Oh man I forgot how good the FMA dub was, I miss watching that on my TV when we had one and that weird Aniplex channel that vanished

Speaking of dubs, one of my favourites is Darker than Black, I loved how they actually gave the characters voices from the nationality they were based in.

The one that just showed Guyver, FMA, Bleach and Ghost in the Shell in repetition all night? I remember that :lol

But yeah, the FMA dub is really good. What's even better is I watch the original in dub and then Brotherhood subbed to differentiate the shows a bit more for myself.

Yeah that channel! I remember it only being around for a few months and then I never saw it again.

Guess I wasn't the only one who magically lost track of that channel :lol

I assumed it was just a UK thing, I didn't know it fell off the face of the world :lol

Dub vs Sub is an argument as old as the anime genre itself. My two cents are if the dub is bareable and gets 80% of the story across with good character representation through the voice-work, I'm ok with it.

Take the Metal Gear Solid series as an example. Many of the characters in the series are not Japanese, very little Japanese words and terms are used in it and there are more references to Western influences than there are Japanese. Long story short...MGS sounds terrible in Japanese, at least to my ears. Whenever I hear someone go SUUHNAKE-UH! in the cutscences I wince ever so slightly.

Certain dubs are better depending on the series. Hellsing and Darker than Black are another 2 good examples.

There are definitely some great ones like those or Cowboy Bebop. It's all about who made it, the voice cast, and how much care was put into getting it right. Like if they ad dialogue only doing for the sake of better telling the story instead of filling silence for American audiences with low attention spans. I think that cheap and lazy dubs where the norm for so long that it created the culture of sub only purists. I. The 90's it would been hard to argue for a good dub as so few existed.

You want a good dub? Look at Panty and Stocking and Eureka Seven.

Man I wish more super sentai or Power Rangers would have plots like episode 16 of Majestic Prince. I'm glad Asagi worries too much because it added some great drama as Red got his mid season upgrade and the sixth came and stole the show pushing blue down the ladder of importance.

This show sure is slow though, only just introducing the political aspect of the war now and still not really doing anything with Kei and Izuru's relationship. But oh fuck they are past the final defence line!

All caught up on Majestic Prince now, I'm not really happy with how they made Asagi's Harmonic Level rise...by accepting he is second best, what kind of message is that?!

Oh well, epic Klein battle time!

"I destroyed the world, and created a new."

... Best... ending... ever!
