Got to see DBZ Battle of Gods over the weekend. Not what I was expecting, but in a very good way. It was a standard DBZ story with DB's humor. That's the right balance I've wanted for a long time.


Meanwhile, I finally gave Fairy Tail a watch one random night a month or so ago. I would've gotten to this show a lot sooner if someone had told me Plue was in it (or rather that it was from Rave Master's creator). I like the pacing, I like the powers/action, I like the character, I like most everything I see. I haven't marathoned an anime this hard in a long time. I'm currently in the middle of the Tenrou Island arc.

Now, I am trying to keep myself in the dark about this show. I don't want to know any of what's the come in the plot. That said, I would like to know what arc the Funimation dub currently ends on. I want to complete the arc before the current arc they are in and then wait for more arcs to be completed.



PS If you're wondering, I'm not going to watch this show subbed. I'm sick of subbed anime.

Blade Raider, why are you sick of subbed anime?

[Powerman293]

So for the double post but PSN is having an anime sale. Most of the movies/sets on sale is Naruto and Bleach related though, but the games include Atlus, NIS and Bandai Namco stuff

Various reasons. If I had to pick one, I just enjoy dubbed more. It's easier to watch and finish and there's no real gain from watching it subbed. Not all the time, just most of the time.

I can agree on how it is to watch dubbed anime rather then subbed. Usually, when I'm watching Gundam or something, subtitles don't impact me that much since I was paying that much attention to the show anyways.

I need to watch Char's Counterattack in English.

You know whats a really good anime dubbed that's been recent dubbed and is fairly new?

Psycho Pass....

1. This Anime is sooo Good
2. Twisted, and just more twisted
3. It's by Gen Urobochi why wouldn't you watch it?

That aside the anime is really good and the dub is spot on.

Gundam is one of the hardest for me to watch subbed. It can be very talky and exposition heavy at times. I'm going to comprehend it a lot more quickly if it's spoken in my language. I cannot fathom trying to watch something like Ghost in a Shell subtitled.

And while I'm on it, Gundam Unicorn may be one of the best English dubs I've ever heard. More of that Sunrise I might consider your insanely overpriced DVDs.

I'm the opposite. I find Gundam to be down right boring in English as the voices are usually subpar and drone on so much that I cannot follow the plots of the show. Hell, some of the actors seem to get worse and not better. Then you have the series that pointlessly change the names of characters and Gundams. I can understand if they wanted to call Tequila something else on Toonami, but there is NO excuse to have its edited dubbed name on my uncut DVDs!!!! Same goes for God Gundam, Devil Gundam, etc.

On the other hand, yes, Unicorn definitely does have the best Gundam dub ever because the actors actually took their roles seriously.

That reminds me. I need to go to the library and rent episode 1 of Unicorn and watch it again just to hear the dub.

I'm glad that somehow people pay these insane prices, and then donate the dvds to the library, so that way I can watch Gundam for free.

I've been watching some clips from English CCA and listening to some of the voices and Char's voice sounds really generic. Considering how distinct his Japanese voice is, it's kinda hard to not compare the two. Bright also sounds really generic on English. But Amuro is fucking perfect, Brad Sawile did an awesome job from the scenes I saw. Granted, I could listen to Brad Sawile's Setsuna trying to open a jar of pickles for 12 hours and call it a fantastic performance.

I watched Volume 2 of DBKai today. Got to watch Vegeta kick some ass. And my god, I love Chris Ayres' voice for Freeza.

I also watched the Dead Zone movie today (subbed). It is an okay movie, but nothing really spectacular. There was also a major flaw in Garlic's plan though. I mean, he tries to kill Piccolo at the beginning of the movie to get rid of Kami, but then he needs to collect the dragonballs to be granted immortality. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... if he killed Piccolo, the balls would have been gone. So why is he acting so surprised when Kami shows up? His plan was very dumb. Overall, I give it a 4/10 stars. It isn't anything insulting, but it isn't very good either. Watching Gohan drunk is probably the best part of it.
