The General Anime Thread...

[ZEROX]

Looks like the only hundreds-episode anime that I can swallow are only Gintama, D.Gray-man and about-to-be Space Brother.

Hundreds chapter of manga is fine to me.

 

[DK]

Wtf is this?

Julius Kingsley? All I know that is Lelouch. .__.
Even his voice actor is Jun Fukuyama.

Spoiler

I guess that will explain during a year of under Charles's Geass. Speculation nonetheless.

Asuka called, Lelouch should expect a lawsuit.

 

[Roger the Horse]

That had better not be the Blu-ray that smudges and smears the lines into oblivion.

It's the DVD.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> Another dump!

Lol.

Though I like the new looks of his. Looks like if he was a Knight of Round with that outfit. The jewel hanging on his eyepatch kinda distracting.

On the otherhand, I don't know what to say on this...

 

[kennylmao]

Nope, I got a nyan Azusa. Not interested in getting any other versions of her, only nyan.

I take back my previous statement. Damn, even I am not spared from the rule of 'implied scarcity'.

"It only comes up on the used market every so often... And it said "exclusive"... Plus it only cost a little over the recommended retail price...

Do I really need it? YES."

Back on topic, I started Cowboy Bebop, just the first episode actually, and the dubbed voice for Spike is the same guy as Mugen! This is gonna be weird. My favorite anime is Samurai Champloo but I have yet to watch Bebop.

Dude finally you're watching the best show of all time. Don't watch it dubbed.

 

[AOS-]

Watch it dubbed. One of the better dubs out there.

 

[kennylmao]

Am I the only one here who hasn't watched Cowboy Bebop?

And I'm watching it dubbed. Mugen/Spike is gonna sound weird but I can't find a subbed version.

 

[ZEROX]

Am I the only one here who hasn't watched Cowboy Bebop?

Nope.

 

[Cano]

Then you're not the only one that sucks! Be happy.

You're in for a treat! Also that show is one of the very few where I prefer the dub over the sub.

 

[Shinshiki]

I've seen it, but not in proper order.

Is that your nk?

 

[nk4e]

I really wish it was mine. I would like to own MS and Jets from Macross than a Gundam.

 

[DK]

I watched the dub for the first 10 episodes, and found it very enjoyable. 👍

I had this weird idea...what would happen if British actors were used for English dubs rather than Americans? Benedict Cumberbatch as Gendo, anyone?

Darn, that smile on Miki... so infectous.

While looking up to see which model the Valkyries were modeled after:

On July 24, 2013 it was reported that Leonardo DiCaprio had turned down a role in Star Wars Episode VII and has shown interest in the upcoming big screen version of Robotech. DiCaprio's longtime friend and co-star in The Great Gatsby, Tobey Maguire is set to produce the film while Nick Mathieu will direct.[27][28]

I would watch 100% less dubs.

 

[Roger the Horse]

What would happen if British actors were used for English dubs rather than Americans?

Then dubs would move from sounding the majority of the time like a group of whiny kids with the occasional outstanding performance to actually sounding like real people.

Seriously, most US dubs (there are exceptions, anything Disney does will usually be excellent, Hetalia has a fantastic dub etc.) just seem awful to me, whereas the few anime that have received British produced dubs have been dubbed brilliantly.

I know this might be a bit of a European bias against the states showing through from me, but I do seriously wonder how many american anime voice actors manage to take themselves seriously. So many of them make characters sound prepubescent when they most certainly aren't, and I find that really jarring, even more so than the amount of jar I get from seeing JAPANESE PEOPLE SPEAKING ENGLISH in dubs of anime set in Japan.

This isn't an outright criticism of american voice actors, the US has some of the very best, it's just that the majority of said cream of the crop go where the money is to work on American produced animation (which isn't something I'd change, the quality of the voice acting in Adventure Time, Futurama, Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy etc. are all up to the high standards of said shows and fit in perfectly.), while more niche animation and productions which were originally in a foreign language get lower budgets and 9 times out of 10 lower standards.

I do also find that the calmer, yet highly expressive tone of Japanese is more suited to a large number of anime than the louder nature of US accents, whereas Looney Tunes needs that tone.

At the end of the day, I prefer subs over most dubs, and american accents can be a little excited for my European tastes. That's just personal preference.

 

[AOS-]

I have a thing for British accents, so I'd probably laugh my butt off.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> I simply love the Macross' Valkyre series! It's just, they never go old and keeps on evolving!

-> And yes AOS-, I also have a thing with British & Australian accents too!

-> Meanwhile, I have the same feeling...

EDIT -> Some things that I've found...

English ver. Miku? English ver. Miku. I like the impression of the eyes alone.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ Yeah. It seems like Miku looks a lot more mature here!

-> One more dump for all Rayearth fans!

:0 never seen dat one! Pretty well crafted fanart. Bigger version?

 

[3spddrft]

Any suggestions for Anime with an art style like Lain?

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ Well, Last Exile is one. Then Blue Submarine No.6 is another one! Or Gunslinger Girl too is also similar...

Cano -> Sorry, I just plucked it out from FB...

Anything with Yo****oshi ABe involved should do the trick...

Or, you could just rewatch Serial Experiments Lain. That's the sort of show that demands to be rewatched.
