More dubs is always a good thing in terms of accessibility, but why this show? I can't see a dub of this show turning out well at all.

Maybe Cygames will bundle some more Granablue Fantasy codes with the English blu-ray release to get the mobage players to inflate the sales just like they did the Japanese blu-ray release. That's the only reason I can think of to justify this show getting a dub.

So I just started watching Domestic Girlfriend with my bros and I'm two episodes in. I can't tell if this is going to be another Scum's Wish or another Kiss x Sis.

Sorta neither. Kiss x Sis becomes fucking lost when the author realized the teacher/MC relationship would be way too normal and would lose the absolute degenerates, thus making the story even worse instead. Scum's Wish I haven't read, but from what people say about it, it kinda pussyfoots around actually being degenerate, and not a lot of the characters feel like scum other than the fact that they keep claiming that they are.

Domestic Kanojo is basically the typical tortured artist story. The main character pussyfoots around a bunch of potential relationships between his new step siblings each with their own issues that get resolved almost instantly after a single arc focusing on either, and eventually everything just kinda works out in the end. However, the MC didn't learn shit from the events that occur and is always a depressing, immature brat who keeps coming close to ruining all the shit that's placed on him on a silver platter. The story keeps attempting to portray him as this unfortunate soul who gains inspiration from the conflicts he finds himself in, but at the end of the day, his life is honestly not that bad and many times enviable.

I think the author just couldn't figure out how to make the MC's life go awry without making it too depressing and as a result the MC comes across as a Kirito-esque level of Gary Stu where no conflicts ever truly end up feeling like conflicts. As a result, the MC's progression in the story outside his pseudo-raunchy relationships between the sisters come across as vapid and uninspired with shit just kinda working out off-screen, since we never really see the stories that the MC writes. All we hear is "wow MC, you've improved and now deserve all these awards and a promising future. Also here's a perfect girlfriend, and all the other girls you meet are totally into you!" It makes you think maybe the author constantly loses track of the story he intended to write. Only if he was as capable at writing as his own character was.

All in all, a pretty terrible story, a dumb author, not even really watchable for the ero aspect of it since these scenes are incredibly few in between. Maybe if the main character was a bit of a pervert, it might've actually at least had some redeeming qualities, but there's just no clearly defined identity yet tries to sell itself as if it does. Just stop watching now, cuz I think you're already past most of the sex scenes, if that's what you might've been looking for

I think I'd been spoiled on comedy shorts or something, I tried watching nichijou sorta recently and basically all I was thinking the whole time was that it's constantly dragging and would have been way better with half length episodes. It's got good jokes but man the delivery was just killing me

Comedy anime I've realized are very hit or miss. Either it's hilarious throughout, or every joke falls flat and it ends up getting dropped after 2 episodes.

Nichijou is one of my faves though

I've found that trying to binge comedy anime is a bad idea. Comedy anime are best watched one or two episodes at a time, so the jokes don't go flat from overexposure too quickly. But yeah, they can also be hit-or-miss at times, and some kinds of humor may not be as funny to some people.

I disagree. Binged is the best, nonstop laughs.

Picked a random anime from my to watch list and so I started watching one called Ga-Rei: Zero. Just finished episode 4 and it's pretty good so far. Fun action scenes and music and I'm liking Kagura and Yomi a lot.

I assume you're talking about Star Twinkle Precure's Madoka, right? The one whose dad is basically an anime version of Tommy Lee Jones' character from Men In Black who takes hunting aliens way too seriously? Yeah, that guy's a jerk.

Ayy, I would have no reason to talk about neither Madoka Kaname nor Shinomiya Kaguya, as neither are best girls of their own show.

i always thought it was overrated. its funny yeah, but i wouldnt put it in the top comedies of all time imo. gotta reach detroit metal city levels of hilarious to be considered one of the tops.

but nichijou's animation is kyoani's best.

I watched the first episode of that Yuno mystery anime, about the kid whose dad discovered how to travel between dimensions?

Much like Island, I am intrigued by the plot but the really stupid shit that goes on in it bugs me (main character is lying down and his teacher comes up to him, he sees up her skirt and he comments, the teacher does nothing about it. Also her teaching uniform is fan service. The plot is interesting but the other stuff ruins it.

I'm super curious how well yuno's going to do both in terms of being a good show (with good reception) and being a good adaptation. The source material is a VN that came out in 1996 so it's crazy to me that it's getting an anime now

it's probably one of the most influential VNs ever and I guess it still has some of that clout since it's 26 epsiodes which seems crazy for a VN adaptation

I haven't seen today's episode yet, but I've been watching that show too because the premise sounded interesting. Coming in, I had no idea that it was based on such a famous eroge VN, nor that it was a two-cour series. Knowing those things now just makes it even more intriguing.

There it is. Its one of my favorite final boss themes. It just sounds beautiful and melancholic the whole way while still having bits of action and triumph in it.

Finished up that anime I started yesterday, Ga-Rei: Zero. It was surprisingly really damn good in most areas, and it's a shame it isn't way more popular. I don't know how the manga is, but Zero is a prequel to it and I really want to read it now.
