[ShadowBlazer3000] go
[forlornhope] go
[Noirlax] Go~! :wind_blowing_face:
[MartAnimE] Go~! :firecracker:
[MartAnimE] darn fireworks going off again :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] doh :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] SFX for the fighting in the anime :smile:
[MartAnimE] lol I guess :fireworks:
[MartAnimE] the dogs are chilling with me, not as scared tonight
[MartAnimE] maybe they've gotten used to it :dog:
[MartAnimE] lol GamiGami thinks he's getting married
[forlornhope] lol
[Noirlax] lol GamiGami is spinning :smile:
[MartAnimE] she probably means to be queen on her own
[MartAnimE] GamiGami is such a doormat, I'm concerned :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] anything for love GamiGami :smile:
[MartAnimE] nice corn :corn:
[MartAnimE] I love how the king and queen are just so chill about it
[MartAnimE] like they know it will all sort itself out if they're just patient enough
[MartAnimE] they think Hyuu is just a troubled child going through some stuff :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] Nice outfit
[MartAnimE] this isn't gonna go well
[MartAnimE] I dunno if you can rely on GamiGami that much :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] She'll use him as a speedhump :v
[MartAnimE] lol
[MartAnimE] I guess
[MartAnimE] let's take a good look at this rock
[forlornhope] really big tablet
[Noirlax] I like that
[MartAnimE] it looks like humans are working class
[MartAnimE] and wind kind is ruling class
[Noirlax] possibly
[MartAnimE] and dragons above everyone, maybe they're the most important
[forlornhope] destroying all those potions :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] just guessing from my art history knowledge :smile:
[Noirlax] lol yeah those guys
[Noirlax] SHOWTIME
[forlornhope] lol what an entrance
[MartAnimE] GamiGami is so delusional
[MartAnimE] I feel a little sorry for him really :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] I don't think Hyuu gives a crap about Popolocrois :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] oh wow a lot of wind kind
[MartAnimE] oh wow so many Wind Kind :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] oh I guess there's going to be quite a fight
[MartAnimE] bye GamiGami :V
[MartAnimE] oh he broke free :smile:
[MartAnimE] no longer in love :broken_heart:
[MartAnimE] good! glad he's out of the picture
[MartAnimE] now Hyuu actually has to do things by herself
[MartAnimE] though I wish GamiGami didn't immediately become creepy about Narcia :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] one track mind :smile:
[Noirlax] he's always going to be creepy it's just which girl :smile:
[MartAnimE] yeah sadly :smile:
[MartAnimE] yay castle is back :european_castle:
[MartAnimE] dunno how to feel about all these Wind Kind
[forlornhope] aww cliffhanger
[MartAnimE] we have only one more rewatch left :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] yeah Wind Kind is interesting as a group they don't seem the nicest :smile:
[MartAnimE] well if Hyuu is any indication, yeah they're not known for being nice
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] kinda racist towards humans really :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] It's not racist because they probably are a different species :smile:
[Noirlax] discriminatory for sure :smile:
[MartAnimE] right, it's like species-ist :smile:
[Noirlax] Look down on humans like we do on monkeys or something :stuck_out_tongue:
[MartAnimE] yeah
[MartAnimE] like aliens would look down on us for being primitive
[Noirlax] of course
[MartAnimE] but I'm curious about how they feel about Dragon Kind
[MartAnimE] especially since Pietro is half dragon himself
[MartAnimE] and Hyuu is all over him
[MartAnimE] I wonder if that goes against her Wind Kind philosophy
[Noirlax] Maybe if Hyuu marries Pietro then we get the true calamity :v
[Noirlax] human, dragon and wind-kind :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] it would be calamity for me, personally, since I'm shipping Narcia/Pietro :smile:
[forlornhope] lol
[Noirlax] lol Narcia is my favourite character
[MartAnimE] yeah mine too!
[MartAnimE] but Pietro is very wholesome too
[MartAnimE] but I also like Hyuu as a character, even if she does bad things
[Noirlax] Pietro is wholesome but Narcia has a more mellow shy personality I like.
[MartAnimE] she is nuanced
[MartAnimE] for a villain
[Noirlax] Hyuu is nuanced kinda chaotic
[Noirlax] No one is really that villainy in this anime
[MartAnimE] yeah true
[Noirlax] Like epic on the scale of other Bee Train anime
[MartAnimE] yeah they're more like mischievous little children :smile:
[MartAnimE] compared to other Bee Train villains
[Noirlax] Does reminds me of a kids show where the bad guy is just mischevious rather than pure evil if you get what I mean
[Noirlax] but Hyuu is more nuanced cause she struggles personally
[MartAnimE] yeah, I guess some kid shows try to have a villain that can be redeemed at the end
[MartAnimE] to teach kids about forgiveness and stuff
[MartAnimE] which I think is a good lesson for young children
[Noirlax] for adults too :stuck_out_tongue:
[MartAnimE] forgiveness isn't always easy, truth be told
[MartAnimE] so good to start learning it as a child
[Noirlax] but let's not do the Mireille lesson style shall we :smile:
[MartAnimE] lol you mean "revenge is the best forgiveness" :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] I mean like having your parents killed and then meeting their killer after killing lots of henchmen :smile:
[MartAnimE] that one is Intocabille style :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] yeah that one is off the menu too
[MartAnimE] Mireille's situation is way too specific
[Noirlax] yeah
[Noirlax] I'm excited to see what happens with all the wind kind hanging around like this.
[MartAnimE] yeah can't believe there's only three more episodes
[MartAnimE] I'm gonna miss this
[Noirlax] Better than I thought I have to say
[MartAnimE] I know it's still early, but I'd like to ask, how would you guys feel about watching the sequel at this point?
[MartAnimE] or you can get back to me after the next rewatch
[forlornhope] hmm does it continue from this show is the question
[ShadowBlazer3000] not interested
[forlornhope] or is it's own thing with a different story
[MartAnimE] it is a sequel, but I think it feature different characters
[MartAnimE] Pietro's son I think
[Noirlax] It's not done by Mashimo and Bee Train which puts me off a bit.
[forlornhope] yeah not too keen on watching it tbh
[MartAnimE] I just wanna be fair, people only voted for this anime, not its sequel, so I don't wanna force anyone through it or have them wait while the rest of us watch it
[MartAnimE] I might just watch it on my own, if the ending is satisfying enough
[forlornhope] stories about the kids usually just don't grab me as much
[forlornhope] the kids of the original mcs is what I mean
[Noirlax] cameos will be cool though, I presume Narcia/Pietro is canon :smile:
[Noirlax] maybe GamiGami's son will be even crazier :smile:
[forlornhope] who says gami gami has kids :smile:
[forlornhope] doesn't seem to have much luck in the romance department
[MartAnimE] yeah really XD
[ShadowBlazer3000]
https://imgur.com/5TLv35T based on this it kind of looks like it
[MartAnimE] I might be willing to check it just to get a glimpse of Narcia/Pietro as parents
[Noirlax] Might sample one myself rather than a full rewatch commitment
[forlornhope] well let us know if it's worth a peek if you do check it out
[MartAnimE] will do :thumbsup:
[ShadowBlazer3000] apparently it has a Portuguese dub
[MartAnimE] European Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese?
[ShadowBlazer3000] European
[Noirlax] wow
[MartAnimE] I know the original Popolocrois aired in Portugal
[ShadowBlazer3000] Bárbara Lourenço as Hyuu (Portugal)
[Noirlax] Portulocrois
[MartAnimE] I think I might have seen a random episode, even before I watched noir actually :smile:
[MartAnimE] way before I knew what Bee Train was
[forlornhope] nice
[Noirlax] Same for me with Medabots
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah Medabots for me too
[MartAnimE] I'm not familiar with that voice actress
[Noirlax] and Golden Lightan for Mashimo
[MartAnimE] maybe I can find a sample on youtube
[MartAnimE] this is Brazilian and the sound is terrible :sweat_smile:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zkU6zERAZo[forlornhope] oh dubbed the op
[MartAnimE] yeah, I know in Portugal they aired it with the Japanese OP
[MartAnimE] only dubbed the dialogue
[ShadowBlazer3000] lol the sound is bad but the picture is surprisingly good
[Noirlax] the singing isn't so bad either
[MartAnimE] lol yeah
[MartAnimE] back in my day Portuguese dubs weren't the best or most faithful, judging by big hit shows like Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon, I dunno if things have gotten better since :sweat_smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] so they also went the more heavy localization route by the sound of it, like our dubs for most kids shows
[Noirlax] Dubs are never that faithful
[MartAnimE] yeah things like changing names especially
[Noirlax] but I got used to some
[ShadowBlazer3000] dubs are plenty faithful but some might lean more adaptive than others and some kids shows go deep on localization
[MartAnimE] in Sailor Moon they didn't make the lesbians cousins, but they did change one of the male gay villains into a woman, so no homo
[MartAnimE] and switched the cats genders for no reason
[Noirlax] oh
[MartAnimE] I think they just messed up with the first cat and then tried to save it by switching the other cat too :smile:
[Noirlax] localization for kids shows yeah, that's the thing that probably doesn't seem so faithful as an adult but it makes sense.
[MartAnimE] yeah I just think it's silly they feel the need to change things to make them more "kid friendly" when kids in Japan had no issue with it
[Noirlax] diferent social attitudes
[MartAnimE] but at least in Portugal they didn't censor any of the animation itself
[MartAnimE] just localized some names, some changes just felt clumsy like they weren't putting much thought into it
[Noirlax] You're probably not going to have lesbian cousins if that country has the death penalty for being gay :stuck_out_tongue:
[MartAnimE] lol
[MartAnimE] I think cousin relationships in Portugal are more taboo than lesbians :smile:
[MartAnimE] so yeah :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] I have a feeling there's not a lot of localizers in other languages apart from English. They have the same voices for hundreds of anime
[Noirlax] So they are struggling to localize so many of them.
[Noirlax] Like I remember Cantonese dubs in Hong Kong and its the same voice for a dog in one anime as maybe the kid in another and the voices change on a specific episode like as if the guy is sick for the day :smile:
[Noirlax] so someone elses voices that character :smile:
[MartAnimE] oh wow :smile:
[MartAnimE] that's a whole new level of not giving a crap XD
[Noirlax] I think it's good they dub them but they probably don't have enough people for it. :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] And it's like they want to broadcast on TV while its still hot and new
[Noirlax] which is nuts when I think about it now
[MartAnimE] I found a better portuguese version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz0NnAC-034[Noirlax] this sounds a lot better
[MartAnimE] the lyrics are kind of a mix of trying to fit the original lyrics and trying to fit the animation
[MartAnimE] I think that's pretty good :smile:
[Noirlax] yeah that's a good job
[MartAnimE] yeah first time hearing it today
[MartAnimE] so, any more thoughts?
[MartAnimE] or should I close it?
[ShadowBlazer3000] feel free to close
[Noirlax] feel free to close, I enjoy the story coming along. Have to say the last rewatch really spoiled us.
[Noirlax] This one is good too but more like the eps we seen before.
[MartAnimE] what do you mean? previous rewatch for this show or previous rewatch for different anime?
[Noirlax] I mean the previous rewatch last week with those intense Hyuu beach ep and the stage ep
[MartAnimE] oh ok
[MartAnimE] I thought this one was cool too
[MartAnimE] I liked GamiGami's moment of sincerity with Pietro
[Noirlax] Liked Gaminator :smile:
[MartAnimE] even though he was still technically under the spell, I think it's as you said, his obsession is genuine, just change the girl :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] Yeah I had experience with this sort of mindset lol
[MartAnimE] I hope he can find someone closer to his age lol :smile:
[MartAnimE] it's kinda uncomfortable when you think he's an old man perving on 10 year olds :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] lol I think they wanted a joke of a dirty old man but somehow making it kid friendly
[Noirlax] which they have succeeded :smile:
[forlornhope] Ah I agree I think these eps weren't as good as last weeks but still fun
[forlornhope] Thought we'd get more answers but seems like I have more questions instead :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] they're saving the best for last :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] naturally :smile:
[Noirlax] yup
[forlornhope] Hope the last part ties it together nicely
[MartAnimE] yeah, something that explains the whole human/dragon/wind kind dynamic
[MartAnimE] I'd be happy with that
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] the romantic relationships don't necessarily have to come to a resolution since they're all still children
[MartAnimE] even though I'm still firmly convinced that Narcia/Pietro is canon :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
[MartAnimE] I don't want Hyuu to be with GamiGami either
[MartAnimE] Hyuu should be free on her own or should just be happy enough with being friends and supportive of Narcia/Pietro
[Noirlax] we'll see what happens :smile:
[MartAnimE] and GamiGami should just stay away from children :grimacing:
[MartAnimE] just my take on it, we'll see what happens :smile:
[forlornhope] Lol yeah
[Noirlax] I'm out for lunch thanks for the rewatch everyone
[MartAnimE] thanks everyone!
[MartAnimE] I'll close now ^^
[MartAnimE] ~ THE END ~
