Funimation has started a Kickstarter to try and give Escaflowne a new dub:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...b-for-the-clas I'm all for the new dub and I hope this succeeds. Some of the rewards are pretty awesome, but I just don't have the money for this sort of thing. |

Funimation is using a kickstarter now? I can understand Animeigo doing kickstarters since they are way smaller company and they don't have the money to pick up new titles like they used too. However Funimation is one of the biggest anime companies in the US. I don't know about you, but it seems odd for them to do this.

A new Full Metal Panic anime? Cool beans; I've read about how the story progressed in the light novels and it's some interesting sci-fi. I'm curious to see if this will be done the justice it deserves or not.
@Guyver Spawn: Escaflowne so needs a new dub, but you have to remember anime just isn't as big these days. Funi doing a Kickstarter may not seem like good business sense, but when you factor in how much dubs cost, as well as the work hours that go into said dubs I can see why they would do this. Here's hoping ol' Escaflowne gets new life with a dub that allows it to reach a new audience as well as reconnect with old fans too. Since we're talking Esca here's its intro: EDIT: Yes I'm aware that there are more means to get anime these days, but it's just not as prevalent in the public couscous as it once was. Again I'm rooting for both the Esca redub and the new FMP to do well.

I know dubbing takes up a lot of work, but Funimation never use Kickstarter when they would redub DBZ. I feel like big companies using Kickstarter comes off greedy to me.
As for recent anime that I watched, I watch Battle Royal High School (not to be confused with Battle Royale) with a group of friends. The plot makes no sense, but it's still very fun to watch. Very over the top and gory. Imagine if Fist of the North Star was set in a High School. I seen it before last year and it was fun watching it again. The whole anime has a lot of random scenes that made my friends go WTF at different times . Quote:

I think it is an interesting idea to get a dub to something niche, which Escaflowne is. It's just not equitable enough to warrant doing a new dub. We'll see how it goes. My problem is what happens to the money of those who join in if the Kickstarter fails? Do they forfeit their money? Or will they get the amount refunded?

Surely it would get refunded? You don't pay on Kickstarter until the allotted time period is over.

Extremely happy that Symphogear's confirmed to be getting both a 4th and a 5th season. Figured they'd get another, but not two in one shot.

So the current season is in its last stretch now, one month to go...
Divine Gate is increasingly and amazingly terrible. Before it was mostly just the plot, characters, and just...really, wow, the entire thing. Episode 7 is one of the worst things I have ever seen. Lately the art and animation has also dipped into the idea of being awful too, though, so hey, thanks, studio pierrot. Seriously. In the latest episode an entire scene remained static while a character on screen, without moving his mouth at all, spoke. A bit later one character started talking, but mid sentence they stopped animating her and the character next to her started moving her mouth. It was pretty amazing. It's good though, it's so bad it's worth laughing about. So hey, ha ha. Dimension W, on the other hand, is pretty bad, but just bad enough to be bad. It's just...bland with super archetypal characters with the most typical voice actors. I don't like its art direction and none of its plots mean anything to me. Man this anime displeases me. Koukaku no Pandora isn't any good. I don't really like it and I kinda wish I weren't watching it, but it's largely inoffensive. It's more not good than it is actually bad. Art is, though. Thankfully those three are the only ones I'm watching this time that are pretty meritless. I started watching World Trigger again, since the filler's over, and well, it's World Trigger. Fairly dragged and padded out, but not horrible. Assassination Classroom has been pretty good, but it still doesn't really do much for me. I don't care a lot about either but neither is bad. Durarara has been kind of losing me, too...it's...fine, but man where did their art and animation budget go. And I just...don't know. It's been like a year since x2 started, I wonder if I would be more invested if they'd just aired the whole thing last year. Dagashi Kashi, Oshiete Galko-chan and Sekkou Boys are all pretty fun. None are exactly mindblowing pieces of art, but they're pretty entertaining and funny all the same. And Erased is, of course, still pretty great. The climax is coming soon and I can't wait for it to be resolved. I just hope it's worth it. |

Dimension W was on Toonami last night and I thought it was pretty cool so far.
