Robot Chicken) and helmed by Sam Levine (writer/director for Wreck-It Ralph and DC League of Super-Pets), the 2D animation is aimed at kids, though older fans are clearly along for the ride too.

Once again, been talking about this shit since the unfresh prince's dress-wearing "son" was getting netflix ""anime"" made for him. Those poor, poor, poor...... poor, animators.

Is this what they call the slippery slope?
 
So Vinland Saga ended and the ending is actually...good?!

(Spoilers Obviously)
The author actually walked back a lot of the things I complained about, and the story thankfully didn't go in the direction I was dreading it would. The last three chapters (217-220) almost felt like a personal apology to me which was nice.

The author didn't pull anything out of his ass to resolve the war peacefully. The Nords ended up taking too many casualties, and were outnumbered and backed into a corner. The Lnu won the conflict and the Nords had to go back to Iceland, like how a real conflict of this sort would end. Thorfinn's attempts at peace did not cross the vast cultural divide between the two groups of people.

Einar ended up taking part in the defense and killed someone. He regretted it, but at no point was he portrayed as wrong for what he did. He was a good man who tried to make the best of a horrible situation.

Even Cordelia the troon and Hild the girlboss had to admit that they came extremely close to resorting to violence. In the end, Thorfinn is just happy that Einar understood the pain he was going through after having taken so many lives.

I'm happy that the author decided to end it here rather than try to push it further.

Would I actually recommend Vinland Saga now? Probably not, but chapters 1-100 are still amazingly good.

That's good to hear. The first two arcs are a top 3 for me, and it fell off hard after that. I felt like it became a feel-good comfort read. Gone were all the morally complex and tragic characters and anti-heroes, beautiful ruminations on life and love, and well-earned character development and growth. What I got was cute baby, a pseudo-fantasy troll and a hulking trans viking that had all their fellow 11th century vikings cry about how stunning and brave they are.

I did like Hild and Siggy, tho.
 
I know I'm extremely late to the dub/sub tard fight awhile ago, but the one thing (besides the obvious localizing shit) that sticks with me against dubs is they take it too seriously.
If any of you of seen clips of Japanese VAs talk normally via radio shows, events, etc. some can sound a hell of a lot different if you just went by their anime roles (even some VAs know for more grounded roles can sounded noticeably different). And some English VAs don't even try to change how they sound and try to sound as "grounded" or "realistic" as possible like their acting on some old HBO drama and not some dumb Chinese cartoon.

Good example someone I know brought up is what a dub would sound like if instead of the usual crop of dub actors they got people like Peter Cullen, Tom Kenny, James Arnold Taylor, Jim Cummings, and other people who mainly voice in western shows and movies (hell if Michael Kramer or Kate Reading ever gets cast in an anime dub, I might listen to that because of morbid curiosity because I have listened to god knows how many hours of them narrating audiobooks)
 
Is Windbreaker constant feel good bait? I liked Season 1 but season 2 feels like its really layering it on heavy

That would be wonderful, the problem is the union, and anime for the most part is not licensed by unionized companies. This is why Netflix is such a double-edged sword because they're unionized and therefore can afford the good actors if they wanted to, but they can also cheapen out and the performance suffers for it. FFS look at Evangelion and how they just outright refused to put in the money to get rights to Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon" even though Evangelion had covers done by the seiyuus themselves, and that honestly fucks with the flow (nevermind the QUALITY voice work).

So essentially, whomever is in charge of the ADR needs to actually give a shit about directing the VAs in order for quality to stand out, and if you have a drama queen who's not cooperating, petition for someone else because that's how much you care about your job. But "dub work" is beneath so many of these people that that's why the quality suffers.
