Yeah, I saw that the term "Japanimation" was used for anime. Though it became disused. Sad...

I watch the japanese animes with subtitles.
The english dubs are so much worst. -_-.

Umm...Wait, I think there's the same topic around the VS somewhere. This has to be merged with the other one

i no w/ english dubs i can't learn anything...they may not even say them right, and the voices are not very good, i learn withs subtitles

edit: oh...ok

oh ok, no problem-o.

@Kin
Well, the topic is probably long dead and if Lanxal posted there, he could be accused of reviving dead threads XD

@Lanxal
Yup, I mostly read manga. Often, I'll try watching anime but then lose interest before finishing it (unless it's a "short" series, like Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu, Ouran High School Host Club, or Paradise Kiss) So I mostly keep up with the manga. Anime has the horrible tendency of dragging things out (think the fight scenes of DBZ or Naruto, or the insane amount of BAD filler episodes)

I watched a lot of Bleach and Naruto before they started going on filler episodes and just never picked them up again, even after returning to the main storyline. I still keep up with the manga, though (but the Naruto manga is starting to become lame, I must admit)

Other manga I keep up with are: D.Gray-man, Vampire Knight, xxxHOLiC, and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. I've also been slowly buying the Viz releases of The Gentlemen's Alliance.

The storyline for naruto becomes longer and more boring as each episode comes by...then it sparked up again in shippuden, but still long...

ooh! anime lovers must come here! and manga lovers too. of course i love them both. actually, i'm preoccupied in finishing detective conan now. which is long as well.

Naruto is a great anime I dont really read manga and I watch only naruto although I watched a lot of others but finished tham like some of the mine my cottage short but good I hate those kind it ends too fast D=. I don'y really want to read manga but I learn japanese to add another language to my database and understand what they say in the anime xD so I can watch raw animes.

i like the old naruto:

I watch and read Yu-Gi-Oh. (Ya, I am childish). I also read and watch death note, and watch bleach

I love anime and manga. My favorites are Chibi Vampire Karin, Rayearth, Hamtaro, Slayers, and Ranma 1/2.

well i have seen naruto and i have read some manga(Ysguare, jibun-jishin, distopia)

XD XD XD

that's actually really close to my name, and i have a reputation for being a vampire--in real life and on the forum XD except i'm not a chibi. i hope.

I read InuYasha for a while, then i kind of ran out of money and can no longer afford the books >.<

anyone ever heard of Gravitation? I only ask because of a friend who loves it, and i love the music from it (Shining Collection by Iceman = amazing) and i was wondering exactly what it's about (all he tells me is "it's awesome, you must come over and watch it" all right then...)

EDIT: Slayers! the same friend who suggested Gravitation is all over Slayers. he loves it.

I read manga alot, my best friend watches the animes. I own tons of series, Deathnote, Inu Yasha, Naruto, Bleach, pHd fantasy, and a bunch of other less known

whenever I have money I spend it on manga XD

@Tei-I can loan you the one book I have of Gravitation

i used to watch inuyasha, but then they stopped makig any more episodes and i abandoned it. im watching death note, bleach, and naruto shippuden

I used to watch naruto, and I've watched bleach and eyeshield22. But I dont watch much anime, my tv doesnt get any channels that show anime, so I have to use my computer to watch.

u noe, i either watch sub or dub. the thing is, am not going to read something i can watch. i also can't watch something that makes me read all the while. although dubs suck big time, they still make em and its best we watch em. one this i hate with a passion is how most anime end. very badly.

@Aeternus:
Lol, I can always put a sign below that says:

~Merged with the old topic~ Kinn

Easy enough

Yeah, IY is way too long. I watched some of the anime but got tired of it after a while and just stopped, and from what I hear, the ending wasn't too spectacular anyway. I make it a point, though, to avoid buying very long series (*cough*Naruto*cough*), only because I can't afford them XD

Quote:
True enough XD

But it doesn't really make a difference if it is merged or not.

@Tei
The guy who used to work at the comic book store tried to sell me the Slayers manga XD He let me have a preview of it, too, by opening it up for me (in that store, all the manga and comics are sealed in plastic). It looked funny and was pretty amusing based on what I saw, but at the time, I was looking for another series and so declined ^^

No idea about Graviation, though >_>

Oh lol, I used to try to wtch Detective Conan.
I might even get on it again.
Right now I watch Hoshi no Kaabi (Kirby of the Stars)
It's awesome!
