Well.. have you ever tried subbed Anime?... I mean only watching dubs.. isn't that the definition of blasphemy?.. I've watched subbed on a few occasions. I don't hate it. I just prefer to hear my animation spoken in English. It's certainty not blasphemy. Now the definition of blasphemy would be me admitting that I liked the 4Kids dub of One Piece. Oh sh-

Well.. You miss out on alot... There are alot of shows that don't get dubbed.. Hell.. I was going to say I don't think anything I'm watching now has a dub although I remembered two do have dubs (granted bad but..) and one that one of them probably has one eventually coming out..

has anyone watched Nausicaa or Princess Mononoke, or Howl's moving castles i <3 them and then im a big fan of Love so Life <3 Howl's Moving Castle, it's one of my favorite movies ever, and certainly my favorite Miyazaki film. Mononoke I didn't like nearly as much, but I thought it was an amazing film none the less. I haven't seen Nausicaa yet, but I'm hoping to get around to that sometime soon. So... Anyone else watch 4 hours of Anime today with all of that time being a different episode of different shows Not different shows, but the same show. About 8 hours worth ^^; And I watch dubs and subs. I prefer dubs only if the dub is really good (ie: Cowboy Bebop), but I don't have a problem with subs. It's mostly because I'll get lazy and not want to read, especially if i'm going to have it off to the side and will be doing something else while "watching."

I like dubs if they are good.. usually I watch dubs with the subs on to see what the difference was. I do like subs though. Usually if I love a series I'd buy the DVD so I have the option of watching it both ways. Sometimes the dubs and subs can be totally different experiences.. example of that was Kiki's Delivery Service.. I actually preferred that dubbed since Pixar did such a ridiculously awesome job at it. The Japanese one was very muted and subtle with almost no lines for the cat (they even said that their budget was minuscule for it and actually preferred the Pixar version to their own).

0_0 Episodes 22-25 can be watched like a movie. They're essentially a 4 part episode Yeah, I know I can get through it in a day if I tried, but I've been watching alot of other shows, I figure if I'm already this late finishing it a little while longer isn't going to make THAT Much of a difference... Well for the record if you're happy now I just finished the first one... although seeing how it "ends" clearly it's not fair to say finished... But I'm just going on a technicality here since the fact the called what's after that R2 which I haven't started yet so there

Ah yes, bout time we talked about the Miyazaki films.
I havn't seen them all, but the first I ever saw was princess Monoke when I was very young.
My favorite is (and this may seem like a weird choice)
1. Castle in the sky
That movie is so great though it's not nearly as well animated as his others...
2. Howl's moving cast;e/Princess Monoke
They both tie for second. I can't help but fall in love with the Howl cast, and princess monoke is just awesome.
4. Spirited Away. Arguably his best work, but I didn't really like the plot nor the ending.
5. The rest...
Nothing else of his that I've seen really sticks out among the rest, but I still have a few left to watch.

1. Kiki's Delivery Service (I expect to be on my own for having this as my favorite ) 2. Whisper of the Heart 3. Spirited Away/Castle in the Sky (I flip flop between which one I love better.. honestly.. both are totally different stories.. but I did love Spirted Away. It was so different than anything I loved and it was so unapologetically Japanese that I really loved it. While Castle reminded me of FFXI in feel.. hard to explain if you've never been to Sky in FF11 ) 4. Howl's Moving Castle/My Neighbor Totoro 5. Nausica Valley of the Wind (even though it was so damn preachy.. )/ The Cat returns Hated: 1. Ponyo (visually stunning but WTF with the story.. it was like he was on acid when he wrote it) 2. Princess Mononoke (way too preachy to the point where it clubbed you over the head with the environmental story) 3. Porco Rosso 4. Lupin III (sorry just couldn't get into the story.. it was too generic) 5. Pom Poko (expanding/flyable crotches were just too freaky for me..) And with that I can say I can't wait for The Borrower Arrietty when it finally comes out in the USA P.S. If we include all Ghibli films including the ones from Tanaka.. I actually really liked My Neighbors the Yamadas.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_%28manga%29Hmm.. never seen it.. but if it's "male oriented".. yeah.. with a pic of that.. nope.. too many jiggles to watch.. LOL Bada I don't believe it's that painful to watch. The Pixar dub of Kiki's is most likely the best dub in the business.. and the cat was one of Phil Hartman's last works. His Gigi is my favorite.. the Japanese Gigi was so quiet.. either way.. I'm a cat fanatic so that was soooo up my alley. Whisper of the Heart is music driven mostly though I would think you might find THAT one boring over Kiki's. IMO of course.

That being said I wish the sub of today's episode was out faster so I could have watched it before I had to leave.. What?...... Edit: Had to click the link to see pic in question.. Was disappointed... You see more in 5 minutes than that... Hell.. Even the ending shows more and compared to the show that's nothing...
