Star vs. Evil

Let's talk about the official comics.

What are your thoughts on Deep Trouble? Are you excited about the upcoming return of Alfonzo and Ferguson, and the possibility of a time travel episode in the future?

Marco and Janna childhood flashback when?

It's been pretty fantastic so far.

Star's crappy duplicate being better at proving Ponyhead's innocence and the entire time travel section in the 2nd issue were stellar.

Poor Moon. She used to be such a sweet kid before all that war, marriage, and motherhood got her down.

"Janna is actually a time traveler from the future" episode when?

Do you think Toffee killed Moon's parents? Or do you think they just died of old age?

We've had no mention of Star having grand folks or any appearances by them in Game of Flags. In contrast, we know that at least one of Marco's grandmothers is alive.

So is this just comics or is it the typical "everything star vs." thread?

everything star vs. thread

They are probably ded, but I don't think it's going to have any importance on the lore like as if Toffee killed them or something

Look at the cheek markings on Toffee's pauldron-skulls.

Moon and Eclypsa. Time travel shenanigans?

I'm still not getting the card suits motif in the show. Have we seen every suit applied to someone now?

Might be coincidental, there are only so many symbols that Mewnian women could have.

Well, this is from a tapestry, so it might just be artistic symbolism. Some sort of Moon/Eclypsa connection is still there in that case, but it no longer necessitates shenanigans.

Not necessarily the Díaz

I've been watching the Japanese dub on Niconico up to Blood Moon Ball (can't find later ones). Haven't heard of any weeb subtitling them in English.

From what little I understand the translation seems pretty typical of English media dubbed into Japanese, in that some of the jokes are just sort of ignored entirely and everything sounds like an anime re:dialogue. I haven't really noticed anything that's changed to something totally different. Despite the title, Akuma Buster Star Butterfly, the monsters seem to still be referred to as monsters (kaibutsu) while only Tom would be "akuma."

In terms of how the voices sound:

>Star: Has a higher, more obviously cute voice, but can still sound violent etc. in the battle scenes. Apparently speaks in the Kansai dialect/has the accent, or at least seems to use "uchi" for first-person. Voice never gets as weird as Eden Sher's but still fits well because Star is cute 99% of the time.

>Marco: Voice is deeper than in English and maybe sounds a little older, but it's also good. Doesn't usually sound as awkward as the original but still pulls off the screaming etc. when he's freaked out. I've noticed he seems to say "hi-yah" a lot in the karate scenes and I can't remember if that was the same in English; it feels like it happens more here.

>Ludo: Voice is higher, even kind of cute. It works well enough in the first season when the character's just a joke; dunno if it'd still work when the character steps up his game. The way it is in English, with the voice higher when he's yelling etc. but dropping lower at times when he's speaking normally, definitely works better for the more serious shit.

>Brittney: Seems to have the standard rich anime girl voice. More pleasant to listen to than the English version for sure.

>Ferguson/Alfonzo: Ferguson's voice seems a bit deeper but the acting overall fits with the character and the original performance. Alfonzo sounds like a normal person and he suddenly becomes much more tolerable.

>Buff Frog: Haven't heard a lot but seems to sound deeper/gruffer. The other monsters are all pretty generic; not notably better or worse than English. I've heard some snippets of Toffee's Japanese voice in an ad but it was short enough that I can't really judge.

>Star and Marco's parents/Janna/Sabrina/Tom/Gustav/random background characters/etc.: They all sound fine, not really different from English or noticeably better/worse.

Star's spells are sometimes kept in English and sometimes certain words are translated. The meaning is generally kept the same though. I noticed they removed "nuclear" from one of the spells while keeping the rest the same and I can't tell if that was censorship or what.

Hoping other episodes get put up or if another site has the rest. I'm not sure what Japanese fans think of the dub, since it seems a lot of them watch the episodes in English. This dub is several months behind.

Tell communist Janna something nice!

What do they think of the show?

yes, Star has the hearts

Moon has the diamonds

the mistress of St. Olga's had the clubs

and eclipsa, Star's evil ancestor, had the spades

although honestly I don't think they mean anything other than showing royal lineage

STOP POURING SALT IN STAR'S WOUNDS, GODDAMN

Yeah, Star, Moon, Eclipsa and miss Heinous have the 4 suits.
Solaria has thunders on her cheeks and then there was also the random woman in s1e1 who shares her marks with aunt Etheria.

Is there anybody else in the show who had marks on their cheeks?

I liked you as a banana more. Change back.

Fidel Castro died, best Call of Duty boss

pay F to pay respects

So, Toffee's finger stump still has exposed bone and flesh, decades after the finger being severed by Moon. That means the spell inflicts wounds that can't even heal normally, disregarding Toffee's freaky Immortal Monster regeneration. Does this cause him constant pain? Is his current demeanor a result of the mental discipline it takes to not be driven mad with agony? He looks from the tapestry to have been a lot more warlike and outright violent than he is now- the difference is sharp.

I think Star's defining feat (the one to go on her tapestry) will be creating and using the only spell that can reverse the otherwise permanent wounds caused by her mother's invented spell.

>quadruple dubs
very nice

link?

Why would you watch a show in a different language when you are capable of watching it in its original language?
(you are posting on an English-language site, after all)

Presumably Celena, but we can't actually see her cheeks because of the wand/fan. I'm guessing they're crescent moons because that's the symbol all over her version of the wand.

It's probably not popular enough that someone off the street in Japan would know about it (hell, it's not that popular in the U.S.), but online it seems to have a pretty decent fandom.

There's a good amount of Japanese fanart out there, and if you search the characters' names in katakana or the Japanese name of the show on Twitter you can see a lot of comments about the show/newest episodes. I've seen a lot of pictures of cosplay as Star characters as well. The episodes I saw had views in the ten thousands, usually.

It's hard to know how it compares to other cartoons in terms of popularity in Japan, but there is a fandom to the extent that there are multiple posts etc. a day about Star.

>quad dubs
>star vs thread

Does this mean we get 4 more seasons or something?

it's sometimes interesting how dubs in other language sound like

like how some people watch dubbed animus sometimes

nicovideo.jp, plus the Japanese episode names typed in the search engine (can be found on the Japanese Wikipedia for the show).

Requires making an account but you can just use one of those temporary emails. Free and doesn't take long.

I have watched it in English. I've seen comments in these threads and on other sites wondering about the Japanese dub, since the show's influenced by anime to begin with.

Also I'm interested in Japanese and wanted to see how much I could pick up based on what I know + my memory of the original episodes.

...

I think he just realised he has to change strategies to defeat Mewni royalty. At his first attempt he tried to do armed uprising, but pparently monsters can't fight magic with brute force. Without army and reasources he chose more subtle path of working off the line of sight probably waiting for a better moment.

I also noticed dub in my mother tongue aired here. 9 episodes so far.

how they did the intro song is really shit, and they obviously used same VA over and over. But they got the childish energetic element of Star right. Marco sounds like he is in his 20s. It's rather mediocre and generic for him. Other than Star, it's mostly that way, no voice acting that make characters stand out.

only good cartoon dub they did well here that I watched was Spongebob, I don't know if that says anything

Random Butterfly family members had circles and I think even bunny heads in Game of Flags

Yeah, I just skimmed through Game of Flags again and noticed there's another Butterfly with cheek marks. She appears only in the part where Moon shifts into her bug form. So that's 4 Butterfly women in total with cheek marks in that episode.

So how disconcerting is it that Star and Moon look basically the same, meaning when Star grows up, she's going to look like her mother does now?

moon and river's names are a reference to song "moon river"

Nah, it's just the basic "cartoon young teenager" shape. When she grows up she may end up looking different

Maybe River's genes will actually give Star a chin when she gets older.

Which language is it?

star already went through the first stage of mewberty

is "dipping down" connected to the adult stage of mewberty?
and if so, what does that stage require? if stage 1 is regular boy crazy hormone-addled teen

does second stage to adulthood involve sex? is is an allusion to it?

I actually really love the design of Moon at 19 (?), even more than Star's, but damn is it disappointing knowing what she'll look like later. Moon just looks really ugly to me.

Everyone wants Star to be super hot when she gets older, and if we ever see an older Star in the show outside of a joke elderly version she probably will be because protagonist, but everyone at the Butterfly/Johansen reunion seemed to be various degrees of lumpy and ugly. Celena the Shy was p hot though.

Being Janna Banana is suffering

...

We have so much cucked star stuff already but almost no evil star

...

>star collapses to ground, emanating green energy
>marco rushes to try and help her up
>looks into stars eyes, they seem to have green energy dancing inside
>"are you okay star?"
>"Never been better"
>star blasts marco with a green energy bolt
>"but i wouldnt worry about me"
>[credits] "I THINK EARTH IS A REALLY GREAT PLACE"

>Star's suffering only prompts more suffering as she unknowingly pushes Marco away
Yeeeeeeessssss

>Marco and Star getting into emotional arguements

I NEED MORE

Moon must have had the most uneventful mewberty ever.

Just reading a book on the palace grounds one day when POOF, wings on the back. She then shrugged and continued reading.

River, who had slathered himself in nectar and Mewnish Fly for a solid week in preparation for the happening, was understandably saddened.

STARCO IS CUTE AND PERFECT!

CUTE AND PERFECT!

Its also fucking dead.

>Star and Marco will start arguing because of Star's buttdevastation of him being with Jackie
SOON

>there will be weeks or months of Star is a cuck jokes and OC

Fucking hell you cruel bastards

DED AND GONE,

DED AND GONE

So why did Star breakup with Tom?

anger issues?

Hold your horses, we still have a season and a half left, if not more.
Anything can happen...

He was trying to control her

>can't even form a working relationship with Tom
How can we even expect Star to be a good waifu for Marco? She'll likely toss aside Marco because of his insecurities.

Star deserves to get cucked.

What's that user?
You want MORE KEK JOKES?

What if Star uses a brainwashing spell on Marco and etc because brainwashing/mind control is a fetish but it's only the men doing the brainwashing, etc

In fairness, Marco isnt prone to violent outbursts of anger.
Plus Tom probably blasts Linkin Park late into the night, and that could get grating

For all her flaws, Star is a good person. She will never do brainwashing on Marco.

But Miss Heinous will.

>She uses it to make Marco cuddle her in his bed
>While looking at his vacant and stiff expression she begins to cry

Brainwashes Marco to fuck her in front of Jackie

but my chinese porn mags don't say that is how brainwashing works, tho

thanks dude, my google fu ain't hackerman level so I was having trouble finding the official comic, just lots and lots of fanart about shipping.
Are there any links for the other issues?

Yeah, yeah.
But this is Cuck vs till the hiatus is over, didn't have the appropriate amount of shitty memes to fit.

These are the only issues to exist so far.
Issue 3 comes out next month

...

"Janna doesn't actualy have a backstory, she simply IS" episode when?

Yes. But she's going to look a lot less dead inside.

Are japanese dubs of English media often good? I live in the Netherlands, and most dutch dubs are kind of bad. With a few noticeable exceptions.

I'm curious about the Star Vs dutch dub. But i'm not sure where i could watch it. Since i don't have Disney channel on my tv.

Love

Are you from the Netherlands like me? Because Spongebob is also one of the few dubs i actually really like.

I'll admit that I was a hard Starco shipper, until I saw how adorable Jackie and Marco are together, now I'm Jarco for life.

Reminder that Blood Moon is evil and is an instrument by Eclipsa to control and hurt Star for his own purposes. Starco is a falsehood.

...

You never were a Starco shipper.

Eclipsa's mewberty on the other hand....

>Snip snip

Even if Starco is endgame, it won't be the same because Jackie stole Marco's first kiss.

It's really sad how zealous you people are over the love lives of fucking cartoon characters. Let him live.

just let them be together jackie

Good, good, Starco shippers ripping themselves apart.

It's not a real physical string that you can just snip-snip with scissors

Exactly

i don't get this one tbqh

>linkin park
Nah, he likes upbeat, cheery and emotional boybands like Love Sentence, it's canon

so who listens to classic rock n roll?
