Toonami

You guys be the judge on the dub



I think it's passable.

I'd kill for Konosuba myself but if they give Megalo another run I'll be fine with it. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did but holy crap it's amazing.

Megalobox is the first anime in a long ass time that I’ve gone out of my way to either tune in or DVR out of toonami.

Trailers tend to not be the best judge, either. As has been noted, the actors pretty much never mingle directly, have to match flaps (and get script changes sometime for that purpose), and sometimes need some episodes to really get the hang of a role. I know Aqua's VA has a pretty distinctive voice in general, but I know Darkness and Megumin's are pretty good in other roles, so any ick is likely a result of the aforementioned or even poor direction. Main wildcard to me is Kazuma, but that's largely because I can't think of anything he's had a major recurring role in prior.

Part of what i disliked the dub was the one part where any of the girls go “KAZUMA!” And Kazuma responds with “Yes i’m Kazuma” in a bored quiet voice, completely removed from the dub.

I watched a few dub clips and yeah it sounds kind of off...

Same. Jesus Christ the latest ep was intense at the end.

lmao it glitched up and basically skipped a whole episode of SAO

[Zalrik21]

I'm just wondering what they are going to do about missing this episode, since this seemed like an important episode for SAO. I just ended up watching it on CR but not everyone could/will do that.

Oddly enough I'm not seeing much complaining about it on social media.

[Zalrik21]

I think it kinda helps that they were talking about AI not working right kinda made it a joke really. Seen some people on twitter not happy then others that hate sao were glad they didnt have to watch. While i think its not top 10, its def not as bad as people make it out to be for sure.

[Corrderio]

I kust can't get into it. The MC is dull as hell.

[arus2001]

My main beef with this arc is that all the fights are so disappointingly lame and typically over in like a minute.

[Zalrik21]

Maybe they will expand on that in the later episodes, thought I heard that this is going to go like 50ish episodes? I don't remember where I seen that so don't take that as fact or anything. Only show I kinda have a problem with is this new JoJo's, just really cant seem to care too much about this arc. It has some cool moments sure but I liked part 2 and 3 more, as of right now anyway.

[arus2001]

Well, unless there's a second act to this arc or whatever you wanna call it, things should probably wrap up in a week or two.

Spoiler: show

Which if that's the case, I suppose I could see a few angles presuming Kirito still stays in the VR.
1) Upon defeating the Administrator, the world glitches out and they need to fix shit.
2) They defeat the Administrator, but Cardinal turns out to be the true Big Bad(tm) and they all get banished to the Dark Territory.
3) They win, but then the invasion from the DT begins. With the knights largely incapacitated, the world is fucked.
4) The final conflict winds up interrupted by the program reaching whatever conclusion it desired and begins the process of deleting everything. Bad guys are now allies as they try to stop it.

None of these outcomes I find particularly endearing and does nothing to immediately curb my concern of mediocre conflicts. I suspect for a lot of people, the Gloameyes fight from S1 was probably the best the series has put out. We might not think whipping out dual swords to be something interesting since we've all played XI and various other games, but somehow they managed to push the reveal in a cool way. Comparing that to, say, them unlocking their swords in this arc, they've felt way to similar to Bleach characters (Kirito = Ichimaru, Eugeo = Rukia, Alice = Byakuya) and their zanpakuto releases, only without the real benefit of that's world building toward it all since all Kirito and Eugeo did was meet someone and got a hax powerup with no training toward that specific end. Idiot clown was basically one-shot. Sword Golem was one-shot by Cardinal after everyone else got 1HKO'd by it. Eugeo and Bercouli was pretty short. Against Fanatio was probably the most decent of the lot. Stuff before that has also largely been one-shots or ended soon after.

From the game perspective, that's also been largely absent from the combat presentation. We just have to accept older people have less HP, but we also never really see HP bars to affirm a differing decline. Their interpretation of MP has also been relatively nebulous, with "running low" feeling more like a matter of plot convenience than mechanical practicality. Anyway, I'm probably just being anal about all this, but either there's a lot that's been cut for budget/time or the source was dropping the ball, too.

They are going to re-air that episode of SAO tonight. And next week they are going to show two episodes back to back in place of Megalo box.

[Corrderio]

Megalo Box really was a hidden gem. A bit sad to see it go.

[Outlaw]

Yeah it was a good show but the ending kinda left a bad taste in my mouth..

Spoiler: show

They off screened the winning moment! >.<

True but I did enjoy the tension, the audience reaction, an unknown person at the time being rushed to the ER. They really did a good job building the suspense and aftermath

[qandeel33]

lol what is all about toonami stands for ?

[Eurell]

Please hurry and explain what that means before the ban comes lol

[Xno Kappa]

Finally got a chance to watch the finale to Megalobox. Fucking loved that anime and I’m personally a fan of the way the ending was done.
