Little Known Anime

[NeoCracker]

What Anime Titles do you enjoy that a lot of people don't seem to know about.

Mine would have to Be Cosmo Warrior Zero and Getbackers.
Cosmo Warrior has a lot of unique characters including Zero and Harlok, its also part of the Harlock saga, Harlock the Legend returns and Galaxy Express 999. After watching Zero i really wanted the others.

Getbackers is an anime that can shift from really silly to really serious really well, with some of my favorite anime characters of all time. Lightning Emporer Ginji Amano, Thread Master Kazuki, Kurodo Akabane AKA Dr. Jakyl, and Emishi Hirio the Fresh Blood Joker.

What are yours?

[The Devourer Of Worlds]

Dokuro-Chan is the only one I can think of.

[Markus. D]

Jubei Chan is a less famous Anime.

[Awesomeman]

I'd have to say Here is Greenwood. Its flat out hillarious!:D Is El Hazard less comon?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

<ul type="square"><li>IRIA: Zeiram the Animation
<li>My Dear Marie
<li>Tenamonya Voyagers
<li>Photon
<li>Armored Trooper Votoms
<li>Urusei Yatsura</ul>

[NeoCracker]

Oddly enough i recently picked up IRIA, havn't watched it yet though. Any good?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It is very good.

[Pauten]

Urusei Yatsura! Lum Chan!:love:
Eureka Seven is an interesting anime too.

[K-chan]

I guess Urusei Yatsura is more well-known than y'all might think. : ) Love that series.

That, and Generator Gawl. :: drools :: Beautiful anime.

Tiny Snowfairy Sugar.
Amazing Nurse Nanako.
Jungle de Ikou.

And Happy Lesson looks H-ish.

[DeathKnight]

Tiny Snowfairy Sugar.
Amazing Nurse Nanako.
Jungle de Ikou.

And Happy Lesson looks H-ish.

nah, not really, it's more of a fun-fun kind of anime, like Tenchi Muyo. They just rate it "M" because they sometimes show some boobies here and there but not that much hehe:riiight:

[Obsidian]

Try...

Violinist of Hameln
Heavy Metal L-Gaim
Metal Armor Dragonar
Megazone 23

Glaxy Railways is pretty good too. ^_^

[Dreddz]

Tokyo Babylon
Thats the cue for everyone to go see it.

[Crushed Hope]

2x2 = Shinobuden. >__> Totally wacky.
Geneshaft doesn't seem to be too well known either, and is totally amazing.

[TheAbominatrix]

Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman
Boogiepop Phantom (not that obscure, but no one seems to have seen it)
D.N.A.^2
Legend of Basara
Beck

There'd me a lot more if we were listing manga.

[Assassin_]

"DNA"

As in DNAngel? Ive never seen the anime, but i love the manga ^_^;;

Also a good anime show that nobody seems to have seen is Gundam X (allthogh im not sure if a Gundam show can reelly count as obscure, just having the label...)

[TheAbominatrix]

No, D.N.A. as in D.N.A. xP

[K-chan]

Tokyo Babylon
Thats the cue for everyone to go see it.

Read the manga and its amazing! <3 Hated the ending though... ugh its so sad.

[black orb]

>>> The Hakkenden.

[Freya]

Saiyuki, I hearts Saiyuki.

[DeathKnight]

Saiyuki, I hearts Saiyuki.

I LOVE Saiyuki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hakkai!, Goku!, Gojyo!, Sanso!:choc2: :choc2: :choc2:

[NeoCracker]

I love tokyo Babalon, X the series which followed it was also amazing. Another one I wanted is All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuka Nuka,

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

X the movie is a nice tragic anime. Loved that. Haven't seen the series though. I should.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I guess Urusei Yatsura is more well-known than y'all might think. : ) Love that series.Urusei Yatsura isn't little-known so much as it is little-watched. Everyone can identify Lum but relatively few people have actually seen the show.

[edczxcvbnm]

X the movie is a nice tragic anime. Loved that. Haven't seen the series though. I should.

That movie SUCKED and kind of goes against the actual Manga big time from what I understand. The series is awesome and does everything a billion times the justice. Good music, good character development, good ending awesome action.

Also I disagree with Eureka 7 being mentioned as of now. It is still airing in Japan as was licenced before it even started to air in Japan. Thus lack of Fansub Groups subbing it...that and I don't think most of them considered Air Surfing Robots to be cool. Being a semi-child of the 80s I think it is awesome :D

Having said all of that I don't watch that much stuff that is not known. I like a few studios Bones and BeeTrain. I follow those studios and watch most of what they put out. I also follow Gundam. There is stuff outside of that but it isn't unknown.

[ughhis]

Kino no Tabi
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
The Cockpit
Top wo Nerae!
Nadia
Fantastic Children
Hi no Tori
Master Keaton
Omohide Poro Poro

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Well, I live in america so we don't get a lot of anime and manga, but I get what I can and I like it all. ANIME IS THE BEST!!! ALL OF THEM!!!

[kikimm]

Beck

YES. :heart: More people need to watch that.

That's pretty much it though.

[Ashi]

I don't really know how to measure "little known" or unpopular anime titles. I'm just going to list stuff I've seen and my friends haven't, or just titles that I referred to my irl friends (kinda rare since most titles I've seen are ones they've made me watch):

Kaleido Star
Boogiepop Phantom
Generator Gawl
Kodomo no Omocha

[agrudis]

VAMPIRE WARS!!!

[K-chan]

Steam Boy. : D Just watched it last night!
Akira
Metropolis (I think its better well-known, but should be watched anyways)
Nightwalker

[Awesomeman]

I don't think Akira falls into the little known anime. Its one of , if not, the most famous anime movie ever. The other ones might, but they were directed by some pretty famous people.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

<ul type="square"><li>Dragonball Z
<li>Sailor Moon
<li>Neon Genesis Evangelion
<li>Pokemon
<li>Princess Mononoke
<li>Spirited Away</ul>

[Shoeberto]

That movie SUCKED and kind of goes against the actual Manga big time from what I understand. The series is awesome and does everything a billion times the justice. Good music, good character development, good ending awesome action.
I concur. I've never seen the series, but the movie was awful.

[Crushed Hope]

<ul type="square"><li>Dragonball Z
<li>Sailor Moon
<li>Neon Genesis Evangelion
<li>Pokemon
<li>Princess Mononoke
<li>Spirited Away</ul>

:p

I'm not too sure how well known the Gate Keepers series are, but they are amazing.

Another one, I have a seen a tiny bit of, was Noir, and I have never heard anything mentioned on that series, but it was very good and interesting.

[Epiphany]

Noir is the only anime series I will watch.

[SoulTaker*]

Whatever anime I see, Ive seen on TV, rented or bought, never imported anything, so you hardcore anime fans will probably see these titles as more mainstream than unknown, if I havent seen it its new to me as they say.

SoulTaker of course hence the name, was a g4 for a time back when it was Tech TV, one of my all-time favorites dont know how well known it is.

Berserk, and 3X3 Eyes are other anime's that I like, probably not as well known as Fullmetal Alchemist and Cowboy Bebop, but still some of you probably have seen this years before I did though...

[Assassin_]

No, D.N.A. as in D.N.A. xP
lol never heard of it.


Well, I live in america so we don't get a lot of anime and manga, but I get what I can and I like it all. ANIME IS THE BEST!!! ALL OF THEM!!!
You think you dont get much anime in America?????? You get LOADS compared to Britain. The only animes that get aired in Britain are Pokemon, Digimon and Dragonball (yes, crap selection I know) (well, we get FMA and Wolfs Rain as well, but only if you have Sky, which I dont >.<)


I don't think Akira falls into the little known anime. Its one of , if not, the most famous anime movie ever.
lmao yeh


Dragonball Z

Sailor Moon

Pokemon
Um... he said "little known" and "good". Those 3 shows are probably the corniest and most well known anime shows in existence.

As for the other 3, there all pretty well known as well, althogh they are very good (Evangelion is one of my all-time favourites)

[Obsidian]

I seem to have the opposite opinion of the whole X the movie/TV series argument.

Starting with the manga... Frankly, I think most of it is a waste of printed paper. Half the pages in a volume usually consist of picture of feathers flying over the Tokyo cityscape. It took about nine volumes for true progression to set in. It is still a very satisfying series. After all... 90% of the drama in Star Wars comes from the drag and anticpation towards some sort of finality.

The TV series, in my opinion, is the absolute worst incarnation of X. It keeps the useless drag of the manga, and then ends very abruptly. Lame. Giving it a 25-ish episode run was a huge mistake. If you are going to have the slow and *cough* self indulgent pace X the manga had, then a year long run (50 episodes) would have been necessary. Some of the cenematics in the final episode were nice.

And then there is the infamous movie. My favorite. It wraps up what X is all about in two-odd hours, and does so brilliantly. "It has poor character development!" "____ DIED USELESSLY!" Ahem... Like I said, it wraps up what X is all about in two odd hours. If you drop the high school English grading scale, give it another veiwing, and try to let it impact you emotionally, then the movie usually works. I hated this movie as much as anyone at first. Then I sampled all of X and came back to it. Great stuff.

[MJN SEIFER]

<ul type="square"><li>Dragonball Z
<li>Sailor Moon
<li>Neon Genesis Evangelion
<li>Pokemon
<li>Princess Mononoke
<li>Spirited Away</ul>

Some of them (That I've highlighted) Are VERY popular where I live. And Nearby so maybe it's where you live that matters. (Although the last one is pretty old)

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I don't know why I even try with you people anymore.

[edczxcvbnm]

I wish the TV series was longer than the 24 episodes.

Also the movie was 90 minutes long and I couldn't watch it because it was bad. Forget about the story. I just couldn't watch it. It was way to akward.

Unlike you though I watch the TV series first THEN went to the movie thinking...how is this so bad that everyone bitches about it? I bought it used from gamestop and returned it the same day.

[Ryushikaze]

Well, I live in america so we don't get a lot of anime and manga, but I get what I can and I like it all. ANIME IS THE BEST!!! ALL OF THEM!!!

We get the second most Japanese animation and comic books outside of Japan and its closest neighbors.

Also I sigh at your fanboy-hood.




* Dragonball Z
* Sailor Moon
* Neon Genesis Evangelion
* Pokemon
* Princess Mononoke
* Spirited Away

Some of them (That I've highlighted) Are VERY popular where I live. And Nearby so maybe it's where you live that matters. (Although the last one is pretty old)

Actually, all of these are exceedingly popular. Spirited Away is also the most recent entry on that list, so it's not actually 'pretty old'

And Ashi- KODOCHA! A kickass show, though the comic was better. How much ya seen?

[Epiphany]

That's the problem with sarcasm. People don't pick up on it.

[DK]

I mean really. That couldn't have been more obvious if it had slapped you people in the face.

[Assassin_]

Actually, all of these are exceedingly popular. Spirited Away is also the most recent entry on that list, so it's not actually 'pretty old'
Eh, it IS pretty old (seeing as the writer has since done another film, which is almost out on DVD), only the others are older

Also, Id actaully say anime itself was relatively unknown (or at least for what it is, rather than for a genre of kids shows, or hentai, both of which are common misconceptions based on the fact that those types of shows get more publicity than shows like Evangelion or, say, Cowboy Bebop)

[TheAbominatrix]

I don't know why I even try with you people anymore.

You're too good for us all, m'love.

[Mimiru]

I like Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Last Exile (though I'm not sure if it counts as little known), Generator Gawl, Crest of the Stars, Banner of the Stars (I and II), and Magic Kaito (though that's technically a manga). Does Detective Conan count as little known? It's not really popular outside of Japan.

It's nice to know I'm not the only Generator Gawl fan

[Rengori]

Boogiepop Phantom (not that obscure, but no one seems to have seen it)
I saw that and thought "What the fuck?"

Anyway, no one seems to have seen Last Exile either, even though it's an outstanding anime. And no one in my school has heard of Beet the Vandel Buster (I really need to go to Borders sometime and buy some manga, I haven't been there since... Holy crap, September).
EDIT: Hey, Mirimu likes Last Exile!

[Venom]

Kikaider?

[Ryushikaze]

That's the problem with sarcasm. People don't pick up on it.

I noticed it. Was more concerned about correcting MJN though.

[Chibi Youkai]

It's nice to know I'm not the only Generator Gawl fan

You're not the only one.

One that's maybe well known, but not well watched is Slayers.

[TheAbominatrix]

I like Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

I do like that anime a lot. Prefer the manga, though.


I saw that and thought "What the smurf?"

That's what I thought when I saw the series. It's so weird. Very very strange, but probably one of the best told stories I've seen in an anime.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

The commentaries make it a bit less obtuse. As would the novels, which have just begun to get translated.

[T-MaN]

Also a good anime show that nobody seems to have seen is Gundam X (allthogh im not sure if a Gundam show can reelly count as obscure, just having the label...)

I've seen it, and I am a huge fan of it! It's an awesome anime, although I think Gundam X is well known. Well, it's known in my area at least, I don't know about yours.

[Assassin_]

Last Exile (though I'm not sure if it counts as little known)
Thats pretty well known I think


I've seen it, and I am a huge fan of it! It's an awesome anime, although I think Gundam X is well known. Well, it's known in my area at least, I don't know about yours.
Gundam as a whole is pretty well known (and well watched, for an anime franchise) in my area, but nobody seems to have seen Gundam X, which Id say was one of the best series (about on a par with Wing, which is saying something lol)

[The Devourer Of Worlds]

about on a par with Wing, which is saying something lol
Many people consider Gundam Wing to be a low point in the series. I've only seen Wing and one episode of Seed so I can't really comment...

[Rengori]

Thats pretty well known I think
Not here it ain't.

[Assassin_]

Many people consider Gundam Wing to be a low point in the series.
Reelly? Ive never heard that, an I thought it was awesome ^_^;;


Not here it ain't.
Ok, althogh I meant for an anime, and most anime shows are hardly household names.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Witch Hunter Robin, I love it. Though people who watch YTV will know of it, but I never heard much of it from other people. Also Yami no Matsuei is a good not so known anime, but left me very unsatisfied at the end. I do not know how well known Loveless is, but I love it.

[Assassin_]

its obviously not so loveless then ^^

[Obsidian]

Many people consider Gundam Wing to be a low point in the series. I've only seen Wing and one episode of Seed so I can't really comment...

It is so convenient that this is a Final Fantasy board, because the issues with Gundam fandom are identical.

You have purists of the original Gundam series, then you have the fans that were hooked by Wing or SEED. Just as how some people love FF I-VI and call VII-on "popular" garbage and constantly rant about how the new fans are just in it for the hair and the swords. Most fans of early Gundam have the exact same opinions of next generation Gundam and its fans.

But, just as with FF, I enjoy it all. Depending on my mood.

[Rengori]

I disliked Gundam SEED, it progressed far too slowly.

[StarlightAngel]

I've heard of Boogiepop, just never seen/read it...

Death Note? wait, that's a manga, not an anime...
Gakuen Alice isn't very well known from what I can tell... though it's kinda kiddy XD;

[Rengori]

Death Note? wait, that's a manga, not an anime...
No one would really care had it not appeared in Shonen Jump a few months ago.

[Dixie]

Only me and some of my friends know these shows: Kare Kano and SuperGals!. I love them...SO COOL! Pokemon rules!!! ^________^

(Yeah, SuperGals! sounds corny xD)

[Assassin_]

"But, just as with FF, I enjoy it all. Depending on my mood."

Thats a pretty good philosophy.

My attitude to musics pretty similar (although I usually favour rock)

[Chibi Youkai]

You can get them both here. :p

Kare Kano's not bad, but I didn't like it too much. Not really into that sort of thing.

[Assassin_]

Kare Kano isnt THAT unknown, but I have to say, its not exactly famous either.

Pokemon? Seriously? 0.o

Ill admit, the concept of Pokemon DID have potential, but that just makes the fact that they made it so corny even worse.

[Rengori]

"But, just as with FF, I enjoy it all. Depending on my mood."

Thats a pretty good philosophy.
That's my philosophy too. Some days FFIV is the best thing to happen since crack, and other days it's the worst thing I have on my PSX/GBA. But most of the time it's not.

[StarlightAngel]

No one would really care had it not appeared in Shonen Jump a few months ago.

Actually, it was pretty well known online for a while and I was quite curious of what it was for a loooong time before they previewed it in Shonen Jump.

Thank the <s>death</s> gods they did :love:

[Necronopticous]

Yakitate!!! Japan

If you don't think baking bread is exciting, you've most likely never seen Yakitate!!! Japan.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Genshiken is pretty funny, I enjoy it quite a bit.

[K-chan]

Only me and some of my friends know these shows: Kare Kano and SuperGals!.

I used to LOVE Kare Kano 'cause the main character (forgot the girls name) was so wierd and spaztic. Stopped watching it when it got really fluffy and romace-like part-way through the series though. XD

[NeoCracker]

Finally actually watched Iria. I must say it was quite cool. Except Zerums weakness, it pissed me off that it was the first thing I quessed it would be, and Iria nearly dies figuring it out. I still say watch it though, Bob was awsome.

[Shiny]

Witch Hunter Robin, I love it. Though people who watch YTV will know of it, but I never heard much of it from other people.
I saw Witch Hunter Robin on Adult Swim a couple of times, but they've stopped showing it.

[Tasura]

How did I miss an anime thread? T_T

As for my anime thats obscure.

Akagi
Blue Submaine No. 6
Elfen Lied
Green Green
Gunslinger Girls
Mezzo DSA
Mouse
Serial Experiments Lain
Yumeria

The rest i could list, are either new or well known, so yea, theres my obscure anime list.

[Epiphany]

Ohh, I forgot about Lain. Not as unknown, but great anway.

[Assassin_]

Macross Zero is an incredibly good, relatively unknown anime.

[~SapphireStar~]

Tokyo Mew Mew perhaps?
Time Traveller Al
Geobreeders


Elfen Lied, Serial Experiments Lain
Those 2 are well known, well my me anyway.


Witch Hunter Robin, I love it. Though people who watch YTV will know of it, but I never heard much of it from other people.
I have the perfect collection on DVD. My boyfriend bought it as an aniversary present.

Steam Boy. : D Just watched it last night!
Akira
Metropolis (I think its better well-known, but should be watched anyways)
No way I have heard of Steam Boy and Metropolis and Akira is sat on my DVD shelf. Of course people have heard of it, its a well known manga movie.

Another one, I have a seen a tiny bit of, was Noir, and I have never heard anything mentioned on that series, but it was very good and interesting.
Ive got the first 2 DVDs ...

Berserk, and 3X3 Eyes
Got them too ...

[cloud_doll]

is Noir well known? if not, then thats mine

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Suki Na Mono Wa Suki Dakara Shou Ga Nai!!, also refered as Sukisyo or Sukisho. I would like to also point out the incomplete OAV of Princess Rouge which is good and same goes for Sailor Victory. BOth I watched as dubbed OAVs, though they have not gone any further with Princess Rouge (Two OAVs), yet I am uncertain about Sailor Victory (unrelated to Sailor Moon, besides it has mecha's is it).

[ff8foreverzell]

I like Fruit Basket.

[~SapphireStar~]

But Fruit Basket is well known ... the mangas been sold in Waterstones, so its not unheard of.

[MJN SEIFER]

Tokyo Mew Mew perhaps?


Again a very well known Anime.

In america is called "Mew Power" or something stupid.

Thank god england doesn't do that.

[Dragon Ash]

I randomly decided to buy Noir from play.com a while back and it's pretty good. Too many flashback scenes in the first few episodes though.

[black orb]

>>> I liked the the Dragon Quest anime too..

[Venom]

Cursed sword is awesome....too bad nobody has ever heard of it.:(

[Saiya Leonhart]

Hmm..Last Exile, Descendents of Darkness, and Vampire Princess Miyu are really the only "obscure" Animes that i've watched. I prefer to read Mangas...

[Assassin_]

But Fruit Basket is well known ... the mangas been sold in Waterstones, so its not unheard of.
lol yeh if the mangas been sold in Waterstones then I have to say, that generally means its pretty famous actaully :P (relatively at least)

Allthough I have to admit, I have seen (first volumes of, at least) both Lament of the Lamb and SDK, 2 very good, quite unknown manga series in Waterstones, so I guess there the exceptions

[Assassin_]

Last Exile and Miyu arent particularly unknown. Never heard of that other one thogh, so I cant judge on it.

[~SapphireStar~]

I first seen Miyu on the Sci Fi channel on Sky, I also have the complete collection. It is known cause the DVDs are in HMV, etc.

[Assassin_]

yeh

[Chibi Youkai]

Again a very well known Anime.

In america is called "Mew Power" or something stupid.

Thank god england doesn't do that.

No, it's Tokyo Mew Mew in america. I have all 9 books.

[MJN SEIFER]

I mean the Anime

[Chibi Youkai]

I didn't dare watch it.

[Mimiru]

I came up with a new obscure anime : Ginban Kaleidoscope. odd, but good. A figure skater gets possessed with the ghost of a Canadian aviator. Very, very funny.

[Assassin_]

Bleach dosent seem to be as well known as I thought it was. And trust me, you all HAVE to watch that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^_^;;

[~SapphireStar~]

Ive got the boxset to Bleach also. It is well known, mangas popular in bookstores like Borders and Waterstones. Very popular.

[crono_logical]

Akazukin Chacha's a good fairly old anime that seems pretty obscure :p You'll probably get sick of it fast though if you hate wordplay, since a heck of a lot of it's humour is based around it :p

[MJN SEIFER]

I didn't dare watch it.

The Japanese/English versions are better than the naffed up americans version

[Stroo]

These are prob well known, but they are my faves:
Flcl
Evangelion
Excel Saga
Martian Succesor Nadesico
Blue Sub 6

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Another not-well-known but good one as far as character development (It is totally a character story) is Aishi<i></i>teru ze Baby. It's criminally adorable too.

[Assassin_]

Ive got the boxset to Bleach also. It is well known, mangas popular in bookstores like Borders and Waterstones. Very popular.
Oops... =.=

Box set as in DVD box set? Its not licensed yet 0.o

Hopefully wont be till ive got the rest of the series :P

[Doomie]

is Ai<img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">eru ze Baby.

What he said. xD

[Assassin_]

These are prob well known, but they are my faves:
Flcl
Evangelion
Excel Saga
Martian Succesor Nadesico
Blue Sub 6
nadesicos good huh? ive seen a couple of volumes goin cheep in Entertainment Exchange I think... Maybe Ill have a look sometime

And yes, apart from Nadesico and that last one, those are pretty famous (at least in anime communities)

[~SapphireStar~]

Box set as in DVD box set? Its not licensed yet 0.o
Ebay. Thats where I get them all from. I got FLCL last week for £10 from Ebay, better then the manga, easier to understand.

[Assassin_]

ah

so... in japanese then, with subs?

[~SapphireStar~]

Yeah, I cant stand english dubbed.

Hell yes. And Sister Princess. :love:

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Theres one that I've only seen bits and pieces of but haven't seen it very many places other than online.

Kagumore Orange Road (I Believe it is anyways ><)

Otherwise I don't think many people know about

Black Angel

[blackline77]

id say one people dont really know about is "fist of the north star" which is freakin awesome.

[~SapphireStar~]

id say one people dont really know about is "fist of the north star" which is freakin awesome.
I have to step in once again :D I watched it years ago every weekend on the Sci Fi Channel here in the UK and the massive boxset has been released, but its sadly £55, so Im going to have to wait for my load.
Ive also heard of Kagumore Orange Road, the DVDs are avalablie to buy in HMV and I swear Ive seen the manga in Forbidden Planet.

[blackline77]

well i live in the u.s. and they dont play them here on the scifi channel, yeah but i luv that show.

[Rengori]

It's called a schedule change. :p

[blackline77]

no b/c ive lived here all my life and have never seen it on the sci fi channel.

[Rengori]

How does living in one place all your life determine what you see on the Sci-Fi channel?

[blackline77]

i didnt say it determined what u see, i said as long as ive been watchin the sci fi channel i have never seen them give that show,so where do u live in the u.s.?

[~SapphireStar~]

As I said I live in the UK. Anime is barely shown on the Sci Fi Channel anymore and thats when I use to watch it years ago. I dont know if the US Sci Fi Channel did or didnt show it, how am I meant to know.
Plus I got videos from markets and carboots.

[blackline77]

i understand that but this guy is tryin to make an issue out of it.

[MJN SEIFER]

Yeah, I cant stand english dubbed.

Americans dub.

English people TRANSLATE!

[Assassin_]

Yeah, I cant stand english dubbed.
Not seen it.

Actaully, I woodnt have thought thered bother dubbing it in english till it was licensed in an english speaking country.


id say one people dont really know about is "fist of the north star" which is freakin awesome.
lol no offence but ive heard from a reliable source thats crap :P


Ive also heard of Kagumore Orange Road, the DVDs are avalablie to buy in HMV and I swear Ive seen the manga in Forbidden Planet.
Probably, Forbidden Planet tends to have at least one volume of pretty much every english language manga, at some point or another. Its really good for manga, comparatively at least (still not a scratch on most Japanese bookshops, but still...)

Actually, the majority of dubbing studios are in Canada.

Sorry. I know how anti- you were trying to be. =( Maybe next time. /sarcasm

Anyway, back on topic. Has anyone seen The Violinist of Hameln? That might be crossing the line from "Little Known" to "Totally Obscure", but it's a pretty neat series. Especially if you are fond of classical music.

Dub is when things get changed Translate is when the scripts are EXACTLY the same as Japanese (Minus language)
