Every time I see them license something Mazinger I keep hoping that Grendizer will be soon. I saw a theory that Toei or whoever may want more for the license due to its popularity in Europe, and it sounds just real enough, but nothing to do but continue to wait and hope. With the new Grendizer anime coming it would be a good chance.

There's also the Grendizer video game that came out recently (coming soon physically) along with the 90s Mazinger arcade game that got a digital port by Hamster. Of course with it being Go Nagai, I would buy Grendizer regardless but playing and beating the former at 100% last month got me more interested than usual so I too hope it happens. |

I guess any dubbed Reborn! is an achievement unto itself, I just wish they had the resource to dub more (and for their other releases) but I won't look a crazy Discotek gift horse in the mouth.

I would’ve liked it if it the ending didn’t invalidate the entire premise of the special. And then of course you have The Woman Called Mine Fujiko which handles the origin of how Lupin and the others met somewhat better. |

"Futakoi Alternative -- This is the good one!!"
Rare to see a company throw shade at their own titles like that, if they're implying that the original Futakoi isn't good. Which maybe it isn't, in the grand scheme of things, but if you're looking for a cute and cloying harem comedy without much ecchi, it's a decent choice. Futakoi Alternative may be better-regarded overall, but it's certainly one of the most "internally-diverse" anime I've seen. Some episodes and arcs are slow and sleep-inducing, while others are wildly insane. And just to throw in a little love for Tona-gura!, which hasn't been mentioned in the thread yet... It's one of those "they don't make 'em like that anymore" 2000s ecchi/harem comedies. As a lesser-known 2006 title coming out during a production glut, Tona-gura! probably missed its window for a traditional US release amidst the 2006-08 anime market slowdown and crash. If you watch the OP linked by Discotek, you can probably tell what you're in for just a mere 5 seconds in. But Tona-gura! didn't merely feature a pantyshot 5 seconds into its opening -- the show has 13 different versions of the opening, and the only difference between them is that Kazuki Arisaka is wearing a different style of panties in each. So expect plenty of male transgressions and slapstick female retaliation, although unlike the Keitarou Urashima ~ Rito Yuuki brand of "lucky pervert," male lead Yuuji Kagura actively commits a fair number of questionable actions.
I wouldn't count on it -- Discotek doesn't dub anything that isn't a movie or short OVA. I'd have to think that dubbing something like StrikerS (which wasn't terribly well-received back in the day) would be a money-loser. |

IIRC, ViVid & ViVid Strike weren't well-received either but for different reasons. |

Am I in the majority here when I say Digimon Adventure 02 should've received a second season with new DigiDestined instead of cramming the cast into plot-less (at least, for the Season 2 cast) movies?
