Shelf Life - Edo Eights and Heartbreak

Maybe the VA who did onsakamaru , and THAT'S a big maybe.

It's on par with the finer dubs Funimation has been putting out lately.

Bullshit. Animaze's Trigun dub is better than pretty much every dub Funimation's ever done, with the exception of Baccano.

As for as Vash "trying too hard", he doesn't. In fact, he tries to be a goof and succeeds really well.

She mostly talked about how she didn't like Vash, and didn't talk much about the show or why she made it Shelf Worthy (which it is, but I hope it was made Shelf Worthy for a good reason and not just because.) She also only talked about the animation and how it didn't hold up.... She didn't even talk about the premise or the story like she did for the other two reviews. Needless to say, I just didn't get the review.

Edit: As for Trigun, I remember in highschool thinking that Vash the Stampede was incredibly cool. I watched the first couple episodes, loved them, and then very quickly lost interest, as it seemed like the show was going nowhere. Maybe it's time to dig the DVDs that are hidden somewhere in the house and give it another try.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think Oh Edo Rocket is totally deserving of a Shelf Worthy rating, but I roll my eyes in exaggerated fashion at your implied claim that knowing to shout Tamaya and Kagiya during fireworks is somehow a virtually unknown aspect of Japanese culture. You've been to Japan Erin, please don't pretend that you're ignorant of these things. It's alright to admit that you're a raging otaku.

Hey Erin, about the PS3 having no games, yea it actually has more exclusive games than any other system(the 360 has games that are in the PC so i don't count that as exclusive). Do some research and you will see what i mean.

erin's opinions are really strange sometimes. i wonder if she realizes she doesn't think the way most people do.

Captain Obvious, everyone.

Also, it's not just my opinion. It's plenty of others'.

Actually, it's not just his opinion. Mine and many many others, too.

In contrast, the only Funi-dub that's even remotely close to an Animaze-dub in terms of quality, kickassness and stuff is...Fruits Basket. Every Funi-dub before and since have been completely sucktacular.

If you're offended by a single, mild obscenity, you need to stay clear of the internet. And books, movies, music, etc.

I like a lot of Animaze's dub, but I don't think their best is as good as FUNi's best.

No, no, no--I didn't mean it as though he's the only one with that an opinion, I meant that it was only an opinion. >.>

Pfft, like hell. To say that Fruits Basket is the only good dub FUNi has put out is total bull. It's not even their best one. >.>

I like most of Animaze's dubs that I've heard, but I don't think their best is as good as FUNi's best.

In fact, this is one of the few times I think an anime actually totally outdid the manga in regards to story.

Wow...where did this person find, not only the TV series, but also the two Cardcaptor Sakura movies? And on DVD no less!!!

Also....R4 got a CG R2 hardbox release!? URRGH! I fricking hate Bandai even more now.

Seriously, what the hell happened to them? It's like they've given up.

Funimation didn't redub it, though, right? Did I just get this totally wrong.

BTW, Ms. Erin. It wasn't in 2000 when anime started switching to digital animation cells. It was actually in 1999. Cowboy Bebop was actually the first offical production to be done in digital drawn cells. (though it was made in late 1998) it paved the way for future anime to be produced digitally.

Bzzt. Bebop aired starting spring 98. Probably more than 95% of Bebop is cels photographed on film. Only some obvious 3DCG space shots and a few effects shots were done digitally. If you can tell the difference between cel and digital animation, those scenes stick out readily. (Faye tripping on mushrooms in the bathroom comes to mind). In any case, Escaflowne used digital animation for effects shots in a similar way two years earlier (the tarot card part near the beginning of every episode, the dragon in episode one, Guymelef "cloaking".) There are more details on that in an article on Escaflowne in the unfortunately now long defunct EX.

I like most of Animaze's dubs that I've heard, but their best is as good as FUNi's best.

Cowboy Bebop first aired in the fall of 1998 not spring. It was first test run on TVWOW from October 26,1998 to January 4,1999. If you watch episode "0" which is on the 6th volume DVD it has a documentary on the development of the show as well as a late fall 1998 press release dating the premiere of the show as 10/26/98. The show was picked up by Nippon TV after dismal monday night ratings and ran its full 26 episodes on there saturady nights from January 2,1999 to July 17,1999.

Well, I guess Girls Bravo is only for the male audience (or not?).
