Yep I did, it wasn't all that bad to be fair. The one time I would recommend watching it in english over japanese as the lip sync is for english.

I always find the English VAs pretty cringe. Never liked it at all, even on others shows.

The lip sync doesnt bother me. I'll still watch with subs.

I think I might give a chance to Negative Positive Angler (fisherman? :D). May be one-two episodes to see if it sinks in.

Its not that bad in Requiem to be fair the english, it wasn't really cringy. The only cringe part was of course is because they were trying to show Zeon soldiers thinking they are the "good" guys when we know both Zeon and Earth federation are doing bad stuff to try and win the war. The only exception is Zeon dropping a colony which is what makes them the bigger bad guys.

Speaking of Gundam. I have an understated wallpaper for you:

Just got done with gate.

Its good if not a little rushed compared to the manga. The manga fleshed out the characters, their stories and the story itself little more.

I had originally started reading the manga years back

Got done with the first season of Neflix - Ultraman. Animation was janky but the story was decent. I skimmed the second and jumped ahead to the third after reading the show went down hill after the first show and decided not to continue. The animation did improve though.

Next up... Unfinished business. Yowamushi pedal season 5 :laugh:

SEVEN YEARS between S4 and S5. :roll:

I'll be writing in my obituary about how pissed I am at not living long enough to see S6.

Netflix ultraman show was decent overall in my opinion.
Anyway this little gem arrived today with a new B3 poster.
Side by side comparison to one my Gf got me years ago when she was in Japan.

Got done with "Garo - The Animation" - It sits in the same vein as Claymore and D.Gray-man. More D.Gray-man but not as deep or in depth.

I hated the ending of D.Gray-man but I found the ending of Garo more acceptable because it tied up the story by giving closure rather than doing a D.Gray-man which turned the entire show until the finale into a super long filler episode. ShinsenSubs literally died subbing D.Gray-man. What a terrible send off it was for them.

Garo is like a watered down diet coke of D.Gray-man. There were definitely more fun moments in D.Gray-man. Garo had some fun moments too. The show wants to go down some fun character building side quest (and there were a few...) but it always gets pulled back on course by the plot.
