There's no way there will be only 2 new styles in the whole month, right?

The AB banner is running for all of January, so it's basically a January banner more than those 4 days of December.

I really thought they were going to release Operation Perseus Part 3 this month, but I guess they are going to put it out alongside 5.2.2 so they have something for players who are behind on the main story.

dunno why this was deleted in the other thread lol, is there a version without the censorship and/or a follow-up?

>>4361045
Hell yeah, more Akko being bullied by her doms

Akko learns about hag supremacy online so she tries to hook up with Finnelan for the meme
Later that night, she lays in bed speechless and sweaty, completely blown away while Finnelan takes a long drag from a cigarette

“Holy shit Professor…”
“Indeed.”
“I didn’t know your tongue could do that.”
“Age hath privileges, Atsuko. Don’t think for one second this exempts you from the make-up exam.”

Sis not to be an ass, as we both clearly love this film, but the dub is not only wonderful: It's /more accurate/ to the book. It literally rips lines from the book instead of just translating the japanese.
I always watch it dubbed. I've watched both versions, of course. Japanese was my first! I don't see how or why if ever it would be bad. Voices fit the characters and the world, are full of the right emotions and the acting is beautiful.

>>4361735
Accurate, valid and funny. Although some motion capture anime (e.g. gdgd fairies, Tesagure! Bukatsumoni) features voice acting captured live and not dubbed.

>>4361771
Huh. All I can really say is that I only listened to a few lines and found the line delivery obnoxious and pretty reminiscent of standard bad English dubs. (And not just because they had American VAs/accents – after all, the film's not even set in England!) Entirely possible I could have had a completely different experience actually watching the thing through.
>/more accurate/ to the book
>literally rips lines from the book instead of just translating the japanese
Well, the book is in English, so the Japanese dialogue is almost guaranteed to have less of the original than the same film dubbed into English.
I've worked on translations of Japanese adaptations of English-language novels, so it's not as if I don't appreciate in a translation what you are advocating for here. (Though I didn't watch a translation anyway, either last night or when I first watched at Sapporo Cinema Frontier.)
For me it's always what the key creative staff worked on, i.e. the script they wrote and the direction they gave the VAs. There would need to be a significant gap in the quality of the dub for me to consider watching a version other than the original. (Or the other-language version is interesting in its own right, like a parody dub or something.)

>blogsis updated the site in response to my dumb nitpick
Reading it though, I'm afraid you've got it backwards. Anna moved FROM Sapporo, (the capital of Hokkaido and the London analogue), TO a small seaside village. The movie starts in Sapporo.
Despite various English-language sites claiming otherwise, Kissakibetsu is not the name of the village, but merely the closest station. They probably just saw Kissakibetsu in English and assumed that was the town even though they drove from Kissakibetsu to get there, describing the place they're heading as much quieter but not referring to it by name.
Anna goes to 岸浦 post office to post her letter before her first Marsh House trip. That name is never spoken in the film and exists in the real world as a family name read Kishiura. That said, across all of the setting material I've seen online or in my collection of promotional material and the BD the film is simply said to be set in Hokkaido in a village by the sea, with no mention of the village's name. The non-specificity is probably how you got mixed up originally.
It's probably Kishiura, but they definitely took no care to establish this as part of the setting. Maybe a novelisation or some of the BD extras would talk about it more. Incidentally, I came across a fan novel where the writer used it as the name of the town https://www.pixiv.net/novel/series/567795

>>4362259
Maybe you picked just bad lines?
Try watching the beginning minutes. Anna's delivery at the start always brings me near to tears. It's not only the monotone of her voice but the fact that you can feel what she's feeling.
She knows this magic circle exists and she speaks of it as a fact. But there's that hint of resentment there yet trying to pretend she doesn't care.
God I just think it's perfect. And the entire movie is like that, imo. Just perfectly captures the mood of the characters, the atmosphere of the moment.
Also Marnie has a british accent for obvious reasons lmaoooo

Love Bullet actually made it into the list of nominated series: https://x.com/inee/status/1879472925558120898

You can vote for it here at number 45: https://www.anime-japan.jp/activities/ajranking/vote/

Does anyone know when the publisher's account changed its banner to include Love Bullet? https://x.com/kd_globalcomic I don't remember seeing it before but it's probably been a few months since I last checked.

I can't talk with any authority because I know next to nothing about germany in those times, but to me this manga comes across as an attempt at faithfully representing what life was like (with a scifi twist, obviously) instead of just a collection of stereotypes like most mangas would do. I wouldn't call it hardcore either, it's not like the author is trying to imply life in germany was amazing, it's mixing bot the good and the bad while focusing on an optimistic PoV.
They seem well informed at least.

Since we're on the subject of weird ship names, why is sonetto/matilda sometimes tagged with 1486?

>>4361647
86 is the score Matilda got on exam. She lacked 14 to get perfect
