I’m trying something a little different this season and doing quick audio previews. There isn’t much that I’m interested in checking out from the Summer season, so there will probably only be a couple of these this time. Let me know what you think!

I’m thinking of of breaking my “no dub, no watch” rule and watch Sword Art Online at Crunchyroll. However, part of me thinks this show deserves an English dub. I’ve read a few preview guides at ANN and so far, some of the previews have been positive. Maybe I should I brew the no dub, no watch rule for this.

Hope Aniplex USA or Sentai Filmworks picks this up and dub it. I do NOT want NISA to pick this up because NISA refuses to dub their anime.

Oh yeah, Sandy Fox should voice this loli:

I’d rather the companies wait to see if it continues to be good first. I’m not a fan of when shows get picked up before they’re done. That’s such a risky move. If the show shits the bed halfway no one will buy it and the company will be fucked.

The show, by the way, is amazing. You should definitely watch it!

I don’t know I think that Monica Rial should voice Keiko Ayano, but that’s just me.

Sandy Fox ate too many lolis. She’s looking ready to burst at the seams.

Like the format of this review. I think you should do more. Short, sweet and to the point unlike several other shows who want drag a review out.

Thanks JP

That’s funny because I’m a fan of the longer review style, provided its not all summary. I like when there’s lots of trivia like on AWO. A lot of shows rely too heavily on the play-by-play style, which I assume is what you’re referring to. I think that only works when something is totally crazy and the reviewer can convey that in an entertaining manner. In the four years I’ve been doing this, I’ve done both the good and bad version of that. I’d like to think I’ve gotten better at picking and choosing when to do that. If you listen to my early stuff I do it on just about every episode.

Actually, only the 1st two volumes are about them being in that mmo world, the other volumes are about other shit that goes on, in other mmo’s

Weird. That has me even more intrigued about how the show will go.

Me too. Since I heard that it’s going to be 25 eps, I wonder if they’ll only do the first two volumes or go past that.
