If you could change one thing about anime...

[shadow741]

Pretty much for both manga and anime. Have the really long animes end already, dear god they're so LOOONG.

English dubs... enough said, they suck, they butcher anything they touch. For instance have you ever seen the god awful dubbed version of Naruto, compared to the subtitle version. I swear he says BELIVE IT at least 3x more often in the English version then he says Dattebayo in the original. and for that matter BELIVE IT is the most annoying translation possible!

It is so bad that pepole don't give the series a chance, and won't even try watching part 2

 

[The Hairminator]

The stereotyped characters and retarded voice actors in the dubs.

I mean, give me and some of my friends some money and we could do it loads better.

 

[EHKOS]

Deflate the girl in the pink shirt from Bleach so I could actually watch the damn thing.

 

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

BAN all english dubs and add bigger subtitles.

in mobile suit gundam 00 setsuna yells in english


I AM GUNDAM


and allujah says


wait what?


in the japenese version setsuna yells i am gundam


and in the japenese version allujah says what the hell did you just say?

see the difference.

Hell, in one of the episodes I heard some of the characters debating over how they got that big.

Breast sizes. Anime women have huge knockers that would make any realistic girl die. I'd like them if they were more realistic looking. I can understand D Cups, but when you push past that, it turns into a ''seem one pair, seen em all'' type of deal.

This, it lines up with why I didn't like Red alert 3. I don't want to be treated like a guy who blindly follows pathetic sex appeal.

This kind of thing is insulting to me as a member of the audience.

Other than that, I'd like company's that make English dubs to hire some voice actors who don't all sound like Goku.

Most animes suck in English, all the characters sound the same and none of them show any emotion in their voices.

I take it you've never seen Baccano? The dub is fantastic beyond words.

 

[RatRace123]

Naruto's jumpsuit, for some reason seeing him just pisses me right the hell off, and I'm sure that jumpsuit is a big factor.

Get him a black ninja outfit, and if it was one with a hood and a voice muffler, oh, that would be great. Believe it.

 

[thatstheguy]

More actual animation. It has detail, but that only gets you so far in animation. I'm not sure if I have the right to critique anime since I rarely watch it though.

 

[HellbirdIV]

I'd change it so that people have less extreme opinions about anime, because few things are quite so annoying as having to endure thirty-page flamewars because someone mentions they at one time or another watched this one episode of some poorly dubbed anime on some mid-90's TV channel.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Whatever I could possibly suggest has already been used by one or more anime already.

So why bother?

 

[Unia]

I would remove the parts where even supposedly smart people just stand there with gaping mouths going "ooohhh" whenever something remotely surprising happens. Which is every 3 minutes or so.

Also agree on adding in the surreal bikini clad sex object regardless of whether it makes sense for the story or not. Hell, how much stringing along do teenage boys need?

 

[Freeze_L]

I take it you've never seen Baccano? The dub is fantastic beyond words.

that actually was not bad, i am impressed. I never heard of that i think i will watch it some time soon, that scene got me interested.

 

[WayOutThere]

The dialogue in anime has a tendency to be unashamedly lame. I don't know if it get's that way in the dub or if it was originally written that way but regardless it needs to change.

 

[Queen Michael]

What a lovely thread! This certainly suits my tastes. I'd stop making anime so centered on youth. Gimme dem senior citizens! Gimme dem middle-aged women! Gimme dem fifty-ish men!

I understand what you mean. Today I saw a girl in the local library; she had perhaps THE hugest breasts I've ever seen (excepting, of course, people whose obesity makes their entire bodies huge) and by anime standards she was unusually small-sized.

Edit: Dang, double post. Sorry.

 

[Czargent Sane]

the final episode in a series must be without any question the best episode out of the entire series.
