American dubbing is so baaaaaaaaaaad

Not all imo. I still like English Cowboy Bebop more. I think even the series creator had a soft spot for it (not sure where I heard that now though).

FreedomEclipse · Oct 5, 2017

Cowboy bebop is definitely one of the better dubbed ones

There's only a handful of animes where each voice actor actually suit their role or the character they are trying to portray

I thought lot of the 90s manga OVA and anime dub was alright really,specially ones that are rated 12 and above.
Tenchi Muyo english dub was pretty good, Outlaw star i quite liked aswell, Guyver was decent too and many more i can't think of on top of my head.

Early Robotech/Macross was pretty good too. I think the problem is when anime goes into more kiddie territory like Pokemon, Digimon or Beyblade etc etc and older voice actors have to voice much younger characters is when things start going a little down hill...

I think you may be right. Although I don't watch Pokemon. I'd agree on all the shonen jump stuff.

Pokemon i thought was good,being a kid when i watched it but now i can't really stand what they have done to it now.
After watching Digimon S1+S2 and Yugioh in japanese i hate the english dub even more,some of the worst excuse of dub i've seen has to be Duelmasters.
Some of the english dubs i've seen so far that i rate are:
Tenchi muyo
Guyver OVA
Outlaw star
Legend of 4 kings
Zone of the enders
Robotech/Macross was good..until i watched it in japanese

Cowboy Bebop even has the best Latin America dub I've ever heard.

Finished Made in Abyss last night, now the Abyss compels me to read the manga.
Man, if a dog with a wig was sad, poor girl.

I imagine it would. Something about it lends well to the Western world in general maybe.

Not anime, but I got on a Star Wars kick. So I'm watching Clone Wars. I had held off watching Rogue One until recently (since I didn't care much for Force Awakens), but I loved it. Best SW since IV and V. Kind of viewing everything in a my own weird order.. so I'm at the Clone Wars series now.

rogue one actually felt like star wars. it had its flaws (like all the original trilogy) but goddamnit it was fun.

still havent watched clone wars.

Shokugeki no soma (food wars) season 3 has started, for those who want to punish themselves with naked man chefs

Thanks for the reminder.

I watched Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai (Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist) more for the comedy but the nakedness depicted wasn't an issue for me.

ShurikN · Oct 9, 2017

There's an ova between season 2 and 3 that somewhat connects the story.

It was funny that I found myself agreeing with Lucas apparently. He liked Rogue One too.. and criticized Force Awakens.

If I had a kid, I'd tell them to watched Rogue One first now...then IV

Clone Wars is good (the 3D one at least. Haven't seen the animated series). Takes place between 2 and 3.

Finally watched DBSuper 109 and 110..finally getting good.

Anyone see that live action Death Note on Netflix?

Don't. It sucks. They managed to mangle every character... I always expect different presentation when adapting a story, but all of their motivations are completely different too.

Only highlight is Wilem Defoe's voiceover for Ryuk.

I could of told you that before you saw it

Well, I'm fairly new here. Must've missed the discussion.

The live action Japanese one I saw was better. Part of it was better than the show too... I never liked the idea of Near. It combined Near and L into one character and he finally took Light down.

FreedomEclipse · Oct 14, 2017

Very few live action adaptations tend to be good. There are a few that are really good though

I can't think of a single one. I don't even like that Japanese Death Note. I just wished the series itself was shorter and Near never existed.

I somewhat recall liking Nana.... but the fact that I can't even remember must mean it wasn't that great.

Rurouni Kenshin Is a better one. but then its something that Japan have done by themselves rather then have foreign actors take up the parts. I havent seen all the live action adaptations but the Japanese tend to do samurai adaptations pretty well. I wouldnt say that Rurouni Kenshin sets the 'gold' standard' but it is exceedingly good compared to Death Note, Attack on Titan, Casshern Sins etc etc.

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Outside that Death Note though, Netflix has been pretty good with the regular animated series they've distributed.

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged 8 is out, enjoy.

Ahhzz · Oct 15, 2017

I liked the live action Rurouni, and enjoyed the live action DeathNote. The Netflix version wasn't nearly as good, but I didn't puke

Guess I'm not a purist heheh

I hate to call myself a purist too.. It's just that the motivations in the Netflix one were so different as to be unrecognizable. They make Mia the aggressive one, when she was so cuddly and naive in the original. And Light is some outcast emo, instead of the genius and confident kid who had everything going for him. It's what made him so formidable against L. The bulk of the show was the gamesmanship between the two.

Jojo bizarre Adventure diamond is unbreakable and Ajin live adaptation is coming up aswell..The CGI for the Ajin and Stand looks good but other than that doesn't look promising.
