I got a question for you anime experts. When you go to download an episode by torrent are there any particular translations (Nipponsei, SubDesu, etc.) you tend to steer towards or do you just pick em until you find one you like for each episode? I went to Otakon in Baltimore this weekend and I'm looking to start on a couple of the series I saw there, namely "Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?" (Is This A Zombie?) and Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property), but I have no idea what the good translations are and don't really wanna waste a few hours downloading an episode with crap quality or something.
watch my anime online. like JustDubs.net if you want English dubbed anime. forgot the english subbed websites but those are easy to find.
 
Im still surprised that Bleach is still going on! Its a good series but I would love to see a new series of Inuyasha!

But that wasn't the question......

Im confused.

The Bleach ANIME is over for now.


As for the torrent question, i do believe in non-streaming anime so i do this a lot but there are a lot of good subs out there.

Static-subs, shinsen-subs, GG subs, Underwater, Unlimited Translation Works, Hatsuyuki... old Hatsuyuki anyway, Chihiro, WhyNot has been getting better.

Most of the stuff Subdesu, Commie, Shin-GX etc.. does is ok but the shows they choose are normally ASS so it doesn't really matter.

Oh ok i get it!
 
Just finished Darker than Back season 2. I liked it but it felt a bit... I don't know. ...confusing? With July, Suo, and Yin. I still dont understand why July was with the new team after what Hei did to April. He is a doll, but he never confronted Hei either... Could someone that saw DTB season 2 explain what happened?

Well the ending of one wont necessarily bring about the return of the other. As for bleach... The manga right now has entered it's final arc and will probably be animated upon it's conclusion. Kubo said he was thinking it'd be as long as the heuco mundo arc and that went five years. Maybe not that long, but who can say. ATM though people are dying left and right. This arc is going a little nuts on the body count.

Some very spoilery spoilers below. I'd avoid them Isaiah but I'm putting them up to amuse people who already know what's going to happen or don't care either way.

he'll be fine.

He'll walk that off.

An aspirin should clear that right up.

Of course walking Deus Ex Machina Orihime is about. We'll see if she fixes everyone, no one or something in between.

Yo Vincent, What's Shiki about?
 
Shiki is a murder mystery at it's core.

Not bad at all, but i dunno if it's as amazing as Vince is letting on about.
I think it is. I'm pretty strict about what I watch when it comes to anime. I stay away from the mainstreamed cliche. If Shiki was just another cliche vampire story like Blood+, Trinity Blood, or Vampire Knight I wouldn't hold interest to it for very long, let alone praise it. It gives you two sides in a conflict and lets you decide which side to cheer for. it doesn't try to sway you one way or another. It's not your average vampire story so it jumps another hurdle in that category as well. and the characters. my god, the characters are so well done. it gives you the views of many different characters without giving each one their own side show/episodes/or arcs given a few but it's to further give you a glimpse on how each side is affected.

I've watched many anime and have heard or looked at many, many more. i'm not saying my word is law. it is just an opinion after all. but look at other peoples opinions about Shiki. darn near all of them give the anime a score of like 9 out of 10 and up. and most of them say it's easily the best anime of 2010. and that's the masses word on it. not mine.

You can always decide who to cheer for, or don't cheer for anyone.
 
For me I watch ol school and a bit of new school but when it comes to anime in general the ol school was a tad over the hill than new school. Anime today is either a moeblob (Which i hate ugh... *looks at Kon -_-x) or perverse Fan service (looks at Queens Blade). Anime wont be like Kenshin (forever my fave) or berserk or beck again. Last anime I saw was sengoku basara and that had the new school flare with the ol school feel of a lot of nonsense on the screen xD. So its hard for me to look at a anime now and pick one that is my fave without it falling into the two categories I listed above. Some do stand out though from time to time.
