Really? So FUNi is using this format? Why would they do that? Also, I somehow missed this review. I apologize |

What I meant is why they can't program it better than the current scheme, with each show numbered by its root title, and not per-season. If they were to license a show that has a prefix, it will brake their system, like Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei - 1st season: Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei; 2nd season: Zoku Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei; 3rd season: Zan Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei. And by braking it, it will give each season's episode its appropriate number (unless they'll turn each prefix into a suffix). |

doubt that's gonna be the case. while some liked the role for date a live, infinite stratos is another story since others didn't even though i liked his take as ichika. unfortunately it definitely dont work for issei though. its a shame freeman decided to retire,especially since he's still very at a young age. i would guess he either didn't have the passion to VA in the anime industry anymore which isnt surprising since VA have done this at a young age or something else forced him to retire. either way while the new AV for akeno is fine, afraid grelle is a big miscast as the new issei. sure he did fine in date a live and for both seasons of IS,however its only two roles in an anime harem series. personally funi should have had Greg Ayres as issei instead since he's done more male lead roles in harem series. especially when it came for for heaven's lost property where the main is an even uber perv than issei. hell, if the news about freeman retiring had been announced, almost every dub fan would have predicted that it would either be ayres or vale that would have been casted as him.
and what other heavy induced fanservice series does that? other than DxD or Infinite Stratos (which isnt that heavy in the fanservice) which in a sense isnt farfetched or in the "didn't have to pull something out of their ass to keep the main character alive" scenario. especially since most heavy induced fanservice series is more about the fanservice than scenarios like that. |

And again, someone is going to have to explain to me, in detail, why Josh Grelle is a "miscast." He doesn't sound that different from Freeman to me and he gets the attitude exactly right. As for Greg Ayres being better-suited? He does pretty well as a male harem lead when the lead is a simpering milquetoast, but I have been far less impressed with him in bolder and brassier roles like Issei. Hence I don't agree at all that he would be either a good fit or a better fit.
Cross Ange did it in a big (and especially egregious) way. Even the series' most diehard supporters complained about it. |

i also had those concerns as well but considering that he did very well as Tomoki from Sora no Otoshimono (which i've watched multiple times and liked) whose an even bigger perv than issei he would have done solid enough and no one would be surprised at all. Don't get me wrong. grelle is doing solid voicework as issei ,just like with ichika, however so did mignona when he got the role as tamaki from ouran host high school and to this day dub fans is still calling the biggest dub miscasting for a character. dont be surprised if other dub fans in the US otaku community also are calling this one a mistcast as well even though the VA is doing a solid voicework in the role. Not as big as vic being tamaki, but a miscast nevertheless. |

I think Asia might have disappeared because spoiler[maybe she was reincarnated as an angel like Irina.] Just speculation on my part. Definitely unexpected though.

well that was disappointing. I figured Freed was no longer strong enough to be an actual threat to the Gremory household, but I didn't think he'd go down that fast. Farewell you crazy psychotic bastard.

Finally his outsides looked just as loathsome as his insides. Good riddance, Freed, you despicable bastard. Next episode: shit gets real. BOOST! |

This is pretty much where TNK has to really UP the melodrama. or else I'm enticed to rate this entire season a failure. |

so, dress break works against binding spells, that woud be rpetty fun in a series like nanoha, in which they use those pretty often.

Well, in the Nanoha universe, damage IS reflected by clothing damage. Just look at Vivid that's airing.

Not just ViVid, but Clothing Damage is quite the common trope in other IPs as well; it has example entries from Nanoha's multiple adaptations, and even from High School DxD:

What I'm really looking forward for the next episode is the voice acting. spoiler[In the LN, the voice of the Emperor of Red Dragon during the Juggernaut Drive is describes as being a mix of male, female, old, young, emotionless, chanting. I really hope they make it as awesome as it sounds in the LN]
