That's just it though. I enjoy cheese. I really do. But that show felt like it was trying way too hard to be something it wasn't.

Exactly this.

And honestly, whether it be cheesy or not, the show got stale real quick for me. I just could not get into it.

I think the plot also got too complicated for what it was with the DG cells part at least.  That was just kind of weird.

I forgot ham too.

Although now I'm curious. If you could, what would you do to make G tolerable?

I'd just make it about the tournament and all the weird & hilarious Gundams.

This so much this.  That's what I like about G Gundam, heck maybe they could have expanded more about the politics and ethics around it too because that took a back seat pretty quick.  That was honestly interesting since for the first half of the anime they were fighting wherever they damn well please and didn't get in trouble since Gundam Fighters were above collateral damage.  Not to mention the people who were forced to fight in it even if they didn't want to.

Jeez I got this weird idea that G Gundam should have been more Dragonball Z/Dragonball like......

I just think it needed to not try as hard. If you're going to be a tournament of Gundams from around the world, just be that.

I honestly think she would have a similar react that you did and have a hard time computing it.

G Gundam wasn't too bad... but I do agree that the tournament stuff was the best of it. The Devil Gundam returning as much as it did wasn't it's strong point.

Maria Holic got a dub. First episode sounds great. Didn't expect Kanako to be voiced by Cutey Honey though.

On the subject of Sentai Filmworks dubs, a recent trend with a lot of them is to address characters family name first. I really don't like that, it sounds really bizarre in English, especially when there are non-Japanese characters in a show as well and they're obviously referred to given name first. It was the worst in Campione, where the script actually used both orders interchangeably.

I see a lot more dubs using Japanese honorifics as well, which I also don't really like. I understand some don't translate very well into English, but what's wrong with just leaving some of them out? If they're used for some sort of gag, like in Bodacious Space Pirates or something, I guess I can give you that. But if they're just left in, I'm not a fan.


What happens in Vegas stays on Youtube. I also stream on Twitch from time to time.

Basically their problem is they're doing too literal of a translation?

I can see how that would be annoying. Honorifics are nice and all but the [tornado fang]ing dub doesn't need them.

Speaking of dubs, I was discussion the 3rd Eva movie with my friend and he says the dub completely missed the message of the end of the movie regarding Shinji.
