The Aligned Continuity and its a consequences were a disaster for the Transformers franchise.

You jest but I genuinely know someone who would seriously argue this. And I'm not joking either.

Hasbro's decision to 'localize' the subtitles for the Japanese G1 anime has to be one of the most baffling choices they've ever made tbh. I don't mind them using Western names and terminology for the characters and concepts that existed in both the American and Japanese continuities (like...

I missed this part but fansubs that do this in shows meant for children are the worst. I don't mind light or minor swearing in the subs, like 'dammit' or 'crap' or other mild profanities. And if a character gets really pissed off or in a really intense scene, I'm cool with them dropping like a...

Speaking of subs leaving basic words untranslated, this anime called Go Princess Precure (one of the Precures seasons, as you probably figure from the name of the series) has a character named Miss Shamour who peppers her dialogue with random English words. This series also has two different...

The early 2000s reissue of God Ginrai had blue eyes on the smaller robot (the larger robot kept the red eyes)

I never got into the franchise but One Piece fansubs insisting that nakama cannot be translated into English really did give anime fans brain damage

honestly nah i think it's mostly a combination of sentient mecha like transformers not being as popular as piloted mecha + takara having other franchises like shinkalion which serve as their 'kid-aimed mecha franchises' these days the result is you just get something that, while takara doesn't...

It's pretty much a guarantee that anytime someone says that Japanese actors are better, the person making the claims doesn't even speak a damn word of Japanese and couldn't tell good Japanese voice acting from bad Japanese voice acting.

Transformers is a dying franchise in Japan, so Takara has to try and milk the fans it has over there for as much money as they can.

I pretty much exclusively watch shows and movies in their original language with subtitles. I don't have a seething hatred for dubs like some people have (and I admittedly have a bit of a spin for old obscure 80s anime dubs [and I mean like 'dubs that were just put out by companies who wanted...

I mean, they're already releasing the toy in two versions: the toy deco MP-60 and the anime deco MPG-09 with the trailer. They're already milking the damn mold before it's even come out (or officially announced) and they're doing it in the worst way because they want you to buy both versions if...

That's just cause the red eyes are on the toy deco-based MP-60 release and that's the color eyes the toy had for both the US and Japanese versions of the figure.

I like Legacy Minerva (obviously, if you know me) but it's still weird how Legacy is so focused on toon accuracy (for characters that originated in cartoons, replace 'toon' with 'comic' for comic-original characters that have gotten toys) and yet Minerva...isn't.

The Takara release is going to be identical to the Hasbro one fam and I can't imagine they'd do some TTM exclusive repaint with better flames just because...IDK that just doesn't seem like it'd be enough of a difference to make it worthwhile.

There's a toy store near me that I like going to whenever I can because they always have a good selection of Transformers, both new and used stock, and their prices are like really good too. They don't do that jive that some indie stores do where they overprice new product, it's all MSRP (and...
