I started watching it four times or something before I got past the first episode, and I swear to god that I was still forgetting their names by episode four. Say whatever you want about 50% Off, but it sure is a lot more memorable than the early parts of the anime proper. I love the series dearly, but ye gods, the first half of the first season is slice-of-life that's not particularly good at what it's doing.

I feel like this is a weirdly common problem with anime for some reason

"slice-of-life that's not particularly good at what it's doing."

That's an excellent way to describe that.

I can't watch the official english dub because the 50% off voices ARE the english voices for me... somehow they stuck and can't be unheard lol

Yeah, Nagisa's voice sounds especially wrong in the English dub. Lol He'll always be Thugisa to me.

(Anonymous) 2018-08-01 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so sorry.

I can still hear Nagisa's "This reminds me of prison" LMAO

(Anonymous) 2018-08-01 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Damn it, now I hear it too. Lol
"Ooh, ooh, this definitely reminds me of prison!"

50% Off Nagisa is one of the best fictional characters of all time.

Honestly, I never got the appeal of 50% Off. I watched the original anime and liked it a lot, it was a self-indulgent slice-of-life which yeah is just generally hard to take seriously. But the jokes in 50% Off just never seemed FUNNY to me? Idk.

(Anonymous) 2018-08-01 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
You’re not alone. I’ve never found 50% Off funny and am a bit perplexed by its popularity.

(Anonymous) 2018-08-01 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's how I feel about most abridged series. They are just rarely fun or original.

(Anonymous) 2018-08-01 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Haha I did watch and love Free season 1 before 50% off came out, but hadn't yet seen the series in English dub yet. I got so used to the 50% off voices that the real dub just doesn't sound right. Especially Nagisa, lmao.

Though fun fact, the two guys who did 50% Off were apparently guest voices in the official Funimation dub.

(Anonymous) 2018-08-01 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously? Do you happen to know who they voiced?

(Anonymous) 2018-08-01 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Two minor characters on Rin's swim team, I believe. They were invited to do it because of the popularity of 50% Off. They made a video of the process, super funny.
