The dub is really hit or miss, but I was talking about the more apparent fanservice-laced nature of the show.
You're right about it being genuinely good in spite of the dub and fanservice.

Erina's voice is perfect for the character. She is stuck up and annoying. It's perfect. One of the best voice castings of all time because she is a horrible character and Food Wars would be a vastly superior series if she wasn't in it so a super annoying voice for a super annoying character works.
OP
OP
The sad thing about the food wars dub is that it's not even like they got bad actors for it. There is just a lot of miscasting for the characters and some directional issues.
The same cast, switched around some with a better director could likely be a great dub. Instead it's a decent dub with a lot of oddities lol.
It just shows that once again, the issue with Sentai, or rather this particular ADR Director, is that they're just given bad direction & half the cast sound like they're doing a practice read. They clearly get talented people considering some of the VAs have worked for Funimation, it's just that they sound like they're from a dub in the late '90s. I'm told they can make some good dubs, I just need to see which shows & hear them for myself.
I find the dubs to My Love Story, Chihiyafaru, and Nozaki-kun to be fairly good.
Made in Abyss had a mostly find dub.
Isn't that basically how far behind both Fire Force and Dr Stone would have been had everything gone according to plan? I think it makes sense for Funimation to allow a month delay between airing on their site and airing for "free" on Toonami.
Yeah but if we're talking about MHA replacing DBS, you'd think they'd want a premiere. Fire Force is the closest one to a simuldub right now lol. Only one week behind.
I mentioned it last night, but I wanna say it again, I feel the dub for Dr. Stone is real strong.
In particular Matt Shipman as Chrome, and Felecia Angelle as Kohaku are loads of fun.

There is really no benefit to Funimation to have their simuldub same day on Toonami. A month delay makes a lot of sense for all their simuldubs going forward since it doesn't devalue their streaming service.
Funimation has a real simuldub on their website, Toonami was going to be a 4 week delay, but between the skipped episodes in Japan and other shenanigans Toonami is only 1-2 weeks behind.
Don't get me wrong, the Chimera Ant arc certainly was long & had some moments that dragged a bit, but I still felt invested and there were actual stakes. I knew from the start that nobody was going to die in ToP because death means nothing in this franchise, so why should I care when the show acts as though this is suppose to be a big deal when an entire universe, let alone numerous ones, is going to be erased from existence when they tell us "oh yeah those deus ex machina things? We got even BETTER ones that can any wish possible unlike yours!" It'd be like if One Punch Man wasn't in on the joke that Saitama was the strongest person & they tried to play it super serious.....which I recall is partly why S2 of OPM doesn't work as well.
Plus HxH just was more interesting in terms of the fights because people actually had different abilities that were unique & it was more a battle of brains over "nuh-uh, i can hit harder than you". Were some of the nen abilities a bit hard to understand due to how complex they were? Sure, but I still appreciate the concept and how they were used.
It's quite clear that nostalgia is a hell of a thing for DBZ fans & why it holds a place for them, especially when it's compared to wresting & how the two fanbases seem to overlap. I went into this franchise with no nostalgia whatsoever & instead with the mindset of "let's see how this inspired future shonen that I've read & why this became such a pop culture icon" and maybe I went into both Z & Super with too high expectations. Either way, I'm done with this franchise & I'm just gonna let the fans here just enjoy it since I've pretty much said everything that I can put into words as to why I just don't care for the series & just don't have any desire getting into arguments when I know it'll just be me repeating what I've said over the years. When the series returns, I'll let you guys enjoy it without my negative presence.
Yep that's what I figured. MHA will miss a week for New Year's but TOONAMI will probably miss two weeks for Christmas assuming it airs in November on TOONAMI.
Funimation would also really like you to watch the dub on their streaming service thank you very much.
I really like the final episode of Super.
I'd say it's one of the best episodes in the franchise.

I should really rewatch Kakegurui but dubbed. I only saw the 2nd episode when I was showing my friend the show & why it'd be up his alley. The dub seemed pretty decent for the most part.
....speaking of Netflix, I really need to finish Hi Score Girl & Baki along with S2 of Castlevania & starting shows like Back Street Girls: Gokudols, Violet Evergarden, Carol & Tuesday, Dragon Pilot, March Comes in like a Lion, & Anohana (when I'm in the right mood). Too bad most of the time it feels like I spend more time figuring out what to watch compared to actually just watching something so I just go back to Youtube or games.

I really hate when a primary antagonist is only introduced mid-arc (as in, they don't even exist as a character prior), and the show becomes completely warped around big M.
Matt Shipman has been putting in work lately. I'm happy for his success.
Dr. Stone is one of my favorite dubs of 2019 so far.
I already finished that (for the most part. Technically I have the 20 or so eps the series continues after the manga :P)
Fairy Tail has a nice soundtrack to lull you into sleep at least.
Heard decent things about Dragon Pilot, though I admit that part of me can't help but thing it'll be a decent idea with a less than average execution. The trailer for Back Street Girls made it look pretty funny, does it not live up to said expectations?
Edit: random, but I got bored & decided to look up what episode of Jojo we'd end on for the year. Assuming we get the usual Thanksgiving marathon & then the holiday marathons starting on the 21st of Dec., we should end with episode 7.
