Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

I finished off the last of the dubbed Squid Girl today. On occasion I thought the situational humor was painful, but I liked it overall. It was funny and entertaining.

I never thought I'd see any show/anime/cartoon that would be sexist towards BOTH genders but this anime really shoves it down your throat. Apparently in that anime all girls(who are not the main character) are weak and defenseless and all the boys are a bunch of perverted, brute, savages they actually state it a bunch of times. Also the part about her not being able to dress up as a maid at any time or any place because somehow people will know her secret doesn't make sense at all and is really stupid.

Funny, I was tempted to start a thread about it, when I read your comment.

I'm really not much of an anime person, with the only ones I've ever watched being Gundam Wing and Gundam 00, along with Crayon Shinchan (Japanese dub; a LOT funnier that way despite only understanding half of what they say), but one of my irl friends recommended I watch RWBY and I'm hooked. The first 3 episodes were kinda eh, but after watching the 4th I got really hooked. Shame they only release 6-7 minutes videos once a week.

Watamote is REALLY FREAKING DISTRESSINGLY RELATABLE

Would you recommend it?

Yeah it's pretty funny and clever.

I'm planning on rewatching (and finally watching) all 5 seasons of Digimon! So far, I reached Episode 11 from the first season, and I know that the series still a top favourite for me :3

@darkfenrir I watched most of the first season of Digimon in subs for the first time and I was surprised how similar it was to the dub. It was basically the same.Almost word 4 word of the script. Would love to know exactly what they edit out in the English version do.

@ELI-ASH the problem is, I never watched the dub (At least, I'm not sure about it, the last time I watched them... is 10 years ago, I think) :3

And by now, I always avoid dub so much, I like hearing the original voice X3

Great!I've rewatched Digimon 1-4 last year

Okay Clannad After Story is probably the best thing ever in existence. Everyone watch it.

yes, yes but it's funny EXACTLY because it's too exagerated to be real!

@TheKingOfTown

Your new favorite anime?

@Rocko
Definitely. It's the first time I've ever actually cried in any piece of media. I've been teary-eyed before, but I've never shed real tears.

Looking for anime recommnedations

I'm open to whatever genre, but I'd prefer if:

• The series is already complete. Bonus points if it's concise (i.e. only a few seasons, or just one)
• The tone isn't overbearingly serious and/or morose. But it doesn't have to be a full out comedy or anything.

Thanks in advance! I haven't watched much anime at all, so don't be afraid to suggest pretty popular/common stuff.

@stupidpupil I would recommend Durarara! and Baccano!(two of my favorites hard to explain without spoiling but they are unique and both have serious and funny moments)
EDIT: there's also Tiger and Bunny(surprisingly it's about super heroes! and it's great!)

watching FMA:Brotherhood is it because it's been a while since I've watched the first FMA or brotherhood is much more aggressive and violent?(not really a problem I just don't remember so much blood flowing)

@GuSilverFlame
FMA Brotherhood definitely has more blood than the original. In fact, some episodes of Brotherhood are rated TV-MA, while every episode of the original is TV-14

I finished Hellsing today!!!

This gave me a good laugh.
