After the hacking of MAL a couple of days ago I'm no longer receiving notifications of posts in this thread even though it's set to notify me when a post is made.
Ah well, I stop by here often enough anyway.

There was that thing about season 2 of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, a new Magical Girl Raiding Project.
Supposedly another Date A Live and that thing with Spice and Wolf.

Hmm might be the Monogatari book, cause that will inevitably be animated given how popular the rest of the series is, but I don't know how it would work out given Hanamonogatari.
Unless it's another prequel, but Kizumonogatari pretty much sorted all that out unless it's about the 3 exorcists.
Didn't hear about a new Shana.
And I really hate Madoka.
But I am curious about the Silent Hill remake, supposedly number 2 is the best Silent Hill but after playing Resident Evil 0/1 and Amnesia the Dark Descent I can't help but feel that I shouldn't play puzzle games.
Cause I really suck at puzzles.

I gave playing MMOs a try that required fast net but the communities on such games are horrifyingly bad.
Pretty much all MMOs these days are single player games.
Unless of course you joined the game with friends, you should never expect anyone to be considerate or helpful when gaming.
Only thing I'm curious about with my internet connection is the state of streaming services, both legit and not so much.
But I believe the problem with those is more server location rather than internet speed.

And I just remembered the important upcoming show that I had forgotten about.
It was the second part of Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card.

Some real life updates: Last months I've been having my depression cycles again. This week I took it off just to get some R&R away from work. But there was a surprise heading my life.

I met a girl. It was a surprise from my Mother who introduced us together. Had a little dinner introducing each other, getting a little familiar together.

Today I got the good news: She got the approval of her family for us to be together.

Baby steps, but this has been the happiest I've ever been in my life in a very long time. My real evolution in life has just started.

Another thing I completely forgot about.
Seems the new Tenchi Muyo GXP OVA has started airing on Crunchyroll.
Supposedly it links the events from Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 4 and 5 together.
And also explains Paradise Island from the light novels.
But honestly, I hated 4 and 5 and have yet to watch the original GXP so I don't know how I feel about it.
Watched everything else though save for the older GXP and Tenchi in Tokyo.
I have them but have been thus far reluctant to watch.

Moments like these always make for a couple of giggles.
Like Cisqua in Elemental Gelade with her "The use of force" *sparkle*

In other news.
I actually started watching Sailor Moon.
I think I'll do it a season at a time to avoid burn out and shoujofication.
But it begs the question.
Save for death match mahou shoujo and fanservice based ones, is it possible for a true mahou shoujo show to be aimed at all audiences?
True mahou shoujo like sailor moon are aimed at young girls, but magical girl shows are almost ahead of mecha and cooking shows in regards to genres I don't have much experience with.
Like, I've never watched PreCure and PreTear, but I have watched most of the seasonal death match ones like Magical Spec Ops Asuka, Magical Girl Raising Project and Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
So is it even possible for a true magical girl show to be acceptable for all audiences and not just because of personal taste?

Another thing about Sailor Moon.
Nostalgia means nothing when the dub has gone through 3 different iterations.
Was a bit confused when I started watching it.
The characters don't sound anything like they did in my memories and the theme song was different (Not that this version I own has the english version) including the video itself, but supposedly that was because the original english dubbed version had too many spoilers in the first opening theme that it was rectified and the proper uncut Japanese version was used later.
And thus far it also seems to be the proper uncut version because I'm pretty sure Zoisite was made female in the older English version, but in this version Zoisite is male.
My nostalgia failing me could also be because a later season was aired on Cartoon Network/whatever television station was playing it in New Zealand at the time, I can't remember that well because I was like 6 or 7 at the time.

I take it as a challenge.
Trying to make proper quotes without fudging something.
Kinda like seeing a gif from a show and trying to figure out the show without using reverse image search.
It was fun last night trying to organize the hairstyle hunt cause quoting yourself is really odd.

SHINOBI-03 said:

I don't think so, I think it was the Toonami/Cartoon Network Dub.
Honestly I can't really tell, because I don't remember whether or not Toonami or Cartoon Network shows appeared on standard television back in 1996/1997.
But to be frank, other than a few random moments I can't remember anything from before 2000 when I moved to the South Island.
There's two games that have been eluding me for over 20 years now.
One was a horror demo for PS1 and the other was an old Commodore 64/Amiga game on floppy disk that had a kickass soundtrack for a vertical shooter.
But the current dub for Usagi and most of the Dark World denizens sound weird to me.
And the opening seems weird, but like I said before, it could just be for another season.
But it sounds right, but it's in Japanese, so it could be that I did first hear the DiC dub, because that version spoiled pretty much everything about S1 in the very first opening for the first episode.
But that's ok, because save for Inuyasha and Pokemon I prefer watching sub.

So in addition to the old DiC dub and the uncut Viz dub the third dub is the edited version of the Viz dub for TV?

I agree.
But it is a tradition and the little extra time it takes to sort the quotes out is nothing like the times when Crunchyroll broke and we had to do everything via manual BBCode inputs.
I actually developed something like muscle memory when it came to posting during those times.
Like when Wigflip died all those times and we had to use different sources.

SHINOBI-03 said:

If I read things correctly there was the DiC dub, the Cartoon Network/Toonami Dub and now the Viz media dub.
I'm not sure which one is which other than the one I have is the uncut Viz dub.
I think the Viz dub was done in 2017 or somewhere around there.
But I'm just pleased that the version I bought was not the "Sensible for American audiences" version.
Nothing pisses me off more than censorship due to foreign sensibilities.

Provided you think there's anything official about Sentai Filmworks translations and notes.
Salty joke aside, yes it is from HiDive.
The show itself is quite dark, couldn't really tell that from the promo trailer I saw on one of my dvd collections, barring the name of the show itself.
I find new shows to watch from the dvd and blu-ray trailers from my collection.
I've watched so much now that it's getting hard to find shows that aren't huge disappointments.

Seitokai Yakuindomo S2 OVA

I also started reading the Spice and Wolf LN series.
And I'm only a chapter in and it feels so satisfying reading a book that wasn't manga after all this time.
And it's also more gratifying than when I was reading Strawberry Panic.
I've also been keeping up with the fanslations of Parallel Paradise and I can say that I'm glad I didn't start buying the series, even with the shitty translation job every second chapter.
I don't get why people translate manga when they can't even speak English properly.

In darker news.
New Zealand is turning into America at an alarming pace.
In the last 7 days there have been 5 stabbings,2 of which were fatal in my part of town, 1 case of a group of people driving around firing shots at Hotels/Motels and businesses as they go past, 3 violent unarmed assaults, 2 assaults with guns and one break in to an old person's home where the burglar beat the ever loving shit out of the old lady who was living there while her grandkids were staying over and ripped out her breathing tube so she died.
But he will get caught, because he took his shoes off before he went inside, realized that she had died after having her breathing tube ripped out and fled without his shoes.
And that's only in the city I live in.
In the North Island there have been even more shootings,violent break ins, ram raids, assaults on dairies and gang related violence because a couple of Australian gangs have come over here and started fighting with the local gangs.

There used to be a time when I was proud to be a New Zealander.
And now the only difference between us and America are the fact that no cops have been done for murdering coloured folk yet and the obvious size of our countries.

About that date...

The date itself went well. What happened afterwards was...

We've both decided to do couple's blood tests just in case to see if we were biologically compatible. An hour after the test I received a call telling me to go the hospital immediately. Why? My test results showed a dangerously low count of platelets in my system because my immunity decided to hate my platelets for a reason. It was so severe that I was forced to stay in hospital for the last two days taking frequent blood samples and feeding insulin and steroids in my veins and the pills I had to take to weaken my immune system. Luckily the treatment worked so I was discharged today but I'm now stuck with the many pills and tablets I need to take for the next month.

Where was this from Cells at Work?


On a very better news, not only I never had Type-2 Diabetes all these years, but the biological compatibility test results came clean: We are fit for a healthy life style.

The camera in question makes gunshot noises every time you use it.
Which leads to a funny moment where the quiet boy saves the day by chasing the evil skinless/headless chickens around while taking photos of them.

I also watched Gugure! Kokkuri-san.
It was really fun to watch.
But, the problem was with Sentai's captions, the inserts for explaining gags and the translations.
They even used an Urban Dictionary term to explain what one of the phantoms was.
I don't get it.
Sentai Filmworks is a big name in the anime licensing and distribution scene.
So why do that fudge so many simple things?
Why can't they get competent translators?
Trying to report problems to Sentai and HiDive is even more pointless than trying to get a decent result out of Funimation.

On the topic of Funimation.
Remember when I said I made that ticket to Crunchyroll about Tonikawa?
That was all going fine except that didn't update me for a month, and then I said when they got back to me that I was having problems authenticating my account for the new website so I couldn't make posts on anything other than the old forum news articles.
They resolved that immediately and then CLOSED my ticket calling it resolved.
So I made a new ticket last week and haven't even got a confirmation that it has been received.
Things are quickly turning to shit ever since Funimation took over.
First they bought AnimeLab from Madman removing the ONLY streaming service that Australia and New Zealand had that was specifically ours with no problems with show availability.
And now they have Crunchyroll resulting in the forums going away and their customer service turning to total shit.

SHINOBI-03 said:

I'd love to say it can't but that would be jinxing everyone.
But I mean, other than rewinding and subtitles HiDive works ok for not having been updated for 4-5 years, at least as far as the xbox app goes.
Supposedly it's been about a year or two since the mobile/chromecast whatever it is app has been updated.
But contacting customer service for anything other than account problems is pointless because they just direct you to a form you can fill out to make suggestions so they aren't listening either.
I guess Sentai cares more about physical releases than their streaming platform.
It really is such a shame they have so many old shows and unlike Sony they are willing to license shows that make your grandparents pass out.

Works fine for me.
I just copy the BBCode from Imgur when I upload images and copy the direct to forum/message board threads.

And for the first time in years there are some interesting anime/manga releases for my birth month.
Volume 8 of Interspecies Reviewers, Volume 24 of the Spice and Wolf LN, physical release of Non Non Biyori S3 or the movie,can't remember and a brand new Re-release of Gunbuster collectors edition which has artbook and producer interview.
Already pre-ordered it, I hope they re-release Daibuster too.
Would be nice to cut down all the shows I would have to watch on fansub sites.

Also turns out that KyoAni has announced they will be opening their store for anime merch worldwide.

On another Crunchyroll topic, you know about the instances when episodes are using the subtitles from a different show? You know why this error keeps happening without correcting it before release times? Today I found out why. The reason is because none of the people handling this stuff are allowed to watch said episodes. The editors slab whatever they're receiving but are not allowed to watch the video to see if it's matching or not and the reason is to prevent content leaks. The only staff allowed to watch before the simulcast are the translators. Anybody else is prohibited from it, and due to this no one can run a quick quality check to see if they got the right files. They go as blind as the average viewer.

On another Crunchyroll topic, you know about the instances when episodes are using the subtitles from a different show? You know why this error keeps happening without correcting it before release times? Today I found out why. The reason is because none of the people handling this stuff are allowed to watch said episodes.

I've never run into a problem with shows on Crunchyroll other than availability.
That being said, I don't watch seasonal shows unless it's something I've been waiting on for donkeys.
From my experience, I've only ever had show problems from HiDive and Funimation.
But if that's right, it honestly doesn't make sense.
However, with Funimation and Sony holding the reins I can't wait for the time when subtitles fall off shows and episodes get swapped around.
Did you know that in this seasons release calendar several links to shows were swapped around?
But that was only for the news article, the video page was correct however.

On the subject of Crunchyroll however.
It seems that Amazon is slowly relinquishing it's hold on certain shows.
This morning Crunchyroll managed to get the license for Season 1 of Jashin-chan Dropkick.

Oh, and they closed my first ticket for Tonikawa: Over the Moon For You after resolving my problem with my account not being authenticated on the new website.
Without resolving the primary reason why my ticket was placed.
So I placed another ticket yesterday morning.
And got the usual "We need to escalate this ticket to a Crunchyroll specialist".
So I guess I'll have to wait another two months till they can find another issue unrelated to my ticket so they can close it again and pat themselves on the back thinking they have done a good job.

I was wondering if you hadn't of wound up in a situation like the first episode of Highschool DxD.
But such are the times and you do what you gotta do.
It's so cold I've been sleeping an awful lot.
Also caught a cold.
Originally thought it was because while I was in town my cat was going berserk on my bed rolling around shedding his winter coat all over my sheets and pillow so I'd been huffing cat fur for the past 3 days.
But I felt a little better since I lint rolled the place (I'm allergic to animal fur but I still own a cat) but it's been 4 days and I still have a runny nose and a cough.
So I did a covid test earlier and it's negative so that rules that out.
But usually I get over colds in a day or two.


Seitokai Yakuindomo S2 OVA

Also been binge watching Dropkick on my Devil.
Season 1 was fine, save for none of the characters being actually introduced, they were just there, so I was wondering whether or not Crunchyroll pulled a Funimation and goofed up the video order.
Then Season 2 had a brief introduction of how the characters met, which was pointless to have in S2.
And now Season 3 is full of social media and pop culture references.

Also don't know what to do after I finish Sailor Moon R and Promise of the Rose.
Got the two Seitokai Yakuindomo movies to watch.
But I also kinda wanna get started on Lupin the Third.
But I also recently bought Comic Party and Magic Knight Rayearth.
But I also haven't rewatched Kara no Kyoukai (which cost a lot to get).
Also noticed I haven't rewatched Excel Saga, Black Lagoon, Witchblade, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, Cowboy Bebop or RahXephon in a long time.
Although I also have a tonne of shows in my collection I haven't watched yet.

On the topic of Sailor Moon however.
I finally sussed out why watching it wasn't triggering any nostalgia for me.
When it aired in New Zealand it wasn't Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S, Sailor Moon Super S or Sailor Moon Sailor Stars.
It was just flat out Sailor Moon.
But when I started watching R and Usagi got her power up for the new bad guys I instantly recognized her new outfit.
I also have to say the naming conventions of older anime leave a lot to be desired.
Her new wand has a really silly name but I can't remember it anymore cause she only said it's name once.
But yea, problem solved.
When I was a kid I watched one of the later seasons on TV and not the original first season.
Also the theme song is different because original Japanese version.
But the music is the same.

First time in what it appears as an eternity that I had a good sleep. Just another footnote for this eventual year.

A long time ago I was bitching about the price of Legend of Dragoon and how people wanted upwards of $300 for the original PAL ps1 game?
It came out on PS4 and PS5 4 months ago.
It was buggy as all hell when it first came out.
But it's supposedly fixed now.
And like the re-released of the older Final Fantasy games, it also has a rewind function now for if you screw up.
And unlike the re-releases of the older Final Fantasy games, Legend of Dragoon is only $15 when it's not on sale.
I only just found out it was released yesterday xD
Cause I gave up checking for it in the hopes it would be added to PSNow.

I also finished Season 2 of Sailor Moon.
But save for the bad guys at the very start of the season the later villains were really halfassed and lackluster.
I'm starting to dread the "Freak of the week" shtick for 3 more seasons.
I also really feel like rewatching Cardcaptor Sakura.

Spice and Wolf is coming back. Original voices included! The new art is closer to the light novel. Don't screw it up.

We already discussed this when we were last talking about surprising upcoming releases.
Haven't heard anything about the new Panty and Stocking project though.
Not that I get much in the way of anime news now that Crunchyroll finally reworked the old News page to match the new website.
It's horrifyingly ugly and annoying to navigate now.

So I take it the date was a bust huh?
