Chatterbox - Anime & Manga

Oh.

This sounds hilarious.

Interesting analysis of broadcast dubs and what they could mean for the future of anime in America.

That was unreadable...

That too.

There's a surprising lack of commentary on the actual quality of the dubs themselves.

Both guys (maybe it's just one guy acting as two?) seem deadset on the idea that all dubs are worse than the Japanese version. -_- It makes me wonder how old the writer is.

I dunno about Diego, but Sanic seems pretty deadset on "subs > dubs".

Which, really, are you surprised?

... I am inclined to believe both guys are fictional and written by a single writer for the purpose of expressing both sides of the argument.

I think Diego is real, but Sanic is obviously a persona. Either that, or someone with no imagination decided to make their username "Sanic".

Confirmed for Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch.

Despite the guy saying that he "watched every one of their broadcast dubs" as of that article.

Well, it would be a-thematic not to call them Boobies, given that it's the big flashing neon-sign name of the establishment that provides the most of them.

Adding a lot of tangential pictures to try to break up a text article is not a good practice. One or two should be enough.

Using animated pics is just plain bad netiquette. My eyes hurt.

What I find funny about Sanic there is that firstly, he says dubs are bad for reasons that must surely affect the Japanese studios, secondly he ends by making Disney's Ghibli dubs the sacred exception, which are certainly high quality but make a fair few questionable translation changes. It's arbitrary purism.

Space Dandy's script diverges noticeably from the original, but I thought the final product worked fine.

This.

However hamhanded that "argument" was, this was worse.

Can someone tell me where I can find a colores version of this◊ image?

Will this wiki image◊ do? No idea who colored it.

It was originally in colour. The version posted was taken from a grey-scale volume release

so i just finished hito hitori futari.

overall a really good, underrated series with fantastic art and good characters. would recommend, wish i hadn't taken so long to get around to it.

What is it about?

Say, is anyone here into Vinland Saga? I bought the first volume and am wondering what to expect.

Vinland Saga is good stuff.

It may be the best Manga out there, eclipsing even Berserk, when it comes to, shall we say, things that critics like.

nah that's vagabond.

Bleh. Yeah, there is. That thing is way too damned slow, for fuck's sake. It's been years since I stopped keeping up with Musashi's drama.

it's not much slower than berserk, honestly. i think vagabond has had bigger hiatuses but they both move along at a snail's pace.

specifically i mentioned it because vinland saga, while very good, always felt like vagabond lite.

Handoru-san: I don't know about "best" but my favorite manga is Blackjack.

How is it "Vagabond lite"?
