Shelf Life - Princess Principal

Yeah good point, I've still got some memories of that short dub sample we got for it. That would have been so cool, hell I think a bunch of them are still voicing lol. I remember it even had Barbara Goodson in it.

Looking up the cast list I'm guessing this must have been one of the first times I'd heard her, Wendee Lee, Doug Stone, etc, which is super cool to think about. Also, it's funny how a couple of them reunited in similar roles for Teknoman, no wonder I got into that dub so quickly back in the day.

I for one would still prefer they be "overdressed" as opposed to unrealistically skimpy like most female-dominated action series often are (not quite as respectful of its characters, in my opinion).

They're all still voice acting, well except for Kerrigan Mahan, who seems to spending his time using his voice...to endorse the greatness of Goldar.

Considering that Amazon has the rights to Princess Principal, perhaps they would be interested in carrying the movies reasonably close to their release dates.

On the other hand, my biggest disappointment with Amazon Prime right now concerns the live-action adaptation of Moribito. The NHK devoted twenty-two episodes to this gorgeous series, but Amazon has only licensed the first one so far. If that's any indication of their commitment to the Japanese series they carry, the prospects for future PriPri are more cloudy. (Look at all the older series they carry now with only English dubs, too. I went to watch Juuni Kokuki ["Twelve Kingdoms"] the other day and turned it off immediately when I discovered I couldn't even choose the Japanese track.)

suffers from a lack of a recurring antagonist

and it's based on some kind of mobage no less. Well done, production

I think the Princess Principal dub might be my favorite from Sentai. Can't wait for the movies.

I love the look the Zillions bluray has, like it's been in a VHS rental store for 20 years. I think they did that with the Devilman release as well; it's a neat style.

This is also, extremely appropriately, what the Bluray of Netflix's Stranger Things did. Ninja Slayer has a release that looks like a burned DVD-R.

I guess I will be "That Guy". Maybe I just missed something, and everyone already knows this. Here goes.

Did you know Albion is the oldest known name for the Island better known as Great Britain?

There, said it. Yeah "Nation of Albion" isn't much of a stretch, eh? Everyone probably already knew this, but I couldn't help myself.

Exit stage left.
