It's still a casualty of my distaste for bad CGI and Kamiyama and Aramaki making lame adaptations of movies I like. So I'll just laugh at the breakdancing man from the "going to the store" video and the frog guy who looks like he came out of Flushed Away.

Is the English dub of SAC_2045 out at release this time instead of being delayed a couple months like the first season? I'm glad people are beginning to see that it's a good show that's more than its first couple of episodes in the USA.

I checked the last episode (episode 12 of season 2) on Netflix and it had an english track (among others).

I guess the delay for the first season was probably finding the right outsourcing company and finding the right voice actors. Once all that is in place, it's much easier to dub episodes as they come out.

it's almost impossible to find traces of it online now (fuckin Veoh, lol), but back in the early days of western anime releases there was a genuine non-parody attempt at a UK dub commercial release of Catgirl Nuku-Nuku, which is, uh, it's something alright

https://www.veoh.com/watch/v158470576ZxpyJjh

There is also a very British dub of the first season of KO Century Beast Warriors done by Anime UK magazine, the only existing copy of which might be my VHS lol

E: apparently not!

I can only see two out of three eps at the moment though.

It's was all the same (phenomenal) VAs, I think it was just a covid delay.

And God drat, did they release the whole thing at once? I know what I'm doing tonight.

Yeah. The Dub is fully out and the dub cast is just as good as ever. It really makes the show.

I've said it before but the SAC dub casting is perfect with how it's so good it complements the JP voiceover. With the globalization and the cyberbrain stuff I'd expect they speak these languages fluently, and the EN cast is so good not just at the voices but the tone, mannerisms and direction that to me it just sounds like the same section 9 people but I'm able to understand them due to a cyberbrain implant or something. When I hear the Major in my head she's equally both Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and Atsuko Tanaka, and the same goes for the rest of the core cast.

I'm happy it's so good too because it helps a lot when they start waxing philosophical about things and it can be hard to keep up, especially when there's action going on. I literally fell asleep the first time around while they were going on about Sustainable War, but am so glad I gave it another chance.

Agreed, that was stupid and has been removed (all I meant is on the surface it looks like a generic fantasy series). Let’s try again, is the Bastard manga any good?

Though to answer the second part of the question apparently it got a 6 episode OVA a while back

It's good, I'd say its even phenomenal. Though you need to like the 80-90s heavy metal scene and not take it overly serious.

Interesting, is the OVA worth a look or is it better to just stick to the manga?

It's worth looking at, but there's A LOT OF cut content compared to the manga. You're better off first reading the manga to get the whole story, then watching the OVA.

EDIT: I say that as somebody who first started with the OVA before onto the manga. The 6 ep OVA works fine by itself, but it's like listening to a single before listening to a full on album.

You cannot make a story without using any tropes whatsoever. The word trope is not synonymous with cliche.
