The only anime that I watch that no one else does (that other people would actually be interested in watching) is Galaxy Angel. Then again, Aerith's Knight and Creeping Shadow watched it (and enjoyed it) as well since I got them interested in it.

I guess that leaves Bomberman Jetters and F-Zero: GP Legends although I doubt anyone besides me would be interested in those (especially JTrix who abhors the F-Zero anime. I know the animation is quite ugly but the story is quite good. It's also quite neat seeing the stories behind most of the F-Zero racers).

I was a fan of kuroneko long before I knew what trigun was :D

Or better, get the DVDs and watch it in Japanese like it's supposed to be heard. Simon's voice in the dub is so smurfing irritating it almost makes it hard to watch. Yoko's and Ron's voices are perfect though.

lol @ self loathing wapanese rage.

lol @ unsuccessful trolling. There was no self loathing rage in there at all. I'm not you, after all.

It's even funnier when they deny it. :D

Maybe you can point out the self-loathing rage in saying a single voice actor sucks, because I don't see it.

Then you need to lurk moar.

But then again, you are from Canada, the front runner of horrible dubbing, so your failure to understand is expected.

I know what self-loathing looks like and that's not it.

As a long-time fan of Bleach, let me first say that based on Kubo Tite's comments from Zombie Powder, he knows exactly what he's doing - making a fighting manga that you don't have to think too hard about.

I loved DBZ when I was little for the over-the-top explodey fight scenes, and I think Bleach is a great spiritual successor. DK had it right when he said it's something you can just watch casually. Bleach's strength, however, is that it has a huge cast of generally interesting characters (barring Ichigo, amusingly enough, who is generally kind of eh). It also has a pretty wacky sense of humor, and is great for light entertainment.

That said, Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is the pinnacle of shounen fighting spirit and awesome and I highly recommend it. I'll throw in another vote for the subs, since I wasn't too impressed with some of the dub voices, although some are quite good. It's more hit-or-miss though, whereas the Japanese is generally good quality overall.

I'll assume you're talking about US broadcast anime, and not anime you can either buy or watch through digital fansubs. An easy assumption to make, but the mere presence of Gurren Lagann on SciFi defies that statement.

There's some other worthwhile stuff broadcasting now too. Bleach on Adult Swim is flanked by 3 pretty decent anime. Shin Chan which comes before it is pretty darn funny if you can stomach its brand of humour. Code Geass, while not exactly highly intellectual, is a hell of a lot of fun to watch. I was incredibly surprised to suddenly see Seirei no Moribito playing on adult swim one recent late night. I've mentioned the show a few times here, but in this linked thread I give a little more detail (and so does Spatvark!)

Look around. There's a lot of good stuff that isn't too hard to find.

I see. I have seen Seirei no Moribito since it starting airing and it is a very good anime. But It's gonna have to keep growing to hold my interest and I'm sure it will. As for Code Geass, I'm not gonna even bored with the poor excuse for a headache. If I wanted a REAL headache, I'd watch something like Eureka 7 which is little difference.

But Shin Chan is pretty damn funny. I love that show...XD...and I don't watch Sci-fi. But with all that said and done, it's just opinions...:cool:

Transcendence starts with ef - a tale of memories. I said it once, I'll say it again.

I sense epic irony.

Also, for your information: I like who I am. Can you say the same for yourself?
