Finished Phantom, and I have to say I really enjoyed it to the end. After a little bit of time watching Ghost Stories I moved onto Solty Rei, since I heard that it's very similar to Heat Guy J which I really enjoyed. It's kinda funny cause this is basically the same show wrapped in a different skin. Of course in terms of our character story, its different, but in terms of everything in the world it's kind of ridiculous how similar they are. So far I'd say Heat Guy J did a better job with this "human android buddy cop" show but it might change as I finish the show

I got my first tooth fillings today. My mouth hurts lol. Other than that I sat at home and watched some boring old TV and played some videogames. Nothing too special. My life has been rather uneventful lately.

Anime is for people of all ages! Your tastes and preferences may change, but you're more than allowed to like whatever you do! Personally, I watch a lot of 20th century anime that came out before I was even born. Even if I am a early 2000's kid I love anime all the same. You just refine your tastes and interests. Some of the anime I thought was very cool when I was much younger, now I dont like so much, and the same may even happen with what I like now. It's about enjoying a medium that brings us all joy and peace. Regardless of what anyone else thinks!

reading through Princess Evangile. I remember it vaguely from back when Lost Pause did anime game/vn read throughs on his channel (which was some time ago!) I certainly love all the characters the same, however simple they are. It brings back good memories of being absolutely obsessed with Visual Novels when I was very young!

I am very tired. I have been working all day, every day for the past week and I have to keep this up for 2 more weeks. Hopefully I can pull through!

Started Watching Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom not too long ago. It's a fairly good series, certainly enjoy it. I need to make more time for watching shows tho. lately I've been working

It's the original, didn't even know there was a remake lol

Agreed, some shows wouldn't be the same if it weren't for their dubs.

Started Kino's Journey a few days ago (I get it's short I just take a long time to finish shows) I've been liking it so far, it's definitely a good watch after a long day at work.

I always like this question, there are the two sides to it who always have their more vocal advocates on other parts on the internet. When in reality most people don't care. I'd say more newcomers to anime prefer dubs, but that's because anime is becoming more mainstream for younger people. The fact is that there is no real answer to this, some subs are better, some dubs are better. It's really a subjective thing entirely. I personally prefer to watch subbed, but I always give the dub a chance unless it's not available. Subs usually just have a different feel to them, it's an entirely different experience than most subs. However there are some absolutely great dubs out there, some of them beat the subs out of the water.

I used to like it alot as a kid. I watched alot of the show, up until around gen 5 (idk what it was called probably Black & White like the games) As for the games G5 is my favorite, I still play it and some of the Ranger games today. I really stopped liking the games after gen 6. Perhaps I just grew up but I just lost any of the interest in the series as a whole. Moved onto YuGiOh in High School, I mostly like the card game and have a mild interest in the show. I just watch it on Tubi whenever I'm not watching anything interesting.

Got home super late, but I wasn't quite ready for bed so I started up the 95 Slayers, I'm only 2 episodes in but It's a petty fun and funny show, definetly will be watching more throughout the week !

[Spoilers] As I said a few days ago I picked up Cosmo Warrior Zero, and I have to say there is really nothing redeemable about this show. I was hoping that the "big epic space battle" at the end would have some kind of redeemable quality but it was a big letdown. The plot of this show is a complete mess, and feels like a much longer anime that was chopped up into smaller "important" pieces. With unexpected twists and turns in all the wrong places, the loosely connected plot turns into spaghetti within the last 7 or so episodes. Character arcs are started and fulfilled mid episode, a romance forms out of nowhere, and absolutely nothing is satisfying. Zeth Vorder one of the main "villains" aboard the Hellcastle is dead set on destroying Zero and the Karyu in the final fight. Why exactly? I'm not sure, Zero has basically done nothing the entire series and should be seen as more of a sore under the machine mens thumb than it's greatest threat. The only reason I can come up with is because he's supposed to be a super important and cool character, and the Karyu is supposed to be the best ship in the galaxy but neither make the cut. They try and explain this with "they hate us because we love eachother" type excuse but even that is a poor excuse. Overall this anime stinks, I don't really like to say that because I was kinda excited for this, but it really does. Gets a 3/10 from me (extremely harsh but it left a sour taste in my mouth.) A story that pins an upcoming captain against the legendary Captain Harlock seems like an amazing concept but it was very poorly executed. In fact that isn't what this show is even about despite what the synopsis might tell you, Zero and his misfit crew just sort of shadow Harlock and form an uneasy alliance with him.

I usually prefer subs, but if I always give the dub a chance. I try not to be hardcore on subs but most the time I just prefer them. I do find it mildly annoying if I have to pause to read a whole wall of text, but those moments are few and far between imo.

Picked up Cosmo Warrior Zero today it's been sitting on my shelf for a while, and I'm a huge Captain Harlock fan! So of course I'm here to tell you how awesome it was right? I of course was woefully disappointed when I put it in. It has all the pieces of a good show and it falls flat on it's face. I rushed through 7 episodes (mostly because I'm sick and stuck in my room) the only good writing in this show is shockingly the episode previews. I'll get done with a episode, and think "wow that was something... I think I'll rest and let that bad taste out of my mouth" only for the episode preview to promise me a good episode next time and I think "Well I cant stop on that sour note" and fall for the oldest trick in the book lol. Either way I'm going to finish this tomorrow, because I spent like 20 dollars on the dvd a year or so ago and I'm already halfway through so I might as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Had to take a short break from watching anime due to life but I finished up cowboy bebop, definitely liked it, I'd say it's a classic for a reason, but yeah it's also not the greatest anime of all time or "peak anime" It was fun and cool and that's about it. I also wouldn't say it's a "fresh breath of air" like I've seen some people online call it, more rather a nostalgia trip since it just feels familiar to alot of the western movies I grew up with. Anyways I'm a bit torn on what to move onto next, I got a lot of series on my shelf right now. I'll probably just watch some of the movies I've been putting off and finish up some of the american shows I've been watching.

Up until about two days ago I hadn't actually watched Cowboy Bebop. So far 10 episodes in, really like it, definitely lives up to the hype, have to keep myself from staying up late watching it lol

I'm 21, started watching anime when I was 12-13ish. I took a brief break when I was 16-18 because I thought I was TOO COOL for anime. Now I'm back to being a massive nerd. I started watching anime again last tail end of high school when I watched Evangelion. Which although I will admit it's a bit overrated, I literally stayed up all night and skipped school to finish it in one sitting. After that I moved onto watching the classics.

I like some of the older stuff from western animation. I obviously like the Pixar and Disney that I and alot of other kids grew up with, but I wouldn't sit down and watch it myself now. Stuff like the 81 Heavy Metal, older American cartoons are actually pretty good themselves. I might just be a hipster dork but alot of newer anime, and western animation just isn't that good in my opinion. Obviously they had bad stuff in the 80's 90's and 2000's but age sort of filtered those things into obscurity.

It's a shame yeah, alot of people think anime is just "boobs lol" and its kinda sad. Unfortunately its easy to produce generic mass produced Isekai that is basically all the same.
