Here, here!

I agree that Rurouni Kenshin was, in the BEGINNING, somewhat questionable. But as the series goes on, the actors do get a LOT better. Rurouni Kenshin wasn't THAT bad overall.

I also agree that Gundam SEED has some of the more worse voice actors.

However, please keep in mind that nothing on this Earth can top the all-time low of the English dub for Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku Hen (or Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal). Surely the worst, so be glad you got something better in Gundam SEED.

I did see the good things all of those dubs though: DVDs and the ability to turn them off. Just remember that fact, and you can get through even the worst English dub!

You know what really got me? Everytime someone would talk about censoring in DBZ they would say that they censored...and get this...kid goku's balls....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO THEY WANNA SEE EM THAT FRIGGIN BAD!? Im sitting there going "Could this be Michael Jackson?"

Anyways yeah I noticed censoring alot...like with signs and stuff...I look back on the days when I watch Digimon alot and think of the hotsauce bottles and cola bottles XD. Cola and hotsauce my ass! The thing is I dont see waht the big deal about wine is...hell alot of peopel drink wine...then again this is America and the libs want it censored because it would "corrupt the youth of the nation" :/

For most people, Typheus, its about originality. Die hard otaku (like myself) want to see it the way it was originally meant to be seen: Completely unalters, unedited, and unadultrated. This, unfortunately, includes kid Goku's balls... Though I could easily do without them.

I always hate when something is censored, no matter what it is, because that's not the way the creators, animators, and directors wanted it to be seen. So it's not about the balls, its about the meaning behind the balls...

(bad joke)

And I totally agree on the fact the politicians want to censor it because it will "corrupt the youth of America". Bull. They do it just because they don't like anime, and they can do it.

Yeah I know what you mean but when they talk about DB thats the one thing they mention first and it bugged the hell out of me. I remember watching DBZ and Mr. Satan (Hercule) went into this one place to get a drink after Buu blew the hell out of everything..well there was a sign above hte place that said Root Beer...and it shows the sign for a moment and the word Root is like....jumping here and there...not really noticably but to someone who plays video games you could most likely notice the shakyness of the word. Then im going....WTF? IT SAYS BEER SO FRIGGIN WHAT!?

When you said something about a toothpick being digitally inserted in place of a cig I immediatly thought of Soul Taker...you ever seen that anime? They didnt replace the cig..what was funny was he lit up a cig and then inhaled a bit and then it like popped and turns into a wheat thing(wtf?) Soul Taker was one of those animes I couldnt get into because of the backgrounds. I lost track of where they were.

Back to FMA. That was awsome when Ed's brother scared that gang banger by calling himself some demon armor XD

Zephie you ever chat on IRC? If so what chan and server

That was rather funny, I have to admit. As the series goes on the jokes will get less and less, but there will be times when they crack one that's really good. I just hope they're just as good in the English version as they were in the Japanese version. They kept the midget thing, and I am very glad on that fact because it encompasses alot of Ed's personality.

PS: Typheus, I sent you a PM with the IRC channel and server I hang out on. Don't be like me and never realize that gat a PM. Hehe.

XD I guess because of that new spoiler topic I better put a spoiler sign for this. *spoilers*

XD over a period of 5 years Ed only grew about an inch, god that must just suck. Yeha this thing is gtting a bit darker already. Who did lust and gluttony beat up at the library during hte episode where Ed returned home to get repaired? I didnt think you would know but seeing as how you seem to remember all of it (lol) but uh yeah Gluttony is one of the few anime bad guys to actually scare me a bit...HE ATE THE PRIEST FOR CHRIST SAKE! And now that you mention it...thinking of all the times the bad stuff happened, it was pretty dark to begin with.

Zephie-chan · Post by **Zephie-chan** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 7:05 pm

I'm not specifically sure who it was they beat up. It wasn't overly significant (that I can recall), so my memory is a bit fuzzy on that part... I'll do a little research and see if I can get a name.

* Following may lead to spoilers... *

EDIT: Removed by me because I think it wasn't called for. I just wanted you to be on your toes, but I don't think that was such a good idea after recollection...

You don't mean...

ALEX LOUIS ARMSTRONG IS REALLY SLOTH!?

Typheus · Post by **Typheus** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 3:36 pm

... I think shes refering to another character...dude if that were true that would be a bigass spoiler anyways :/

Zephie-chan · Post by **Zephie-chan** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 11:03 pm

Nah, Alex isn't, you're way off! I retract my statement; don't look for Sloth. They'll show you in the mid-30's who Sloth is anyway. I don't want to ruin anything for you guys There are some really serious episodes coming, and the anime is confusing up to the point where you'll forget about all of this until it happens. It'll keep you guessing, but I doubt very much it'll cross your mind until you actually are told.

... And... did you just call me a woman? Don't let the -chan fool you, buddy. I'm not a girl. Richie can attest to that fact -- so can Break for that matter. So can my avatar now that I think of it.

Typheus · Post by **Typheus** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 8:42 pm

Well you have to admit your avatar does look sorta like a girl to someone who has not seen the anime its from.

Zephie-chan · Post by **Zephie-chan** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 1:30 am

It's from the Fushigi Yuugi manga by Watase Yuu. Nuriko-chan is his name; be poses as a girl because he wishes to be one. He is possibly my favorite anime character ever. Nuriko has no gender. Nuriko is Nuriko... Nuriko is the best!

Its always hard to tell with bishonen.

And I was kidding about Alex.

Typheus · Post by **Typheus** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 4:16 pm

omfg that is one wierd ass anime...uh...yeah im confused

You played the FMA game on http://www.adultswim.com? From what ive seen in videos for the FMA console game it is better than the console game. I havn't played the console game but if you have could you tell me if its any good?

I cant wait to see Ed get into a fight with Gluttony. That little bald fuck has it comming to him.

The Fullmetal PS2 game is teh horrible. Its the most generic, lo-res, boring game to come out of Squeenix in ages.

There's another one in development, hopefully they'll get this one right.
