English Dub Review: Gods’ Games We Play “World Games Tour”
Overview:
Fay, Leshea, and Pearl are invited to the city of Mal-ra to participate in something called the World Games Tour.
Our Take:
I don’t know who’s in charge of naming people in this world but when Pearl Diamond is the most normal name we have a problem. It seems like we might have a new team member soon and her name is Nel Reckless, I’m not sure if I got the spelling right but yeah we are getting weirder and weirder names. I thought it couldn’t get any more strange until we met Dax Gear Scimitar, one of the oddest anime names I’ve seen.
Now that Fay and his team have beaten an unbeatable God they have gotten pretty famous. So famous that now they’re being asked to participate in a World Games Tour, where they take on other apostles. Leshea is not happy about this because she wants to get back to the Gods’ Games ASAP, but she’s so competitive I’m sure she’ll get into it once it starts.
I’m intrigued by the forwardness of Nel and I hope she gets to participate in these games even though she’s “retired”. I have a feeling we will see more of her sooner rather than later.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
