So Dakka, I pose to you an ultimate question:

Should I watch FMA Brotherhood, or Cowboy Beebop?.

Both.

But IMO, FMA Brotherhood is better. I do agree CB is good, but I never enjoyed it that much.

Make sure to get the Cowboy Bebop movie too.

Its a fun break, or nice to watch after the series just to have something extra.

Bebop has Steve Blum. That's all I know about it, but knowing that means I'm going to watch it eventually.

Blum=Awesome. That's all I have to say

Wait, Matt Bluhm, amirite?

Sorry, if you don't get that you need to listen to The Mike O'Meara Show.

That having been said, I'm not up on anime as much as I should be. Anybody with a Crunchyroll account, what can/should I be watching? I'm kinda limited by that as I can't really risk getting in trouble torrenting other series'.

You watch... dubs...?

HERETIC

NON-BELIEVER!

To be fair, any dub with Blum or Hamill is probably gonna be worth it.

I don't like subtitles. In anything. So yeah. 480+ episodes of Naruto. All dubbed

I'm torn on the subject. I watch all TV with subs if I can, i like to know how things are spelled and sometimes theyre great for quiet scenes, but I like to watch shows and paint which is hard to do with anime in Japanese where there's no choice but to read. In either case, it sucks to switch mid show.

Certain shows I just can't take the characters seriously with their original voice actors (I watch some European shows as well)- but others I prefer the original.

Honestly, it's a tossup based on what I was first introduced to the anime with and the quality of the voice acting.

I can only stand dubs if they are what I saw first. Even then I have a hard time with them. Too bad for the most part

Also Gosick is shaping up into a decent Murder Mystery series. If anyone else is wanting to see it on Crunchy, better get to it! It's going into the "Vaults" on the 30th along with some other shows.

I partially agree with your first statement. I can't watch the dubbed version of an anime if I have already seen the sub. I already associate the characters with the Japanese voices.
I feel like this topic gets brought up every few weeks lol I've already stated my general opinion on the matter several times, although it has changed a bit since I first started watching anime. I used to only be able to watch dubs, but now I really appreciate the sub for a lot of anime. There are some anime better dubbed, and some better subbed. Currently most anime never get translated over to dubbed, so there's way more anime that are better subbed than dubbed, simply by sheer number.

I prefer dubs because then I don't have to watch the screen/text quite so closely and can better watch the actual show or glance down at my food or something, but I usually watch subs simply because those are what come out first.

Death before dubs.

That is all.

Well what about Wubs? What about those, huh?

Ahhhh!!! I hate when shows keep their OP for a second season but then change to a worse (IMO) ED! Gosick's ending changed, while alright its no where near as good. Luckly the shows still going well so there is that at least!

There are some shows I prefer dubbed some subbed entirely depends on how good the localisation is. I watched cb with both but prefer the dubbed version.

Watched an interesting anime on Netflix the other day, it was about a future where everyone has something called a psychopass and can be arrested or forced into rehabilitation if their potential for crime gets to high according to the computer. Only watched the first two episodes but it seemed interesting.

Yeah, Psycho Pass is a popular one here. I hear it's getting a sequel too.

Dub vs Sub entirely depends on the anime in particular, but above all I NEVER swap in the middle of watching.

I prefer dubbed on FMA because I loathed the voice actor for Alfonse in original japanese.

I loved Gosick. I actually recently purchased it. It's been a very long time since I watched it though so i look forward to watching it again. Somewhere after I've finished penguin drum, pet girl, shiki, Tokyo magnitude and half the current season.

i actually watched some of both when I did my run through of FMA brotherhood. Watching originally in english, Als voice really through me off. I just got attached to Vic's voice too I guess. It remains one of the few shows I've seen in English and prefer that way.

Great to hear its out there somewhere. If it keeps going the way it is I'll likely pick it up at some point!

I don't mind the actor himself, its just that it was a poor match for the character. He's ok in other series.

The actor for Ed also didn't fit. He sounded like a prepubescent boy.

...What is Ed? certainly a little man, thats for sure. I think it was fine and it fit him well

Damn those last few episodes of Gosick. Glad I stuck with the show though it turned out to be great. Its definitely getting a buy from me!

It's being a bit too hard to continue with Gosick... I'm a bit over the half and it has been so boring lately with the random cases. The dude deserves his nick-name, everywhere he goes bodies start piling up.



And yes, I felt like table-flipping when the ED changed. The first one is really that damn good.

Maybe I'm just easy to please when it comes to shows....

That plot you mentioned starts to pick up halfway-ish through season two, So if your already having a hard time it could still be a bit of a rocky road to the finish. That said,a few things really start to develop in the second seasons ending.

I like it a lot but as with all things, to each their own.

I'm glad you stuck it out too. I hate it when people miss out on things that I like, because I'm a selfish little goblin.
