Didn't you say that you never watch anime in English a while ago? Because I consider that the same thing. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Not trying to egg you on anything btw. Besides, you're only a true weeb if you own a body pillow, something I remember you showing disgust at the idea
I have watched some anime in English, so you're putting words in my mouth again.

That said, I do watch anime in Japanese far more often and prefer it that way.

You didn't see me complaining about the lack of Japanese audio in Xenoblade X, did you? Hell, I even said that the dub cast was good and it IS a good dub.

I heard both VOs and the voice actors match the characters and do a suitable performance for the story. Both have their own merits.

Oh, Frosty-senpai getting angry for being called a weeb, how surprising! :p
Yes, I know I'm a blatant anime fan, but I still hate the idea of being a weeb. You have seen me complain about the anime fanbase enough to know that.

I like anime and manga as art forms and entertainment, but I do not obsess over them. >_>

However, it is true that I get invested in things I like, doing research and being knowledgeable about them. I do the same with video games.

Speaking of seiyuu being brought back often, Jojo Allstar Battle came out before the anime iirc, yet the anime seiyuu are the same as the game
Gotta bring back the same voice actors for the same characters, after all. :p

Dubs > Subs?
That neither. Judge both and conclude on your own terms.

Art should be judged by each one's own tastes.

My apologies for mixing up something, I'm not in the best shape recently

I do think Undertale might be overhyped but I can't stand it when say they don't understand why people like a game.
As for the game itself...

I'm sure it's good...but it's not Super Mario World good...

Still, you'll always be our weeb
And I love how you get angry when you are called a weeb :p

Best game polls will only work when the most forgotten and simple rule starts to get implemented:
SEPARATE THE GAMES IN ****ING GENRES IN THE FIRST ROUNDS!

These best games ever polls never work.

People having their own lists works great but these polls just gravitate towards the current hype.

I honestly don't see the appeal of undertale. I played it, and I didn't understand the hype at all.
I don't like how this year you have to vote for every single match up in the current bracket.

Like, one of the upcoming ones is Mario RPG vs Chrono Cross and MGS2 Vs. Resi4.

Now, I want to vote for Resi4 but I don't like Chrono Cross and I've never played Mario RPG, so I don't feel like I should vote between the two. But I can't vote for Resi4 at all.

Characters you never thought shared the same voice actor part 3!: @Zoroarking edition!

THIS IS NOT A JOKE...
I actually knew that :p
Also, it's in the english dub and I'm just like Frosty-senpai when it comes to dubs and subs :p

Fad game > Legacy game
Deal with it.:yeahboi:
I don't think I'd call Skyrim a fad game since it came out four years ago. Elder Scrolls games tend to have a lot of longevity to them.

I'm more surprised that Oblivion and Morrowind aren't on that poll. I can understand not including Arena or Daggerfall due to their relative obscurity but no ES3 or 4?

Probably because there's a ton of people who know what a Skyrim is but only half of them or less know what an Elder Scrolls is.

Whenever I hear someone call Elder Scrolls Online "Skyrim Online" I vomit in my mouth a little.

You know now I just want to dub over the original footage so that it will show Zatch saying, "Cindy, get out of my lab!" But yeah I usually watch the Japanese dub, and sometimes the English one to compare.

Elder Scrolls is a legacy series,Skyrim is a game that unintentionally brought a lot of dirt to the series,and now made Bethesda think they are the next Warcraft.

Also that poll has a huge bias for RPG,San Andreas lost for Chrono Cross and GTA V lost for Super Mario RPG.

Dirt? Next Warcraft? Aside from making the jump to an MMO I don't entire get what you're saying.

If anything, I'd consider Elder Scrolls to be the Dragon Quest of western RPGs. It's a hugely famous and long running series and whenever a new one comes out its practically a national holiday. Oh, and both series' newest entries were MMORPGs that were total flops.

Someone actually told me that Xenoblade has one of the worst fanbases out there... I'm confused as to why but okay his opinion...

Probably has something to do with the "WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE GAME? IT'S IRRELEVANT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR XENOBLADE" attitude some fans have.

Steven Universe has an obnoxious, awful fanbase to equivocate how bad a show it is.
