I'd really prefer dubs btw Then scratch the Revue Starlight and Symphogear suggestions, because Revue's dub isn't very good and Symphogear doesn't have a dub. Here are some other recommendations, all of which (IMO) are at least pretty good anime with pretty good dubs: A Certain Magical Index (and its spin-off, A Certain Scientific Railgun) Black Lagoon BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense D-Frag!

| Calwings 01/29/21 10:44:32 PM #424 | LordFarquad1312 posted... Saw some youtuber spend 24k gems without a single Jun and it sucked my will to live. I just did the math. 24k jewels gets you 160 individual pulls in this game, and with 160 pulls and a 0.7% rate to pull the rate-up character, you have a 67.5% chance to pull at least one copy. Of course, that also means you have a 32.5% chance of not pulling any. To put that into perspective: The move Focus Blast in Pokemon is infamously nicknamed and memed as "Focus Miss" because pretty much no one trusts its accuracy... and it has a 70% accuracy with a 30% chance to miss, which is better odds to hit than that person had at pulling Jun in 160 pulls. So yeah, I'm not pulling for anything until I have enough for a spark. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/urDb8LF |

| Calwings 01/29/21 9:34:11 PM #419 | Eab1990 posted... Yes, those are limited. PriFes also has doubled rates, so saving up for a spark is usually worth it anyway. Duly noted. My goal is to have 45k jewels in hand for the release of both Peco variants and Grea, just in case I get unlucky and need to spark any of them. I'm at 21k right now and not pulling until Summer Peco arrives, so do you think I can make it to 45k before she comes? LordFarquad1312 posted...

The only characters I like enough that I would actually go all the way to spark them are Grea (who I know isn't limited) and new variants of Pecorine.

| Calwings 01/29/21 7:20:34 PM #406 | Funkydog posted... Pretty much every other gacha I've played and seen stays at the same pace as its original JP/CN/whatever version, just however much time behind it is. Woulda been nice to have more at the start, but I don't have oodles of free time so prefer it as it is currently myself. I'm in the complete opposite boat. The majority of the gachas that I've played global versions of have made some sort of conscious effort to have the global version move quicker and get closer behind JP. Some have done well and survived, like Revue Starlight ReLIVE and Girls' Frontline, while some have failed horribly, like the aforementioned Magia Record. The only ones I've played that didn't rush global to catch up are the ones that launched in JP and global at the same time and didn't have a choice, like Fire Emblem Heroes and Tales Of Crestoria. I've actually never played a gacha whose global version released later and didn't try to catch up, so if PriConne decides to take it slow and maintain the same pace as JP, that would honestly be a refreshing change of pace for me. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/urDb8LF |

| Calwings 01/29/21 6:37:52 PM #401 | legendarylemur posted... It's ok for a game to be like a month or even half a year bh tbh. PAD and Arknights are 2 good examples. But 3 years? That's really pushing it. If you accelerate a month of being bh, then you run into the situation where localization isn't on the same pace and people can't get used to a sudden halt in progress. But 3 years of content that you accelerate will not catch up to JP within a year or 2, and considering they have banners for like 2* characters and shit, it's not a stretch to say they should combine a few of the 3* and 2* banners lol. I heavily doubt those 2* banner weeks are profitable. That may all be true. If Crunchyroll can hit the right balance where they pick up the pace compared to JP but don't rush it way too much, then that would obviously be the best option. But I'm not sure they're capable of hitting that right balance, and of the two extreme options (following JP exactly like FGO or rushing too fast like MagiReco) I'd much prefer the slower one that I haven't been personally burned by in the past. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/ORhDSgu |

I actually can't believe they might do a 2 week cycle, when gachas do this to actually give themselves reasonable time to create content. I already explained this before, and I doubt it's going to change... Calwings posted... They're not going to catch up. I think PriConne is going to pull the FGO plan and follow basically the exact schedule as JP did (with maybe some holidays shifted slightly because global started in January 2021 while JP started in February 2018) and constantly stay about three years behind. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/urDb8LF |

| Calwings 01/29/21 10:41:44 AM #358 | It's official now. D4DJ is my anime of the year, so here's best girl Maho asserting her dominance over all of the other inferior anime of 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX-avoBQ8qs The lovable characters, the interactions and development between them, the flawless comedic timing, the excellent animation, the beautifully hype music... right up through the final medley of the last episode today, I had the biggest, stupidest smile on my face. This show was so consistently fun all the way through, and I'm legitimately having a hard time thinking of any noticeable flaw in this show. I'll give it more thought in the next couple of weeks, but there's a very real chance that D4DJ just became only the eighth anime that I've ever given a perfect 10/10 score.

I've mentioned it before that rank X with full equipment gives better stats than rank X+1 with no equipment or only 1-2 pieces. The only exception might be going from rank 6 to rank 7, because rank 7 unlocks a girl's EX skill that gives a massive stat boost once you pump mana into leveling it up. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/ORhDSgu |

Milim (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) Kururun (the seal mascot) = Aimi Tanaka Umaru (Himouto! Umaru-chan) Also, the OP is going to be sung by Machico, who's most famous for singing the Konosuba OP's. Between how unusually stacked the cast is and how great (IMO) the character designs look, I'm hyped for this series. I think the Precure franchise is about to rebound in a big way after how "meh" Healin' Good has been this past year. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/ORhDSgu |

Muggsy was always referred to as Muggsy, to the point where the nickname basically became his default name and his given name was never mentioned at all. For all of the others besides Muggsy and Coco, they had their nicknames, but their given names were still what was used the majority of the time in the broadcasts and media. But for Muggsy and Coco, the vast majority of fans have no idea what their real names even are without googling them.
