  1. I was looking forward to Konosuba season 3, but it seems that Crunchyroll isn't releasing a dubbed version?
  2. I think I can. I do see scenes in anime and immediately think "that's been done via CGI". I can't be sure if there is CGI out there that I have mistakenly thought was hand drawn though.
  3. Some of my favorites: Order of the Stick: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html The Whiteboard: https://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb001.html (Note that the style changes a few comics in).
  4. I've been watching it having read the first few manga volumes. That image you used isn't very indicitve though - it makes it look like Maomao is some kind martial artist walking into the fight of her life.
  5. I just finished season 1 of Yuru camp on Crunchyroll. I was disappointed to see they don't have an English dub for season 2.
  6. I tried a Google search. Dragonball itself has never featured Christmas, but Dr Slump has and the two are officially set in the same reality so technically yes.
  7. I think I saw a small clip of the dubbed version once. I stayed well clear of it though as it sounded like a travesty. The original is a classic though.
  8. Just about all of them. The watery card IIRC does try it's hard at drowning someone IIRC. The jump card makes a really bad attempt at attacking Sakura. Other that that I can't think of any that made a serious attempt.
  9. You might want to rewatch that series. I think you might be miscounting or misremembering the number of cards with homicidal tendencies.
  10. I've been to Japan a few times and learned very little about religion and mythology there. Most of what I've learned is from anime, manga and video games. The Naruto series is interesting as quite a few of the special powers refer to their their gods or mythologies.
  11. I'm in Australia so that might be why it's not on Crunchyroll for me. Thanks.
  12. Many years ago I used to buy the dubbed Sgt. Frog anime one DVD. Then they stopped producing dubs - I think it might have been a licensing issue perhaps. I'm not sure if they ever resumed producing them. Does anyone know one way or another? Also, is there any streaming service that has them? Wikipedia says Crunchyroll but I can't find it on their site.
  13. I'm not sure I'd agree. The first NGE ended so vaguely it's hard to be sure what happened from my recollection. The more recent remake did have a lot of devastation but things were looking up in the end.
  14. Well, there is Ariel from "Is this a zombie?". She isn't technically middle age as she is suspected to be over 100 years old. But I'd guessing magical girls aren't supposed to age past being a teenager. To some extent you could also include Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura - or more specifically her cameo appearances in XXXHolic/Tsubasa: Reservior Chronicle as she is old enough to have had children by that point.
  15. I've been trying to watch the new GXP series. It's hard going - much like the later seasons of Tenchi Muyo. The main problem being it includes people/events from the novels and I keep having trouble following who/what they are talking about. Anyway, my vote if for Mari Tomita from Air Gear. Despite being constantly being paranoid that men are going to molest her, she has a tendency to act very erotically.
  16. Sounds a bit like Isekai Transporter: https://mangakakalot.com/read-dp8xn158504983443
  17. I think it's supposed to be Lunch. A lot of the characters in Dragon Ball have a food based naming scheme.
  18. I'm going to say Momoka and Tamama from Sgt. Frog. Both vary between innocent and polite to being homidical - generally it's a matter of having their rage button pushed though.
  19. Does anyone know how many episodes Naruto went for if you cut out all of the filler episodes?
  20. I know two decades ago that political correctness wasn't nearly as prevelant as it is today. But how the [insert expletive here] did that dub ever get approved?
  21. I tried starting to watch One Piece on Crunchyroll (lord knows how long it would take to catch up). For some reason it kept changing my language preference to Spanish so I gave up.
  22. My preferences run in this order: 1) A well done dub - ie. skilled, professional voice actors that fit the character 2) A well done sub - ie. subtitled text is an accurate translation and has correct spelling and grammar 3) A badly done dub - ie. Poor audio quality or mediocre voice actors 4) A badly done sub. - Spelling and/or grammar seem to have been done by someone barely familiar with the language I'll highlight a failure that pushed one anime from a 1) to a 3) in my mind - the Negima!? anime, For some reason, they made Negi sound like a snooty young English professor. This was annoying by itself, but especially irksome since his character he grew up in Wales, not England. To make things worse, Evangeline sounded like a haughty English noblewoman. She was't English either though. They never indicate where she was from exactly but eastern europe would be more likely. If I have one minor peeve it's that some type 1) anime still has voice acting where you can't quite make out what someone is saying on occasion. Switching on the subtitles doesn't help since they are a translation of the japanese dialog and not the localised dialog that the actor is speaking.
  23. From: Is this a zombie "You've already graduated from high school? Why am I always drawn to forbidden love?" Tulio Orito "It's especially forbidden by me" Ariel
  24. The wiki page seems to indicate that the new one was effectively her daughter just with all of her memories and powers: https://tenchi.fandom.com/wiki/Ryo-Ohki She certainly acts childlike while growing up.
