re: dubs VS subs

Subs all the way forever. My understanding of spoken Japanese is pretty good, but subs are nice to have when people are either speaking too fast for me to keep up, or in a regional dialect with specific words I don’t fully recognize. I also enjoy keeping current with the stories/news/discussion in JP fa…

Shhh! we don’t mention the G-word round these parts

God, that dude is just STRUGGLIN’ to stay relevant in any capacity.

He’s not wrong about Digimon, though, lol. If my spoken fluency ever catches up to my reading proficiency. I’ll take native over anything else, but fast talkers and various dialects till throw me for a loop.

OH MY GOD, YES. THIS

I use the dog ending theme as an alarm on my phone

He’s probably a creeper. Wouldn’t be the first

Playing Underview + grinding the heck outta ‘Eureka: Anemos’ on FF-XIV, which I wish you would log in to more, @Riley!

(we can’t really blame you if you want to shiver some timbers on your fav ‘Pirate Game’, though)

Then please enlighten me as to how filing a police report against barstool (for nothing I am pretty sure) does not constitute trying to suppress free speech?

Ok, here’s a ~VERY~ simple break-down since a whole bunch of dumb-dumbs seem to have a hilarious and completely half-baked understanding of what the 1st…

The thing people need to understand with FLCL is, despite being super ahead of its time and doing all kinds of things visually that nobody would even consider at the time, with a huge visual impact on the industry in general, and enjoying a massive cult status internationally, FLCL did not enjoy the same level of…

I feel like their faces speak volumes.

“There’s a secret meaning behind Costco’s Prices...”

“...so long as you’re still an obedient conformist drone who exists to serve the groupthink”

The though process between westerners and JP are pretty different, cause I can tell you that what you wrote above is definitely NOT the consensus among japanese students. In the states (and based on comments I’ve seen here, the…

Thanks for reminding me I haven’t listened to Hikki in forever, Bashcraft :3
Love this track <3

@ AriesWarlock:
But what is the plot? lol

Probably the reason nobody has given you a solid answer about the plot is because explaining the plot/setting is, in itself, actually spoilering the series a bit.

Sweet! Thanks for the Recc!

Iron Chic is super, super good. Their newest record is excellent, and made me glad they were able to bounce back after the death of their guitarist. Everyone in iron Chic all grew up/went to school with members of VT’s ‘The Path’(I’m friends with Jon) & Mattie from ‘RVIVR/Latterman’.

You might enjoy ‘The Path’, as…

I’ve been having a sort of renaissance with Japanese Grindcore/Noise/Doom Metal. 

Self Deconstruction is a band I’ve been in love with for a few years (largely because of ex ‘Sete Star Sept guitarist’, Kuzuha who is just fantastic):

Uhh.. what points? Where? All you said (to me) was a very dismissive:
“I don’t think you’ve ever read the manga then”

You’re not the only one with a wall full of manga (including JP prints & original US format Viz select issues), friendo

***EDIT***: Nevermind, I see your post below (it wasn’t showing up on my phone).

“I don’t think you’ve ever read the manga then.” 

I mean.. Alita/Gally’s NOT supposed to look human, that’s kind of the point. I’m more dissappointed that Makaku(Grewcica if they’re following the OVA route, since cameron owns the rights to that as well) is not MORE grotesque looking. Really, the only time in the manga where her proportions are more ‘realistic’ is in…

That... uh.. is maybe the least-shinobi-looking-yet-extremely-samurai-esque-outfit I’ve seen on Bats in recent memory.

ALSO: while this was PROBABLY a terrible idea, at least we can blame it on Mizusaki Junpei, ahaha
