That was some Perfect Blue level shit right there with those twists

Damn

Yep, I remember when that got announced so that she could protect her voice, amazing show but it's true that Excel probably had more lines than multiple shows put together!

Kari Wahlgren More early Kari goodness.

There's our next character from the OP

I mean we learned about both initially through a VA, either through Funi's blog or Twitter, it's just Funi's also doubles as one of the voice directors. Plus, Funimation has much more of a web presence than Viz, since they have a subscription service with multiple shows they were in the process of simuldubbing, so they keep getting asked about when shows would return not to mention ones always asked about like One Piece. So they probably get bugged about it more.

Hitting him

FEELS

La Brava bringing the feels

We really do need those movie theaters pulling off opening in July.

Eri has arrived

LMAO

Sucks that the change is happening especially with just one last season to go and couldn't figure out a way to just get it done one last time I'll miss their style, but at least it's a generally quality studio in MAPPA rather than some of the other studios it could have been. So hopefully they do a good job when we see the real thing. Lots of pressure on this one especially coming in at the end given the massive popularity of this show's past seasons, visual direction, and hot off that widely praised masterful S3. Though now I'm more concerned about the wtf reveal of a second composer and just how much of the soundtrack Kohta Yamamoto is going to do, even if he's provided tracks with Sawano a few times now and been okay (Blue Exorcist S2, Seven Deadly Sins later seasons). Sawano's soundtrack is a major part of the show's identity so the final ost frankly seems like a dumb time to suddenly do a split soundtrack, plus I was excited for all the new tracks Sawano would bring this last time for the big finale. Hopefully he's still the primary composer and we're not lacking for new tracks from him with all the new characters that need themes along with plentiful of use of previous music. Thank goodness he's still working on the music or they'd probably already be facing a riot on their hands even before the intense scrutiny the art and animation will already be facing when the airing starts, let alone after the huge blow back at both OPM S2 and the last SDS. At least they're generally a quality studio that's got a good number of great-looking shows under their belt. Don't fuck this up Hayashi.

Yeah, they did a great job.

Black Clover's one of those long runners though so it was obviously still going but got delayed in Japan starting at ep 132 so double-checking it looks like there's still 7 more eps for them to dub currently since the last one they got out was 124 on 4/26 https://www.funimation.com/blog/2020/04/26/black-clover-anime-delay-simulcast-postponed-citing-covid-19/

Oops, yeah they did finish airing at the beginning of April, just 2 left to dub, but at the time all of this started they were still airing.

Jojo having finished airing in Japan last year probably helps material delivery wise, unlike MHA and Black Clover which are still airing. MHA in Japan is only two weeks ahead of the dub.

Yeah, give us at least another classic or two to end the night on

Feels like we just started

Yeah 12-3 feels so f-ing short

"Mothers are powerful" LOL that last minute Kishimoto lip service

Brilliant plan there dad

Telling him this then following his stupid dad's orders?

A mistake? lol

Sounds like Temari's actress pulling double duty, which is kinda weird lol
