Anyone got an ETA on the English Dub release? My friend just gave me this on Subbed but looking to see a Dubbed version. If it's out already I might look it up on amazon later.

you know I just got to say I'm a lil surprised and pissed that Sentai Filmworks was the ones who put out The World God Only Knows in US. I use to get told a lot that they only every did US SUB releases, and here's a Dual Audio? Hell yes! but then I look back at some others like To Love Ru and grumble for the dubbing of that, NOW DAMMIT!!! lol. I'm hoping to get enough money here soon since birthday is coming up, paychecks going to bills and new dishwasher right now, so I can get it. Loved the manga and still keep checking up on it to see how the story goes, never saw the anime so I'm really excited.

I've been finding a lot of anime here lately that are favoring the "bittersweet ok ending." This ending usually involves the main characters dying, splitting up, moving far apart, or having something really awful happen right at the end. Also it sometimes includes the cliffhanger ending. People are also trying to jump onto the "George Lucas: Star Wars" timeline bandwagon, wanting to start a series with season 1 in the middle of the story, getting to the end, then trying to go back to prequels. And they usually mess it up, don't finish them, or as most are really annoying starting to do, leave it with a cliffhanger and a note saying "to know the ending go read to the manga!" All in all I guess having the viewer go read the manga sounds great and all, I usually search for the mangas after seeing a great series to see what changes were done and if the story is better, worse, or continues. Take Negima for example. You start off with the manga coming out, decide to put it into an anime and start the anime off with just about the same stuff going on in the manga. Then you get midway through the series and run out of manga, so as not to wait on the manga artist to finish you take it upon yourself to come up with some storyline that will involve the characters and branch from the idea you already have in motion. They break away from the manga after the school trip and start in on this whole Asuna has a pact with the devil due to her magic nullification power and Nagi seals himself away with a demon who has the same power when the demon has a sword through Nagi's gut. They end with Asuna living when they beat the devil and use a device Ling Chao has made to pull the contract off of her, and never even wrap up anything with Nagi or what even happens with Negi and Eva. Then you finally get a remake in Negima!? Magister Negi Magi that throws in the 3 card system for the partners, kinda dumb at times but funny, the story starts the same and then goes through this Star Crystal business as the main plotline, gets Anya involved more but doesn't get to the point of her involvement like the manga does, as well as adds in the 2 magic school official characters who in the middle turn Negi into a Chupacabbra for 1 episode. Both are wonderful animes on their own but both end up feeling half empty when you get to the ends. There are more points I could make, and since I didn't have too much time I didn't read through every post on this one so far, so I'm sure someone else has made comments like I've made. People still want the happily ever after endings in animes like the old ones. Sure blood and guts everywhere in some hack and slash animes are good but we still want the hero to come out alive and get the girl in the end. Having animes where most of the main cast dies kinda makes you depressed and not want to see it again or watch sequels cause who knows where the story can go if the writer kills off most of the main cast. I remember Gundam 00 season 1's ending, I thought it was really great, then the happy go lucky girl and the shy guy both die just as they confess feelings for each other, they were side characters without many lines but it still was a big downer to see them die like that. After that when season 2 was launching I had reservations about even continuing the series but thankfully I did just cause I'm the type that can't leave something unfinished too long. Well my rambling is going on long enough, I'm sick and it's past 1 am here so I think I might turn in after looking on the list to see if an anime I'm looking for is here.

Hello everyone, just wanted to come here and throw out this update for anyone who likes the series, The World God Only Knows, it looks like in Jan. 2012 the first season will get a Blu-Ray release with DUB by Sentai and they have already licensed both seasons for US release. I just finished the mangafox total of the manga, still ongoing, so I was really pumped up about it and decided to check out the anime, getting the subs here of course, and so I did some digging and was happy to see a release not to far in the future for US Dub.

Ok I got to show how early I started, barely 3, Pong the original, I know this cause I kept it forever. Still got the old atari, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, PS1, 2, and 3, and of course my computer which has many classic arcade games. Though if it's a question of which RPG was beat first, Dragon Warrior, age 5, yup I could read it all decently enough to win.......Of course now I still sit and scratch my head wondering where the hell to go next at a few places in it.

Newtype I'd actually have to disagree slightly on Tenchi, GXP has much more harem and ecchi in it than universe, lol lucky bastard Seina I wouldn't mind having 8 beautiful women all hot for me and all alone on a spaceship ---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ---------- money1246 it's 2 genre types of anime. Harem of course involves the main character, usually male but there are female ones out there too though I don't know them, and a number of love interests who all compete for the main character's love. Often it ends in situations where the main guy is with 1 girl in name but keeps all the others around too and a equal relationship is set between the girls. Ecchi is as simply put as softcore porn to normal guys, rated R movie style. You get full on breasts shown in detail, and panty flashes, as well as some obviously full nudes but the all important area is vague or covered slightly by fog, vapor, light, cloud, a random object simply in way of the view, and many other ways. Also there's a good deal of humor related to it, as the girls are usually revealed by accident and usually to a guy they like which results in them being red and often beating the poor guy who couldn't help but be looking in her direction at that time to a pulp.

Dan Den if Ranma's gender switching disgusts you then don't venture out to hentai at all......also a lot of anime uses gender bending plot lines and cross dressing to make things funny for the audience and stirs the pot for the relationship between the main couple, take Ah! My Goddess, when Urd and Skuld have to return to heaven to work on Yggdrasil Skuld leaves a special flan for Keichii to eat which turned him into a girl, well in most areas I think they explained he still had the main male part, and in the manga it was a result of Urd's potions he took trying to find one to cure Belldandy I believe. So it's used in a lot of ways, I believe the way you're thinking of that is probably disgusting to you is the way it's used in some Hentai, can't remember names of some of the titles but you often find story lines where a female sibling or relative or just a friend will somehow cause a magical transformation either her into a boy to satisfy the girl she loves, or the boy into a girl to have her man and satisfy her Yuri fetish as well. Or I guess that would be Futunari then..... And FYI sorry if the mentioning of Hentai and related topics isn't allowed here, I read the rules kinda fast so might have missed it if just talking about it in observance of the genre isn't allowed.

I've been on a romance/ecchi/comedy kick lately, Sekirei, Please Teacher, Love Hina, Chobits, Ah! My Goddess (watching it for about 3rd time in past few months), My Bride is a Mermaid, Happy Lesson, and Negima!/Negima!? Been working on a book for the past.....umm 8 years, since 2003-2004, and I'm stuck like hell cause I don't sadly have personal romance experience so making the romantic parts of the book feel right is kinda hard, studying up on how things go, lol like Peorth in Ah! My Goddess and the girls from Tenchi Muyo with their studying of manga.

Well let's see, Mahou Sensei Negima!, Ah! My Goddess, Negima! Neo, and Demon King Daimao, all still ongoing according to Mangafox and Animea.net though if anyone knows where they are more up to date, most have last posts of about 2 weeks ago so they seem to be up to date, and of course english language then I'd like to know. Otherwise I wait and eagerly check each day, might start Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple next since a few people are reading it here.

Hello, new poster here. One series I'd like to see get Dubbed is Sekirei Season 2, I really hate how long they take between seasons sometimes and I've not even seen news of it being dubbed yet so it's irritating, but they also haven't finished the whole series yet so maybe just jumping the gun. Happy Lesson Advance is another one like that, really if you're going to Dub it don't stop mid way! I got plenty more in my head I just can't think of them right now lol.
