IMO Funi has a habit of making many of its shows and dubs look worse than they actually are in their trailers…but I really don’t know what to think of a show whose trailer features a foot & dominatrix fetish.
The trailer is called “Just as planned” (though the line in it is “Exactly as planned”). I award it “negative points” for not homaging Death Note
ANN lists Tatum as the scriptwriter for this dub but I didn’t hear a single 5±syllable word in that entire clip. Has Tatum finally been “Fostered”, forced to tone down his scriptwriting?
