[QUOTE=Kidd;36768064]I usually don't watch dubs and if I do I usually only watch Funimation dubs.[/QUOTE] On that topic I recently came across Panty & Stocking's Funimation dub. Much better than I expected, I'd say it's one of the few anime english dubs that don't make my head hurt in embarassement

Inaba once again proving that she's the best character in the second episode of Kokoro Connect

Dog Days Ep 2, that transformation.

[QUOTE=Dragoshi1;36766212]I don't care about the difference between dubs. [/QUOTE] Same, although it's still surprising at times. For example I watched Fullmetal Alchemist dubbed first way back when, and years later I watched it subbed. BIG difference in Ed's voice actor although not necessarily for better or worse. I've never watched Sgt. Frog, but looking it up it seems like a LOT was changed from country to country, and not just in America. Jeez, I've never seen this much variation from a single anime. [I]Generally[/I] speaking I watch anime subbed, but if I hear that the dub is good then I'll watch it dubbed first, then subbed later if I have the time. Like Black Lagoon. Again, don't have a huge preference for either voice actor cast, but what the christ were they thinking with Revy's Japanese voice actor with her Engrish moments? Seriously Rock and Fry Face's English moments weren't that bad (but still mediocre), but Revy's was [I]baaaaad.[/I] It's like when American voice actors imitate foreign accents and fall flat on their face, and same with Brit actors. Although lets be honest I was fooled more than once when some of my favorite actors in American TV shows were actually British. Like Sayid from Lost. But anyway, I'm actually going to watch Durarara!! next, subbed first, and then dubbed if I hear it's any good and if the anime itself is good, which I heard it was from a lot of people. [QUOTE=dgg;36766403]Subs are always better than dubs unless the dubs are bad on the level of a bad horror movie turned into comedy. No exceptions.[/quote] ok

The only english dubs I EVER enjoyed was probably a couple of 20th Century Anime shows. Like uuuuh, trigun and cowboy bebop.

From what I've seen, the PSG dub actually has a couple [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4gLuE3iN6c&feature=player_detailpage#t=416s"]great moments[/URL] of improv, but quite a few equally bad moments as well.

PSG dub sounds good. But yeah it does have it's bad moments. I feel like P & S could of had better voice actresses but it's not bad at least.

Sword Art Online episode 2 is out, time to watch.

The only dub I like is Dragonball, although that might just be nostalgia since it was my favourite show as a kid. I find the Lucky Star dub passable, too, but I still prefer the sub

Geeez why doesn't anyone have SAO episode 2 subbed. nvm found this site [url]http://animeking.org/sword-art-online-episode-2-english-sub/[/url]

-le snip no longer needed-

[QUOTE=Carnage2323;36771373][HorribleSubs] Sword Art Online - 02 [720p].mkv uh...[/QUOTE] Thanks anyways. edit: these episodes are way to short :(

Man, Kirito turned into a dick [editline]14th July 2012[/editline] No idea why he went with the dark & edgy way out of that situation, he could of easily gotten through it without

Well that's the way suspense builds up.

Also [sp] That was kind of forced drama with him not accepting the health pot [/sp]

SAO 2 [sp]felt way too forced. I mean I know there was a month time skip, but I expected some more character development before any "epic" boss fights and deaths. Hopefully next week is better.[/sp]

Yay, I'm 19 now.(one hour into my birthday)

Until he put on the coat, I thought he'd been rewarded with a Goat of Midnight. Didn't even doubt it.

TWGOK getting more after I bring it up after finishing the series. I better do this more often.
