netflix's anime selection is pretty bad, idk about hulu. I would suggest Madoka Magica though, good dub, short and consistently good throughout, and if you want to make it even shorter you can watch the movies instead of the series.

Hulu is good for older shows and they even had all the ovas and movies for a few series, namely Patlabor and Dirty Pair.

Man what anime even has four seasons nowadays
Last time I watched anime for real the US hadn't invaded Iraq and I got it on rented DVDs from the library.

Looks like Baccano is a strong suggestion. I'll check it out! I saw FLCL back in the day. Might be worth checking out again, but I'm not as eager to rewatch things I saw in the bad old days.

Sup anime thread I'm watching Revolutionary Girl Utena for the first time. I'm only an episode in but I'm already super impressed by the visuals and sound design, it's a really cool experience to watch and the OP is fantastic. I checked out the dub of the first episode too and it's pretty endearingly rough but I think I'm gonna stick with subs. I hope the rest of the show is Utena just owning dudes at sports but I think it's supposed to go places? It's almost a shame.

I really like all the rose frame shots.

Utena is super duper good all around, I hope you have a sweet-cool time. Don't forget the movie when you're done with the show.

As for the dub, the original director himself apparently put a lot of work into making sure it came out okay and wasn't cut/censored/Americanized.

Princess Nine is really good. I'm glad I decided to watch the rest now instead of waiting for the wheel to decide my fate.

I also started Bamboo Blade and Yawara! Maybe sports is the best genre after all.

Full Moon being "pretty watchable" means it's an extremely bad dub, since the show is amazing.

At least they kept the original music, which is also real good.

I'm watching anime again for the first time since 2003.

So far, I have watched and enjoyed Cowboy Bebop (A+), Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood (A-), Gurren Lagann (B+), Samurai Champloo(B), and Attack On Titan (B-). I've also tried a couple of other shows, like Trigun, but they didn't really stick with me. Other anime-influenced shows I've enjoyed include Steven Universe and Avatar - The Last Airbender.

Preferences
- technically solid animation
- good music
- gets 'good' fast - (nothing that "really gets good in season 4", please!)
- good english dub
- available on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

None of these rules are dealbreakers. I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but I figured I'd start here.

What's that anime that did so poorly in Japan when it was localized here they basically told the localization team they could do a Dragon Ball abridged treatment to it?

He should definitely watch that one.
