So does anyone know some good romance/comedy anime's?

I have been watching way too much action lately.

Not sure if they've made it across the pond.

Also, watching dubbed anime is kind of meh, there's just way too much lost in the translation.

as opposed to watching subbed... which is also translated

it depends on what company is doing the translation

Most recognizable anime line?

I'd say "Kamehameha!", "See you, space cowboy", or "I am Tetsuo".

Yea I saw some pretty bad translation the other day in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood I think. It gave me a good chuckle.

probably Kamehameha

I don't know anyone who didn't watch dragonballz as a kid (including people not normally in to anime)

Well yes, it depends on the quality of the dubbed acting as much as translation, as subbing leaves you with the original voices and mannerisms which go a long way towards understanding the original character. It's why I watched subbed foreign films and rarely if ever watch dubbed films, which generally embarrass.

I think " Burning Finger!" might ring a bell aswell.

OVER 9000!

Seriously, everyone knows it.

On a related note, I'm struggling to get through Natsu no Arashi!. Not as funny as School Rumble, not really even laugh out loud funny, but it is entertaining. I'm just being lazy. It's related because there are these little skits in the show where one woman is telling another about an interesting story she read then the line a character from the story always says. Except I never know which shows she is referring to.

What store that offers gift cards sells delicious cake? That store is awesome.

That would be Small Wonders, http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/12/09/figure-retailer-review-1-small-wonders/

The Shana I have is about 2/3s down the page. I also bought a random box figurine, but it was one I already had, so I gave that to my friend, so I had to pay just over $5 for the Shana since the card wasn't enough after that purchase.

We need a Fallout 3 anime.

If you look around, you can find some post-apocalyptic anime and manga here and there. Such as Fist of the North Star, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Japan, Angel's Egg or Akira (manga only).

Isn't Wolf's Rain somewhat post-apocalyptic? I heard it described like that once, but I haven't watched it yet. I'm still crawling through Gundam Wing...

Just finished Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's a mind [censored] at the end. It made me think too hard.

Not the many, many, many variations of the word 'Baka!'?

» Fri May 27, 2011 4:02 am

Yeah we use that in HK every day
Blaka (the B is pronunced with a v sadly, is a similar Greek word)

Now watch the End of Evangelion movie for an easier to understand visual version of Instrumentality. (though still a mind [censored])

No no, well OF COURSE, but an actual Fallout anime, based in the Fallout universe

Yeah, very much the same for me. There will always be something lost in translation, and this is always exacerbated when a localised dub is forced onto a production. Is it just me or does it sound like everyone is talking constantly in an English dub? Talking characters run onto one another as short Japanese phrases become prolonged English ones (or vice versa with a reverse effect). The dubbing team always has its hand forced by this. Also, the mannerisms, tone, accent and sound of the original voice actors who were chosen by the original production team and overseen by the original director. I'm a huge fan of sticking to the original vision for someone's works, so that's why I choose subs.

"Erm salt please"

That really did it for me after a while.
