RevanA4 Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 I've started watching some underground animes recently, and they're really good. what do you mean by underground series?
Reclaimer Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Animes no one watches...Mainly all the ones that saw little air or aren't popular on the major anime channels.
Aash Li Posted August 3, 2007 Author Posted August 3, 2007 Oooooooooooooooooh... Ive got a laundry list of anime I watch. ^_^ Kaze no Stigma Lucky Star Doujin Work Code Geass (new uncensored dvd subs! lol) Inukami (ecchi and very funny) Heroic Age Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori (Just finished) Darker than Black Claymore (<3) Murder Princess Might end up liking Denno Coil Zero no Tsukaima Zero no Tsukaima Futatsuki no Kisshi (second season of above) Kekkaishi Hitohira (yuri-ish :3) Zombie Loan Seto no Hanayome Mushi-uta (sort of Mai-hime meets Mushishi) And while Kamikaze Girls isnt anime, its pretty darn funny.
RevanA4 Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 I think he means stuff you download but that pretty much includes all non-licensed series there are a lot of series you have to download in order to watch because they aren't shown outside of japan. I can think of a few that won't make it to the US with out being chewed up and spit out >.<
RevanA4 Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 What's your point? My point is, I don't think that is what he meant.
Lord Revan63 Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 i like anime, its ok....... not many shows i like though but i love the show, Inuyasha, and Air Gear
Reclaimer Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I think he means stuff you download Pretty much. I got tons and tons of them.
RevanA4 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Pretty much. I got tons and tons of them. so like anything with out an official sub/dub?
Reclaimer Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Is that bad? Yeah they're not accurate as regular subs, but they make sense, or most of them do.
Aash Li Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Actually, I dont see the difference between "regular" subs and fansubs. Some of the fansubs are terrible and the translations are bad, but a good majority of them arent. But some of the commercial subs are even worse, namely because they look like they were just slapped together... Just because places like Geneon and ADV are paying people to translate a series, doesnt make their understanding of Japanese any better.
Lynk Former Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 But places like Geneon and ADV do get directives from companies in Japan as to how they want their animes to be translated. I've noticed you mention "regular", "fan", and "commercial" in there... I know what a fan and commercial sub is... but regular?
Aash Li Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Reclaimer said regular, I figured he meant commercial... and Geneon, ADV, Bandai, and some others are Japanese in origin, so they are of course going to follow the directives of their parent corporation. But places like Funimation, Disney, and 4kids, arent.
Lynk Former Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 ADVision's origin is the US, not Japan. But the company is partly Japanese owned by various anime related groups. Also, directives are part of licensing agreements, not just because a company follows orders from its parent like Geneon. FUNimation worked VERY closely with the Japanese creators of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime. In fact, most of the cast for the English dub was chosen by the Japanese... and we've already talked about Disney and 4Kids...
Aash Li Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 My original point is still valid though; just because the translators in commercial companies are getting paid doesnt make them any better than the fansubbers who do it for free. A translation depends on how good the person knows the language, not how much they are getting paid...
Lynk Former Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I wasn't challenging your point, I was just pointing out some facts.
Sabretooth Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 By the might of Thor, ARISE!! Ahem, so I'm close to completing Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori right now, after a lot of procrastination. Anybody got any suggestions on what I should watch next? Three animes on my plate (and I'll most likely be picking from one of these) are: Le Chevalier d'Eon Darker than Black Wolf's Rain (Dai Sato FTW!) Oh, and if you suggest anything other than these, be sure to give a synopsis or something. Just a general reason WHY I should watch it. Thanks.
JoeDoe 2.0 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I just finished watching some MORE anime myself Blood+ Air Gear (kinda like JSRF, me likes) I liked both of them, both stories were good and Air Gear second season is coming out in Christmas, I can't wait.
Jason Skywalker Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Oh hell yeah i like anime! Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, Buso Renkin, Baccano, Evangelion, Death Note, i've also started seeing .hack. I don't see what people see in Bleach though, i didn't like it one bit.
MdKnightR Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 By the might of Thor, ARISE!! NOOOO!!! Let it die in peace, please.
Rogue Nine Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Gurren Lagann is for teh uber winz. <3 Yoko + Nia
