I wouldn't be so sure about Gosick and Nichijou getting English dubs, seeing as many of Bandai's current releases (except K-On!) are sub-only as far as I know. As for Madoka, I'm being cautiously optimistic about it; Aniplex USA did a great job managing the English dub for Durarara!! from what I've seen of it so far, and I hope they can keep up the good work.

Main problem's gonna be the pitch and emotions imo. From the dubs I've seen, not many English voice actors can do higher-pitch voices well, much less consistently, and then afterwards putting emotions into them at the times they're needed.
 
So now most(if not, all) codec packs have 10bit h264 support, animu is now going to be higher quality while at a lower file size.

What are your opinions on this?
 
I like Coalgirls so it won't me much smaller, but honestly as long as it plays on my laptop I'll be happy.

Haven't done this in a while, what did you guys think of Needless? For some reason the op makes me want to pierce the heavens.

Needless is a big yes! It was brilliant in every way possible.

cooool although I don't really understand the significance of different fansub groups. I understand there's a difference as some of my friends are really picky about who subs what but I can't tell >o< enlighten me?

Guilty Crown
Persona 4
Gundam AGE
Ika Musume
fate/motherfreakin zero
Last Exile
Working
Mirai Freakin Nikki
Bakuman 2
Shana III
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

Is there a chart or something for the Fall 2012 anime? Or is hasn't been released?
 
Mm..interesting lineup. There a couple I might try out; Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai, albeit generic, and Bakuman 2nd season.

The Summer anime were too horrible; I hope the Fall season is better.

EDIT: And thanks for the chart.
 
This season, horrible? we're obviously not watching the same shows. Usagi Drop, Penguindrum, No.6, and the rollover shows like Exorcist, S;G and Nichijou. Also I'm not watching yet but Natsume and the Gintama restart have all had good reactions.
 
The 'rollover' shows are not what I was talking about; Ao no Exorcist is one of my favorites. Usagi Drop was one of the better shows, but No. 6 was mediocre; at least to my standards. As for Penguindrum, watched only a couple of episodes, so cannot judge. I'm also going to watch Gintama'.

Scared Seven, Dark Rabbit something, R-15, Manyuu Hikenchou, and even Baka to Test 2 are horrible, yes. Very. Dantalian no Shoka even wasn't that all good. Did you try those shows? If not, don't.

The season in general was disappointing, with a few exceptions like some you mentioned.

I tried a couple and I agree but tbh nobody was really expecting much from them. Dantalian no Shoka is ok but you're right nothing special.

Forgot to mention Kamisama no Memochou and Blood-C in the last post, they're the same as Dantalian for me atm, neet more time to judge but showing some spark. (A bit of a Clamp fanboy to take that last paragraph with a pinch of salt)
 
Weird, I just learned about Kamisama no Memochou, lol --has an interesting synopsis and a couple of good reviews. Might try it out for the sake of having a better opinion on this season. As for Blood-C, a show I had significant expectations for, it failed to deliver and although commenced not-so-bad, took an ill-advised route into "WTF?!" and "BORING" land. The action scenes are also weak. However, from the looks of episode 5, one of the best episodes so far, it is showing hints of promise.

Not sure what you have been watching to make you think this season is horrible.

Go watch some penguindrum and uta no prince-sama.
 
Ooooooh I heard that apparently, C3 is supposed to be a big trick like Ga-Rei-Zero was. You know the whole...well I won't spoil it but those who watched GRZ will understand. Here's what I'll be watching~

Busou Shinki (Because I collect the figures)
Senjou no Horizon (I love shows set in the far future where earth is beautiful)
Fate/Zero (Fate/Stay Night was EPIC)
Working!! S2 (YAY! I loved Working!!)
Last Exile (...Okay the description alone sold me. I'm not familiar with the franchise >_<)
Un-Go (I read the description on another chart and it sounded good but I can't remember what it was)
PERSONA 4 (PERSONA 4)
Phi-Brain (Ehhh I'll give it a go)
C3 (Seems interstingly weird)

Maaaaybe battle spirits too, but I'm gonna have my hands full.
 
So by trick do you mean that
Spoiler:


Fall 2011 looks far from impressive, but at least it doesn't seem to be dominated by bad light novel adaptations and "cute girls doing cute things" shows like the previous few seasons. It also has the first Bones show that I've been interested in in a couple of years, which is promising. Sadly, though, for the second season in a row there's nothing from SHAFT. Are they too busy with Kizumonogatari or are they rolling in too much Madoka cash to care?
