Just a random, middle-class white dude with a lifelong love of cartoons and comic books and (more recently) an obsessed Anime and Manga enthusiast.
I stand firmly against English dubs...from poor choices of editing to badly directed voice actors to blatent censorship. Until I become fluent in the Japanese language, Fansubs are the only way to go for me.
Please drop by my site, http://otakujuden.com for reviews on current anime and check out my artwork. Let me know what you think. Good or bad, I want to know.
I also have a YouTube channel where I have posted some of my favorite OP's and ED's. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/user/stealthmome

opinions are good! always say what you think!! :-) the only bad part about gurren laggann is there's not alot of other anime like it! and it's a good anime to watch after coming off something like elfin lied, the same with strike witches... sometimes you need a good dose of light heartedness! oh i cant stand fun-imation dubs!!.. or most dubs anymore, the japanese actors put alot more feeling into there voicework and fansubbers love what they are doing, so the whole package is better!
(lol i was going to ask if it was alright to add you so i could read your reviews when you do them, but you got ahead of me:-) thanks for the add!!)
thanks and i was just wondering because i played the DS version which was pretty fun
*note to self: dont ever try to play a text heavy strategy game without looking at a gameplay vid first if its Japan only
Well, first of all, I'm sorry that I'm late to reply....
I don't like to say that, I'm not really fast in reading english (being not my native language)... But I'm used to listen to it and can understand most of the talkies in the anime (actually they have many common dialogues+words)....
If I have watched subs then I would have to pause every now and then to read the lines which makes and 22min epsode upto 30mins long or more depending how fast they are speaking i.e. if it's a comedy, then subs make it painful to watch (for me) and what vocabulary they are using (if the word is unfamilier it breaks the flow of dubs too... in that case I just turn on the sub and see what word they are spelling)...
I hope that helps your research
Thanks!
I took a lolok at your site- might want to put up some reveiws since you said there are some here on your Anime-Planet profile. lol. But, I like it, simple, easy to follow design, and you have pictures! Everyone loves pictures!
I can tell you really like Strike Witches- I have yet to finish actually watching it...lol I am about halfway- but I'm watching so many at the same time that sometimes it's hard to switch back, you know?
And yeah, screw dubs.
Konnichiwa!
very true, and i live in ireland.... so its not just america! mothers and creepy old spinsters all over the world (except japan, apparently) would just love to dress us in gray and place us in protective bubbles, "to save us fro ourselves"!! :-)
