Eh, I don't know. I usually only look at the source material if I really liked the anime. I only like reading it in book format and not on my computer, so I only buy them when I have extra money. I only own the complete manga for K-On, Love Hina, and Ace Attorney. I own three of the Spice and Wolf Light Novels.

Well, it was just a suggestion. For me, Soul Eater is the manga due to being better.

Maybe they can do the same thing they did with Fullmetal Alchemist and do a second anime series that is faithful to the manga to its end. The first Fullmetal Alchemist anime also had the whole divergent story thing while FMA Brotherhood covers the entire story of the manga.

...Y'know this discussion reminds me that I should probably get into watching some more animes, anyone got any good ones they can recommend? (And by extension any light novels/mangas?)

What genre of anime you prefer?

Anyway, Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are must-watches. I recommend Attack on Titan too, but this one isn't for everyone since it can be disturbing at times.

Durarara!! is cool too.

As for manga, you have Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist and Attack on Titan. The last one is still ongoing. And I also recommend Soul Eater and Blue Exorcist if you're into the action and supernatural genres.

"Have you no wine?"

My friend introduced me to Spice and Wolf.

Holo and Lawrence are both amazing characters. I thought the first season was very good, but the 2nd season was fantastic. They need to finish the anime. I hope they start it up again. It was about this long of break between Seasons 3 and 4 of Minami-Ke and Seasons 2 and 3 of Genshiken. I really love the dub voice actors though, so I hope Funimation does it.

I mean I might try to read it eventually, not sure. I do plan on watching Soul Eater NOT to see if it's any better. I think the character designs are better looking then in Bones' anime.

In a way I hope the new 2nd anime thing happens with Angel Beats after the visual novel comes out. AND after the adapt Rewrite.

Doesn't really matter to me, I like most genres, so fire away.

I've watched and absolutely loved Fullmetal, have yet watch either Death Note or AoT, but I've heard good things. And thanks, I'll check out your recommendations once I get the time.

Death Note. It's like a supernatural detective show... or Ace Attorney.

Seriously, it's pretty good.

Not! is a spin-off prequel of the original Soul Eater. The anime is also by BONES but will follow the manga's story completely, as stated by the author. They started the anime with the intention of it finishing at the same time as the manga.

Is Ace Attorney an anime?

(I know it's a VN. I'm just joking.)

 

[Pazzo.]

Frost, quit reminding me how much I'd adore an AA anime.

 

[Deleted member]

I probably should watch Death Note at some point.

By the way, is SmashBoards crashing for anyone else?

Oh wow. I didn't realize that. But when I saw Maka she looked a lot more like I wished she had in the original Soul Eater. That's good to know though. Thanks for the info.

[allison]

I haven't really watched any anime other than Miyazaki (which are really good movies).

 

[Frostwraith]

There are some series I'd like to see an anime of. Like Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus.

By the way, your avatar is undeniably cute.

I actually prefer the designs of the first anime. lol

The designs in both manga series are more or less the same, since they're by the same mangaka.

 

[Deleted member]

So, if I'm to watch Death Note, would it be better to watch it dubbed or subbed? (Probably a stupid question, but w/e)

I've never seen Death Note so I don't know what voice actors are in it.

Well it's all a matter of opinion I guess.

 

[Frostwraith]

Matter of preference. I watched it subbed.

I actually fluctuate between original Japanese and English dubbed. It doesn't make much of a difference to me.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

I will say that Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are must-watches if you're looking for any sort of recs. Both of them should be considered hallmarks for their respective demographics and genres.

If a dub is available with quality voiceacting and is not cringey, I'd take it. Death Note seems to have this going for it.

Yeah I usually watch which ever version I find first. Though I search for the dub if there is one and I really like the voice actors in it.

 

[Blaziken]

I feel like I'm the only person here who doesn't watch any anime.

 

[Deleted member]

Aight, I guess it doesn't matter then. So long as the subtitles don't change to ****ing Spanish, I guess I'll watch either language.

 

[Frostwraith]

I actually went for the English dub for FMA Brotherhood because I felt it would make more sense with the European-inspired setting.

Mostly, I watch English dubbed anime if I read the manga in English. So the characters will speak the same language.

 

[Deleted member]

I can say the same for Cowboy Bebop, to the point where the dub is probably the definitive version.

 

[The Light Music Club]

I used to never watch it. But once I tried it, I became obsessed. I was known around school for being the big anime nerd. When Faze Mala (I think he's Obey Mala now) was considered the really cool kid, even though he plays just as many video games as I do.

FMA Brotherhood's dub is one of those animes where the English dub is better and improves the tones of the show. Besides, Japanese Ed sounds really off from Mignogna English Ed. It's a Goku predicament here.

Fate/Zero also has a superb dub. Kiritsugu also happens to share a VA with Chrom and Captain Levi. His performance here compels me just as much.

 

[Deleted member]

I just love how dubs work sometimes. All text is in Japanese, and the characters speak English.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

So, did I ever tell you guys about the time where I allegedly met Tourette's Guy's nephew at a tourney?

Gonna have to disagree with you on FMA since I can never take English Ed or Al seriously even though literally everyone else is okay.

Then again, I also love Romi and Rie, so no wonder.

Fate/Zero on the other hand? English or Japanese, that anime is flawless.

 

[FalKoopa]

Anime talk? Why wasn't I invited? My tastes are almost opposite to Frostwraith's, since I prefer comedies and slice of life.

Usually for me it's which ever one I heard first. But I personally think one of the best dubs is Space Dandy. I couldn't imagine Dandy any other way BUT as Ian Sinclair. Maybe because of the humor in it? I feel like Dandy is supposed to be American, going to Space Hooters and the last episode being practically in space High School Musical.

Same!

 

[Frostwraith]

I actually don't mind dubs as long as it's animated. Of course, I also expect quality from the actors' performance. It's also interesting to compare different language dubs (because the original Japanese is technically also a dub since characters are animated before acting).

Live-action dubs, however, are awkward and unbearable. In that regard, I like that, in my country, there's an overall preference for subs over dubs.

I just love how dubs work sometimes. All text is in Japanese, and the characters speak English.

And sometimes you see characters speaking Japanese and writing English... Like what happens with FMA.

You can also have characters practicing Engrish.. in english. Like in the K-On movie.

"Ok Azusa, no more speaking Japanese, only English! Even though this has been an English dub the entire movie so far!"

Tragedy is best genre.

 

[Frostwraith]

True that. I prefer action and supernatural stuff.

Nothing feels better than watching an anime where every character is a badass in over-the-top ways.

That doesn't mean I dislike comedies and slice of life. In fact, I actually like a balance between action and badassery, and character interaction in more normal situations.

 

[Pazzo.]

The manga is pretty good. Have you read that?

Some of it.

There are some series I'd like to see an anime of. Like Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus.

Agreed. Heck, I'll just take a Zelda movie made by Ghibli.

And thank you. I just finished Earthbound a few weeks ago.

 

[Frostwraith]

You're gonna like Attack on Titan, then.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

I prefer my anime with a side of darkness with lightly-pinced philosophy.

My perferences are pretty indicative of why I'm vehemently anti-Shounen Jump. Or, you know, I just can't tolerate the popular fighting shounens.

 

[Deleted member]

All you guys talking about all these animes while I just sit in the corner having only watched about a handful of series. I only recently got into it though, so there is that to account for. Plus I've always been much more of (obviously) a video game nerd than anything else.

 

[Deleted member]

Attack on Titan is 1 of 2 anime I've seen actually.

Don't worry, man! Take what you can from our discussion and you shall find yourself more immersed in anime than before.

We were all neophytes to anime at one point and there's a lot of points where you can feel insecure about yourself. This is pretty much me when it comes to music.

You should atleast watch Pokemon for the sake of your current avatar.

By popular fighting shounens you mean overly long running stuff like Naruto, One Piece and Bleach? Never read any of them. lol

Most shounen I've read aren't really mainstream: Soul Eater, Blue Exorcist, Attack on Titan (it runs on a Shounen magazine, I kid you not!), Magi: Labyrinth of Magic, and Assassination Classroom (runs on Shounen Jump, but it's quite different from your typical shounen manga).

The only exception: Fairy Tail.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I like my anime with Goku.
