Ugh. The promo for this went up yesterday and it seemed pretty good. And now Sentai has it. Sad

Oh well, less awesome-tier for them to license I guess Confused .

I don't see what's wrong this show getting license by Sentai. Is there something about the company that isn't good?

Actually, there's a lot of things I don't like about Sentai, and FYI I have bought two of their releases, in one purchase that is. That was my first and last purchase from Sentai.

The subs are, from the experience I have got from the two releases I bought, utterly horrible. The dubs, don't even get me started. I'm already ridiculously picky when it comes to dubs, and Sentai's dub work does not help. Not to mention they seem to like to push their prices. Just saw one of their newer releases go for 69.99$, with no new content added. Most of their other releases go for 59.99$ and a few even go as low as 49.99$.

I see them as the EA of anime distribution companies. While they may be large, and put out a lot of releases, the quality is far from what they're charging us for, and it sure doesn't feel like they put a lot of passion into their work.

While I'm glad that this got picked up, I REALLY hate these localized titles. Mad

But Sentai Filmworks is tiny...If Sentai Filmworks were the EA of anime distribution companies than, to get the size right, Funimation would have to be the United States Federal Government lol.

I'm not liking the character design in this show. As is par for the moeblob course, if they were to draw the "little sister" at the same height as the other 2 girls and with clothes that fit then she'd be indistinguishable from them despite the age/puberty gap. End the moeblob madness.

All I'm saying is that I fear they'll turn her "siscon and lolicon issues" into a running gag. A running gag that won't be even remotely funny and that'll probably be gross. And not the "actually pretty funny" kind of gross, but the "oh god why would you even do this" kind of gross.

Don't like that I may not share the same sense of humor that you do? Tough titties. It should go without saying at this point (or at all, let's be honest), but "Comedy is the most subjective form of entertainment".

Oh, and I most definitely will be watching it, kthks

Yeah, I really don't care about your sense of humor nor whether or not you decide to watch the show. If you want to watch something that features elements that you don't like, that is your decision (just don't bug everyone else about the fact that you hate those elements so much).

I see. I don't know about how they handle subtitles as I can't recall watching a show license from them (It's only recently I think that I stated paying more attention to what company is licensing what show), and the only companies I can think of that made terrible dubs were 4kids and those other companies that dub Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura. Also I don't care personally whether a DVD has content or not (that's more like a bonus though if a certain DVD, or even a blur ray has a certain feature I want to see I'll consider it buying it). All I care is getting my show/movie). I'll think I'll just wait and see how this goes, and give their product a try to see for myself.

For the nature of this show, I think the character designs fit it perfectly. Plus I think the fact the little sister wears clothes that are too big for her is part of her character which might lead to being apart of her charm. I understand if you don't like how the characters looks, but I don't see it as being a problem. It might be one thing though if this was a more serious anime.
