  1. Levi from Shingeki no Kyojin or Saitama from One Punch Man. I really don't get the hype around these characters.
  2. Subbed for me, but I have watched a lot of dubbed ones in the past, too. And yes, there are a few anime I just can't stand in Japanese and I prefer the dub in a few cases. Clearly not every anime has good Japanese voice acting.
  3. Have you seen kaichou wa maid-sama?
  4. That's your opinion and I won't judge you for it. This is a free country after all. Again, the series is not as well-known or even liked in the West as it is in Japan and the translation definitely differs from the original. In Japanese it's really more of a typical kids show, whereas the English version adds more adult humor to it.
  5. You're right on that one. I also believe that many, who are not familiar with its source material, are gonna enjoy this movie a lot. I highly assume that this is what the producers were aiming to do, reaching an audience who are not that familiar with anime.
  6. Yep, making her Japanese would've been even better. But knowing Hollywood, they wouldn't have cast a Japanese actress for the role. Maybe Rinko Kikuchi, but that's about it. Remember when the main female cast of Memoirs of a Geisha were Chinese actresses? As long as it sells well, they don't care about casting what we would believe to be the right choice. Scarlett Johansson is a well-known actress in the west (mostly due to her looks, which aren't THAT great imo) and of course with a famous actress in the leading role, they're practically assuming that it'll be a hit anyways and also aim for those not familiar with the franchise.
  7. I don't think it's that bad. The Funimation version butchered it, though... It's fairly liked in Japan and it IS a kids show, let's be fair. Nothing can be ever as bad as Eiken or Pupa.
  8. Back to topic, I really don't understand why they cast Scarlett Johansson in the first place, but okay. She does not fit the role at all imo. Way to americanize another anime movie that was perfectly fine the way it was. The character's name is clearly known as Motoko Kusanagi and not entirely referred to as Major, so yeah, an Asian would be better for the role.
  9. I don't know if you ever heard of Eiken, but if you want to see something bad go check it out. HOTD and SAO don't even come close to the awfulness that is Eiken. You're referring to the Funimation dub or the original Japanese version?
  10. I DON'T think she's bad at all? I praised her? I'm female, thank you.
  11. I don't know if that band will suit your taste, but maybe you can check out coldrain. If you haven't heard of them already, of course.
  12. Back in my days where I actually liked Naruto, I didn't find Sakura to be that horrible as the majority of the people believe her to be. Kishimoto clearly does not know how to write good female characters, but she good some development throughout the series. She had to work hard for goals and whether you like her character or not, you have to admit for what she's achieved, she clearly deserves some respect.
  13. Totally agree on that one. Definitely one of my favorites as well. On top of that, the music is the best I've probably heard in any anime so far. Yoko Kanno's work is phenomenal. Also, this is one of the few anime where the dub is superior to the original and this rarely happens imo.
  14. lang-8.com is also a great study method, I agree. But keep in mind that you also need a basic level in Japanese. To know some Kanji does come in handy. Only use this website if you know some Japanese already.
  15. I enjoy Netflix way more than hulu. Its $9.99 plan gives you more options than hulu’s $7.99 plan, while also offering users a comparable plan for the same price as hulu.
