English Dub Review: Golden Kamuy “The Bodyguard of Barato / Terror! The Mysterious Giant Bird” ; “Love Made Me Escape From Prison / The Terrifying Battle of Deadly Poison! A Massive Snake Deep in the Hokkaido Wilderness!”
In a nutshell. This was mostly a series of OVAs tied to the world of Golden Kamuy that attempts to fill in gaps of story information from the manga that wasn’t previously animated, and for the first time are getting a Dub thanks to Crunchyroll. Why they previously weren’t part of the mainline could either be for pacing reasons or because some of these stories feel like filler at most, even if some of them could’ve had a payoff in the long run.
Overall, these were great filler episodes even if some of them felt a bit off that they were all Dubbed and released together rather than within the timeline of each of the show’s respective seasons which would’ve coherently made sense in the context of why certain characters are in the same room together due to the dynamic nature and alliances this show frequently has. And with the fifth and final season beyond the horizon of this series, it’s only a matter of time to see how it all ends.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
