[@paulvillerius848]

I'd love to see something like this again tweaked for a better experience on your side, though I'm not sure how best to achieve that. Watching the entirety of Nils was definitely a mistake, so definitely a limit on how much of a series you need to watch before finishing a round. The short subjects sometimes felt like they were frustrating you all with their insubstantiality, especially in the later rounds, but they're less of a time sink for a bingo round than an entire series, so maybe consider dropping less engaging series early in order to save time while focusing on watching more dedicated series/OVAs/movies that don't fall under... IDK, 20 minutes? 10 minutes per segment? Maybe consider defaulting to original works when given spin-off content, because I really wanted to see you watch Odd Taxi when I saw the thumbnail, and when you said you hadn't seen it and you rolled that supplemental material... oooooooh... 😠 At least you didn't roll the compilation movie.

You and everyone involved did a great job! If you don’t mind me asking, this show looks to be animated in Korea, yet I noticed the lip flaps were for the English words. Was the show animated specifically for your dub, and if so, was the animation complete before you got to work on it, or did they model it around your performance at all? It’s something we were wondering when watching the show, so if you can talk about this at all, I’d love to know!

[@barrettleddyVO]

@@Lextorias Yes, it was animated to the English-speaking actors’ performances; I remember recording to an animatic in late 2020, and then doing ADR work afterward.

Also, the series is now airing globally! (across Europe, Africa, South America, Asia, etc.) It has yet to reach the US, but we should hopefully hear news about a US-release soon. There is also a second season on the way!!

There is a reason for Italy to have the "annoying voice." That was actually part of the gag . Italy was seen be the other Axis powers as being the quote "soft underbelly" of Eroupe.

I gotta say, of all the randomizers, this was by far the most entertaining one, not that the others were bad. Those two chucklefucks really added another element to the idea, not just their commentary, but the idea that multiple people were going through such an absurd challenge together. I find myself drawn to rewatching this one repeatedly over any of the other randomizers as the group element really brought out the most in the idea. Please do more randomizers with other people, it can be theweebcrew or whomever, I really liked what the weebs brought to this one.
