Oh man, thats both good news and bad news. Goods news, I like Death Note. Bad news, it replaced Bleach as it was reaching the climax of the arc. Why couldn't they throw out some other show :fogetsad:

yeah well you can find Bleach online in Japanese with subtitles, and it's much better that way (actually, i think you can find the american version easily as well). i'm so excited for death note~! :D i really hope the dub doesn't suck. ._.

just go to veoh.com and you can find just about anything for free and legally in high qualtiy with super fast always on direct servers damnit. ;p

Anyway, Death Note...heard about it so much but just saw it. I don't know about this one. It could get better later on, but the elements in it are simplistic and in-direct (A notebook that kills people) + even though the writing is great and I'm sure the music is awsome.

I don't know...does it get better later on?

Now there's a hell of a scruples question:

Would you take the ability to kill anyone who'se name you knew, in any fashion you choose, if it meant you had to become an emo kid?

I think you are both missing the more important issue here.

How the hell is Blood+ still airing on Adult Swim!? (If I find out it's the same people behind Inuyasha's ratings I swear I am going to devote the rest of my life to finding a Death Note, and I WILL be creative about the causes of death)

Death note is diffrent then your average anime in that it`s not about fighting but mind games. And no it doesn`t get better. Infact at about ep. 15 it gets quite worse, and although later it`s gets better again, it never gets as good as the first 15 episodes.

ENJOY THEM LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!
if not I will write your name in my death note!

Post by: mkkmypet on October 21, 2007, 09:33:03 pm
death note was great until the yotsuba episodes, which started at 21 or so. episode 25 really shook things up (i cried ;_;), and then things got mellow (haha pun) and a little boring again with Mikami. still, though, i thoroughly enjoyed Death Note as a series. i'm happy they're showing it on Adult Swim so other people can see it too (and not little 7-year-old narutards since they'd be staying up past their bedtime :gwa: ).
so, about the episode! i thought it was pretty great. the english voices aren't bad. Ryuk sounds a little too evil though, and Light sounds a bit too grown-up. ryuk is supposed to sound sorta silly. i mean, he has a deep voice and all, but in some scenes, it gets higher pitched and whiny ("c'moooon Raitoooo~! gimme an apple!"). but i think i can get used to the English voices.
(English? it's not really english... it's american. meh. if it was english, they'd speak without the american accent and would be using British slang instead of American slang... but whatever.)

I haven't seen Death Note beyond the episode that aired last night, so I don't know who you're talking about. But the picture in my mind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yotsuba_Koiwai) would have made Death Note possibly the greatest show ever.

(I`ll be using japanese names since I never watched the dubbed version)

Dude! L and Light working together sucks! I loved the Genius vs Genius and suddenly it`s Genius + Genius vs Random Buisness Man. When Near and Mello came in (although it wasn`t half as good as L vs Light) it became a little better because it sorta became Ganius vs Genius again (only real stupid).

Btw, when you say "beyond 21 is unwatchable" do you mean you haven`t watch 21 to 37 yet?

Post by: Ghost_Aspergers on October 23, 2007, 04:14:05 am
Ofcoarse I watched the entire series. And I didn't say Light+L was good. All I said was that it was unwatchable after 21. Why? Because L was all the series had going for it that that point. Light's character was already exhausted as a source of interest... and that left me with little reason to keep going. That didn't stop me from watching the series (same went for Naruto/Bleach/ etc) but the fact remains... as a person who liked where it was going yet considers it a massive failure (like the original Hellsing)... most of the series is simply unwatchable.

So true...

It would seriously kick ass if they made ep 15-2 where and just continue until 37-2. In the entire series Light would "fight" L and the one that dies is only reveled at ep 37-2 and make it that both can win.

That would kick all ass!

Yeah, Death Note's English voices have actually really impressed me. I especially like L's. But then, I love everything about L. I wish the whole series were about L instead of Light. Maybe "The Adventures of L and Ryuk." Yeah. That'd be fun.

Anyway, they definitely all seem to fit in with the show's aesthetic, of being dark and gloomy without being particularly emo (at least compared to a lot of what else is out there). An oppressive atomsphere, I suppose, is the word I'm looking for. And Light comes off as a cocky asshole who needs a good killing, and every word he says confirms that's exactly what he is.

Really, the only complaints I can see coming is that they don't match with the Japanese series (which I haven't seen, so I have no idea if that's true). But if that's the case, I would guess that the English voices are, if anything, more appropriate. I've definitely heard that said about L.

Its anime (=japanese drawn series) it's only good with the original japanese voices, I listened to the english L voices and goddammit thats just gay. He sounds like a 50 year old bitch while actually hes supposed to be like 20 or something.

Dang this is the most pompous shit ever.  I'm all for listening to the Japanese voices when it's an option, and that's what I prefer, but that doesn't mean I go "AND IF YOU PREFER THE ENGLISH VOICES YOU ARE WRONG". 

The beauty of animation is that you CAN change the voices.  Look at the Lion King--you can watch it in almost any language and it's just as good.  Even though there are several series that do have terrible English voice acting, it is just plain stupid to say that anime is ONLY good with English voices.

Dude its just that those english bitches who do the voices

1. Have no idea what anime is all about and somehow manage to destroy the entire feeling of the series
2. They read everything up from a paper. At least the Japanese voice actors say everything out of the head.

@ The guy above me: Chek your ears plix

Edit: Quote episode 5 english dub by L: Mister Matsuda its okay to turn on your phone right now actually please turn it on right away. This is exactly what I fucking mean. Theres no feeling in it, it's just toneless without even just commas. They sound like a bitch commanding their sex slaves. Go listen to it and compare it to the japanese voices and you know Im right. L's english voice is WAY too heavy he's supposed to sound like a weirdo and he sounds like a married guy. Als Ryuk's voice, that's just way too "demonic" and heavy again. Ryuk had a pretty high voice. Light. Light sounds like a total nerd and again talks without any feeling at all. "I am the son of superintendent Yagami I dont want them to say he went in the hospital and criminals stopped dying oh yeah by the way I am a bitch". No really, I actually though he was gonna say that.

I could go on for hours but people who've seen the english voices before the japanese will never get my point.

Ok, so you expect the people who disagree with you to do the work to prove themselves wrong? First off, what do you think is the likelihood that anyone would actually do that? By not doing the work of providing links for objective comparison yourself, it makes me think you are afraid someone would actually go listen to it and then still disagree with you. By making them go through the trouble of looking it up, you can gurantee that noone will do it, and that if they disagree with you it's because they are ignorant and not because people can actually have different opinions!
Second, the fact that you are lazy enough to issue this challenge and not do the work yourself to back up your claims shows to me that you are generally a lazy person. Now answer me this, what do you think is a cause of the "apparent" lack in quality and diversity in dubbed anime voices today? I am quite postive an argument can be made that some of the people in charge of casting english voices for anime is lazy, and therefore not dedicated to expressing "what anime is really about". Now given that it has been proven that you in fact are a lazy person, it would suffice to say that if the person who caused dubbed anime voices to be so bad was replaced by you, you would do the exact same thing he did to make the english voices so bad in the first place!

In fact, I am generally sick of this whole "holier than thou" additude anime fans have. The truth is that if anime was that fucking great, it wouldn't depend so heavily on the quality of the voice actors in the first place! If anime was the true zenith of animation, then you could watch it muted, and still find it fucking awesome! Go look up some real cartoons that are dubbed in other languages (I suggest some directed by Bob Clampett, or at least Chuck Jones) and you will see what I mean. (please take note on how the phrase "see what I mean" is a lot better way of putting it than "know that I'm right", in that it doesn't make you sound like an arrogant asshat)
Title: Death Note to air October 20 at midnight on Adult Swim
Post by: TimeCrash on December 11, 2007, 06:33:20 pm
I can see you know absolutely nothing about anime.

First off to rule out your first issue:

English dub Death Note episode 8 (wow even the link to the website of your disastrous channel is on there)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=omaw6ormRF8

And you can download the japanese episodes here:

www.deathfan.com

Secondly,

Yes I am very very lazy. Good job, you've just proven I would absolutely suck as a anime voice actor. In which you're right, because I'm dutch. So unless they'll ever make a dutch dub, I won't be chosen for that. Also I never said voice actors are lazy, I said they have no feeling for what anime really means.

Thirdly, anime is so awesome because it's japanese, but guys like you will never understand it. A guy like you that compares anime to cartoons is 1000 years too early to discuss anime with me.

Goodbye.

PS: Sorry but I had to post this rofl idiot quote from the english dub.

Yagami Souchiro discussing the cameras with L:

"And make sure you install them everywhere. I dont want any blind spots in the house and that includes the bathroom."

L (on a tone that almost sounds perverted): "Thank you very much, that was my intention."

Seriously! Are we discussing a murderer case here or a porn movie? Damn.

If you understand anime, then enlighten us on what it is about. If you cant teach it, then you don't understand it. You don't even have to suceed at getting us to understand it, you just have to try. Just say what you know about the nature of anime that we don't know. The source of your enlightened state on the matter, even if it goes completely over our heads.

I mean, it HAS to be about more than being Japanese, because I already know it's Japanese, and you just said it'd take me 1000 years to reach your level of understanding.

But you are right, you just can't compare anime to cartoons. Cartoons are on such a higher level that comparing the two is not only insulting, but the main reason why todays cartoons are complete trash. I could explain it to you, and try to post examples of cartoons to observe and help you understand why their realm is the one that contains the greatest examples of animation superiority known to man, but it'd take you 1000 years to reach that level of understanding. And unlike you, I'm not exaggerating when I use that number.
Title: Death Note to air October 20 at midnight on Adult Swim
Post by: TimeCrash on December 11, 2007, 07:35:07 pm
It's not about the animation or about how nice it looks. It's about a story the creator is trying to tell you.

Naruto.

Oh goddamm more fillers oh plix no no fillers plix. Jeez, stfu. What Naruto is about is a kid that was cursed with a demon inside him and have no friends. Until he finally finds someone to bind with, someone that feels like a brother too him. But that boy has his own goals and even though he has to leave his best friend, he has to live up to it. The other boy is now on a lifelong journey to restore the only real bond he ever had.

Chrono Crusade.

Www.wikipedia.com for a story summar, this anime can't be explained in few words. But I'll tell you that I cried at the ending, just because it was so beautiful and emotional. I never cried when watching a cartoon.


Cartoons are just pieces of entertainment with the only goal to make people laugh. Sure South Park and Family Guy are funny as hell, but that can't be compared to anime because anime is not about humor and cartoons are.

Cartoons have no depth. It's just plain entertainment wich is probably not a bad thing. There's no story in it and every episode is full of random happenings. This is the exact opposite to anime.

Anime is great because the main characters live up to their dreams and because it's shown so beautifully. Anime is great because it makes you laugh and cry.

Watch this episode and maybe you'll know what I mean. Even people new to anime but with a bit of fantasy will love this episode. It can't be described, you just have to watch it.

Cartoons are pieces of entertainment, so are anime. Not all cartoons try to make people laugh, apparently you missed out on alot, perhaps your place of residence has condensed your animation consumage?

I don't have a whole lot to say, just that you need to rethink your life. I used to be like you years ago, but I grew out of it.

Heh, I compare stuff like Looney Tunes and Betty Boop and stuff like South Park and Family Guy like they are different things.

In fact, I put family guy and south park in the same boat as anime, in that it's just moving pictures put to clever writing. The fact that it is animated adds nothing to the entertainment value of the show, and in the end is just like comic books/manga, only lazier.

It's so rampant and bad, you remember cartoons that actually use movement as a medium (such as looney tunes) in terms of the bland animation rampant on today's networks and falsely assume that because the writing is shallow, such cartoons offer no entertainment value in today's society.

It's a shame.

The only side the moderators are picking is the one that is keeping you from hijacking this thread. This isn't a dumb subs vs. dubs/anime vs. cartoons debate nor is this 4chan. You can't just come into whatever thread you feel like and start stirring shit up.

Anyway this channel is darn shame. Everone who watches a anime for the first time on this channel immediately gets a bad impression because of the fucked voices. Really a shame. And if you think the voices are good, you are an idiot

This was my opinion about this show airing on your channel, wich was the point of this thread. It can't be helped if people are going to reply on it and take it seriously. I expressed my opinion in this post, although I admit I gone a bit too far with "And if you think the voices are good, you are an idiot", but giving me 2 warnings for this is a bit out of order, since I was not the one who started this thing.

Well like I said this discussion is over. You can go on discussing the english Death Note dub now.

You got 1 warning for this btw. Also you were the only one with warn-able qualities in your post, just ARGUING is fine as long as you aren't flaming/elitist/being ignorant/etc.

Man I'm not a total anime fag by any means (watched like four series from beginning to end ever) but those voices aren't even bad. From what I watched of that link L sounds like a 20 year old english guy, that is what we sound like (I must sound like a "50 year old bitch"???) self-righteous little prick.

For flaming me I feel a need to reply to your post yet again. If you sound like that, that's fine, but like I mentioned before that's not how anime's supposed to sound.

Please do make sure you compare the voices. I'm sure you'll find the japanese better. Although maybe not, since you're american yourself.

Usually you like the voices you hear first, you get used to it. Of course, I prefer the Japanese voices right now because I'm used to how Light sounds - But since I don't know Japanese it's easy to miss whether the acting is good or not. In English you can clearly here if someone says a line badly unlike in Japanese (unless you know the language).

TimeCrash, you act like a total nerd to be honest, it almost feels like we have disturbed your holy anime. Please master... teach us.

man okay, you're just totally fucking ridiculous

What do you mean anime is not supposed to sound like that? The character is a 20 year old slightly eccentric dude brought up in England. So a youngish english voice will probably fit????????

Maybe Japanese is just a language..... maybe anime is just a fucking medium and it's the content that's important?

I also like that because you said "the voices are good they fit" and nothing at all about him, you were flaming him somehow.

Oh damn, at times I forget I'm actually a mod here since it's been so quiet. Thanks for JUMPING AT THE CALL for me NP.

Anyways this thread really went down the drain. Chances are it might still be able to be recovered but I just don't think it's worth this cancerous second page anymore so locked
