Re: Netflix animoo discussion
It's easily one of the most stylish amines ever made. Great character development, plot, story, and action, I'm not sure what's not to love about it.

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
<insert e-peen of animu here>
do u even lift but yeah check out Space Dandy. I told you about it when it started airing and it's like you ignored me rofl It's directed by the same guy as Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop. Knowing your tastes as specified in this thread it really would appeal to you. |

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
Well, one of my issues is that I can't stand watching subtitles anymore, which is why I only watch dubs now. English dubs have some pretty good VA's (Crispin Freeman and Cherimie Leigh come to mind), and I find it a hell of a lot more convenient to be able to look away and still follow the dialogue.
Plus Japanese screaming is annoying |

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
I'm trying to think of more to contribute to this thread, but Netflix on its own doesn't have THAT much anime, that I can make all kinds of recommendations and stuff.
I mean, since it's Netflix, I guess I can recommend stuff like SnK and SaO, since the competition is, you know... Sekirei. Even though I'd probably never recommend them normally. If you don't mind that it's an amorphous blob of coagulated Shoujo wet dreams, Ouran Host Club isn't THAT bad a way to kill a few hours. Just to say you've seen it. Think of it as a trial. Bonus points for enduring the dub. Or just watch something good :/ Yeah my idea tank's empty.

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
I just wanted a Netflix animoo thread because of how convenient it is to have. Personally I hate using my computer, and downloading is a hassle because I just don't have the patience anymore to sit around torrenting. 95% of my computer usage is on my tablet/phone, and my laptop pretty much collects dust now that walking dead is over for the season.

Re: Netflix animoo discussion

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
I managed to finish Sekirei season 1. No chance in hell I'll try to finish season 2, that shit was absolutely terrible
Thankfully the other two I watched ended up being pretty decent. Baka and Test I found to be kind of silly at first, but then I started noticing all sorts of subtle jokes they kept throwing in everywhere, such as a fountain of a bent over angel spewing water diarrhea out of its ass in the background, and how the camera lens would go from normal to flaccid every time the guy was disappointed. Plus some of the running gags were quite funny. Princess Jellyfish kind of caught me by surprise. I just threw it on because it was TV14 and made in 2010, figure I'd give it a shot. Boy was I surprised. Hooked after the first episode, and it certainly didn't go in the direction I was expecting it to from the beginning until the end. It was hugely addictive and I got through the whole thing in one sitting. No regrets, one of hue he best I've seen on netflix thus far |

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
I'd recommend reading the rest of Princess Jellyfish manga. It was one of the best I've ever read.
Also might as well add me and most of the other anime watchers to the boners list. I don't even want to know how fucked up the "voice acting" in princess jellyfish was. I don't really consider most dubs voice acting since they basically just read the lines. There are a few exceptions obviously, but dubs have a horrible reputation. Not sure why anyone would watch anime on netflix though. |

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
exactly what snowc said. it's super convenient. I can spend time looking for a decent torrent (which is ILLEGAL!!!!), or find a low-quality stream on whatever site, or I can use a service I'm already paying for and watch high quality video on my TV with basically no setup time involved.
personally I don't watch much in general and I don't limit myself to netflix, but the reasons are there. |

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
Still more inconvenient than downloading so that isn't much of a reason.

People who don't care about quality and the inconvenience of being locked into a specific viewing format. Some people are crazy. It isn't about things being from Japan being better, it is about the effort put into quality voice acting. In Japan anime voice acting is a big deal, but it isn't for anime dubs. The voice acting is often very poor quality. Dubs "can" be just as good or better than the original voice acting if the effort and talent was put into it. |

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
Netflix isn't for everyone, izzy. Most people, however, don't have a problem spending the equivalent of half a large pizza a month on a fantastic video streaming service with a huge amount of variety.

Re: Netflix animoo discussion
I'd pay 10 times the amount of a netflix subscription for a service equivalent to high quality torrents. It's not about the money. Unfortunately there is no legitimate service that offers the same quality and convenience so I don't really care. I try buying other anime goods to help compensate.
Not that hard to tell, but I'd agree it is harder. One example that comes to mind is Ed from cowboy bebop in Japanese. The voice acting was basically as flat as 90% of dubs. |

plenty of people (myself included) have never heard of nyaa or AB, find video quality on netflix to be perfectly acceptable, already pay for netflix to watch other movies and shows, and don't have a convenient setup to output stuff from computer to TV. |
