Jaysin Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I've been watching One Piece in the original Japanese with subtitles. I've seen all the way to mid-Crocodile Arc before in English. But I want to watch it all in Japanese to see it uncensored. There's a lot of differences between the two. The English that's available on Funimation is uncensored.

Wrestling Century Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Anybody see the new DBZ broly movie yet? I went with some friends and we all loved it, but we grew up with Dragon ball. Another moviegoer who was dragged there by his friends was baffled, and made that audibly clear at the end. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Otioje Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Minor annoyance: Why do so many anime have scenes AFTER the credits? It's so annoying. 100% agree with you, it really annoys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Finished Gurren Lagann last night. Really enjoyable. Thinking about starting FLCL next since it’s so short. I’ve always heard good things and if I enjoy it there are two new seasons that came out last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchador Canadiense Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I love all anime, but particularly anything with mecha. Robotech, Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny, GunBuster, GunSword, and Gundam 00. I also want to rewatch Neon Genesis Evangelion, which I love but have't watched in nearly 20 years. On the non-mecha front, I'll watch ANYTHING by Miyazaki. Got to see Totoro on the big screen in September, which was a real treat. My wife and I recently re-watched Great Teacher Onizuka, which feels very inappropriate in 2019. And she''s got me watching Maid Sama these days.

I used to watch G all the time as a kid, but I could never get into the original series or Wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerodragomir1 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I like food wars except for all of the fan service. I just want a fun show about cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I don’t understand Japan’s obsession with fan service. Especially when it comes to pre teens and teenagers. I’m able to ignore it half the time, but some anime have so much it’s hard to look past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m able to ignore it half the time, but some anime have so much it’s hard to look past. Dude.... Now that you mention it. Most of the characters are like 15 years old. It even shows their ages when they make their first appearance for the show. Straight up says 15 then two minutes later they are 99% naked & I'm just expected to sit there & say "this is fine." Spoiler, IT'S NOT FINE! WHY ARE YOU ENDORSING THAT?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler, IT'S NOT FINE! WHY ARE YOU ENDORSING THAT?!?! The worst part is it's not even a "niche" thing, which would be bad enough, but even widely loved and well known shows like My Hero Academia are straight up sexualizing children and it gets largely ignored because people like the show.

Jaysin Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I started Full Metal Panic the other day and one character hands a picture to another character of a 12 year old and the guy goes “oh she’s gonna be hot in a few years!” Like wtf Japan? It’s a good thing some anime have such good stories, but man, it’s hard to look past the over sexualized women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerodragomir1 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 That's the main reason I stopped watching Fairy Tale a long time ago. I liked the fighting but all of the fan service just turned me off of the show. Japan is a weird place. I love it, but sometimes it's really really out there place. My Hero is a really fun show. Thankfully it's not super other the top with the fan service. I'm sure it's there. I just don't notice it as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't even know what that show is about. Is it kinda comedy-esc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullMETAL Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 FMP (as opposed to Fullmetal Alchemist) happens to be the source of my username "FullMETAL", so I'm probably a bit biased in favor of it. As for the sexualization of children in Japanese media (especially drawn/animated media), my ongoing theory/blame placement for things like this is centuries of isolationism-induced inbreeding coupled (more relatively recently) with the WW2 nuclear fallout radiation poisoning (being passed down by those who've gotten exposed to a small enough amount to still have survived it and procreated, that is) that's been negatively affecting the brains of Japanese people (but primarily Japanese men).

nerodragomir1 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I don't want to get too deep into this. But, the dark pit known as the internet has people trying to actually advocate for the growing "bowel" movement of people wanting to make pedo & hebephilia a legal thing. It's disgusting & it's not only Japan. They just seem to be able to get away with it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 <p>Probably best we change the subject. I’ve been making a list of anime I want to watch.</p><p> </p><p> Anything anyone think I should watch? Preferably shorter anime(26 or fewer episodes)</p><p> </p><p> I plan on tackling Fairy Tail at some point but would like to get some shorter out of the way first</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swanton825 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 <p>It's over 26 episodes thanks to season 3 (plus season 3 is a little crap anyways), but I have to recommend Overlord. You'd think the main character being ridiculously overpowered would get boring, but it's so cathartic watching him just wreck house.</p><p> </p><p> There's also Konosuba, which feels like a fantasy anime version of Always Sunny. All the characters are jerks in some way and watching their schemes come apart is hilarious.</p><p> </p><p> If you like romantic comedies both My Love Story!! and Senryu Girl are pure wholesome joy. Especially My Love Story. My only gripe is that neither of them could resist the urge to make a swimsuit episode.</p><p> </p><p> And if you haven't seen them already, I highly recommend Samurai Champloo, Excel Saga and Azumanga Daioh. Champloo is the underrated follow-up to Cowboy Bebop with an equally awesome soundtrack. It's hard to believe how well hip hop and feudal Japan work together until you see it. And Excel Saga and Azumanga are two of my all-time favorite comedies.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Samurai Champloo is one of my all time favorites! I’ll add the other mentioned anime to my list to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerodragomir1 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I absolutely love "slice of life" styled anime's those are my favorite. But my favorite anime of all time is S-Cry-Ed. That show was like 26 episodes. It had a great arc IMO. Seeing how the main character changed from start to finish was always really cool. Plus it has my favorite voice actor Steve Blum in the main role as Kazuma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
