Three questions for anime fans

Post Reply New Topic

1. What are your favorite anime series?

Axis Powers Hetalia, Bleach, Keroro Gunso, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ouran High School Host Club, Lucky Star

2. Do you prefer subs or dubs?

I like reading and hate US voices. Therefore subs.

3. What anime series do you think are underrated?

Hmm... well, FMA. It gets a lot of slack because of the terrible dub and rabid fanbase, but cut it some slack because once you get past these, it's quite cool. I wish I could say the same about Naruto.

Magnús Scheving is my Icelandic rose

The Slayers (dub or sub, but prefer dub, because of Zelos in the first three seasons)
Rurouni Kenshin (sub would work fine for me)
Cowboy Bebop (definatly dub)

I thought FMA was quite popular for it's dub, isn't that why Vic Mignogna is so popular. I myself watched via the dub, I wouldn't exactly say it is underrated, it is probably one of the most popular anime series there is, though I guess the fanbase is a litle rabid.

1. What are your favorite anime series?

Full Metal Panic, Ghost in the Shell TV, Excel Saga, Gundam 00

2. Do you prefer subs or dubs?

Subs. Dubs are usually hit or miss. More of the latter usually.

3. What anime series do you think are underrated?

Princess Nine, Twelve Kingdoms

It may seem a bit strange, or maybe not, but I really felt like a kindred spirit with Utena. I've never felt like I've fit in with other men, but I'm not a cross-dresser or gay, I just don't feel like I'm one of them. However, I did always want to be the Prince and to fight for my Rose Bride Ugh, I'm getting misty just thinking about it, like that typical anime cliche of someone spacing out with stars over their eyes Shakespeare was my bread and butter for many years, and I still love the bard, and I found this anime very Shakespearean. While it didn't directly correlate to any specific tale of his, all the duels and the backbiting and such just reminded me of one of his plays. And the gender bending reminded me of his fabulous comedy, "Twelfth Night".

I agree with you about your previous comment that the animation may be a bit old, but it still looks very good. And some of the architecture is very well designed, which is often something that gets horribly overlooked in American animation, especially of that period. Even if some of the sets get repeated a lot, it was still never distracting like some older anime is.

I would say that the only thing that I would like to change about it, other than re-releasing it so that more people have access to it, would be that I wish Anthy deserved Utena more. Usually I'm always on the Princess's side, because males (especially in Japanese animation) tend to be stupid and insensitive to me. But in this one I thought Utena was great and that Anthy needed a bit of work on being more genuine and actually fighting for Utena, not really physically, emotionally.

It's been several years since I have seen it, so I am probably forgetting a lot. I'm very interested in hearing what you have to say about it

1. What are your favorite anime series? Too many...some of which I would hate to admit

2. Do you prefer subs or dubs? SUBS

3. What anime series do you think are underrated? Many of them

my favourite animes are: Naruto shippuden, The dragonball series bleach and Full metal alchemist.
I prefer subs
and i think the anime Love hina is Underrated, and not too well known but it is a very comedic anime.

1. Trigun (#1 favorite of all time), Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Outlaw Star and when i was a kid i loved Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT

2. Ive honestly never watched any sub versions of anything but DBZ and i couldn't stand Goku's effeminate voice. (and i dont speak Japanese) He supposed to be the strongest guy in the universe why the heck would he sound like that?

3. Why did they quit showing trigun on adult swim?! I mean they keep going back to showing Inuyasha and cowboy bebop and they're both all reruns too. not to mention Inuyasha is terrible

1. 07-Ghost, Code Geass, Death Note, Ouran High School Host Club, Trinity Blood

2. I actually prefer dubs. A lot of dubbed anime are very well done despite what many other otaku may say. I usually only watch subtitled anime for a few reasons. (1) Very new anime (such as the first on my list above) or anime that has never been licensed for an American release, have to be watched with fansubs as it is the only option other than raws, which I unfortunately wouldn't be able to understand (mostly). (2) At anime clubs or anime conventions where I don't have a choice. (3) Some anime (Loveless, Ramen Fighter Miki) are actually released officially without a dub version at all.

3. 07-Ghost, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Princess Tutu, Chrono Crusade, Vision of Escaflowne, Samurai Deeper Kyo

I'm no anime veteran, but I just watched Spirited Away tonight. It was the first Hayao Miyazaki movie I've seen and I loved it. It's definitely one of the best animated movies I've ever seen.

I'd like to add more to my question 1 answer.

Kanon 2006, Beck Mongolian Chop Squad, Pani Poni Dash, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, and Outlaw Star.
