How do you watch your anime?

[SydneyRichardson 0]

I personally like it with the Japanese and subs... just noticed a lot of anime fans around stsf, and became curious... ;)

Now generally I am NOT an anime fan (not cos i haven't seen plenty! I'm just not) however there are three pieces I love because they've hit me there.

 

Laputa

Ghost In The Shell

Hellsing

 

 

Edit: Oh and usually I'm a subtitles man (unless the dubbing was done decently and they spent more than 5 minutes on it!)

Subtitled. Less that the voice overs are "yucky", though some of the voice actors I've heard are nails-on-chalkboard, and more that the translation is so often dumbed-down. That's been getting better as more and more companies realize that animated =/= cartoon =/= kid's show. In another few years, maybe I'll be able to switch to dub -- I find reading subtitles breaks the fantasy.

Ummm I watch both. I also watch rerecorded in english ;)

[Seiben 0]

I watch both as well. Though I do preffer sub-titles versions. Most of the case, the Jpaanese actors are great. I have both in my anime collection, though.

I dont really watch much anime, since I dont have cable, and the only anime that is on is the Saturday Morning Yu-gi-oh/Sonic X stuff.

 

I do have Robotech on DVD though, clasic stuff. I remember watching that way back when I was a kid, and when I saw the box set I was like "Score!" lol

 

But yeah, I spend to much online, out doors or doing *Censored* to *Censored* with a *Censored* and then I *Censored* with a *Censored* and...::cuts to the end::...In San Andreas.

I never used to watch the stuff, but I've watched some over the past years on Tech TV. It's all English, and some of the voice actors have been in a few of the video games I've played.

 

I don't mind subtitles though, I prefer having them when I watch a foreign film. It's just when I watch anime every now and then, that option isn't available.

[STSF Precip 0]

I confess, despite the likely bad voice-overs I prefer watching Anime with them. I tend to like Mecha featured stuff, Robotech, Macross 2; Appleseed (the older version which I thought was hilariously dubbed well). I dont mind the songs left in Japanese, but reading titles draws my attention from the screen.

Ummmm...I don't watch anime....I never really liked it...Don't hurt me! ::hides::

Actually, there is two series I digress to watching: Trigun and Cowboy Bebop. I like Bebop the best, I just loved the feel of it, so freaking awsome.

Yeah, that and the fact that it takes Goku one whole week to form up his Kamehameha (or other) attacks, only to prove that it kept having no effect on the bad guys kinda soured the DBZ experience for me. ;)

There are only two Anime shows i enjoy...

Paranoia Agent

 

Samurai Champloo

[Seiben 0]

What is anime? Is that like the Power Puff Girls?

Power Puff Girls?! No.. definately not! Anime are simply cartoons made in Japan, and since the Power Puff Girls is made in the States, it isn't considered anime.

 

Edit: yeah, maybe not the States, probably some cartoon studo in Korea or something.. anyways, it's still not anime ;)
