One is a niche look at how anime is made and look at the daily lives of those in the industry The other is an action series that features magic. Sentai's decision makes business sense (although I doubt Wizard Barristers got dubbed at Shirobako's expense.) Zac has also said that he wouldn't want a Shirobako dub and I'm sure others may feel the same. |

I guess Wizard Barristers is being dubbed because it has fanservice. And again, I don't get the outrage of Shirobako not getting an English dub. Dubs are made with a bigger market in mind. And although Shirobako is a great anime, it seems too niche to me because I doubt the more casual fans are that interested in a show about some weird people working in the anime industry.
I think there was a good chance that it might have been dubbed because Celestial Method is a pretty looking show, and the story is sweet and probably relatable to just about anyone. |

I had read somewhere that those episodes were fixed on the BDs but yeah Broadcast of Episode 11 and spoiler[Shimazu's death scene] was pretty terrible. |

Well, I watched a couple episodes on CR before I forgot about it and it fell to the bottom of my queue--Am I in any danger of contamination? 
Baffling and impossible to follow, yes, but what in particular makes it a biohazard? |

I wonder if the US release include the three "secret" videos on three of the BD's in Japan. Short 5 second clips of scenes in the show, but with added nipples. No idea why those weren't IN the episodes.

I liked Wizard Barristers quite a bit, I don't know what DmonHiro's problem is with it. The animation is good (assuming the final episodes were fixed), the characters are interesting, it has magic and giant robots, and the story is something we've never really seen before. Plus part of it takes place in America so it certainly has that going for it. I assume they didn't decide to just randomly give the show a dub. Despite Japanese sales it probably had good viewership when it was first streamed in English. I don't know that I would actually buy it, but that's just because I don't make a habit of buying shows I streamed legally. If the dub ends up on the Anime Network I'd probably watch it again.

My problems with it are quite simple:
1. They introduced a whole lot of character that ultimately didn't do anything. 2. Introduced a whole concept (wizard trials), and didn't actually do anything with it. 3. Wildly inconsistent powers. 4. Where the heck did Cecil keep getting those hair ornaments that seal her powers if he didn't know she had powers hidden? OK, this one's minor, it just bugged me. 5. The mecha were cool, but pointless. And why was Cecil's called a diaboloid but everyone elses was called a metalloid? What I did like a lot? Lucifer. Best Lucifer ever. spoiler[ This Lucifer just wants to have fun. Has no intention of destroying the world or corrupting humans. Fell in love with Cecil, and just want to be with her. Not even necessarily in a romantic sense, just seems to enjoy being around Cecil. I just wish Lucifer was more relevant to the story.] Basically, I dislike WiBa simply because it built my hopes and expectations up, and then crushed them. |

They fixed the entire show. Warning: spoilers http://sakuga.yshi.org/post?page=1&tags=wizard_barristers. It doesn't look anywhere as horrid as it did on tv. |

I share the astonishment of people after reading Wizard Barristers is getting a dub. I am with DmonHiro on the quality of the show and would be somewhat surprised if that dub pays off for Sentai.

I find it a bit unexpected that Wizard Barristers is getting an English version. Well, now that it's coming, I'll try finding a chance to watch it. I may get a thrill out of this peculiar mix of magic and legality.

Not gonna lie, I actually forgot that Wizard Barristers even existed. Probably because I never watched it.
I'm happy to see a CE for Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun. I'll order it as soon as the pre-order goes up. |
