Anime in Jap. on the computer with English subs(and actually watching the whole series) or the ones on TV with bad quality and English dubs(and watching like...one episode and just recalling it)? >_<* *thinking hard*...on TV...I remember watching a show about Gundam, where the people have to go through this plastic thing to get a suit on and get to the control center of the Gundam...gosh, that was a really weird episode I watched XD...I think I was like...4 Lolz. But the one episode that I watched that I remember really clearly was a Rurouni Kenshin episode...it was the ep. when
Rurouni met a guy that said he was going to regain his old samurai killing going berserk blood thing? And the girl with black hair gave him her favorite ribbon...he goes into a battle...doesn't go berserk...but gets her ribbon soaked in blood XD, which did not have very good consequences
Anyways, the first anime I watched on the computer in Jap., with subtitles, that I am up to date on is NarutoXD.

May 8th, 2009, 10:02 pm
XD I forgot those were anime. Although I'm pretty sure I only watched the Digimon movies...Digimon was good...but you can't find them anywhere online in Jap. with English subs...I want to rewatch it...:sob:...Pokemon was pretty good too...I wonder what it sounds like in Jap XD. Although the new version they have now sucks...:P Although that really doesn't matter to me cuz I don't watch TV...

I used to be really into digimon but then when they started the whole digimon spirits thing I kind of quit it there
I remember agumon and patamon
and my fav was gatomon

RainingSilver64

Pokemon on Cheese TV! Does anyone remember Cheese TV! My big brother used to wake me up at 6 o'clock and we watched Pokemon and the rest. I used to think that Digimon was a bad remake of pokemon but I still watched it. I would still watch it but I just don't have the time.

There are girls in my class that don't know the difference between chalk and cheese so there are only a few people in there that knows what anime is.

Honestly, I think it was DBZ. Or Yu Yu Hakusho.

Oldschool Toonami, before the robot-host switch. Used to run home from elementary school and plop on the floor to watch them with the little brother. I don't miss the month-long battles in the Dragonball series. Cell was just friggin ridiculous.

Dragon Ball Z :P Ahh the nostalgic memories of the best episode ever, "Freezer Defeated"

RainingSilver64
May 22nd, 2009, 01:03 am
XD A lot can happen in two days.
LOLZ. I remember Dragon Ball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho. I would watch Dragon Ball Z time to time but I don't remember much about Yu Yu Hakusho...XD I used to watch them on TV with English Dubs...XD It's funny how even before I knew a thing about anime in Japanese I didn't like English Dubs...

Kevin Penkin
May 22nd, 2009, 06:12 am
The first time I heard the Jap dubs for DBZ (started on the English) I thought someone has sped up the playback on the TV haha. It was really weird. I find that if I start something in English, I can't switch to Japanese because it would be too weird. I would now identify the voice with the character. Same with Japanese couldn't switch to English, ever. I think I'm cured to watch Howls Moving Castle in English forever.. lol

May 23rd, 2009, 01:44 am
>.< I was almost bound to watching InuYasha in English...gosh, I'm glad I didn't do that. XD I sometimes rewatch the series(except now some of the eps. are messed up <_<) and some start off in English if I forget to change the language setting...gosh Sesshomaru and Jaken..and Kohaku...mostly, anyways, sound really...really...*tries really hard to think of words other than bad and stupid(small vocabulary :heh:)*...gaah! I give up! They sound really bad and stupid...

chelseamay95

which was awsome XD

>.< Awesome that you got it for a really low price but it was in English :(?
:heh: Sorry if I go a bit overboard with the "it must be in Japanese" thing, but it really does sound a lot better in Japanese. :sweat: I'm a bit stubborn(like I'm not already XD) when it comes to this topic...

KidFlash
May 25th, 2009, 05:15 pm
I'm not really so sure since it was a long time ago. It was either pokemon, sailor moon, speed racer, or maybe dragon ball Z.

XD Lolz, same here. When I first started watching anime 4 years ago I watched the first few things(Naruto, Inuyasha, etc.) in English. I had no idea what my brother was so upset about. Lolz, he made me re-watch every series in Japanese...but by then I had gotten the point :D...

Sailor Moon

DragonBall Z ( what does the Z stand for anyway?)
Yu Yu Hakusho
Pokemon

THANK YOU!!! Finally someone says it! How does it take like 20 eps to do one fight. What happened on the last ep of dbz? Same thing with gt? The series endings never made any sense to me.

Lolz, my bro used to make fun of that all the time. :think: I wonder how I forgot to mention that...XD Roflz, Episode 1 of fight: charging up the attack; "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!",
Episode 2-19: Still charging; "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!",
Episode 20: Attack!(Finally!); "Ha!"...*viewers*: Woooooooooooooooooooow...
Lolz, or that was his interpretation of it anyways :P.

August 5th, 2009, 04:56 pm
i remember that game! for gba right? that was the first time i heard moonlight sonata. and when i heard it again, i thought they were copying hamtaro!! haha, childhood :)

oh sorry that was off topic >_<

I remember flipping through the channels as a wee lass, looking for something to watch, and I stopped on "Card Captor Sakura" for a minute... but I didn't know what was going on, so I kept going through my channel surfing. It took me another six years to actually find out what the show was and what it was about!!

I never ended up watching DBZ... for the same reasons it's being made fun of right now!! XD (IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!)

What's amazing about it, is the first anime I ever watched was Naruto, it was the english dub on toonami in 2006 I think. What's neat is it made me interested in japan and I started learning japanese and eventually 3 or 4 years ago I started playing piano and basically music has become half my life. Neat huh?

アニメは音楽に興味が咲いた。  I'm not sure If that's correct but it's supposed to say "Anime made me an interest in music."
