Jman Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) No clue if FUNi will be back to their offices by then, but it would be an ideal Toonami show. Edited May 22, 2020 by Jman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Sooner than I thought! Yeah I expect it to return to Toonami as soon as they are able to start dubbing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Funimation releasing the trailer just depresses me since it only reminds me of how slow their dub process is going. There's a larger chance they won't dub this season now. That said, I am astounded enough of the season has been animated by now, even with Japan's lockdown.

PokeNirvash Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 They recently announced the series would be changing directors. If that means less awkward forced Tamaki fanservice, then I'm all for the change. If not... well, that's someone else's problem more than it is mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why you'd think it wouldn't get a dub. I haven't found anything of them saying that they're dropping any shows. If any show already has a season 1 dub I am 100% sure the other seasons will be dubbed eventually. Depending on their work load it may not be simul-dub, but I think it will be within the realm of what we were used to for dubs being within a few months of the release date. Really can't do any worse than Crunchy dragging their feet years before they had a Konosuba dub out. Because of recent events they'll probably use that as the excuse as to why the film isn't already dubbed. 10 hours ago, PokeNirvash said: They recently announced the series would be changing directors.

Hopefully this director will have great taste and just flood the series with forced Maki fanservice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Oh they shall certainly TRY to dub it. I'm just saying this has upended a bunch of everyone's schedules, and they can't dub everything they wanna dub these days. If they do, Toonami should wait for at least half of the season to be dubbed before even thinking of picking it up, or else we'll be stuck with another "MHA episodes rerun for the third time" case.

Yes, there's going to be a pecking order for which shows get worked on, but Fire Force will definitely be one of them. MHA was clearly first because it's one of their top series right now and they have a TV deal for it. It's not surprising that Black Clover, the other FUNi premiere being actively aired on TV, also made the "must dub" list. A show that has every expectation of being popular, is a sequel to one you already dubbed and most of the returning cast likely has home equipment already, and is very likely to also get a TV deal asap, is going to be an obvious choice to spend resources on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Plus FUNimation's on the damn production committee for Fire Force, so it's getting dubbed anyways, even if it isn't immediate. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't jump to conclusions yet. America has been doing pretty badly, but I'm skeptical that Japan's relaxed attitude with no restriction of movement and small testing capacity is working. It feels like the Abe administration is trying to sweep this entire pandemic under the rug in time for the Olympics, but even that may not work out. As for the original topic... eh, I'm not convinced this show is safe. If they're announcing a premiere date, they must have a big batch of episodes ready, but that could just mean they'll run out in September and the show will be delayed then instead of now.

The1gairon Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 There's nothing they can do about the Olympic postponement, so they'd need to prepare for 2021. And that's gonna be the real key, because if 2021's Olympics also cannot go on due to there still being no defense against the virus, then Tokyo will lose it entirely and we'd then have to wait until 2024 for another city to host it, thereby spending all that money for nothing. America has been doing poorly, but key isolated cities are acing it, like New York City, which has reported less deaths yesterday than when the shut down began.

Yes, that last one is really an official color spread! Maybe I should still make that thread I was planning to make after all, even if that article and Twitter post that discussed this issue with My Hero Academia is quite old by now. This SIN has happened with Black Clover, My Hero Academia, and who knows what other shows! Stop un-thickening the girls, you bastards!

HardcoreHunter Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 That last one was also in the anime. It's just her black bulls uniform that they made her look flat in the anime due to the character sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think this also says something on how moe blob faces were very unappealing when first introduced, but have become so standardized that angular knife chins are now less appealing. Moe blob faces are still unappealing. Manga - And anime - Looks like the girls have pointier looking chins than the guys, which makes enough sense. Yami doesn't have a pointed chin at all. But I never really noticed that. It was the angled eyes on some characters I noticed more than anything else. But I just took it as an art style choice and it didn't really bother me. And the artist is Japanese after all. And what was the Jump cover where all the mangaka drew other series characters' and we all agreed Tabata did a good or better job as drawing that series characters than the original artist? Here it is, but I can't find the explanation of who drew what. I think Tabata drew Asta and Hiei (I'd say looks pretty good,) Horikoshi drew Deku and Boruto, and Oda drew Luffy, and an abomination of Goku with Luffy's face. x_x I found something else interesting. Horikoshi redraws the first volume cover of Black Clover, and Tabata re-draws the first volume cover of My Hero Academia. I notice the difference a lot more with MHA than I do Black Clover. And I won't be able to un-see the chinny-chin-chins now. But I think I'll be okay.  Here's the originals. They don't look like the swapped versions, so I guess the artists not only redid the volume one covers but did completely new covers of what could have been the volume one cover. That was definitely an interesting cover Tabata came up with for his first volume. And I remember when I first found out that the MHA volume covers look just like American comic book covers and thinking it was the coolest thing. Anyway, I think Tabata did a good job with Uraraka, and Horikoshi did a good job with Noelle. Both men know how to draw women well. And Icy-hot looking a bit like Yuno there, heh.

What, you mean that's not something female cousins do when they go out on the beach? I'm pretty sure it is an out-of-universe, out-of-character color spread and Yuki Tabata just posed them like that for his and his reader's enjoyment. I don't think anything like that actually happens in the beach chapter(s) or corresponding episode. And when that picture comes up in the post-credits Petit Clover, Noelle throws a big fit about it. Annoying that I can't find the clip of it. But it's on episode 47 (47 strikes again!), and that's not even the beach episode funnily enough. https://comicbook.com/anime/news/black-clover-fan-service-noelle-mimosa-bikini-anime/ And I have to say I much prefer Funi's "Dorksta" to Crunchyroll's "Stupidsta."

And well, at least nothing came of it, and Leafa only crushed on Kirito in the game because she didn't know he was her brother. Is that screenshot even from the anime though? Looks like its from one of the NON-CANON games.
