I can't do english dub, the voices almost never match the character's appearance. Seems so out of place and artificial. Rick Astley's voice doesn't match his appearance either but he's done fine.

I really have only one problem with English dubs, but it's a big one because it involves two of my all-time favorites.
Faye Valentine and Myōjin Yahiko have the same female English voice actor.
And the actor does a pretty good job of giving each their own voice, but on occasion...you can tell.
It makes it very difficult to enjoy Faye in her glorious, awkward entirety when she sounds like a little boy.

Some older anime I actually watch in English.
Great Teacher Onizuka, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star. Basically Toonami. I honestly think Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star were outright better in English than in Japanese.
I feel the same about the early Tenchi works too, but that's probably more nostalgia because both language versions are pretty awful.

I dunno. In my experience, the JP dubs miss by the largest marks.
One of the best known anime characters of all time, who is the strongest mortal in his universe, sounds like a 6 year old.

Goes back to the native ear, really.
It's why -- at least at one point in history, maybe not as much now -- you shouldn't buy Japanese stereo equipment to listen to heavy Western music, because it was designed for the Japanese ear/sound/music and couldn't carry the low end as well.

Also, even with death and time chamber shenanigans, he's 40 something years old. :|

Laughed more than I should have.
Which shouldn't have been at all.

the voice actors for fma aren't too horrible.

FMA is one of the best done English dubs, I prefer it to the JP version several fold.

reading the news since the pokego release has been awesome. kids getting robbed forcing police to give press conferences where they say things like;
Many of you have heard of Pokemon Go, but for those that have not, it is a type of Geo Caching game where you find and capture Pokemon characters at various locations. If you use this app (or other similar type apps) or have children that do we ask you to please use caution when alerting strangers of your future location.
Many of you have asked how the app was used to rob victims, the way we believe it was used is you can add a beacon to a pokestop to lure more players. Apparently they were using the app to locate people standing around in the middle of a parking lot or whatever other location they were in.
surprised officer jenny isn't on the case...

On the plus side, it's making some of the nerds who otherwise wouldn't get out and exercise!

Officer Jenny was proven incompetent when she stopped Ash from transporting an injured Pikachu to the Pokemon Center in like episode 2 because she thought he stole a severely injured Pokemon.
She's pretty much just ladycop eyecandy.

God damn, I love this ship. The Molecular Deconstruction Beam does so much damage it pretty much one-shots any enemy that isn't a boss, and even against them it hits for ~50% of their health.

Got a Kingler on my morning dog walk. He was just there, in the middle of the road, big claw a swingin'
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
