Why do they use the Japanese attack names, anyway? Like the World King Attack that Goku is always using. Weird, man.

Well it did take them years for them to finally correctly pronounce Kaio-ken.=]

As for why they use them, all just a translation choice. And sometimes stuff such as Fist of the World King or World King Fist could sound very awkward when said really fast.

It's better when you have something like One Piece where most of the attack names are not Japanese or they are just easy to translate, Gomu Gomu no Storm to Gum Gum Storm, and the Japanese attacks are not that hard to pronounce.

Suzuka is a decent sports anime, as long as you can deal with a love story.

Big Windup is a decent sports anime, as long as you can deal with the main character crying every damn episode.


Oh ya, Ookiku Furikabutte is a good one. I just couldn't take the monthly updates. Also in the manga without color, so many characters look alike so I couldn't tell what was going on.

I remember I saw one episode of the prince of tennis dub and they messed up translations to a point where it didn't make senes. They changed Ryoma's Twist Serve (yes, it's called Twist Serve in the Japanese version) to Kick Serve which makes 0 sense to me. Especially because later there's Shinji who also has a Kick Serve.

Deadman Wonderland.

Brutal manga and animee series, but I just watched an episode and I'm hooked.

It's a bit overrated but not bad, the dub of it is making me like the series better.

Just saw the first 8 minutes of Elfen Lied. I swear I just stepped into a freaking nightmare.

Eh, they knock it down several notches for a bit. No other scene is as crazy as the first 8 minutes if that's what you're wondering.
If you think it's too much, you can always try with the OVA once all the characters have been introduced(wait for Nana), it's a lot more light-hearted and doesn't have any violent scenes except for a flashback.
Personally i like Elfen Lied, it's a decent series, there are many plot holes, some characters aren't much more than fodder(Yuka) and the ending is kinda crappy, but the (rest of the)characters are fairly engaging, the art style is likable(if a bit bland) and it has a lot of thematic depth.

Elfen Lied was boring and stupid.

Anyway so I watch the new episode of the new Hunter x Hunter anime and I saw this scene...

 

And now no one can ever make me believe the new show is more kid-friendly...;)

Let me rephrase that.
No other scene is as 'in your face' as the first 8 minutes. Theres no uber-massacre of the levels of the first 8 minutes again.

And yes, i had kinda forgotten about that scene, i haven't watched it in a while.

Just got done watching Stage 2 of Initial D. I don't know why I love that show so much. I always have a voice in the back of my head saying "this is so stupid" but I can't help but like the series. If you're into racing movies you'll be a fan of this show.

On a side note, I feel sorry for the main character. His girlfriend is a prostitute. How unlucky is that?

I always wanted to watch that. I think I saw it on Netflix.

Just finished B Gata H Kei during my ban. It was a pretty funny show. I'm watching Darker Than Black Season 2 now.

Now that you've reminded me of Elfen Lied, the cute and happy memories of ZnT are gone.

If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go cry.

Yeah I sure did. Subscribing to FUNimation is coming in handy, so much anime to discover.

This. Because of the FUMimation channel I found so many new series.

What "FUNimation channel" are we talking about? Like, on YouTube? I wasn't aware they HAD a channel.

I've just been using Hulu, which is almost perfect, except that it doesn't seem to have ANY dubs. Not even the popular ones.
