There is so much from this manga that I want to see animated

The first episode apparently got outstanding ratings when it aired in Japan in a graveyard slot so it'll probably happen.

I've seen way worse dubs of equally good shows.

Even among everything else that happened, somehow it was the noise the thug made after Yor kicked him down the alley that made me laugh the hardest

For me it was Anya offering Frankie a peanut.

My favourite moment was when Lloyd showed up to the party. I'm not a big fan of romcoms but I watched enough to expect some kind of "he's too invested in his job so he skips the family reunions/dates/sth like that" kind of conflict. But nope, if Lloyd promises he'll go to the party with you, he will go to the party with you drat it. What a smooth mofo

And they nailed the grenade scene, oml

I appreciated how he didn't even try to clean off the blood from his face or anything.

Do we know who's doing the EN voice for Yor yet? So far the VA for Lloyd, Anya, and Franky are spot on

Yes. It's Natalie Van Sistine.

Apart from having the right voices for the characters in general, you can tell the English VAs are really into the material.

Loid will become genuinely smitten with Yor (and vice versa) because otherwise it wouldn't be much of a show, would it?

Nothing terribly spoilery, more speculation based on her later behaviours, but it seems that Yor is starting to feel conflicted about her job, seems to want to get out, and as a result seems to assume the very best in others.

Having to take care of an aggressively adorable kid and pretend to be a bishounen dude's wife will do that to you.

She's not pretending. She really is Loid's legal wife. It's just that the marriage was conducted for secret motives on both sides.

And Loid's handsome, not pretty. Kind of eliminates bishounen as an appropriate description.


Being legally married and being actually in love with your spouse are two different things. Also I thought bishounen was the general term for good looking anime dudes, which includes Loid because look at him, the man's handsome af.

Something nobody's mentioned about the Loid and Yor fight is that Loid can't actually, y'know, fight back. If he actually went all out on Yor it would completely gently caress up his whole mission.

tsob posted:

I'd venture they don't mention it because it's poppycock. He's applied non-lethal techniques before, and there's no reason he couldn't fight back within reason in that situation, since the whole game is to beat whatevers thrown at him. He might not want to injure Yor for the sake of a game, but he fought plenty of people up to that point without injuring them.

Poppycock, eh? Well your post is bafflegab and flummery.

Lovin' the jazzy opening music this week, it's really got a Herbie Hancock thing going.

I liked that one Bleach movie where Ichigo gets a gf but then she dies and nobody ever talks about her again, then in the actual main series Rukia and Renji go on to have a kid who has like 1:1 the exact same visual design as the dead gf. idk what Kubo meant by that but it's funny.

That's our Bleach! *audience laughter*
