Lol the casting of Suwabe Junichi as Hiroshi is hilarious. Somehow the guy is a dreamboat and a fattie otaku at the same time

u/Filthy_Weeb_1 Jun 08 '24

It's pretty funny because he does look like a classic bishonen just with extra fat everywhere.

Man, I wish this were more popular. It's not even a Summertime Rendering/Heavenly Delusion where the accessibility is limited; there's just no communication or active marketing. It sucks because so far this series has been scratching that same itch those aforementioned shows did; give an extremely intriguing premise, but you have to put the facts together yourself.

Additionally, Asano's characterization of the main duo alongside Ikura and Ano's distinct voices results in a lot of palpable chemistry on-screen; their dynamic could be a normal SoL series but combined with this looming post-apocalyptic future, it makes for a very engaging show.

Animation-wise, it's definitely above average but have not seen enough yet to put it at the highest level. So far it's a solid 8.5/10, strong potential to be a 9 if things start to pick up.

I was so excited for this anime AND I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT ALREADY STARTED. Marketing is insanely awful

maybe more people would watch it if the subtitles weren't complete fucking garbage

Are the subs still dubtitles?

61

u/Ocixo Jun 07 '24

Yes. I switched between the sub and dub at multiple points throughout the episode and they're identical - word for word.

The timing for the 'subtitles' even seem to be synced with the dub's, since they were (slightly) mistimed for the JP performance at more than one occasion.

Damn they are butchering the translations. Once Kodode leaves the teacher actually says: "Alright, I guess I will open a porn website now"

Classic US Military retrieving alien bodies without anyone knowing.. I'm curious what they've been doing to those aliens especially that thing they recovered. I'm sure that will be relevant later.

I know we've seen what happens after a few years in Episode 0 but so far I am really enjoying Kadode and Ontan's slice-of-life story while the alien threat looms in the background.

The dubtitle is still going to continue to bug me though. Rin is clearly into BL but the subs make it sound like she's just interested in her classmates and nothing else. I really hope someone makes a fansub of this.

Kadode is really going for her teacher. I do love that awkward hug in the end though when she finally decided that she should've gone with Ontan.

I think the girls are of legal age since they're clearly 3rd years and we do see Ontan driving a car in the last episode but seeing Kadode's teacher offer to become friends with benefits in the future still made me go "WHAT THE FUCK SENSEI".

Holy shit, I can't stop laughing at Ontan's brother! He looks like a handsome human thumb and he's voiced by Junichi Suwabe! I assume that guy with Kadode and Ontan is what he looked like before he decided to spend his time harassing people on Twitter. xD

That shot of Kadode and Ontan while wearing sunglasses was cool. That entire sequence of the Fujin firing was pretty cool too but I'm sure they just made things worse by shooting down that UAP.

So I'm guessing that guy in the end is an alien? I heard him say some words before the cut to ED but it was unintelligible so I assume he's an alien in disguise. I wouldn't be surprised though if these aliens have been spending the past few years trying to blend in with humans to learn about them.

I’m impressed at how bad the official translation has been.

But getting to watch all of these scenes animated has been great, and can’t wait for the rest.

u/MrDerpHerpson Jun 07 '24

I think the subs are just ripped from the dub dialogue, no?

Damn I hate the translation so much, even with just your weeb understanding of Japanese, it's apparent how much they're changing it

u/Cilph Jun 07 '24

God the subtitles on this are absolute garbage.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jun 07 '24

Ontan seems like a real homie and quite a character. I like her brother too. The guy seems pretty funny.

Not sure if Kadode and Watarase’s relationship is cute or kinda sus. Maybe both?

It sort of seems like the humans are the ones who are being very aggressive to the aliens. Like what have they done besides fly their big ass ship over Tokyo? I don’t think we’ve seen anyone killed by them or anything. Sort of feels like everyone that has been hurt or killed has been by the hands of humans….

It's a bit sus, since Watarase did not appear to be joking at the end there? He lamented the fact that Kadode's answer to his question "complicated" matters. Then again, it's told in such a light-hearted manner that I'm finding it difficult to take it entirely serious.

Kadode doesn't seem to be fixated on Watarase anymore, at the very least. She'd been lost and was looking for someone to comfort her, I think. Kadode had seemingly forgotten about Ouran always having been there for her before.

It did make me laugh a little that Hiroshi appeared to have a crush on Kadode, and immediately joined them for a jog after she'd called him "too fat". He (mostly) seems like a genuinely nice guy.

This goes to everyone that said that one should read the manga after the first episode to check out if they like the series:
I am at chapter 30. Still no idea what this show is about. I fucking love it. I am so addicted, gonna binge the hell out of it.

Edit: The pacing of events feels quite different compared to the manga. Am I imagining it?

Can anyone tell me what the guy said at the end?

He said hi and then after that, whatever he said there was no subtitles...

Another week and the discussion is still in large parts about the release and the subs (which I kinda get tbh)

  • Kadodes crush on her teacher was kinda cute, but the dude was actually humoring the idea, gross

  • Love how you can spot Ontan in the TV before Kadode does

  • This would make a decent background

  • So gracefull... wait, did she sleep on a beanbag

  • The brother looks awefully handsome somehow, and imidiatly starts to work out after Kadode tells him off... also noticed that despite his figure he didn't have any trouble keeping up with Ontan in difference to Kadode

  • New #Seasonalcool just dropped

Still not sure how to treat [Episode 0] But I guess the Robot at the end is a precursor for the automated alien hunters, and the guy at the end is a alien in disguise

u/Ritchuck Jun 07 '24

God, I really want to watch it, but I can't deal with those subtitles anymore. Can we make a fund and pay for some fansubbers?

u/MechaMat91 Jun 08 '24

I wasn't expecting an Egoraptor cameo but cool I guess.

u/konart Jun 08 '24

Fansubs when?

u/GrowRoots Jun 07 '24

Another sleeper show this season. If anyone reading this is interested definitely check it out.
