Watched Children Who Chase Lost Voices last night, pretty show, touching story, was doing fine until the ending song starts.

"Hello... goodbye, and hello..."

I haven't really been following the anime scene for the past year and a half. So, I'm looking for anything good that has come out in that time
in the vein of ridiculous over the top stuff like Kill la Kill or Gurren Lagann.

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

If you want a third to even out that set specifically, the most obvious answer is FLCL. That said, KlK was designed to be the female counterpart to TTGL so it's hard to say you'll find something like it elsewhere. However, you might like anything by Imaishi, including Dead Leaves  and Luluco.

I remember Kekkai Sensen getting pretty crazy, though it certainly didn't reach TTGL (or even KLK) levels.

[Max™]

Uh, Keijo is over the top ridiculous.

[Reelya]

OT and current, Lemon should watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

[Max™]

JJBA is very over the top, the missus said it was like "a most ridiculous opera" and I think that is very apt.

That's strangely brilliant, yeah.

[lemon10]

Thanks for all the recommendations guys. Will check them out.

One Punch Man would be the obvious one, along with the similar show by the same guy, Mob Psycho 100.

Izetta is alright but I feel like its plot structure is beginning to collapse because it seems like the writers don't understand how to get from point A to point B without massive ass pulls.

Two characters, immediately after pulling off a deception, loudly discuss aforementioned deception in the middle of nowhere so Random Soldier Kid can overhear them while wandering past for some dumb reason. Then it turns out that the Fantasy Germans had a single spy in Fantasy Tyrol, some random sergeant who turns out to be, by complete and utter coincidence, the superior of Random Soldier Kid even though to my recollection he didn't show up before the Fantasy German Magic-Gestapo guy mentioned "We have a spy investigating".
Random Soldier Kid then decides to confide to this random guy that he heard plot relevant information. This isn't because the guy uses his spy skills or persuasion or anything, the Kid literally just lets it all spill out to the first person he meets. Apparently the only skill you need in this universe to be a spy is supernatural luck. This is the sort of plot that I'd expect from a wartime propaganda poster, not an actual work of fiction.

Has One Punch Man been dubbed?

[Max™]

Yup, I like the Saitama voice they got a lot, they did a good job overall, though I know they were trying for a certain joke with Genos I just don't like it as much.

[Folly]

Has One Punch Man been dubbed?

My source is showing the first 12 episodes dubbed, but not the 6 specials and 1 OVA.

[Reelya]

Which is normal. Different companies have the distribution rights to the different formats because they serve different markets. e.g. it was dubbed by the people who bought the rights to the TV broadcast version. But some other company entirely handles selling DVDs, so those license rights don't extend to the DVD specials. Additionally, OVAs are normally sold along with the manga, meaning they're licensed via the book publisher not the TV channel. If you just up and dub that they might think you're cutting into their slice of pie.

What I think people don't really take into account is that a franchise is made of many different products, each of which has separate licensing issues and stakeholders. So it makes no difference if there are two separate episodes of the show which are basically the same, if one is part of the show and the other is an OVA, legally they're completely separate.
