I've been meaning to watch that. :lol

Well, they just added season one dubbed, if that is your thing. I don't always have time to just stare at TV and catch every subtitle so when I can get something dubbed it's nice.

That's exactly how I feel as well. Though for some odd reason none of my friends understand that. :lol

But how different is that to watching kamen rider and sentai subbed

Also I been to watch Sargent frog but I dunno if should watch it subbed or dubbed oh and sorry for the double post.

It's different because Kamen Rider and Super Sentai is live action, plus a lot of the episodes are action driven so there are very few instances of long paragraphs of text that you need to be keeping full attention to in order to understand what's going on.

Still get cause I got set so I can see very thing on screen

I just prefer dubs to subs but if there isn't a dub available I will just watch the sub.

I'm like with short anime if there a dub I will watch it dub but if it short but no dub I watch subb ongoing I watch dub then move to sub when I watched all the dub

Re-watching Madoka Magica in preparation for the third movie on December 9th. :D

So I'm up to ep 4 of AIR, and is that it? Is her arc done?

Like seriously? The heck?

After Finishing Ninja Nonsense, I started Mahoromatic seasons 1 and 2 and it wasn't that bad. Now I'm starting DearS.

Eyup... To be honest the other "heroines" really aren't that important to the overall story as the primary focus remains fixed on Misuzu for the most part.

Oh my... Hope you like it. :D

Well went back to watching naruto from where I left off when I watched on jetix in the uk but I hated the dubbed so I went subbed on it instead.

Talk about abrupt endings...

Eh, I tend to forgive those as their only a small part of a greater whole. It gets better though, trust me. :D

Either works fine. The dub is still funny and the unique jokes are well written for an English audience. I think comedy works best in one's own language anyway. The subs for that show are fine as well but I found a lot of stuff was lost on me.

Up to 7 on AIR... seriously show? Must everything be sudden and abrupt with you?

It's still funny... right? :o

It's kinda trickky... expect a long post once I'm done with the show.

But nonetheless it's been interesting, and made me want to grab the novel, so don't feel bad for your recommendation. :)

Kay. :D

Just finished watching Wolf Children. It was... Beautiful! :cry

So finished AIR, a tearjerking and heartbreaking story that will change your life... but only on theory, on practice is a completely different subject.

Adapting Visual Novels is always a tricky subject, even moreso when you only have 12 episodes to work with and basically 5 different stories. In this case they tried to show all of them, resulting in a not very cohesive and broken story.

The concepts and story of AIR are prefectly fine, and in it's original form must be quite heartbreaking, this is a case of good story that is badly told, not only are the situations are very compressed, but at points it feels like you are missing chunks of the story, the time you are given to get attached to the characters is mimimum and outside of the feathers the 3 main storylines are incredibly disconnected.

AIR has a tendency to jump straight to the dramatic moments, without proper time to develop it's storylines, there are very slow scenes with incredibly long general shots, while other points move incredibly fast without properly explaining the situations or the symbolism behind the show, you understand on time, but it feels like a lot of exposition and stablishing scenes were lost.

Still, the merits of the original story do show through, and the incredible setting and magic realism of this world are quite fascinating, and as such I can understand the reasons why people like this show, it's a good story, and honestly I quite enjoyed the Kanna and Minagi arcs, even in it's compressed form, but undeniably the adaptation work feels sloppy and unrefined.

So did I like AIR? The anime... nope, it's honeslty a subpar work, and a bad handling of the original material.
But the experience? Quite so, Key shows promise with it's interesting storylines and the next two shows have more episodes and more experience behind them, so they may turn out to be great.

Overall, a fun ride, through a subpar anime (imo) and a fascinating world which deserved more.

Fair enough. I enjoyed it but yeah I'll admit Air is a bit of a mess. My best guess is that Air is simply a victim of being cut short and could have easily been made to a twenty six episode series at the least.

Or just make it all about Minagi, because that was totally the best arc in the show. :p

It would have worked better on 26 episodes, or if they had to go with 12, as much as it pains me to say, drop the other two heroines arc, those 4 episodes would have been useful.

Aside from Minagi I agree completely. :D

So then... shall you continue on to Kanon?

But Minagi man, Minagi! :lol

Oh yeah, I plan to watch all three of them, but I guess I'll finish Macross Frontier first, I've had that show on hiatus for far too long.

Her arc was fine and everything... but I just felt that out of all them, hers just felt the most out of place. Just my opinion though. :lol

I can wait. :D

Guess that's why I liked it so much. :lol

Okie dokie, once again thanks for the recommendation. :thumb:

You're welcome. :D

Currently watching the dub of Wolf Children with the help of my pal Losondro! :D

You're welcome :thumb:

Thank you thank you thank you! :D

The fuck did just happen in Samurai Flamenco?

After about half an hour into Wolf Children it dawned on me... how the fuck was I able to watch this in Japanese? :lol

Okay, so Wolf Children. I'll be honest when I watched it Japanese I didn't see all of it and I believe I stopped it just after the winter scene. But, now that I've seen the whole thing in English I have but one thing to say... SEE THIS MOVIE PEOPLE! That's your homework from gun this week, go watch Ame and Yuki Wolf Children. It's so beautiful! :cry

Re-watched 5 Centimeters Per Second. It never fails to make me smile and brings tears to my eyes.

Since I couldn't watch Frontier today, I decide to start with Evangelion... yeah I've never watched it, deal with it. :p

Things that I learned from the first two eps:
-Shinji is a wuss.
-Those things bleed, a lot.
-Genbu is magnificent bastard.
-Bandaged girl.
-It's a Gundam!
-I'ts an Angel!
-Angels follow the Gundam Wing strategy book: Self Destruct!

And the things that I know due to spoilers, which may be wrong or right:

-Shinji is a wuss.
-With a thing for comatose girls... ick.
-Those things bleed, because they are cloned from angels? 01 has Shinji's mother soul?
-Genbu is magnificent bastard.
-Who wants to make everyone into a giant jello pool, for reasons? Somebody'll get strangled in the end.
-Bandaged girl is a clone? There are tons of em, and they may also be related to Shinji's mother.
-I'ts an Angel! There are 7 I think.
-There's this guy called... Kaworu? He may be an angel too... May have the hots for Shinji, I'm pretty sure he is offed by Shinji.
-Asuka... something... mother... something... doll... something... i don't remeber that one very well.


Btw, do the first two eps lack the opening?
*Edit: No, they don't, I just learned that.

I was watching Midori Days when this came up:
