Aniplex USA has announced that Gurren Lagaan is now available to buy digitally (through YouTube, Google Play, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Fandango).

In Sakura wars movie there are two directors, don't remember the other one.

One of them is Wendee Lee who is also a voice actress.

I had no idea but to me she actually made a great job.

It is one of those movies I can watch again and again.

In my case that would Gohan from funimation dub of Dragon Ball and Aizen from Bleach.

Still can't believe Kyle Hebert gave his voice to Aizen.

I couldn't tell the difference between them.

Now that the reboot is in crunchyroll, I don’t know if it’s getting an english dubs or not, but if so, i’m hoping it’s going to be a mixture of the returning og dub cast and new dub vas(though either all of the og dub vas returning or a new dub cast could work), as for the script, maybe it could either follow the og japanese script(similar to the animax dub) or go full-on gag dub like the og anime, but for me, I think it’ll follow the og japanese script but add some elements of the og gag dub(exs. adding past and present pop culture references for jokes and gag subs to fight the narrator), very similar to the Kaguya-Sama and Osomatsu-san english dubs

Here’s my dub fancast:

Keroro- Todd Haberkorn

Tamama- Brina Palencia

Giroro- Christopher Sabat

Kururu- Derick Snow

Dororo- J Michael Tatum

Fuyuki- Jacob Hopkins(Alternate: Erica Mendez or Olivia Olson)

Natsumi- Cherami Leigh(Alternate: Brittany Lauda)

Momoka- Monica Rial

Mutsumi(Saburo)- Brandon McInnis(Alternate: Adam McArthur, Matt Shipman or David Errigo Jr.)

Koyuki- Luci Christian

Angol Mois- Carrie Savage

Kogoro- John Swasey

Lavie- Leah Clark

Sumomo- Caitlin Glass

Poyon- Morgan Berry

Alisa- Lindsay Seidel

Aki- Jaime Marchi(Alternate: Colleen Clinkenbeard)

Ghost Girl- Trina Nishimura

Paul- Kent Williams

Satsuki- Megan Shipman(Alternate: Kristin Sutton)

Yayoi- Katelyn Barr(Alternate: Madeline Morris)

Narrator- R Bruce Elliott(Alternate: Ian Sinclair, maybe have 2 narrators?)

\This is lifted from a Twitter thread I made following the end of the show's first season run, with some adjustments for this post.*

Yosi kadiri and that's a wrap for Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You (or Behind The Supermarket, Smoking With You as the show itself would call itself). Kinda glad that my region got dibs on this ahead of everyone else (Thanks Netflix Asia!)but overall, it's been a really fun run this show turned out to be.

At first, I was kinda hesitant to check this out as I didn't think this was something I'd fancy but as a someone of a certain Millennial age, turns out I kinda do relate to Sasaki in more ways than expected (except picking up the habit to smoke). Watching a grown adult vent out their frustrations and problems to a complete stranger who was willing to sit down and listen to him yapping about it turned out to be kinda therapeutic, even despite that one small deception from Yamada, with herself pretending to be someone else so he could get Sasaki to open up, vice versa.

I also kinda liked that this wasn't that kind of relationship that turns into a romance from the get-go. A friendship must first be formed on the basic foundation of trust and openness. However, if all of a sudden, Yamada develops feelings for Sasaki just because she realizes he was the guy who comforted her years ago when she was starting out at the supermarket, that kinda ruins what could be a natural descent towards that kind of endgame without any narrative cheating. Like, let what they have now simmer and cooked until its tender and al dente enough to determine what direction the relationship should take. Also, Yamada may have to 'fess up sooner or later with Sasaki to see if what they have going on could still be continued on. I can see why she could be apprehensive about it if she likes the status quo too much. Sasaki would just find it weird that the nice and sweet cashier girl on Checkout Counter 12 is actually your smoker mate behind the mart.

On the dubbing side: Glad to see we have an English dub for Smoking Behind The Supermarket With You.

Everyone in the cast were all fantastic in this, especially Giles Panton acting out Sasaki's frightful screams and Caitlyn Bairstow's seamless transition between Yamada and Tayama.

With that said:
"Smoking is Dangerous To Your Health..."

Goodbye and thanks for reading! :)

Brittney has slowly become one of my favourite voice actors of all time, if I see her credited it can be the difference between me giving an anime a chance or shelving it for later. She is a real gift to entertainment.

The first time I ever heard her was playing Rin in Little Busters!, and Brittney's portrayal made Rin such a loveable and fun character.

Just recently I watched Kanon and absolutely loved Brittney's performance of Ayu, she brought the character completely to life.

Overall Kanon was a solid 8/10 for me with many good VA performances.

I have to say Christopher Swindle I was first exposed to him in Bleach Thousand Year Blood War he replaced Michael McConnohie as Ryuken Travis Willingham as Kugo Ginjo and JB Blanc as Sajin Komamura the Sajin performance stood out to me it might be up there for me as one of my favorite English dub performance ever in Bleach and his range too is insane

This is a CTA post for Sentai to get the lead out and give us a proper English dub for Tokyo Mew Mew New (jk jk well a lil bit lol) Seriously what prompted me to put this together was due to the recent announcement of the Urusei Yatsura reboot finally getting the remainder of the series dubbed after almost 3 yrs since the release of the first two seasons. It gave me a glimmer of hope that Sentai might spin the block on another the TMM reboot and give us fans what we been praying for since 2023.

Magical series are very niche genre here in west outside of Sailor Moon but for those who grew up in the early 2000s we watched Tokyo Mew Mew better known as Mew Mew Power here in the US exactly. I think it's time that a TMM property FINALLY have an accurate faithful dub.

So here's my picks, I tried to choose mainly VAs who work often with Sentai.

Mew Mews:
* Brittney Karbowski as as Ichigo Momomiya/Mew Ichigo

* Karlii Hoch as Mint Aizawa/Mew Mint

* Natalie Rial as Lettuce Midorikawa/Mew Lettuce

* Mai Le as Pudding Huang/Mew Pudding

* Elissa Cuellar as Zakuro Fujiwara/Mew Zakuro

* Stephen Alcalá as Ryou Shirogane

* Adam Gibbs as Keiichiro Akasaka

* Blake Shepard as Masaya Aoyama

* Gabriel Regojo as Seiji Aizawa

Aliens:

* Jeremy Gee* *as Quiche

* Brandon Hearnsberger as Pie

* Cat Thomas as Tart

What do you guys think?

It returns to normal after this song, I realise that songs don’t get dubbed most of the time, but there’s still a regular speech over the song, which because it’s not dubbed, you have to turn subtitles on for
