Really?  I see people complaining about subs all the time....weird.  Whether it be anime or kung fu movies, subs are annoying for me to handle.  I find myself being distracted from seeing the visual aspect, especially in any kind of high action anime, or kung fu.  While I hate subs, I do deal with it when there's no other choice, as something, is better then nothing! :)

I always want subs, even in times where the original work is in english because, listening comprehension and all that, I feel like I'm missing stuff otherwise.

Seriously, I'm horrible at remembering what people say when they talk to me, I need to write things down too. :mrgreen:

I'm a sub fan too, but I will watch dubs occasionally. The problem is my hearing is kind of bad so with dubs I either need to crank the sound up super high or still have subtitles on anyway :P

I don't know if I've seen that. Doesn't ring a bell.

finished watching carnival phantasm the other day; a fun little diversion, but not much more.
that said, i thought this was funny:

also, started watching digimon, because i am a child.

Occasionally I'll have the subtitles on for shows I've seen before, like Dragon Ball Z, just to see how different the dub is from the sub.

I watched 99% of my anime on VHS (pre-DVD), so it would have been the older NA version that was "highly edited" (...there is a good chance I've seen this, I'll have to check it out to see if I remember it).

I first saw it as "Revenge of the Ninja Warrior" on good old FHE video around...I want to say 1988. As far as terrible 80s dub/edit jobs go it wasn't bad at all. The action was still in tact, and that was the best part.

I kinda like Freedom Project, short 7 episodes of what seems to be an anime version of logan's run.
Set in the future where people habitat on the moon and the anime is sponsored by nissin cup noodles so expect to see lots of advertising..


All the art and animation seems to be done with cgi too.

Conan is amazing. That scene near the beginning where he's crying and...is he digging a grave or...I can't remember. Anyway, very emotional.

10 episodes in, great so far.

The art style reminds me of Katsuhiro Otomo's work (Akira.)
