Now I'm thinking about the really strange anti-America elemental from Gundam 00 with the obsession with Japanese culture. Whats-his-name, the forgettable one that was important enough to recur but not important enough to do much that was significant to the plot.
Graham Aker, Mister Bushido. He was the char-clone in that one.
Thaaat's right, thanks.

Wow, I knew I wouldn't accept the end of that fight...

But I honestly didn't expect they would neuter Bryan Hawk...

This feels like that Rocky movie against the Super Boxer all over again.

And in a odd case of Plot Amnesia the show has somehow forgotten every time the Demsy Roll has been negated or countered... as well as its general weakness.

About to finish Kimi to Boku Season 2. This is the best school slice of life comedy about a group of boys. Which admittedly isn't saying a whole lot since 99.99% of those shows are about girls. Kimi to Boku wins hands-down for characterization and feels, whereas Daily Lives Of Highschool Boys wins for gags and pure idiocy.

I don't really know about any new shows, but I'm looking forward to quite a few continuations: Log Horizon, Gundam Build Fighters, Mushishi, Hitsugi no Chaika, Wixoss, Psycho Pass, Yowamushi Pedal. Those are the ongoing anime I'm definitely watching.

New Wixoss already? I'm down for that if it's as good as the first season.

Also the next guy... in Ippo wasn't anywhere as interesting as Bryan Hawk and really doesn't play off as an "America Elemental".

To me he was included as a counter point of Bryan Hawk because... well... Bryan Hawk is a boarder line racist character... I think Hawk is more of a caricature you aren't meant to take seriously personally (and frankly Japan is not very PC anyway) but covering your bases is a good idea.

I'd say he was meant to be the other extreme, but if you pay attention to the dialog in the Bryan Hawk fight, you knew Eagle wasn't a big deal from the get go... and it really shows...

Where Bryan Hawk was intimidating and actually very entertaining until they neutered him... Eagle was just kind of boring and reminded me a lot about why I don't like Takamura.

He is ok but where Bryan Hawk was a major fight... Eagle actually manages to feel minor... not even a worthy fight. He doesn't feel like an opponent equal in strength. As well where Bryan overcame a lot of his shortcomings with sheer amazingness, Eagle just fell apart the second he was out of his comfort zone.

To admit though the series is still in what I call the "Flawed opponents" stage these things have.

Where all the big opponents lack something like willpower or friendship or some crud.

Which only exists to build up the real opponent they are saving later on.

Though at least we are out of the "Tutorial Boss" stage.

I'm waiting for the dubs, I marathoned the whole thing recently and want to see if the English version will match up well. From what I saw of the first episode from youtube...I think I actually like the Japanese better (oh god I'm becoming one of THOSE)

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

Dubs...

Alright, I'll start the conversation.

Which anime, in your opinion,  has a superior dub vs original japanese sub?

Trigun, FMA, Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell have some of the best ones out there.
