Re: Anime, Manga and other fun things!
Naruto and anything shoujo. Shoujo is to me like trashy romance novels are to older women. Can never get enough of those even though every plot is almost the same. *_*

I really liked the first three seasons of bleach, and as far as I am concerned the show ended there.

Re: Anime, Manga and other fun things!
Yep, I need dubs because I suck at reading subs. It goes way too fast for me, with my poor vision, and I lose out on most of the conversation. Though, I do what Maria does too, often looking to see the dubs matching up with the animation, It's sometimes a hit or miss. I did read somewhere once that it's common even in the original Japanese, so don't be alarmed to see it in English dubs too.
And yes, Maria, I was annoyed when Brotherhood wasn't complete on Netflix... so I bought the whole dvd set. lol. That was back when I had the money to do that. I wonder if "Black Butler" is on Hulu, being that my sister missed out on it because Netflix took it down after a while. >_<
I love that series and wouldn't mind watching it again. ^_^

It's in Hulu's advertising that the provisions for watching their stuff on anything that ain't a computer screen (mobile devices, TV sets, etc.) is built into the Hulu+ subscription service.

Originally posted by Maria de Luna View PostI speak 0 Japanese but prefer subs, I know alot gets lost in translation, but at least when they are not worried about matching words to mouth movements I feel like they tend to have slightly less dysfunctional stories.
I think the real problem is just the subtlety of the language. They'll often only say part of a sentence and the rest is just implied, but we don't do this in English, so the person subbing has to try to imagine what is missing. People will have different impressions of what was being implied. I doubt it makes any difference to the story though.

Originally posted by Jembru View PostOh cool! I wonder if I can get it on PS3? We have netflix but we both prefer to watch anime in Japanese (me because it's practice, JP because he's an anime snob), so we never bother with the anime on there. I haven't seen much anime dubbed but from what I have seen, the voice acting seems pretty appauling. Also, if the subs are anything to go by, it's not just snobbishness, key details honestly do get lost in translation. I can't read subs and concentrate on the Japanese at the same time, but JP can and he'll sometimes pause to show me the English translation and we'll have a good groan together. Not that either of us could do any better of course!
I'll mention hulu to the J man when he gets home.

Originally posted by Maria de Luna View PostThey actually have quite a bit, I am already a hulu plus subscriber, but they have a more extensive collection than netflix I think. Some of the ones which are not complete on netflix show up in their completion on hulu, mostly the originals too, rather than dubs. Hulu also has all of FMA brotherhood I believe, it was not complete on netflix last I checked.

Originally posted by Jembru View PostWell, I was surrounded by Japanese people last night so managed to ask about Doraemon. The subject really excited everyone. He could be one of the most popular anime/manga characters in Japan. Seems he provokes a lot of childhood memories so everyone loves him. Apparently, he is a robot cat who's ears were eaten by a mouse (I think, I missed the part where they said who ate his ears, but they later mentioned his desire to get revenge on the mice, so I guessed). He travels through time helping people, so is kind of like an earless, robot, kitty, time lord.
I notice that a lot of kid-like anime become staples in the culture, just like our Mickey Mouse and Disney movies in the US. I never really got into kodomo anime or manga like Doraemon, besides Pokemon when I was younger, But I think My Neighbor Totoro comes close to being a kodomo. The weirder the story, the better I can be entertain by it. lol.
Sorry Jembru, I missed so much on your week, because I was without internet until yesterday evening. I hope things went well for you at the event or exam... gathering... quest...thing. ;^_^

Originally posted by Jembru View PostThey most likely will. I had this happen with j.pod actually. I used their free trial and then when it ran out, they never even invoiced me, they just took the money out of my account. It's not a lot of money and I am proud to support the site because it is amazing what they provide for free, but it's the principle. You almost always have to actively cancel your supscription before they will stop taking money out.
