Hi everybody! It is time once again for a weekly general thread! This is the place for all your anime-related thoughts that you don’t want to make a whole post about. Some thought-provoking examples may include:

  • Is it just me or did Shield Hero peak during the Spirit Turtle arc?
  • Why can’t all the other streaming services have players as nice as HiDive?
  • I am loving Spy X Family, would Domestic Girlfriend be another good, family-centered show to follow up with?

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

    That’s an interesting idea to switch from sub to dub. I might have to try that sometime. You mentioning Penguindrum reminds me of when I visited Tokyo. I stayed at a ryokan in Ikebukuro and right down the street was a bar that had live penguins in the bar. So, it was like an aquarium mixed with a bar. I didn’t actually stop by and try anything, but thought it was really random. Here, I found an article about it!

    Looking forward to the art submissions!

      I especially recommend it for comedies. I sometimes rewatch old shows with the dub instead for variety as well. It can be amusing to find recognizable voices from games and things. e.g. I rewatched Scrapped Princess earlier this year and when one particular character showed up, I was like “That’s Welkin!” (from Valkyria Chronicles) – Dave Wittenberg voiced them both in the English version.

      Thanks for the link! I’m not quite sure what to make of that. I guess it’s kind of like a cat cafe, but more… out there?
