How did you get into anime?

[Southe,]

£50 might not be a lot to you,but i have no source of income except birthdays sooooooooooo im not gonna spend £50 which i could spend on a couple games when i could easily stream (and i have no problem with streaming, it doesnt change anything imo).

Thats why you save up money. sureley you get pocket money or something yes?

[Jord]

Look those dudes are miles cooler than you ever hope to be.

Because I watch Dubs?

Lol, so true i get on at everyone who streams, ill stream and download later if im wanting to watch an episode asap for example.



26 episodes is nothing. unless you have a crappy HD.



Can get 500GB Externals for as little as £50 now. and 1TB for an extra £20. wise investment.



True tho i cant get it to work on dvds =/ i tried one but it just jittered and played in b & w. and Crunchyroll is quite good streaming.



You stream, Your to lazy to read Subs, You prefer 4kids OP to Funi OP, You Like Naruto Fillers, Im sure people could name a few more so you have no right to call anyone else "Idiot anime watchers" when your probably the top of that group.

As for me,

My first anime would have been Pokemon, i maybe watched the 1st two seasons before i lost intrest in the show, later it was Dragonball Z. Which i remember only watching parts of it mayb until the end of cell before i moved onto wrestling i think it was. My 1st show i watched knowing what anime was, was Naruto, became a Narutard. then got my actogether and started watching other shows like bleach ( Initially saying One Piece was crap and not trying it lol until starting college ) and other series.

So been into anime for about 4 years, but ive been intrested in japan for a few years before game wise. Anyway im trying to find out if im wapanese or not lol.

I am not to lazy to read subs, I dont like to sit and do nothing for 30 mins I would rather put it in half screen and post on habbox or speak to friends in the mean time while watching stuff. And I did not know there was another type of OP I explained it like 50 times now, Lets do it once more

I make a thread asking for LONG animes (100 EPISODES AND MORE!!1!!)

You suggjest One piece

I say sure ill watch it

I go onto my dub site

click one piece

Oh to my shock there is 116 Dubbed episodes or the other dubbed episodes thats only 36 episodes long which one shall I choose I did want to watch LONG animes

Ill choose the 116 episode one!!!

Once I found out the people who dubbed the 116 episodes stopped the other dubbers done 117 and the voices were weird!

I only wasted 2 odd weeks getting into it and now all there voices are changed!!



And im with niahm (soz if I spelt name wrong :X) I only get money on birthdays and no pocket money how am I ment to buy £70 worth of harddrive space when I got £0 to my name,

I don't see anything wrong with streaming, who cares if you get better quality with downloading? It takes like forever to download and no point downloading something I might only watch once. There are no such things as idiot anime watchers, we have different preferences so get over it. I only watch shojo anime because *suprise suprise* I'm a girl and it's what I like (and Niall cause he's a queer x), it's not to your tastes I'm sure, does that make me an idiot watcher? I tend to stream, it's faster, easier and does the job, why would I want to waste my harddrive or whatever on downloading when it's as easy as this :S
I don't have a lot of money and when I get it I'm not buying it for a bigger drive just to download anime, it doesn't make anyone less of a fan of it or not if you download it, you should be buying the dvds instead if you're so much better Although I agree subs are a lot better you can't decide where he's less of a fan than any of the rest, I think shojo anime too is better but again we all have different opinions. Get over it. I think I've managed to get a friend into anime and I'm downloading as we speak (only for a series I really enjoy) as this has convinced me so much :rolleyes:

Well put!


If its judged on how much you've watched some people have watched like 5 anime and are trying to say im less of a fan or there better than me because I watched dubs

[PaulMacC]

I recommended the whole forum is Bleach, I am the winner in this case.
I actually cant remember who recommended Death Note too me but I do remmeber it was someone from this forum, probably either Chris, Niamh or Niall because one of them had an awesome signature of Death Note and I was like omg.
@Jord - The thing that pisses me off about dubs is that for me, it takes away the comedic factor, action factor and much more. America treats Anime like a kids cartoon and censors the hell out of it, takes away a lot of the blood, gore, swearing and humour to make it suitable for the younger american audience because once again american thinks it's a cartoon and not an adults cartoon.

[Jord]

Yes well they do put action and comedy and blood and gore in them but ones like that got popular like DBZ And yu-gi-oh was BIG in uk so I think they were in US also so thats why people think its for kids all the playing cards and stuff,

I get pissed off because I make a simple thread asking for something like long anime and the replys I get are "something - Oh wait not dubbed" same with yahoo awnsers I ask for dubbed anime they give me links to subs,

[Niall!]

I love that stuff jen, but lack any series.

[Southe,]

Break this one down

I am not to lazy to read subs, I dont like to sit and do nothing for 30 mins I would rather put it in half screen and post on habbox or speak to friends in the mean time while watching stuff.

So how come i can watch and chat at the same time? and so can other people. it isnt exactly hard. Its called multi-tasking.

Should of watched the SUB then seeing as thats the only version thats UNCUT. Like i dont have a problem with you watching black cat and.. DGM because funimation dosent cut anything out of it the only things are the voices, The 4kids versions of any shows especially One Piece are just plain terrible. Could have easily watched the 1st eps in Sub then changed to funi which had the next season taking you up to 200.

Once I found out the people who dubbed the 116 episodes stopped the other dubbers done 117 and the voices were weird!

I only wasted 2 odd weeks getting into it and now all there voices are changed!!

Plus how can you say the voices are wierd? only decent one was Zoro. Sanji sounded like a ******, Ussop was wierd version of Sonic, Luffy sounded like a 10 year old..

And im with niahm (soz if I spelt name wrong :X) I only get money on birthdays and no pocket money how am I ment to buy £70 worth of harddrive space when I got £0 to my name,

You can make your own externals for even less.., Birthdays, Christmas, Save up your pocket money, If your 15/16 Get a job.

Because you just can't beat watching a show in HD quality or DVD, But i stream Gintama but thats a HD stream done by a proffesional site, Some people like to watch series over again at some point, And downloads dont take that long takes 10 mins for a new ep of Naruto,FMA,OP to download. other series may take like 20 mins. I do buy dvds, But some series will never be released so thats why downloading it useful.

And its not just about him watching dubs. well for me anyway.

Well put!

No ones judging anything about the number of animes you watch.

Yes well they do put action and comedy and blood and gore in them but ones like that got popular like DBZ And yu-gi-oh was BIG in uk so I think they were in US also so thats why people think its for kids all the playing cards and stuff,

DBZ = Funimation
Yu gi oh = 4kids. So that would have been edited to ****

To get a show on a channel like cartoon network they do have to cut most the violence out. but like naruto you get Uncut dvds. 4kids you dont get that option. They take it r**e it and slap it on dvds with no uncut or sub option. So america thinking anime is for kids int exactly true its just 4kids evryone else gives you uncut when they get to dvd. So i have to download Sonic x and the F-Zero anime.

There voices were weird for the characters I ment, I got used to sanji having a very post voice, Then in fumation he sounds like a proper american

Thats why you save up money. sureley you get pocket money or something yes?

Like i said, no source of income = no pocket money. :p Slightly too young for a job and even if i did, i really wouldnt download anime because;
a) My connection sucks and would take forever to download the billions of anime that we've all watched.
b) The only anime ive watched twice is FMA + utawa, so i dont usually.
c) Id rather spend me cash on a 360 game.

Trust me, you wont ever get me downloading an anime, unless thats the only way i could possibly watch it.
