Huh. Did not know that.


I kind of have an idea involving five characters, each generic to a big name in anime's style and tropes, all waddling through various anime plots.

I got this idea because I wondered what would happen if a Gen Urobuchi-style character, a Kiyohiko Azuma-style character and an Akira Toriyama-style character all lived together under one roof.

That actually sounds really fun.

How so? It's more of a redesign like the one Beelzemon had.

Kill La Kill 04.

It's impressive that the episode channelling Deadman Wonderland is the least interesting. Then again I heard the Deadman Wonderland manga never made for a particularly good anime in the first place...

It also didn't help that the shows budget seemed to go down the pan this episode. Awful, awful animation. It had all the ugly cartooniness of the show, with none of the awesome style that usually makes this show look so great.

PLUS it directly undermined all the great development from the last episode as well. Fuck this episode.

So I've just burned my way through half the available episodes of Samurai Flamenco in about a day. And all I can say is DAMN. Show goes from fun and interesting to off the wall crazy awesome at episode 7. Loving every minute.

Kill La Kill 5.

With the introduction of this badass Trigger guy and a general return to form for the animation and action, I'm really hoping that last episode was just a rare - and hopefully one time - misstep.

Right now my only concern is tone, anime has made the most ridiculous stuff badass in the past - look at Prince of Tennis - but at some points this show gets REALLY silly and still tries to push it as badass without a single moment of irony. It normally manages to reign it back in, but if it feels like we're teetering on the edge this early, then I'm kinda worried. Either way, as of right now, Sengetsu is one BADASS sailor uniform. Haha.

Well that and a confusing shift in terminology, why are Godrobes now translated as 'Kamui' or is that something else entirely? The whole Nudist Beach conversation in general left me spinning as I honestly had no idea what they were talking about, they kept bring up terms which were translated as Japanese words like the one above like we're supposed to know what they are. I didn't know, unless I've just not been paying attention.

"Godrobe" is what kamui roughly translates as, so whatever sub you're using obviously decided to go all literal with it and then suddenly change their mind.

That would explain it. I used Underwater for the first four episodes, but when I saw Horrible Subs were doing 1080 releases I switched to them. But I'd rather stick to Underwater's 720 releases and get a better translation.

[ZeoRangerV]

"Better" is kinda subjective here, since Underwater's are fansubs while Horriblesubs are rips of the "official" version (i.e. the Aniplex/Crunchyroll/whatever one). Underwater's is more literal yeah, but the official term in the show is Kamui.

But I know how you feel about names and things so I'll just leave it at that

You know I love my literal translations
