Essential What Anime are you currently watching?

[TheNatureBoy]

Still got Hulu for another month, going to at least knock out season 1 of Black Lagoon.

Haven't been watching much anime lately but I've been playing visual novels on Steam.

Playing G Senjou no Maou I see why it gets called the Death Note of visual novels. The game of cat and mouse that L and Light played with each other is somewhat similar to what's going on here. I thought the initial main plot twist was kinda lame at first because it's reveled so early but in all honesty it hasn't hurt the story.

Without giving much of the story away

Spoiler

the main character is also the antagonist and he has a split personality. one of his 2 personalities is actually working against the antagonist side and it's pretty clear that the other protagonist and supporting cast suspect he's the antagonist but they don't have any proof. The antagonist has to work against both his other personality and the supporting characters and so far he's managed to always be one step ahead of all parties involved.

again that's a general summary. there's a part in Death Note that's eerily similar to that.

I played thru it, Usami route

Mika always putting that work in.

Most of these are classics but too old or too long for someone who has literally watched 0 anime.

I can't agree with telling someone to start watching Kenshin and then stop after the Kyoto Arc. Even if you think it gets worse from there (I don't) its part of the experience.

I also imagine someone getting into anime for the first time wants to watch dubs, which Kuroko No Basket and Haikyuu don't have.

Too long?

My first anime was Dragon Ball as a young'un


Also dubs for the most part suck, and aren't as good as the Japanese voices. You're telling me you prefer dubbed Dio over the god Takehito Koyasu?

Very rarely will I recommend a dub over subs (Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Kenshin, etc.)

 

[42 Monks]

Most dubs are legit trash. I used to think saying that was elitist but very, very few are decent let alone good.

Dubbed Dio is a perfect example imo

 

[Doctor Doom]

Koyasu's Dio voice

Oh yeah, voices in a language you don't speak are better. Nah thats insanely elitist. I only watch dubs and I can't think of any that aren't at least decent except Golden Boy and thats old as fukk.

Wtf is Dio? Jojo shyt?

I started with YYH but I wouldn't recommend longer shows to a beginner. Even today I have a hard time watching a show that goes over 25 episodes if it isn't really good.

Try One Punch Man first. Its only about 12 episodes. Then try Attack On Titan and then Hunter X Hunter 2011. I think the latter 2 are on Netflix.

The voices are better tho in a lot of cases

Do you enjoy reading television? I've done it for OVAs and recently watched Okusama ga Seitokaichou subbed as I thought it would never get dubbed (turns out its getting one) and its just not enjoyable for me. I don't think I could possibly find voices better if I don't speak the language.

FMA is another great Dub

 

[Thanos]

FMA:B is a real good starter. No one recommended Eyeshield or Slam Dunk? Also, GTO and Hajime Ippo are pretty good ones as well.
