It varies, I like the english voice of Shinji a bit more, unless it's for screaming, then the japanese VA is a lot better.

Some Opinions as I have seen this debate in comment section of Youtube...for those who watched anime in english first and then japanese.
I remember watching the english dub for Yugioh,DBZ and Tekkaman Blade and enjoyed it, now older and accessed to japanese version. I just can't stand the cheesy music and dialogue of english dub.

It all depends, I think. Even Watanabe (creator of Bebop) said the English was actually superior... as did the composer (Yoko Kanno). But that's probably something that already lends well to a Western focus.

edit: I've said earlier here that I loved the Steins:Gate dub. I'm not sure why.. but I do.

Castlevania turned out to be very mediocre. Definitely a case of western animation both in plot and character development, and by that I mean the lack of it.

I rather liked it, but I haven't seen the second season.

@kurosagi01
Same with me. I loved Watching Robotech, Yugioh, Pokemon, Sailor Moon and Tekkaman Blade as a kid. Cant stand them now.

To be fair though, the dialog is still just as cheesy if your japanese. The cheeze is just lost on us weeaboo's.

StrayKAT · Nov 7, 2018

I especially would prefer the dub for those long series (if I even watch them. I rarely do). Like DBZ, Naruto, etc.. Just because half of it is teasing and multi week long "powerups". lol. Some of the plots are cool, but it's mostly something I'd glance at and play in the background. You can't do that if you rely on subs.

kurosagi01 · Nov 7, 2018

I don't have problem with the voice actors, its more to do with the execution of dialogues provided which can easily changed the whole plot or even the character personality itself. Seto Kaiba from Yugioh is a good example of how choice of dialogue changes the whole persona of the character.
The change of music is not too bad either.
The only english dub that was done right to me is Tenchi, purely because it was done in english first.

Not really, but maybe this would be a good rewatch...

I got a pile of movies to watch too...

GoldenX · Nov 21, 2018

My backlog is killing me. Currently, I'm attacking Welcome to the NHK, after that, Monster, then Sky Crawlers, and after that, Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Space Lynx · Nov 24, 2018

Is there a top 5 watched anime list year over year? I'd like to watch the best 5 anime's either sorted by most watched or best rated, for each for the last ten years. so 50 anime total I want to watch

Anywhere I can find a list like that?

I enjoyed the first series. Second series was a bit meh. It felt very rushed and a lot of things seemed to have gone on unexplained without much build up.

Robotech!

I think you can try MAL or anidb, they should have lists...

GoldenX · Nov 24, 2018

Finally finished Welcome to the NHK. It was not only a lot better than I expected, it was heavy on the feels department.
Also, Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is out.

FreedomEclipse · Nov 27, 2018

ULTRAMAN HYYYYYYYYPE

Its produced by the same company behind Ghost In The Shell. I just hope it doesnt turn out to be a disappointment like Castlevania as far as the storyline goes.

On a side note if you like the singing from the ming may saga of robotech/Macross - you will probably like this....

I loved F91. Its a shame that the production was dogged by so any issues and they ended up making what should of been a fleshed out series into an one off OVA style movie. Not much singing goes on it if i remember correctly which is a shame.... this song is one of the best ending theme songs ive heard from a gundam series and not just because its from back in the 80s/early 90s.

GoldenX · Nov 28, 2018

Netflix is doing a Live-Action Cowboy Bebop series... I was having a good day.
Murica, please go ruin your own franchises.

I am indeed hype for Ultraman, my body is not ready for it. They should be basing it off the manga which was really good.
Not fan of Eternal Wind, prefer the other song from F91.
Cowboy bebop "may" work for american adaptation...

Like Death Note?

If we was go by the whole race card and getting the casting correct and original source material...
What I mean is if we was to go by the premise of Cowboy vs Deathnote, cowboy is set in the future and the main character "Spike Spiegel" to me can be interpret someone not japanese but perhaps european?

Death-note is set in japan so all the characters should realistically be japanese and the premise to be japanese.

But keep in mind..i'm keeping my expectations LOW.

Ahhzz · Nov 28, 2018

I didn't mind Death Note too much, and honestly really enjoyed the Rurouni Kenshin adaptations. I don't have high hopes for Bebop, not overly impressed with the animation style in that promo for Ultraman....

Sorry, let me clarify. I liked the ORIGINAL Death Note live actions, not the newer, amercianized junk.

djisas · Nov 28, 2018

If you would like to watch a real good live action, try nodame cantabile, its is genuinely as good or better than the anime, but then again, it's a Japanese live action and was made before...

GoldenX · Nov 28, 2018

Don't give them ideas.
Also, Netflix will start streaming Evangelion, all of it. The series, Death and Rebirth, End of Eva, and Rebuild.

The final rebuild is still coming...just a very long wait.

After or before HL3? It may even come after Megaman Legends 3, if you know what I mean.

the opening?

I think you might be thinking of Crossbone Gundam -- thats one series i havent actually seen yet and ive seen almost all of them....

While were on about OSTs and such. I have noticed that a lot of the songs/themes used in the older gundam animes apart from the OP and ED were predominantly classical arrangements. Im sure there are plenty of examples from other animes but one modern one is by a composer called 'HIROYUKI SAWANO' -- he did the soundtrack for Gundam Unicorn and that had some serious classical arrangement albeit blended in with rock music here and there. Not even WIng series had proper classical arrangements, it was more like rock.
