I never liked the Japanese VA for Kuno or Ryoga in Ranma 1/2. Mostly for me it's whatever format I heard it first. Those are the "true" voices for me.

Ahh the classic subbed versus dubbed debate.
I stand on the subbed side no doubt.
Which brings up the question, is there a subbed version of Desert Punk? Cause I think I might be able to stand it if so. My friend says it's only in English though. If I cared enough I search myself, but I feel like being lazy and posing the question to the masses. =P

Speaking of Yu Yu Hakusho I am watching the first saga =D I really should be watching it subbed, but since I'm usually multitasking when I watch, I watch it dubbed. Shame me if you must =P

I thought the 2nd Silent Hill was better. But i love too many video games to make a list out of, but Shadow of the Colossus and Katamari would be in the top 10

You do know that ICO is the first part of Shadow of the Colossus, right? If not, then now you know, lol.

And all of the Zelda series is good, not just a couple. I've played and beaten them all.

I forgot to add to my video game list:

-WoW (world of warcraft to all you noobs)
-Combat Arms
-Gears of War

1 I dont think ATHF fits into the anime catagory but it still is crazy awesome
2 the original resident evil is deff like the second best game on playstation and one of the best of its kind.
3 every one of your anime choices appear on adult swim
Silent hill 2 was deff better but if you are naming ps games you have to name FFVII

I dont know if athf fits, but I just put it up there, take it or leave it, lol. And yes, I like adult swim, but I watched them before adult swim got ahold of them, all cept for athf, and Inuyasha. And I like all Silent hill, but if I had to chose one to hate, it would prolly be the the third one. Kinda lame. and I dont really like Final Fantasy, well, thats not fair, I never got into it, and they are such long games that I figure it's too late to get into them, besides, I do that that taking turns hitting each other is lame, even for game standards. lol.

I have to say “Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” it was actually based on a true story. A family catch out of town people and eat them. The man with the miss up face… would cut off other handsome guys faces and put them on like a Halloween mask, that crap is very scary and creepy. Sounds
Man... it's good to hear a woman love to watch anime. Most women think I'm acting like a kid, but Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach, Baki, Trigun, Dragon Ball, Gundam Wing, and many more are so off the chain. “I LOVE ANIME!!!”

they really need to do a Ninja Scroll movie.....actually, no.....they'd just **** it up......haha......how about a videogame tho?....that would be cool!....it would be easy to do as well since the plot is very videogame-ish,with all the travel to location....beat up a boss figure and his minions....travel to next location....and so on

Backing up to the issue of subbed or English versions, I've found that the subtitles retain more of the Japanese culture and the English versions are SO Americanized that it actually annoys me.

I had a roommate that thought that the English versions made far more sense, which to him meant more 'accurate'. Drove me crazy because I would prefer to watch the subtitles so I could get the cultural aspects of what was being said.

If memory serves there was 2 ninja scroll movies. the series came after the movies. the first was excellent the second was random and incomplete.... search ninja scroll and ninja resurrection.

me too. plus american actors FEEL like theyre reading a script, whereas japanese sounds better and works better. theres more conviction and rage and happiness. ntm if it gets dubbed it gets censored 2x as much,lol.

- Naruto/shippuden - [Excluding the millions of fillers its a great watch]

Samurai champloo - [man! wish it was on longer!]

Cowboy bebop - [...mushroom samba..all I gotta say haha]

Vampire Hunter D - [bloodlust, the old version was tight as well but the animation wasn't all that great, I liked bloodlust a lot better]

- Samurai X/Kenshin

- Robotech

- Macross

- DBZ

- Fatal Fury

- Street fighter moviez
and many more

- Other shows, Justice league unlimited, Gargoylez, G I Joez, He-man, X-men, Cops, Mad Balls, a buncha old onez
