You come to terms with it pretty quickly. Did I mention that this was on a cattle ranch, so we could usually identify by name (if anyone bothered to name that one) the roast beef on the Sunday dinner table? We also collected eggs from the chickens on a daily basis.

Now I want an anime about farm life!




Or you could just play Harvest Moon and get the same effect?

I put it on Adult Swim tonight to see what shows were on Sat nights (usually some anime that i never heard of) and it was Cowboy Bebop! I was so damn happy because i miss watching that show. It was the one about the mutated lobster that was in the fridge for too long. So i went back to work and came back and it was a crappy Death Note episode. DEATH NOTE SUCKS! RAWR

I didn't know they still had that on. That show is a classic. Although that episode wasn't the best. I don't really watch anime on Adult swim anymore. I usually just watch online or torrent. Right now I'm watching Boogipop Phantom. It's pretty interesting.

I don't think that Death Note sucks all the much, though I do prefer the manga and then the subtitled version to the English currently on Adult Swim. Ah well.

I think I'd like to watch Boogiepop Phantom, just cause I keep hearing that it's good. What's it about?

Ange, as much as i like you, your opinion about death note doesn't count because you don't like bleach :tongue: laugh

I wont pretend Ive real all 48 pages. a lot of the posts i did see were talking about what I call "entry lever" anime like DBZ. nothing wrong with dbz or inuyasha ( although inu had a terrible open ending I guess cause it got canceled) but I feel like these are really only the beginning. I have to give major props to adult swim though they have made an attempt to put on quality anime but having seen english sub and english dub I will never watch an english version of anime. They really butcher the translations and add random irrelevant stuff.

3 more things

1 Berserk, Kenshin and evangelion should be on everyones top 20,

2 AKIRA does not get the respect it deserves fore it is the “Michael Jackson's thriller” of anime and set the bar to a new level

3 I am looking fr the next “epic” anime. Right now I am going back and watching ones I missed or didn't finish like 12 kokki, gundam seed, and wolfs rain. Is there an old (1997-present) that is close to the level of a kenshin, hellsing, gungrave,tenjo tenge, samuari deeper kyo, ( yeah I prefer the action)


*disclaimer* I am far from any type of anime expert. I'm sure half of you have seen more anime than me. I am very picky

I could never get into Eva, it was good for the first 10 to 15 episodes, then it got crazy and deep and I got confused as to what was going on. But i go love the mechs in that show =D

And death note still sucks just btw :tongue:

Best anime ever???fall back son it went from good to great to weak to good to better to random story line because they are too close to the manga. I think it shot its load when he went to save rukia but we will see what happens when they continue the main story line
kenshin makes bleach look like a joke

I think if your still watching japanese anime with english voice acting, you aren't a real fan.

its not the same, its edited beyond all believe, and NOT GOOD.

English Sub titles, with the original language, whether it japanese, chinese, korean, or whatever other language it may be in, DO NOT RUIN MY ANIME.


THAT IS ALL.

I may not go as far as saying you are not a real fan but i have to quazi cosign with you. there is a considerable difference between a sub and a dub. I say subs all the way

I would, because your missing out on so much, and yet at the same time you say you like it.
Its not the same anime i'd be watching if its edited.

And Mindsi, muchos gracias

yeah but to the defense of those who do dubbed, they may not be aware of what they are missing. the first anime i saw was record of lodos war dubbed on sifi channel, then one of the best anime of all time AKIRA... now this was in the early 90's now DBZ was the first anime series i got caught up into. and it was my desire to see all the episodes BEFORE released in the states.. it was then that i noticed the difference and have never gone back..... point is they would never know the vast difference if they haven't seen an english sub and a dub of the same episode.

Yeah, but you do have to realize that there are people out there, that refuse to do all the work and actually look for the original stuff, and swear by cartoon network/scifi/wtf ever places they're watching the anime. Im not saying that you can't start there, im just saying, that if thats where you end up staying, then your not as big of a fan as you think you are.
