"Kobano?" What's that? Seems that it slipped under my radar. Unless of course, you meant Kobato.

Mondays it will be Haruka and Heaven's Lost Disciple. Wednesdays will be Asura Cryin. Thursdays will have Shippuden. Fridays will have Bantorra. Sundays will be Erin and Natsu no Arashi. My plate of fall anime is looking good for servings. More anime we watch legitimately on CrunchyRoll and other places, there's a chance of less fansubs. I know that to be a good thing.

I just watched ep 00 of KG2, and based on that it looks like its gonna be pretty kewl. And if that's what the soundtrack is gonna be like, then I say "hellz yes!" Its lookin' like the wait will pay off. I'm hoping that FUNi will stream that one, since they have the first series, BUT if I remember correctly, the KG project switched studios, so who knows... |

Book of Bantorra's opening.
I hate it. Same singer in Code Geass' second opening? The first opening was one of the best in anime history, anything that came after would be pretty much crappy. She also ruined Requiem for the Phantom's opening. The first opening's song was great. Alright, I'll make it clearer. Her songs all sound the same, it doesn't feel any different no matter how much I try listening. Opening is really important, so stop ruining it with your songs. I don't hate you, but please stop showing up in anime that I like. Thanks a lot. |

Kampfer is directed by the same person who directed Kyoran Kazoku Nikki? It features a guy who changes into a magical girl? Well, I've got to at least try it, then.

whats wrong with fansubs? fansubs offer a quality of subtitles that the industry could never hope to achieve. one thing that fansubs have that industry subs don't, is the instant peer-criticism. with industry subs you don't have leechers coming in 5 minutes after your release going "lol, you typo'd 3 minutes in, and had 10 mistake in the whole ep". the professional subbers don't have to listen to that, and i doubt they would care. because they're subbing things they're not interested in, and at the end of the day regardless of how many typos or grammatical errors they had in their episodes, they still get their paycheck. this constant, instant ridicule for mistakes leads the groups to iron out future mistakes, and they raise their quality. or it'll lead to the creation of a group who thinks they can do it better. which then leads to the competitiveness of groups. industry subbers don't have to worry about whether people are going to archive their release. because it's the only legit release. but with fansubs, i know a lot of people complain about "over-subbing" , but that over subbing is a good thing. because it gives the consumers choice. and when groups are competing, it leads them to aim for higher quality, which gets you, the consumer, a better end product.
A..Ali Project? i first liked them because of their Shigofumi OP, and i loved their Avenger OST, but after getting a bunch of their albums i'm kinda burned out on them atm :\ |

So that's their name... welcome to my black list, muahaha (as if I had one).
Kampfer episode one - A lot of fanservice, as expected. The story doesn't seem bad, at least better than Princess Lover for sure. The characters are more attracting than Princess Lover's as well. Book of Bantorra - Despite having that opening the story seems really promising, but just like Bamboo said in her preview, I'm not sold out yet. Despite having a sexy leader (as Key said), I found that girl from the soul book a lot more interesting. |

In the absence of any official streaming or other method to bring Anime to the masses, fansubs are acceptable to use (providing you don't think they are the devil). However, whether they are any better than official subs in terms of speed, translation, quality et cetera is not a debate we need to hold here. |

To assume makes an ass out of u and me. Cynicism != cold, hard facts. I'd forgotten about Book of Bantorra. That actually looks interesting, and I'll definitely give it a chance. |

Do not start a fansub debate. Keep the thread focused on the anime and their content. Any post that continues to insinuate beyond this one will probably get deleted, so don't waste your efforts here. If you're still desperate to argue, do it in the Anime forum.

Ali Project did a great soundtrack for Avenger, but I have to agree at least a little with whoever said they have only one song and use it for all the OP/ED themes they do. The ones I've heard so far do sound alike.

Um, I just noticed this, but the tiger plushie from Kämpfer, well his intestines actually look like a pink human penis. The pictures of the series in both Summer Mullins' and Theron Martin's columns have the tiger in such a way that it looks, well, as I said it did up top. Seriously, check it yourself. If I hadn't read the reviews themselves I would have not known about the intestines and been, er, rather more shocked than I currently am. I'm wondering if it wasn't a deliberate in-joke or prank by an animator or the production staff as a whole . . .

Uh, I beg to differ. Looks like entrails to me.

In Key's picture, they look pretty clearly like entrails to me. I've never seen a penis that folds back on itself. As for Summers, I didn't notice it at all until you mentioned it. Again, that would be an awkward fold if it were a penis. Yay, Railgun! |
