movies/tv Can you believe this is an anime opening?

[Discordian 6,015]

And I call this an overexaggeration. If there's anything I can't stand it's the overexaggeration of how terrible something is, to the point that it supposedly physically hurts the person experiencing it.

[Starlighty 986]

You won't ever get it..

[Discordian 6,015]

Obviously. None of the things I haven't liked have ever physically hurt me, so I don't understand how it can possibly do it for other people. You know, like vegetables.

 

You know, unless someone hits me with a sack of frozen broccoli.

[Cookie 28]

That song was pretty great. ^-^

 

As for the dub thing, I kind of agree with Discordian. I mean, to an extent. I prefer dubs. Not necessarily because of the VA or anything, but mostly because then I can focus on what is going on and the art. It's too distracting to have to read all the time. I miss stuff.

[Discordian 6,015]

Yeah, that tends to be a problem for me too. I'd rather pay attention to everything else on the screen rather than have to read one sentence real fast and then HOPE I catch what happened on the screen too out of the corner of my eye.

[Starlighty 986]

>.< I find dub to get kinda boring at time cause i can't focus cause of the voices >.>

 

I think like Howl moving castle, Sprited away movies like that are really good in English cause there so much amazing art and stuff like that. Anime like that too but its hard to focus when they voices sound so bad.

[Crazy Misty 654]

If there's one thing 4Kids ruins it ain't the voice acting imo. The VA isn't all that fantastic but it's nowhere near as horrible as people make it out to be, on top of that they do worse things like cutting out a ton of content they shouldn't and not releasing their DVDs in more than three episode packs. <.<

 

Um I think you misread my post.

 

I said the VA wasn't bad, hell I think it's good what I was saying was that they changed the plot the music everything.

[Discordian 6,015]

Oh, so I did. My apologies.

 

Also, I have no issue really with someone preferring the Japanese over the English, it's when they totally shun one or the other because they claim it's more horrible than it is or it physically hurts them that I don't understand their thinking.

 

To me, listening to a voice actor is like listening to someone talk. You wouldn't go up to a person and say "You have a horrible talking voice" would you?

Yeah I understand what you mean, if a dubs done right it can be good, honestly I have the Yu-Gi-Oh Uncut dvd's and I love the dubs on them.

[Finesthour 7,289]

Heh, seems like this thread is causing lot's of arguments

 

I admit, I can deal with some dubs (School rumble)

 

And I also don't agree with dubs literaly hurting you.

 

They are just annoying.

[Discordian 6,015]

Me? I'll always watch English even if it's not as good because it's my preferred language but there's been times when I've had to watch a Sub cuz there is no dub. Like Pandora Hearts. I almost had to watch Darker Than Black's second season subbed but it's getting an English Dub so I wanna watch it. Not so with the four bridging episodes though so I still had to watch those subbed.

lol Sorry, my intention was not to cause an argument. It's not like I totally don't understand your position just I don't think dubs are nearly as bad as some make it out to be.

 

You say you hate English voice acting so it makes me wonder if you would think MLP would be better if it was subbed in any other language.

[Finesthour 7,289]

Well mlp was not made in Japan.

 

I enjoy the Japanese culture for the shows they created.

 

I don't want America's version of the show.

 

I want THE show.

[Discordian 6,015]

Aside from 4Kids I don't believe any other anime companies change the show other than the voices.

[Linguz 140]

Finest, you say you don't like openings in English? How about the FLCL opening?

 

(I found a low quality video. Don't feel like searching for a higher quality one.)

Grats'.

[Discordian 6,015]

How about Black Lagoon?

Well I'd personally rather watch something in it's original languege.

 

So if something was made in Japan, I'd watch the japanese version.

If something is in english, I'd watch the english version.

 

Just what I choose to do.

Tis' exactly what I do.

 

I love to watch something a culture originalay made for that one culture.

That Black Lagoon intro was cool but the editing is pretty crappy to me.

"Tenchi The Movie - Tenchi In Love - Alchemy Of Love"

This is the closing credits song originally used when the moive played in Japan. A Japanese version was added for video release. I love this version. If you watch the movie, you'll see why it fits so beautifully

 

Ghost in the Shell SAC 2nd GIG

I'm adding this one because it's a mix of Russian and English. It's also amazingly cool! The Major is one of the all time best characters in anime! It seems that YouTube banned all posts of the actual opening animation. Here's the full song with a still shot!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully I have this fixed now. Thanks Discordian, I never noticed the edit button!

You are only allowed to post a maximum of two embedded video links per post. And the edit button is next to "Report" under your sig.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,316]

Oh, that was great! Using edit made the actual links vanish completely! All I did was cut the first two entries to post as a separate post so they would embed! Why did doing that make the youtube links from the part I didn't touch go away? I have to go back and track them down again!

FIXED! Thanks again Discordian!

 

"Speed Grapher"

They couldn't get the rights to use the song in the American DVD/Blu-ray release. This is the original opening for Japanese TV!

"Serial Experiments Lain"

This haunting song goes so well with the series.

When this show gets dubbed, it should have japanese dub opening... just for the irony
