| Fall has been ruined. But hey that PV looked very good. |
Just watch anime instead of looking at forums |
| crap, I was waiting for this, well, can't do anything but wait for 2022 |
    |
| The good thing is that we have more time to read the novels. Mukuro is so cute on this PV omg |
 |
| And I was really looking forward to this too but on the plus side, the production of s4 is looking great. |
 |
| It's funny to remember that once upon a time this franchise was just a silly sci-fi harem with no big ambitions. |
 |
| First it was Shield Hero, now this. |
| Shame on the delay, but at least the PV already looks better than the whole of S3 did. I rather that they take their time, instead of giving us disappointing quality again. |
 |
| A shame we gotta wait until 2022, but I was very impressed with the PV. DAL is in good hands and I'm glad they did it justice compared to S3. Can't wait for it |

 |
| No matter how long it takes, i'm gonna wait for this ._. |
 |
| it really sucks this got delayed, and i'm irritated about that. plus i wish that there was a Season listed in DAL S4 2022 like 'Shield Hero S2' got in its delay announcement. but! if Mr. Jun from GeekToys is the boss? whew, i loved their job on the Date A Bullet movies... that was some kick-ass work! so, if they need more time to do some more buttkicking in a TV format? and if that PV is any indication of their EARLY releasable scenes?! stuff that Mr. Jun thinks is OK to show and ready for the public?! this is going to be the best TV season for DAL yet! i bet the folks at Funimation are drooling over that PV and are heating up the contracts to get all... AND I DO HOPE ALL!! the English staff back into DAL and HOPEFULLY! back into the studios in Texas and recording some in-house quality stuff! i love love Funi's 'DubFromHome' program and i'm just damn happy they're keeping SOME form of schedule... but if Railgun S3 from Funi was any indication... and FireForceS2... and the few episodes of other shows here and there i watched dubbed since COVID stuck the Funi staff in their houses... there's ALOT of work that needs to be done with the talents' home-studios and the PC programs to improve recording quality, organizing, scheduling, the staff's workloads and production schedules... to put out shows in some form of reasonable timeline in comparison to the Japanese episodes' releases. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
