tl;dr Makes perfect sense to me. It's interesting to me that, after Cutie Honey's limited exposure in the west failed, the "niche" that Cutie Honey filled (action-packed magical girl show primarily marketed to male viewers) never got another chance in the west until much later when Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha came over... and that one failed in the west too. Puella Magi Madoka Magica was the one that finally broke the barrier and was well-received by western anime fans. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.ws/9NPxhCm.jpg ...

No idea why, but apparently the final episode of Granbelm will be airing on Japanese TV next Thursday instead of Friday like all the previous episodes. No idea if Crunchyroll will adjust to it or not, but I certainly hope they do. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.ws/a9kORwz.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Puella Magi Madoka Magica was the one that finally broke the barrier and was well-received by western anime fans. Yep it really is quite interesting. Fun as CH is, I can see how and why Madoka was the one to really blow up. People love a good shocking twist and I'd rather watch that spin than a typical mook of the week work. All about timing and content in the end. Finished FMP, final thoughts: Gundam 00 basically lifted Gauron and Sagara for Ali Al-Saachez and Setsuna, not that I'm complaining Gone fishing was a nice conclusion Hmm...I think that's it. As comedy/slice of life I'd rate it 8/10, as mecha I'd rate it 7/10. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I know only the original season and A's were ever dubbed, then they didn't bother with it for StrikerS onward. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.ws/dyPE5R9.jpg ...

It started pretty slow, but episode 5 (when Fate showed up) was when things really started moving and it just kept getting better and better from there. If anyone here has tried watching Nanoha but dropped it due to the slow start, give it another shot. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.ws/BExrrh9.jpg ...

To this day, I'm convinced that those first few episodes of Nanoha are just the result of the show's creators not being totally sure which way they wanted to go with the series. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.ws/jreCvCQ.png ...

So why do you think Lyrical Nanoha didn't succeed in the west? I agree with the slow start being a factor but I think Geneon can take a good share of blame for not striking while the iron was hot. They grabbed the license in 2007 and then broke off relations with ADV (their distributor) in the same year, meaning Nanoha didn't hit shelves until a full year later when Funimation agreed to put out the discs. Before the license Nanoha was anticipated as being the next big thing in the magical girl genre, but that first year of uncertainty over whether or not it'd even come out really stole the weight from its punch. ...

The only thing I'm afraid of is that, unless they have a surprise movie announcement with the true final ending waiting in the wings, we're likely getting a rushed ending because of all the stuff they need to cram into the final episode. I blame how much time they wasted on Noble Red.

I blame how much time they wasted on Noble Red. 100% agreed. You're incorrect about one thing though. In truth, Noble Red's total body count wasn't actually that much higher than that of Saint-Germain and the Alchemists from AXZ. But those deaths were over a period of thousands of years, some of them were noted to be willing sacrifices to their cause and not just getting straight-up killed, and Saint-Germain counted every single one of them and always consciously held that guilt with her. Meanwhile, Noble Red racked up most of their body count in a single night and in such a brutal way, and Milaarc/Vanessa never showed an ounce of guilt or conscience for it. The only guilt they felt even as they were dying was "for becoming monsters" and not for the 70,000+ they killed along the way. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.ws/NQOCPqb.jpg ...

I'll take care of that later on. I've been so distracted by Granbelm/Symphogear hype these past few days that I forgot the last page housekeeping:
Topic Reserve List: V184: Jeff AKA Snoopy @Jeff_AKA_Snoopy, you're up. We most likely won't need the next topic tonight, but when this one reaches around 490 or so, put the next one up and link to it here. If you can't make it for some reason, let me and/or (the backup) @Juhanor know. Also, if anyone wants to reserve any of the open slots, just let me know, I'd definitely like to have V186 filled before it becomes a problem later on. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.ws/vHxUJTm.png ...

100% agreed. considering symhpogear is a series that is very into redeeming its villains... honestly just the fact that they are (presumably) gone for good means they already got a worse fate than basically any other villain from previous seasons --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!
