who is the guy in charge of deciding whether we use the english or japanese name for a series, take me to this man so i can tell him to just stick with one pls tia

In anidb settings, you can set your preferred language to show titles/characters/whatnot. If nobody's put in the title in your language yet, it'll show one that's available. At which point you click it and add the translation, if you want it. :v:

Is that seriously an actual fan-made abridged version of a show that's not a bad parody? That's incredible.

Yes, it just cuts out the *view pans as nothing whatsoever is happening for 9 minutes* and the 5+ minutes of recap in every single episode. Sometimes it takes 4-5 weeks for them to put out a full 20 minutes of new content. :v:

So, same rate as the actual show?

Yes, that's the point.

The problem with the show is, it's 1 chapter per episode, and manga chapters can be really really short, especially when action packed. Average used to be 1.5 chapters per episode (more for action packed, less for text packed chapters). Then they caught up around the end of CP9/Enies Lobby arc, and anime pacing went to poo poo, especially during long fights where pages of manga pictures translate to a couple punches.


Nice.

I started watching moon a couple times, but I always fail to finish the dream horse bullshit. I hear the final season is nice, too. Maybe I should just skip that part.

Now is there such thing as a magical boy show? I might watch that.

Most shounen are that. They have all the same plot points: random guy gets superpowers, kicks villains, saves the world. Literally a magical girl show, but with boy.

Tutu also definitely has magical boys, just not as main character. It's pretty balanced in that.

Shugo Chara started kinda lame but ended up pretty good a couple episodes in IIRC. I then dropped it for unknown reasons. I saw it's on CR, I should watch it sometime.

Also it has Mizuki Nana.

CCS is also great.

I think someone mentioned Dino D-day is a good game once. Maybe I'm not remembering it right, and it's bad though.

Thanks in advance. (Seriously though, no manga.)

People already mentioned nodame and toradora, which are both must watch really, but here's a couple more:

Whisper of the heart. This one owns. Plus, it's ghibli.
Clannad is good, sequel is even better. For very different reasons though.
Cross game is the best thing by Adachi Mitsuru, which is saying a lot imo. Has a lot of baseball too, if that's your thing.
Full moon wo sagashite. Don't let the opening trick you, this is a depressive and angsty as gently caress shoujo drama. :v: Really good though.
Kimagure orange road is old, but still one of my favourites. Has a great soundtrack.

As an aside clannad is bad melodramatic tripe with the worst ending to a show I've ever seen...personal opinion is to avoid, IMO

I wouldn't watch again, but it's not bad on a first watch IMO.

It is overrated though, I'll agree with that any time.

So Sony won the console war, I figured they would.

Sony won the console war 2 decades ago, when they made a D-pad that doesn't suck. It's been the same ever since.

I have no idea how it's possible to continue loving up such a simple concept for such a long time, but people manage to do it. It's insane.

My fav FF is 14 because it's the only FF I could be bothered to play till the end.

A long time ago a friend told me to play 7, and it was really good at first, with errorists and weird magic steam punk city and a cool guy with a gun for hand and evil organizations and poo poo, but then the train kinda skipped the rail and wrecked itself, hard. So I quit. Never touched a FF since, until 14.
