Give a Reason is still one of the best anime opening themes.

can confirm. i still have all (all) the OSTs that I painstakingly downloading from the anime Napster server or purchased from Pop Culture, my local anime store in Dallas back in ~2002, and subsequently spent hours tagging and categorizing.

Yeah, some new novels came out a little while back and as I understand it the series is still fairly popular so I don't see much reason why they wouldn't revive the anime again at some point (at the very least they could give us a movie and/or OVA).

Also there was a little over 10 years between Try and Revolution so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility either.

goddamn, evolution-r came out in 2009? I thought it was just a few years ago!

Yup, and before that we had Slayers Try way back in 1997. Point is, just because it's been close to a decade since the last season came out that's still no indication that the anime is dead at this point.

oh no, i was simply implying that I am dead at this point

i remember downloading realplayer fan subs of Try back when Clinton was president and now my knees hurt for totally unrelated reasons

or... here's a thought... maybe they're both fine and it's not a competition, given we're no longer in the VHS days where sub and dub got sold separately

sorry but it is ABSOLUTELY a competition and it appears that the forces of evil are prevailing and nothing makes sense anymore

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is actually possible for normal human beings to follow dubbed.

Are the Blu Rays in actual HD? I remembered reading that they were upconverts.

the ones i saw were 720p and if they were upscales, they sure looked great! but then again, all i can compare it to are .rm files and central park media(?) VHS tapes. the movies in Actual HD look fantastic, too

also i�m just now getting that your username was a slayers reference all this time and i will not be told otherwise

So I�ve been rewatching this series lately (this time in English), and out of curiosity why did Ameila�s dub actress suddenly get swapped out after episode 13?

Also why is it that the series and the movies/specials were handled by two different dubbing companies (though interestingly Crispin Freeman still voices Zell in both).

around ep13ish, Central Park Media stopped production for a year. when they resumed, the original VAs for Zelgadiss and Amelia didn�t return CPMs calls and were ostensibly busy with other work. Crispin Freeman doesn�t come in until ep 18 and that was the next appearance of Zelgadiss after the hiatus. Daniel Cronin was the original VA.

this kind of goofy poo poo is part of why old weebs don�t care for dubs.

The VHS dubs were all we had and we LIKED it. We LOVED IT.

accidentally grabbing one VHS copy of the dub of cowboy bebop at suncoast out of the entire set of subs still haunts me to this day

i wish i could remember who produced those

speaking of old weebs buying the wrong format, my order of the Gunsmith Cats blu-ray just shipped today, and i don�t own any means by which to play it. at least i bought the ~premium~ version of the thing i�ll never take out of the shrinkwrap!

Crispin Freeman is great though, and much better than the original VA.

yeah i�ve heard as much from other tittybaby dub-watching casuals :smug:

me and the rest of The Lost Otaku have never heard him speak before

That would've been Bandai's short-lived US subsidiary. I don't remember the Bebop VHS's, but a friend of mine got their Escaflowne tapes, which came in beautiful hard clamshell cases with cover art from the Japanese LDs. I picked up Cowboy Bebop in their limited run DVD collector's edition in a numbered flip-top hard case.

these are the ones i remember getting at suncoast:

was anime village bandai?

i have that same flip top DVD box set. it was a genuine collector�s item at one point. serialized and everything. a little worse for wear after a zillion people borrowed it back in college though.

Larryb posted:

While the original is still good (and incidentally also happens to feature a female protagonist voiced by Megumi Hayashibara), Bebop is one of the few anime I�ve seen that I feel actually works better in English considering its setting and theme.

the dub being on adult swim for nearly two decades rotted the brains of millions. i was blown away when i first found out who voiced Faye, though. huge departure from Lina/Rei
