It's a novel from... 2015, I think? Also released alongside a toy line.

The anime is supposedly original material, just based on the same franchise.

Is it an anime original series or based on something?

As the previous poster said, the franchise originally started as a line of figures and there are also two light novel stories, but the anime will most likely be an original story. I'm mostly excited for it because it's more "cute girls doing action things" animated by the same studio that did Madoka Magica.

I was going to start Railgun T myself but I'll probably wait on that since I heard the second half is delayed until July.

They made it to the end of the first major arc that this season was going to cover (Daihasei Festival) before they delayed the second major arc (Dream Ranker) to July, so they at least reached a good stopping point in the story to not leave a massive cliffhanger. The English simuldub is still 6 episodes behind though, so you're definitely better off waiting if you'd rather watch it dubbed. But if you're going to watch it subbed, I don't see a reason to not at least watch that first arc they have done.

Planning to watch in Japanese so I may just watch up to that point and wait after all.

I did check out clips of the dub and it seemed pretty solid. Even though it was a huge departure from the sub I liked Kuroko's English voice from what I heard.

I've been watching the whole franchise (Index, Railgun, and Accelerator) dubbed and I think it has a great dub overall. Touma, Misaka, Accelerator, and most of the supporting cast sound really good.

My favorite thing about the dub is that Brittney Karbowski voices all of the different versions of Misaka by herself, unlike in the Japanese version where they all have different voice actresses. Despite them having such drastically different personalities (Mikoto's tomboyishness, the Sisters' emotionless deadpan, Last Order's innocent hyperactivity, and Worst's psychotic battle lust) they're still *Index/Railgun spoilers* literally biological clones of the same character so it makes sense for them to have the same voice, and Karbowski shows some incredible range by voicing them all on her own. In fact, this is actually the show/franchise that solidified her as my #1 favorite English dub voice actress. She's awesome.

There seems to be a lot of rumors swirling around that it has something to do with Microsoft. They're nothing more than rumors at this point, but it would kind of suck if they were bought out by MS or something because I was totally going to skip Xbox next gen due to barely ever touching my Xbox One for the past several years, and generally losing interest in Microsoft's gaming franchises. But all of Sega's games being only on it would pretty much force me to get the next Xbox, or at least build a gaming PC, neither of which I was really wanting to do.

I watched the Made in Abyss movie featuring Bondrewd

Not as good as the series itself, but I gave Season 1 a 10 and the movie a 9.

I'm with you there tbh. Microsoft + Sega would have been a good match back in OG Xbox days but I don't dig the idea in current year at all.
I've seen a lot of speculation about new hardware too, which IMO would stand the biggest chance of shaking up the industry's status quo. A console would be cool but personally I'd love it if they brought out a new handheld. Might just be a pipe dream but I guess all we can do is wait and see next week <_<

It's a magical girl isekai spin-off (wtf) of the long-running Cardfight Vanguard franchise, and the first episode aired today after being delayed by over a month due to the pandemic. I've never watched a second of CFVG before (my experience with card game anime is just Yu-Gi-Oh and WIXOSS) and I only started watching this for the magical girls and the idea of mixing card game anime and magical girl anime together. The comedy was an unexpected surprise though, because I thought the first episode was hilarious.

Lol poor Ibuki. He's like the biggest straight man in the entire Vanguard universe. I might have to watch this after all.

A lot of ppl found Emi annoying pre-time skip in Vanguard though lmao. Mostly because her voice actress' voice is so squeaky. Ppl have actually opted out of using Bermuda Triangle in Vanguard Zero because they didn't wanna have to deal with her voice. I've only found out it was a thing after Zero

Sentai Filmworks is doing that "go back and dub a show that's nearly a decade old but didn't have a dub yet" thing again. First Kampfer, then To Love Ru, now they've announced an English dub release for The Pet Girl Of Sakurasou. I've had a mild interest in the show but just never got around to it, so it getting a dub now just moved its priority up a bit.

https://www.sentaifilmworks.com/a/news/sentai-official-august-2020-slate

For the yuri lovers, Fragtime is also getting a dub in this same batch of releases.


Pet girl would be infinitely better if it was yuri

Lol supposedly in Vanguard If, Morikawa, the comic relief Joey Wheeler-esque ex-bully who built the deck of the coolest and rarest monsters he can find that made for a deck that literally doesn't work within the ruleset of Vanguard, has a very brief scene where he discovers his importance to the season had already run out.

They're just going ultra meta with Vanguard If. If the people responsible for If is the same staff from the chibi short gag spin-off of Vanguard called MiniVan, then this entire season should be hysterical. Their comedy is on point

I actually finished volume 1 of Orphen when it was free to read last month.

Though it was fun, but also felt pretty unusual, like it's an end of one big adventure instead of the very beginning.
Pretty curious about how the storyline with Azalie will go though. I think I heard that each volume is a self-contained arc, with that storyline getting main focus every few volumes, so it might persist through the whole first series as the central conflict.

Yep lul good old Morikawa. The running joke is that his friends once swapped his deck with an actual usable deck used by one of the characters and almost beat the main character at his prime. He's Joey Wheeler but never actually develops to be an actual duelist

Is it known yet if Gleipnir will be more than one cour? It looks like it has a decent budget so unfortunately I'm only expecting one.

Also properly started Cardcaptor Sakura. Kero speaks in Kansai-ben which is pretty cool. Sounds like Majima from Yakuza except in small animal magical girl familiar form.

It's kind of early. I'd say wait until either the topic gets to around 490 or the end of the night tonight, whichever comes first. But if you aren't going to be available later today, then I guess it's fine.

Famitsu comes out on the 4th IIRC, but leaks are usually seen day before. So probably later in the day/early night.

Personally I never had a Sega system but over the years I've played a lot of their games thru collections and ports. Phantasy Star, Streets of Rage and Virtual-On are some of my favorites.
