my stock "what to do before it's on netflix" suggestion is "watch kare kano"
― lowercase (eric), Monday, 3 December 2018 01:18 (five years ago) link
lol i was just thinking about kare kano today. i still have all the dvds. it's... idk if it's a great show or anything but it was very important to me in high school

i nearly owned every volume of the manga and read it to the end. it's fine, wasn't exactly worth it lol
Nice history thread by the co-screenwriter of MANDY

yes this great show about the end of the world
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 22:41 (four years ago) link
idk about you but i cannot wait to watch a remastered eoe on my goddamn television
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 22:42 (four years ago) link
Excited. I haven't watched it in 15 years.
― jmm, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 22:44 (four years ago) link
any trailers yet with the new dub? I'm assuming subbed versions will also be available? right?....
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 23:02 (four years ago) link
nope, no trailers with any dialogue
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 23:21 (four years ago) link
never tried to watch anime on netflix but boy i hope the sub is available
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 23:23 (four years ago) link
oh wait never mind, i have, aggretsuko counts, it had multiple language options, can't see why they wouldn't do that here too
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 23:31 (four years ago) link
ok cool
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 23:43 (four years ago) link
very excited for this. planning to marathon it with pals.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 19 June 2019 01:00 (four years ago) link
fuuuuuuuuuck i wonder if i can talk my boo into this
― Good morning, how are you, I'm (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 01:02 (four years ago) link
will be watching
― calstars, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 01:23 (four years ago) link
Twitter thread posted up here by Nhex is amazing
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 08:50 (four years ago) link
y'all i'm so excited
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 June 2019 17:18 (four years ago) link
and i own two dvd copies of the show and have watched it in its entirety at least 20 times if not more
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 June 2019 17:23 (four years ago) link
I'm even looking forward to the discourse cycle a little. It will be cool if the show finds a big new audience.
― jmm, Thursday, 20 June 2019 18:00 (four years ago) link
Pretty much a guarantee I think. I'm looking forward to it, too. Remains relevant (and amazing obviously...)

according to early reports: apparently streaming rights for "fly me to the moon" must be incredibly expensive
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 08:39 (four years ago) link
and since my cats woke me up, i watched a few scenes of the new dub. cast is completely different but misato and shinji are weirdly sorta similar-sounding to allison jaffe and spike spencer (their old adv dub actors). old anime dub fans (and power rangers fans) will recognize johnny yong bosch in the cast as touji
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 08:48 (four years ago) link
checked and, both sub and dub changed "love" to "like" in ep 24. ok
― lowercase (eric), Friday, 21 June 2019 11:56 (four years ago) link
i’ve def read the same thing in certain fansubs. whatever it’s not like kaoru isn’t gay as hell (for an alien)
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 12:06 (four years ago) link
Not seen it on Netflix yet but not having 'Fly Me to the Moon' during the closing credits is kind of sad. New folk won't know what they're missing I suppose.
Here's all 26 of them btw :)

"seele, the seat of the soul" yeah i'm gonna have issues with this translation
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 12:50 (four years ago) link
Not a big anime head, but I may try this out. Unfortunately, I'm already annoyed by randos on Twitter who are like "DO NOT BINGE WATCH THIS! You must savor it like a fine wine!"
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 21 June 2019 13:23 (four years ago) link
pfft i actually recommend getting through the first half as quickly as possible
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 13:32 (four years ago) link
i mean i love those episodes (barring "a human work" which is good character-building for misato but kinda obviously the least good episode in every other way) but the show is special for the shift halfway through
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 13:33 (four years ago) link
some of those translations sound wack. otoh I wonder if OG fans whine too much. everyone who's like "no Fly Me To The Moon? it's ruined!!" like...calm down, we live in a society
― Simon H., Friday, 21 June 2019 13:35 (four years ago) link
eva fans (and western anime fans in general) have been professional whiners since the ‘90s
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 14:02 (four years ago) link
I'm now honestly wondering if Netflix standards and practices deliberately toned down the adultness of that specific dialogue when they noticed how young the characters were supposed to be
― Simon H., Friday, 21 June 2019 14:03 (four years ago) link
cf. there were a lot of sailor moon fans who wanted the early ‘90s dic dub preserved when viz started the massive rerelease/retranslation/redubbing a few years ago and this is basically an unreasonable position
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 14:04 (four years ago) link
tbc "Fly Me to the Moon" is critical + one of the best parts of the show
― Mordy, Friday, 21 June 2019 14:22 (four years ago) link
Maybe I'll queue up the Youtube ending compilation in another window and flip to it at the end of each episode, like a normal person.
― jmm, Friday, 21 June 2019 14:30 (four years ago) link
i do think it kinda sucks that “fly me to the moon” isn’t there. i hope the netflix deal portends a domestic blu-ray release
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 14:49 (four years ago) link
Why isn’t FMTTM the credits song
― flappy bird, Friday, 21 June 2019 15:00 (four years ago) link
there's no official explanation from netflix but as i said upthread: probably too expensive
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 15:01 (four years ago) link
streaming companies tend to not pony up cash for song rights; for instance, shudder pretty much never pays for any song joe bob wants to sing during his horror marathons and he spends a lot of the show complaining about it
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 15:03 (four years ago) link
song rights are notoriously expensive and hard to acquire just for physical releases (cf. daria or any mtv show that incorporated contemporary popular music), i imagine licensing for streaming is even worse and probably resembles font rights in ebooks, i.e. it is something you must pay for continuously. however i am not an expert
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 15:08 (four years ago) link
(and am possibly full of shit)
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 15:09 (four years ago) link
I actually thought fly me to the moon was written for the show 🥴 gd
― flappy bird, Friday, 21 June 2019 15:12 (four years ago) link
lmao ok i honestly love that you thought that
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 15:14 (four years ago) link
haha right

i have a refutation for this but it’s a huge spoiler and now that people are newly watching this i... don’t want to do that
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 15:53 (four years ago) link
first domestic translation to retain “third children” instead of converting it to “third child”
other than that, it’s not horribly written, just gonna try to enjoy the ride instead of thinking about how *i* would’ve done it
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 June 2019 16:07 (four years ago) link
yeah I know what this means. disregard my speculation.
