Hmm, seems interesting. Will look into it. Thank you.
By the way, Spirited Away was the very first thing of Anime I watched (Excluding pokemon or YuGiOh)
Great introduction to anime if you ask me.
Help with cancer?? Go to doctor
Never seen Samurai Champloo, but if you liked Death Note, you may like...
Kinda picky when it comes to anime, love my older anime for one, and I love pretty much anything with gore and demons... :twisted:
How are you watching your anime anyway? In English, or Japanese? Japanese with English subtitles is your best bet, I'm sure most anime fans would agree with me... :P
In all honesty, you are going to hate me. I watch the dubbed versions. I just find them easier to relate to the characters. I know dubs usually are not done well or have awkward moments, but without the English language I don't relate very well to the characters.
I'd also like to mention that Samurai Champloo is fairly old. (For me; Like 2005ish)
I watched Naruto a long time ago. It was a good show but I feel like it was pointed in the direction of a younger audience. Still has it's good moments though, good story, and well developed characters. I have never seen the newer narutos though like naruto shipuden or whatever they have out, just Naruto. Oh yeah and watch the English dub.
The things I've always hated about anime is that they always drag out scenes for sooo long. Honsetly the only anime series I've watched for more than a few episodes was Naruto.
BERSERK

What is the difference between English dubbed and the original? I only see a difference in the lip movements. Then again I haven't even watch an anime in the original form.

Watching anime dubbed should be a crime
Awesome link!!! Great series too.
I've watched the first two Berserk: Golden Age, movies and they seem to be completely different than these episodes!
Does anyone know if the full length movies are set before or after these Berserk episodes?
Here's a trailer of the movies I watched...(click to show/hide)
For me at least it's more about hearing the characters voice-acted as the creators/writers intended, the quality of voice acting is consistently good in Japanese (and if it wasn't we wouldnt be able to tell lol). Also i've heard some truly shit English dubs lol that largely put me off the idea of dubs, and some dubs are hugely censored for violence and content because Western dubs are often for showing in America, and of course since it's animated it's nearly always aimed at young children. There are good dubs out there though, and usually you end up being loyal to whichever you hear first for an anime, cos that's how you expect the characters to sound from then on.
Reading subtitles as you watch is just something you get used to, i'd already seen a ton of Kung Fu films with subtitles so i was used to it when i discovered anime for the first time. Proper Kung Fu films with Western voices can be more distracting than having to read lol, like in the film 'Hero' where the mighty Emperor of China in the English dub is voiced by that duck who sells noodles in Kung-Fu Panda xD now that kinda made the whole film hilarious and it wasn't a comedy.
I've watched Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell. These are good.
Also watched Fullmetal Alchemist that's alright, but suffers from emo teens saving the world.
That's pretty much exactly what puts me off of most anime, I've yet to see one (aside from the two previously mentioned) that didn't come off as a shitty animated soap opera.
Yeah imo 1% of anime is very good but rest is absolute trash. I've kind of given up trying to sort through it myself but these are what I can remember....
Claymore is good, berserk is way overated.
ghost in the shell film was amazing and quite intellectual. akira was unwatchably stupid and boring.
elfen lied is ok. Hellsing is ok.
shigirui is insanely fucked up and insanely good.
princess monoke is good. moribito film was pretty good.
DO NOT EVEN TOUCH BLEACH/NARUTO/NINJA SCROLL/DRAGONBALLZ/etc.
personally if you think claymore was good and elfen lied was decent you got a pretty bad perception of what good anime is
you should open your eyes up to more intelligent anime, there's a lot better animes than claymore or the likes of it
PS: elfen lied is for horny adolescents its hardly intelligent.
back your posts up with some substance
Darker than Black is a great anime...
