It's rather sad that anime fans won't let other anime fans like things any more. People are getting really crazy with the hate lately. This forum is starting to get angrier and more hate-filled too.

I can't get past how many times I've read a post about how much someone hates a paticular genre (it's almost always moe) and when pressed admits they've never actually watched any of the shows that they are hating on. A lot of people will take one look at Nanoha and say "I hate that crap" without even watching so much as a trailer for it. The character designs alone are enough for some to hate it.

If it's to have any chance at all here in R1 land (where liking anime makes you a freak and liking anime with cuteness or young girls makes you a freak to anime fans) then it needs the English dub. It also needs people to actually give the material a chance rather than a knee-jerk cover reaction.


Haven't really seen anyone here really bash it for the genre. I agree that it WILL get bashed but I think people watching it will be really surprised. Its not standard fare for the magical girl shows and has ALOT of action that will really catch people off guard. Plus the show gets dark as hell.

I mean the whole story behind Fate is just freaking awesome in how messed up it is.

lol It's the transformation scenes, regardless of how few there are and how dark the story is. They'll raise a few eyebrows for the uninitiated Razz

I never considered the series dark at all. I did, however, find it to be very melodramatic. More so than a lot of other Magical Girl shows out there, but I'm no expert in that area of anime so I don't know for sure. I forced myself through the first two seasons and the first episode of the third season and hated the series, but I don't think it's a bad show. It has its merits. Must be pretty popular if it went on as long as it did and is getting more animated content.

Some may be wondering why I watched the series even though I hated it..... Well... I'm just strange, that's why. Sometimes I enjoy hating things.

Again, there is no-one for them to say "no" to, since Geneon are still authoring the discs - FUNimation are just distributing them. It also wasn't dubbed by Odex - the company responsible has never been named but you can meet a bunch of the cast membershere.
I didn't make myself clear enough. I meant that they'd had Odex do some of their dubbing before.

Also, Geneon isn't a single person or group of absolutely like minded people. It's possible (due to human idiocy) for someone higher up the food chain to say no to a dub for reasons that likely wouldn't make sense or no reason at all.
