Favorite Animes

I was disappointed in Samurai Champloo...as I have said before.

I totally forgot about Kareshi Kanojyo no Jijyou (His and Her Circumstances). I loved that series...well, up until the end....freaking Gainax.

God, the last DVD was awful. Not like it was bad, but really aggravating. However, I won't hate it based solely on the fact that they'd BETTER come out with another series. The manga's still going on, so they definitely can.

C'mon, though. Intoducing a new character and devoting the entire second-to-last episode to her? What the hell? Then not resolving or ending anything after that? Ugh.. But the show is fan-freaking-tastic.

I really didnt have a problem with the new love story starting...I actually thought it was kind of cool...but half the series involved the preperations for the Festival...AND THEY NEVER SHOWED IT. That is what got me. The series was great...had they included the Festival, it would have been even greater.

After watching the series, I seriously considered buying the rest of the manga...but then I got over it.

Bump?

I finished Stellvia as I said I would (actually, I finished it about a week ago..) and I add that to my list.

Stellvia was absolutely incredible. The intro / ending themes were astounding, the animation was crisp, the storyline was original (though I continuously related it to Ender's Game), and the characters were interesting.

Hey why isnt anyone giving love to the Get Backers'???

[Squeek]

Because I cannot EVER seem to find it.

It's on the list of things I intend to see, but it's not easily locatable for some wierd reason.

If you are trying to find the manga...they are hard to find and only like 3 books of them are out...if you are trying to find the show NEVER LISTEN TO THE DAMN ACCURSED ENGLISH DUB, it sounds so horrible compared to their Japanese versions.

...NEVER LISTEN TO THE DAMN ACCURSED ENGLISH DUB, it sounds so horrible compared to their Japanese versions.

Isn't that the case with ALL ANIME IN EXISTENCE? The English dub never can even come close to the original Japanese sound track. Most of the time, the company that dubs the anime will just make up a script, rather than translating the Japanese script.

And since I don't recall if I posted in this thread or not, I'll combine two things together here: my favorite anime, and defense for a decent dub. FLCL- without question, the greatest anime of all time. The Japanese version is excellent, and the dub keeps nearly all of the script in tact. The few things that they changed were references to Japanese culture and were replaced with references to American culture (cherio pop replaced with crystal pepsi, and something about chopsticks changed to a conversation about sporks). Add this to the fact that the dubbers used the original Japanese soundtrack(The Pillows music+original sound effects) and just recorded new voices, makes this without a doubt the most faithful dub I've ever seen.

However, in spite of all this that I just typed defending the dub, you should still see it subtitled. The only possible reason to only see it in dub form is that you have Cartoon Network, but so slow of an internet connection that it makes downloading 6 episodes of an anime really lame.

Cowboy Bebop was dubbed well. Though after watching all 26 episodes in Japanese, then watching the movie dubbed, the voices seemed a little goofy.

[xObserveRx]

Being a romance fan (oddly enough), I tend to gravitate towards romance themed anime more often than not.

Some of my favourites are:

Ai Yori Aoishi
Onegai Teacher
Onegai Twins (okay)
DearS
Inuyasha

I also like other animes too. Non romance ones that is. One of my favourite animes ever has to be:

X (also called X/1999, X tv) NOT the movie though, only the series.

also:

FMA (honourable mention)
Princess Mononoke (honourable mention)
Spirited Away (honourable mention)
Last Exile (Honourable mention)

[BlueFlameZero]

Trigun, Naruto, Cowboy Bebop, stuff like that.
