[M] Great job

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.


Concerns?

Not everyone is going to agree with me, but here's some dubs that I think are worthwhile to watch:

Princess Tutu (Mytho is much better in the Japanese but he's still fine, and outside of a few very minor characters everyone's cast perfectly. Also DAT DROSSELMEYER)

Nerima Daikon Brothers (The original used the same lyrics for the once-an-episode song. In the dub, they rewrite the lyrics to fit the situation every time, and it's freaking awesome.)

Paranoia Agent (The original Japanese track is AMAZING and must be listened to, but the fact that the dub nearly reaches the same heights is a great accomplishment.)

Welcome to the NHK! (Chris Patton is flawless in this dub, and the original Japanese VA of Satou is pretty weak. Misaki's better in the Japanese dub though.)

Fullmetal Alchemist (Vic hate aside, it's still a good dub)

Cromartie High School (awesome in either version)

Chrono Crusade (Not as good as Baccano!, but I think of it as a spiritual precursor to the Baccano! dub because they reeeeally tried hard to use appropriate slang for the era and make it "sound" like a Jazz Age show. It's not always perfect, but it's still cool to see.)

Spirited Away (Fuck the haters, this is the best Ghibli dub. Yes I think it's better than Mononoke.)

Agreed on Paranoia Agent, this one is definitely worth it. It's fun to be able to sit back and pay attention to the outrageously awesome visuals instead of the subs.

All the Ghibli dubs I've seen were pretty excellent, even before they started attracting A-listers. Mononoke and Spirited Away are equally good imo.

+1 Cromartie, the dub is actually better than the sub imo because a lot of the humour relies on the verbal delivery which you don't get with the subs unless you actually speak Japanese.

+3 because omg agreed. I have the dvds somewhere and I should watch it again whenever I find them.

Also +1 to the Ghibli dubs. They're great.

oops +'d to the wrong thread.
