Goofs and shenanigans aside, Iwa Kakeru seems to be a decent sports anime, judging by its first two episodes. Doesn't exactly seem to be standing out or anything but I find it mildly entertaining enough to continue watching.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K has a good English dub mainly because the voices fit the characters perfectly. However, dubbing companies don't go out of their way to ensure that the voices actually fit the characters. They just use whoever is available.

I can't really blame them though, would they be able to justify breaking the bank popular VAs like Tom Kenny or Tara Strong (seriously check their body of work)? The current system allows them to churn out poor quality dubs for people who don't like subs and still make a sufficient return on investment to pay the bills and keep making more trash.
Be nice, bro. See the heavyweights you're name dropping. grin grin
Fun Fact: Tara did dub work for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. Probably before she got expensive.

Can't deny that setting and theme plays a helpful role, though. Explains why they get lucky with the realistic shows than the fantastical ones.

There's another issue I have with this show, I don't know if they ran out of budget, but in the final episode, the animation and voices weren't properly synced at times
This sounds more like a problem with where you watched the final episode than with the episode itself

i dont think so! Its laziness on the part of the eng dubbed voice actors to find the appropriate phraseology in English to properly convey the Japanese meaning..it may not be possible to do direct translation..but believe me, with a little research, you can find english expressions to convey Japanese meanings.

DeathNote eng dubbed was good, for the reasons I stated above...the eng dubbed voice actors really did their research work well, for example, calling someone 'child out of wedlock' evokes different emotional response from calling same person 'bastard!'; you get the point now. With a bit of research, eng dubbed voice actors can nearly interpret, maybe not directly translate, those Japanese expressions!
First off, translating the original language script to English is not the job of the voice actor. That's the job of the script translators and the editors.
The voice actor's job is to bring the script to life.
Seeing as English subtitles to anime exist, it's safe to assume that translation or research is not the overlying problem here. And there's a limit to just how much of a language you can translate. Names, certain titles, even idioms are just about impossible to carry over to another language.
Now, on your Death Note example, it's basically what I talked about in my previous post. Death Note is a story set in a modern day Japan with a near-realistic setting, save for the presence of the Shinigami. The dialogue is grounded and relatable. All these basically makes dubbing Death Note easy as pie. There's no ridiculously flamboyant speech to struggle with, unlike most other action/battle Shounen.
There's a reason why most of the best dubs are from the Seinen demographic.

It's because Crunchyroll and Funimation use crappy inhouse voice actors for their dubs. English language animated series like Archer, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, etc have stellar voice acting.

Dubs are bad because the voice actors either aren't good or don't do their best.
I think it's more about the cultural disparity. There's a reason why most anime with decent English dubs are shows set in modern/post-modern worlds with a Western theme. While the worst dubs are from action shonen set in fantastical worlds with an Eastern theme.
The dub actors struggle, usually unsuccessfully, with translating the emotions and references from the Japanese style.
Most dub actors are also the ones working in the English animated series, too.

The story was bland, animation was bad and some of the gory scenes were kind of unnecessary.
Well, it's your opinion sha.

The people against social media regulation are mostly children of perdition cheesy. They are the same people you find on NL telling Seun to dismiss mods that put them in check. They tend to have one thing in common- wanton disregard for rules and regulation.
While it might be true that some rules and regulations should be applied to the use of social media, I don't trust this government to be the ones to implement them.
And No. Most of the people against social media regulation aren't children of perdition.

yeah dats my rate,so if person rate am 10/10 u go day OK wit it?
I would. It's an entertaining show with an engaging plot, interesting enough characters and absolutely marvelous music. My objective rating is an 8/10. But people wanking the show to a 10 can be overlooked, as long as they don't attempt any unnecessary or stupid comparison.

yeah I think so...........BOZ is dope BT d rate nah
Didn't you rate it 7.5/10? What, then, is your problem with someone else adding 1.5 to their own rating?

What's the difference?
Animation is, indeed, all form of animated content. But anime, specifically, refers to animated content made by or in Japan.
As anime is also used by the Japanese to refer to all animations, you would also not be technically wrong in calling any animated content, anime.
But it's more commonly used to refer to Japanese animation. For example, if you looked up "best anime" or "2019 anime", it would be almost impossible to see any non-Japanese animated content in the results.

I don't even remember any music in it.
For real? Music so good, we have a running joke that Netflix made the anime just to flex on us with the soundtrack.

Warrior episode 5 done and dusted.

Warrior is perfectly paced to leave viewers looking forward to the next episode.



Yi Long is still the best fighter in the series right now.


Dude already bested 2 of the top fighters.
Still catching up on the first season, but not surprised. Something about his composure and fighting style just tells you that the dude is the man to beat.

Read between the lines.
Is he the only American in captivity aboard?


The kidnapped American is I am certain a Counter-terrorism spy working in the West African region for the CIA or Special Forces.



They can't risk such an asset falling into the hands of terrorists.
That will put a lot of their counter-terrorism programmes in jeopardy.
This right here. I'm muzzed that people really think the US will launch such an operation for an ordinary middle class citizen. No government is that caring. Immediately, I read that news, I know say that person na asset.

well bro I read the first season - 155 chapters - and as someone who wasted his time and data to reach point I simply advice you not to bother...see don't fall for a series being popular meaning it's good...it's like god of highschool it's very popular but it's nonetheless trash...I wasted my life on 300 chapters of it only to arrive at that conclusion...but you can still go ahead on reading unOrdinary to personally experience the crappiness...
PS: If you need more manga recommendations let me know I have a fair sized library of recommendations I can give you...
God of High School is popular cos it's technically a fight scenes magazine. It's basically fight pörn. If you came for the plot, you don jam bad market.
