Not wanting to show straight up porn on their streaming network counts as "hate" now?

The English cast retrospective on Tylor would be nice if it happens. Its been 20 years! Shocked Even though its not as refined as the Japanese the dub is still very charming and its one of Crispin Freeman's first main character roles. Although personally I'm not a fan of the dub songs, I hope those are kept in Japanese.

I don't wanna get into this debate every time this show comes up, so I'll just say this:

Watch a recent hentai (hell, pick up a release from Critical Mass!). Then watch Interspecies Reviewers.

Quite a gap, isn't there?

I wish I could afford Captain Tylor I mean I already have it on DVD, but Bluray is always nicer. Its one of my favorite series and one of the only few I've seen where I love the entire cast and they were all fun to watch. I never watched the OVA, but it looks to take a more serious approach than the TV series based on the cover art and style change.

Edit: wait its not going to be released until April I didn't see that so maybe I will have money then we will see. xD

Tylor? There’s a gem. And good, Interspecies Reviewers is now available to people who want to see it.

Wouldn't the voice actors have to be put under a pseudonym if that ever happens?


I think that is up to the VAs themselves, usually.

Here's another vote for Interspecies Reviewers, and in particular for it getting at least a dub, even if they can't have the original. Only got to see the first two eps, but I liked it quite a bit.

Love Tylor and glad to see it get a BD release. I won't be picking this particular set up as $250 MSRP is beyond what I'm willing to spend at the moment.

Really wish Shawne chose the artwork from the Japanese BD box.



It's even better with the obi because Yamamoto gets covered up and it's just Tylor with his beauties Anime hyper

Tylor is on my Top 10 Anime list! However, I unfortunately can't preorder it.

I was never interested in Interspecies Reviewers, but the fact it's getting a physical release after the controversy it caused is a surprise and is great for fans of the show.

@Megiddo That's some nice box art. Hopefully it's somewhere in the set or at least the artbook.

It might not make or break it for you, but it's only $200 if your a Got Anime member (considering the savings I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned on the page lol).

They already were, sort of. People who were obviously in it denied being in it on Twitter etc. Simulcasts don't have translated credits so we don't know if they planned to use fake names, but given this they were probably going to.

I wonder if RightStuf are planning on keeping the same cast or just restarting with a new one from zero. Barely any episodes were dubbed, so if they do plan to dub it I'm not sure they would go the effort of getting Funi's cast back.

Either way, I'm glad we're getting it over here, for those who wanted it.

This. IR isn't even hentai and I saw it uncensored, every single ep. The one ep u could say was hentai was i think ep 3? Either way Funi aired it, then aired ep 4 (Which was pretty tame esp compared to the prev ep) b4 back peddling and all of a sudden most streaming companies were following suit. What we have here is a case of someone not looking into WHAT IR is and contains and then when they found out it was too hot to handle, they acted like they had nothing to do with it. And sure, ep 3 was altered to be more explicit from the manga, big deal, it still wasn't really that big a deal with what it did show and if ur gonna pick up a title like IR, u better have the balls to show it.

This is why I said what i said, also, though I said "we have a case of someone not doing their research" that CLEARLY wasn't the case as they knew exactly what the show was about and still bought the license and purchased streaming rights to it and got on 1 ep of the dub b4 canning the whole dub and pulling out on the streaming. if that isn't hate, i dunno what is lol

It is objectively and factually not hentai. It's not labeled as pornographic in Japan with an R-18 warning, nor is it sold in the hentai section of retailers in Japan, it's sold in the same section as other regular anime are. Selling it under a porn label is purely only in America. It's weird how it's treated so differently in America versus Japan.

Because nowadays Americans are generally more prudish than Japanese. Anyway, the Tylor box looks slick.

I'm glad that it's getting released somehow, even if they felt the need to release it under a 18+ label. I don't live by myself, so I probably won't get it, but maybe if I ever live on my own.
