I suppose it's this, since it's the series I'm watching now.


The one part I dislike about anime is that that even dubs nearly always use the original Japanese intro.

That's right. I'm a dub fan. Doesn't matter how shitty the dub voicework is, I will watch it in English!

I fast-forward through all non-English intros after the first time I watch it. Usually. I even put up with the One Piece dub intro. Hell...I LIKE IT.


It's just so cheesy I can't help but like it...

Why would you be a dub fan if the voicework shit? That doesn't make any sense. Also, I like the original Japanese intros. the music 9/10 times sounds better.

OT: Original intro to Soul Eater is pretty badass.

I'm the same way about anime dubs, most male characters are androgynous enough without feminin voices. And Japanese voices don't sound emotive to me.

That said: the Chobits theme is my new offical theme song.

Because it's in my fucking language, and I generally HATE the female voices in the few subs I've watched.

Maybe, but I don't see why you should let a language barrier be a problem. Hell, I got Japanese music from all kinds of different bands. I have absolutely no idea what they're saying but I love the sound you get from those bands moreso than you do from the average (keyword, AVERAGE) English/American band. Much like J-Rock bands, anime voiced by Japanese voice actors seem to fit more. For example, in Soul Eater, Black Star has a deep tough voice that fits the self-proclaimed "big man, soon to be god" character. But in the American version, the studio made him sound like a prepubescent boy or a girl. How the heck does that fit the character in the slightest? I could go on, but he's actually a perfect example of what I'm talking about. The actor may do a fine job, that doesn't mean the voice fits the characters at all.

I watch the occasional sub, but as long as the plot isn't fucked over due to translation issues, I'll still prefer the dub. I really don't care about the "spirit" of the character too much. Black Star still comes across as arrogant, and it made the fact that he actually has skills to back it up more surprising the first time. And even some of the times that followed. That said, don't spoil anything for me. I'm only on Episode 15.

Fair enough I suppose. By the way, I don't think I spoiled anything. I can't remember an appearance in the manga or anime where Black Star didn't call himself "an awesome Herculan exemplar who will become a god". (god does that get annoying after a while).

You didn't spoil anything. I just wanted to ensure your next post didn't feature any, is all.

Speed of Flow by The Rodeo Carburettor.

One of Gintama's opening themes. Also the ending theme Mr. Raindrop by amplified. You can't beat that song for an ending theme.
