The return of Pokey's anime and manga rantage
Oh, so that's what the [I]Shonen Jump Alpha[/I] thing is that keeps on popping up in the ads on the top of the pages here. It's kind of sad that there's that much of a delay, especially when you have to pay for the service... Not to mention that there's a location restriction, which IMO is unfair to manga fans residing outside of the U.S. Possibly due to certain issues with manga rights and all, but still...
I'm more of an English-dub-voice fan. I've had very few issues with English anime voice actors...Bald's English voice actor from the 2003 [I]Fullmetal Alchemist[/I] anime, Jacuzzi's English voice actor from [I]Baccano![/I], and Wolverine's English voice actor from [I]Marvel Anime: Wolverine[/I] are the only issues I've had, with the FMA example only being a [I]slight[/I] issue compared to the other two. Other than that, most English voice actors seem to do good-quality jobs, IMO.
I can't really vouch for any Japanese voice actors, as I'm not fluent in Japanese and hardly watch any subbed anime...although IMO, it's rare for me to hear "distinct/unique" voices when I watch subbed anime; it feels like many of them sound the same despite the characters likely having [I]different[/I] Japanese voice actors...Posted February 13th, 2012 at 9:55 AM by fenyx4

The return of Pokey's anime and manga rantage
Fanlating is honestly probably one of the things that has helped the industry flourish as well as it has. Just like I posted on the Mangastream Facebook post about it: All VIZ is doing is hurting the industry more, and thereby, also hurting themselves. Especially with their more obscure licensed series. Sad thing is, what's probably gonna happen, is they're gonna push it so far and never take the blame for their failures themselves until they realize "Oh hey. Maybe they're not the major problem. Maybe we just suck at efficiency and have just pissed them off more and that's what killed us." Even then though, doubt it'll happen. No one in capitalism takes the blame or acknowledges their own mistakes anymore it seems =/
Also: as far as subbing/dubbing goes, both sides suck from time to time. I tend to honestly like the English dubs more though, tbh. Save for my favorite series, funnily enough.Posted February 11th, 2012 at 6:02 PM by Riku

Shoddy voice acting holds dominant on the Japanese side of the industry as well. At least in my experience.Posted February 11th, 2012 at 4:44 PM by donavannj

Moe maids? Oh noes!
I found it interesting. Will probably finish the series, knowing me. xD
And Kevin, if it wasn't for the occasional Kamina's shades-edit, I would have forgotten the PhotoShop basics ages ago :BPosted April 8th, 2011 at 10:25 AM by Pokestick, good times.

What's up with people automatically associating the phrase "Who the hell do you think I am?" and such phrases with Kamina?Posted April 5th, 2011 at 5:51 PM by jigglyppuff8

Didn't like that first episode too much. Part of it is the Aoi Nishimata same face syndrome. A lot of the rest is the Navel same character personality syndrome.Posted April 5th, 2011 at 12:36 PM by digi-kun
