How many of you watch anime that's NOT on Cartoon Network?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Animes : One Thread

This should be interesting.

*Raises hand*

I'm proud to say that I'm Cartoon Network free. I'm allergic to crappy dubbing (Examples: DBZ[Sucks anyway], Trigun[Which rules in Japanese], Rurouni Kenshin[Same as Trigun], Gundam Wing[Mediocre compared to other Gundam sagas], G Gundam[A joke compared to other Gundam sagas] and Inuyasha[Was kickass before CN got done with it, still kicks ass in Japan with over 120 episodes and still going strong]), so I'm allergic to Adult Swim/Toonami.

And don't bother flaming me unless you're going to take your time (Proper spelling, punctuation, capitalization). If you aren't going to spend time on your post, I'm not going to spend time reading it.

Well I don't know Japanese so I can't really watch any animes in Japanese(Wish I could). The animes that you have named are pretty good to me, though they are most likely better in japanese. I don't know of any other place to watch anime, if I did I most sertanly would agree with you...^^

Well, since I don't know Japanese either, fansubs are the way to go.

I don't watch Adult Swim/Toonami hardly at all anymore. When I do it's more or less because there's nothing else to watch or do. I'm proud to say I saw the light and now I stick to fansubs. ^_^

Your hella dumb DBZ was the best anime for a long time. And i can see you haven't seen kenshin if you think it's anything like trigun. I've watch a lot anime and most of it is awsome. But I don't mind watching anything on Toonami or adult swim. I think your retarded because I can tell, you haven't seen kenshin or trigun which are both hella tight. So don't talk shit about stuff if you haven't seen. And plus you don't have to seem like such an asshole. Well peace out.

Wow, you like dubbed DBZ. Anything you say from now on is completely void and pointless to answer to. But hey, since I'm a nice guy, I'll respond anyway.

1. Learn to read messages correctly. I said Trigun rules. I said Kenshin is the same. That means Kenshin also rules, dumbass.

2. Your insults suck. You can tell I'm retarded? Very original and painful insult, it goes right up there with "You're gay" and "You have no life".

3. Don't make assumptions. Do you have some sort of psychic ability that allows you to dive in my mind to find out if I've seen an anime or not? Wow! Oh... wait. You don't. You've just made yourself look like more of an idiot.

For a guy who likes dubbed DBZ, you sure like to sound like an anime expert. And kid, don't say things like "Peace out". It doesn't help your argument any.

Wait a minute. I'm an asshole?

Does anyone else smell a hypocrite around here? Oh yeah, it's that guy who 'knows' that I'm retarded and I've never seen Trigun or Kenshin.

i never said i could read minds fag and dbz is a great show i must admit though the dubb does suck big donkey balls just like you anyway for your information i am an anime expert unlike you you stupid wannabe otaku well now if yall excuse me i have a life to get back to unlike some people i know who stay on there computers and fuck their fathers all day long peace out you fag!

Hey, KyOkAzUmA. How old are you like... 8, cause you sure dont act any older than that. What's your problem anyway he is intitled to his opinion, you dont have to go and insult him. Calling him names and getting so worked up about it just shows that your are really immature. Oh by the way, if you know anything about japanese, to be an otaku, would be an insult. Your a fool if you think your an anime expert, there are 100's of animes out there.

Sorry Seiko, I had to set him straight ^_^ Anyway, I don't watch Toonami, DBZ isn't that bad of a show, it was my first anime(like most people) but,now I have seen lots of other animes and I would say there is a lot better than that. Dubbing does take something away from the animes when you watch them tho. I watch; Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, Love Hina(not my fav but it was alright) Fushigi Yuugi, Ah! My Goddess, Inuyasha, and Trigun; all of them subbed of course. Im still looking for good anime, I was wondering if you knew any good ones?

I watch Digicharat,Inuyasha,Ranma1/2,Chobits,Evangelion and stuff all in japanese with dubs.I still watch Cartoon Network but I agree with um the person that posted this that when they edited it-They really messed it up big time.

lol, i dont have cartoon network! all the anime ive seen is either in spain in catalan/spanish, on video (which i bought) or i/someone downloaded off the internet.

spanish tend to good dubs so i dont mind watching it in japanese, but anime is always better subbed

Downloads only for me. But I have to admit that I like dubbed anime just as much as subbed. But sadly for me, its harder to find as a download. Oh, and B.T.W.: GUNDAM WING KICKS ASS!

-- Anonymous, July 23, 2003

I watch anime on TV dubbed and download it subbed.

-- Anonymous, July 23, 2003


I do whatch them on Adult swim,but i try to avoid Toonami.I only watch Kikaider and lupin, I don't care to get Kikaider and i can't find lupin. I have the Trigun box set and the Tenchi Muyo box set. If someone knew where to get some lupin episodes,that would be helpfull.

i watch tons of animes that are not on cartoon network, tech. tv, international channel, beyond channel to name a few, carton network should stop butchering the animes they have^__^

This is to the loser who said the original poster is retarded: Shove it up your only holey place moron!!! Anime is a lot better subbed than dubbed in English. And Craptoon Network STILL sucks!!!!

I think Serena pretty much kicked your ass already, I'm not going to kick a dead horse.

Deathscythe, how many Gundam series have you seen? If it's just Wing, God, and a bunch of dubbed OVAs, then you're not worth listening to.

Watch the original. Or Zeta. Honestly.

-- Anonymous, July 23, 2003


All the anime I watch is subbed that I buy on DVD. When i don't have any money then I download episodes until I do have money. Oh and anime on Toonami and Adult Swim does suck. They take out some parts and ommit some episodes entirely, like Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball, etc. I am also proud to say I'm Cartoonetwork Free.

Oh one thing, I did like the dubbed episodes of Cowboy Bebop on Cartoonetwork. I still watch them subbed, but I think the dubbing was done exceptionally well for Cowboy Bebop.

-- Anonymous, July 23, 2003


I don't watch it cause I don't have cable. I have seen Bebop before and nadesico before they threw it on there. Mabey a few others. I dunno, I don't have it. Did you know that they are bringing Furi Kuri to Adult swim? It makes me cry! They ruind Mammimi's whole charater with that dubed voice! *crys

i think my fave gundam series at the mo is 08ms team - that is one kick ass series.

-- Anonymous, July 23, 2003

Ive seen a bit of everything Gundam, honest. I couldnt tell you the names of many characters in some of the more remote series', but i know what intrigued me out of the series i watched, and when i saw GW I decided i wanted to watch the whole series. I do agree with the G Gundam is crap stuff. It is. My little bro watches it and it is terribly uniteresting. Im into the mecha and the stories in gundam, that's all i really care about. Do you know of any places i could find other episodes of diff. gundam sagas so that my opinions arent totally based on like 1 episode of each? Because i will admit i make mistakes and bad assumptions.

So are you saying it's just Cartoon Network that screws the animes up or that even when released on dvd its still in a sense edited when its subbed into english?

-- Anonymous, July 23, 2003

No, I'm saying that 9/10 times an anime arrives on CN, it's been butchered due to editing and poor dubbing, due to a dubbing studio.

-- Anonymous, July 23, 2003

I'm not cartoon network free, i know that they're butchered but its free. I don't have unlimited money to buy dvds (but i buy as much as i can) and my computer doesn't download that fast. A 200 mb episode will take me three nonstop days to download. Sometimes it isn't just worth it. I say that i do infact watch toonami and adult swim. Don't get me wrong i've seen rurouni kenshin and inuyasha in japanese and i've loved it. Other animes include d.n. angel, wolf's rain, neo gensis evanligion, hikaru no go, fuushi yugi, shaman king, naruto, chobits, and all of the gundam series 'xcept zeta. And sorry for any grammer/spelling errors. I can't help it.

I got to admit i do watch AS but not toonami or what ever its called. but i did start to watch alot of animes that i didnt c on eaither of them

gundam wing SUX, the worst character design ever. i watched the up to episodes 30, i kept watching that far coz i wanted to see heero and relena died.

trigun SUX, i dont like wimpy hero. what he does is cry all the time, and get innocent people killed.

kenshin is great, but only up to kyoto series, anything up to that point = SUX !

inu yasha is way too long, but thats rumiko takeshi style. most of her anime is over 100 episodes. i stopped watching at 50s coz the plot becomes more repetitive to me and the plot development is so slowwww. maybe i am biased as well since i dont like depressing and long anime

dbz anime sux regardless is sub or dub. akira toriyama is not a good anime director, though his manga is very godly. noticed that you watch the movies, you have to wait like 5-8 second everytime before they speak or fight. i could get old watching this one. also, they tend to put lots of crappy scenes that arent in the manga, which makes it even worse. but dont get me wrong though, i am akira toriyama fans. i love all of his manga : dragon ball, dbz, and dr.slump.

cartoon network sux, i hate cartoon network. i watch all my animes from internet download. so far i like scrapped princess, last exile, stellvia, naruto and wolfs rain.

flame me anyway u want, this is my opinion.

real long don't you think?

-- Anonymous, July 24, 2003

Man, you must be good to get this many hits. Any way ya CN animes are no were near as good as the real thing. But if your desperate you can watch them. I love watching all animes, dubbed or not, and especially like anime movies. The plot lines are so rich and vibrant that its very exhilarating to watch them. I just recently saw blue seed and am now working on finishing that serious. I like DB a lot more than DBZ and love FMV's. Ok im done talking, email me if you want to chat. Im pretty good when it comes to knowledge of animes. Ok...Whatever...Bye
