Bitches don't know how to deal with subtitles. I swear I must be one in a small percent within the fandom of anime who doesn't mind them.

Seen Hellsing so yeah. Also calm the hell down man.

Lol, sorry also I don't mind watching subs but it's just a distraction as you're trying to read the subtitles to figure out what the hell they're saying and at the same time trying to watch the actual damn thing, plus there are the instances where the subtitles are fucked up fansubs & not official ones, also if you haven't seen Black Lagoon yet, watch it is amazing and it's probably the only anime on Toonami right now that has its full opening & ending themes in use and it's TVMA so it's gonna be pretty damn funny .

I thought it was pretty unanimous that the sub is better? If you can't read like four words at the bottom of a screen while concentrating on anything else...especially in a toku forum, then I worry...

[KR Blade King Form]

Well I'm only talking about for anime dude, the Tokustatsu shows are a different case entirely, plus there are some animes that are better dubbed, like Black Lagoon I mean the way the characters sound in the dub are amazing & the whole first season in dub was hilarious, gonna be on episode 2 tomorrow with Toonami's usually one episode per Saturday night basis now that they are on Adult Swim, why the hell else do you think teen & adult animes are being aired on Toonami now .

Saying that anime fans who prefer subs are in the minority couldn't be more backwards

[KR Blade King Form]

Well there are some animes that are subbed only even when licensed in North America sadly, but damn Black Lagoon is awesome in English.

Some series I like better in Japanese, others I like better in English. It all varies upon the voices. I prefer Tiger & Bunny, Hellsing, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Big O, Wolf's Rain, Psycho Pass, and One Piece in English, while I like Escaflowne, Noir, Dragonball, most Gundam, Gankutsuou, and Yu-Gi-Oh! better in Japanese.

It just depends on who dubs it and how it is dubbed. If I get something from Funimation, I tend to watch it dubbed first and if the dub does not work for me, I will then switch over to the Jp version. However, I'd say 8 out of every 10 series released over the last several years have amazing dubs.

I like the dubs of childhood shows because that is what I grew up with, and hearing Goku with that helium voice or whatever is just super weird for me.

About the only shows I've seen as an adult where I liked the dub was Big-O because it sorta suits English better..? It's hard to describe.

And Darker than Black, as that featured characters from around the world and although a lot of the time it was laughable I did like that they tried to incorporate the nationalities into the voices and they weren't all just Japanime.

Yes, it answers most questions. I feel it is pretty conclusive. It was satisfying... up until a point. There is no sort of reset; there's no going back from where they went.

But there's just one thing at the very, very end that I can't go into detail about without ruining a great deal that... Does soil the ending. The return to the status quo stuck to that a bit too much.

Kill la Kill 22. Dat joint transformation .

Man this was an EPIC episode, I seriously fall in love with Ryuuko a little more every episode, that and the soundtrack. This episode felt like a call back to the best parts of the earlier episodes. It's just a shame about the constantly uncomfortable incestuous overtones.
