I was kinda waiting for someone else to start a thread about anime on here, but it just seems like that's not happening, so I guess I'm going to have too.

This thread is a place to discuss your favorite anime/manga from all angles. Wether its subbed, dubbed, or you understand every word. Here's a place to discuss wich anime your currently watching, planning on watching and wich one was your favorite, and what anime is currently coming out at the moment, a game series, whatever pleases.

I hope this thread gets attention, because if it does, there is A LOT to talk about!

Naruto Shippuden FTW. I watch it in Japanese and English subtitles. Makes much more sense that way, and the Japanese voice actors are always better at emotional scenes.

I also liked Death Note, but it was too short.

After I'm done with Naruto if it ever ends) it's onto InuYasha or Full Metal Alchemist. Haven't decided which.

And I'm watching Robotech on Netflix. 80s toons rock.

First thing you need to know about Full Metal Alchemist:
There are two series total.
the original one strays off into uncharted territory to a point were, If you read the original manga, all it is is one long WTF. but its forgivable, because they made...
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood!
You watch Brotherhood, and it sticks fine to the story (More or less here and there) But if you have netflix, may I make a suggestion?

Gurren Lagann.

It's dubbed, but it's dubbed FANTASTICALLY. Id'e go so far as to say it's perfect. That, and it's just amazing. I mean, it's the pure definition of starting out small, and growing and surpassing everything that's expected of you as a race. Fighting powered by only fighting spirit, PURE willpower! It's limitless!

Also, when you invent teleportation, JUST to punch a guy flat in the face? Well... That speaks for itself.

Is FMA brotherhood the one where one brother's spirit is trapped in an armor?

And if Gurren Lagann is streaming on Netflix I'll check it out after Robotech.

Both of them are the same. They tell the same story, up to a certain point, but the original breaks off and does it's own thing.
FMA: Brotherhood, however, Follows the real story, and is much more impacting. Sub or dub doesn't matter on them, cause they both are amazing, really.

I hope you check out Gurren Lagann sooner than later though, seeing as how is only, like, 26 episodes, and it's on youtube legaly through MANGAintertainment's channel. Same with FMA, it's on Funimation's channel, so there's that too.

Attempting to watch Cowboy Bebop.
Havn't been this confused since FLCL...

I watch dubs. If I wanted subtitles, I would read manga.

I've watched a lot of stuff lately. Vampire Knight and Vampire Knight Guilty are both awesome to see. Thoroughly enjoyed them.

Working on Black Butler right now. Sebastian is simply one hell of a butler.

Heaven's lost Property... That was weird, yet strangely hilarious.

Spike and Jet are bounty hunters, also called Cowboys. They travel the solar system hunting bounties, but because Spike has problems with self-restraint, the bounty ends up dead and, thus, they don't get paid. Along the way they are joined by Ein, Faye, and Ed, who you should be able to figure out just by seeing them. It is not a complicated series. There are only five episodes that actually tie together, the rest are villain-of-the-week format. Though Cowboy Funk is my favorite.

You just sold me on this series.

And if I ever have a son, I'm naming that little bastard Spike Spiegel. He'll either thank me or hate me for the rest of his life.

It confused me because, in one episode they all die, and they are all alive in the next. So I get to thinking these are all stand alone episodes. Then suddenly *DING* a storyline! And then no story anymore...
