Anime Discussion

I've heard Death Note's has pretty good actors, but I've only watched the last episode in dub.

Just to give some contrast, I think one of the worst dubs out there is Clannad's.

Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely check that out!

Yeah, Death Note's one I'm going to have to watch at some point. Though I worry that the voices won't match up well to what I imagined with the manga.

Watched the first 2 episodes of The Devil is A Part Timer, was pretty funny, probably gonna keep watching.

Yo, has anyone seen Kill La Kill? Watched the first episode. It's.. I don't know. I like it.

Thoughts?

Nop, never heard of that one.

I did the same with a friend a few months back. I just haven't gotten around to continuing it.

That show is so over-the-top. I personally love it. I'm approaching the end right now; I can tell the plot's wrapping up, lots of secrets are being revealed, the final battle is going down, but there's a good four or so more episodes to go. I don't know how much more is in store but I guess I'll see.

I'd definitely recommend it, but also advise discretion. The show's definitely for older audiences, but it is so much fun. The best way to describe it is there's so much fanservice, I no longer see it as fanservice. In other (specifically Latin) words, fanservice ad absurdum. In fact, pretty much everything else ad absurdum as well, while they're at it.

I know Em has seen it and loves it. Kill la kill is on my "to watch list" but I haven't gotten around to it.

Ohh, I watched Kill la Kill last year, its a ton of fun. As Gyr said, it's very over the top, and somehow continues to build up hype right to the very end. I loved the ost and action, plus the characters are pretty awesome despite following their archetypes to the letter.

I'd defs recommend it, but if you don't like seeing a lot of skin (although nothing explicit is shown) then it might deter you a bit.

I really need to watch more. I've gotten a decent way through The Devil Is A Part Timer, probably gonna finish that up and then try to move onto something else.

@Gyr: Ah. And yeah, I gotcha. =P

@Flush: Hm, I'll ask 'em about it

@MD: Yeah. Noted. =P

So, i did end up watching Bleach, and honestly, the best part of Bleach would be the Espada and Soul Reapers.
Other then two of the main characters, Orihime and Uryu, I could do without the other two main ones. Over all, Bleach, if you think about it, is actaully somewhat profound. Though, the fights can be quite perdictable, but on the up side, you see ALOT of character growth/development.

I've seen a few episodes of Bleach and it never really grabbed me. Out of curiousity, does it have any issues with filler like Naruto and Dragonball do?

Gyr: Yeah the first episodes are meh, I felt the same way when i first started, but when ya get to a certain arc and start learning about Soul Reapers it kinda grabs you, then the whole Espada arc is just yesh but it takes forever to get there.

As for fillers, other then maybe one or two episodes or so, there are two major filler arcs, I didn't even watch one of them cause I was just like no...

The Bleach movies though are all really good.

Some of the stuff in Bleach can get pretty deep if you think about it. If you can stick through most of the episodes and the unbearable classic hero gets beat, does training and can suddenly beat the bad guys that the other good guys who are more powerful then the hero, can't even beat, its totally worth it.

After awhile the art changes for, like after a few epeisodes you'll notes differenaces in the hair and such. And the dub version, the voices sound alot better as the series goes on.

There is alot of backstory as well ya gotta get through like there generally is.

But yeah! totes worth it imo if you wanna stick it out. I'm not finished with it, but yeah. Imo there is also alot of character growth as well. Which is AWESOME.
