Isn't that worse than being Offensively Bad? I mean, a show being awful and people making GBS threads on it is basically a career as a "Professional YouTuber" nowadays. When a show is loving dull, they're usually not worth mentioning.

The difference between dull and offensively bad is like Black Butler season 1 and season 2, and I wish I could actively forget the latter.

I recall reading somewhere that what apparently got Daisuke Ono his chance to audition to be re-cast as Jotaro (everyone aside from Koyasu had to be recast for the Stardust Crusaders anime coming from the All-Star Battle game) was a really good performance in a really lovely show. Every time I remember, I wonder if it was because of Black Butler and I snicker a little.

It was the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi actually. :twisted:

It's episodic so you could take it as slow as you want to. But if you want something really standalone, watch Hotarubi no Mori e. It's a short 44 minute movie by the same mangaka, and it's got a very similar feel to Natsume even it's totally unrelated.

Looking at their Wikipedia page, that might be due to lack of material more than anything else.

I'm gonna be upset if they cut out the freaky stuff though.

Youkai Apartment is like one part wacky kinda eh SOL antics, one part complaining about kids these days, and one part horrible poo poo happening to people who sometimes deserve it. The tone flips all over the place to accommodate this, so the whole thing feels patchworky at best.

one thing that kinda concerns me with netflix/amazon is the lack of physical releases, where there's the potential of a license being lost and no legal recourse for people to obtain a series

But a lot of the Crunchyroll catalog never get physical releases either.

From what I hear, Netflix is probably the only company that supposedly pay their translators a fair wages. Crunchyroll and others are really really low.

You can take the Netflix translation test here.
https://tests.hermes.nflx.io/

quote:

Phase 4 (15 minute limit): This phase shifts away from translation and instead focuses on the technical aspects of subtitling. It consists of 10 video clips with a corresponding question for each clip. These questions will test your knowledge of timing, punctuation, line breaks, etc. If you are having trouble viewing the video in this section, please close out your browser to stop the timer and then review our FAQ for help troubleshooting.

Man, do the translators have to do everything themselves?
