I usually get way too invested in those kinds of animes, and end up really depressed after I finish it (sometimes swearing off anime forever lol).

I'm currently watching lain (2 episodes in gonna watch 3-4 more tonight) and I have a feeling I will be depressed after I finish the series... pathetic I know.

Well, you just found someone who shares your enthusiasm. Paranoia Agent was great.

to keep this thread going:

What do you guys prefer, Subs or Dubs?

I personally can't stand dubs... none of the english voices ever sound fitting and I also feel that english voices make the show feel a bit silly almost...

The japanese take their anime way more seriously then westerners do and I feel that their voice acting is usually far better. Plus I enjoy the way the japanese language sounds, it's one of my favorite languages (i'll learn it some day when I'm not so lazy ). Certainly more interesting to me than plain old English.

On the flip side, I can see how some people might be put off by having to read while watching... but it's never really bothered me for some reason.

What do you guys think?

Either one is fine with me, really. I usually watch them dubbed unless the English voice acting is terrible, then I'll watch them subbed. The only anime that I didn't like the English voice acting in was Rurouni Kenshin, especially the OVA's. Everybody was speaking perfect English and using big words, even Kenshin was when he was a little kid. lol

That, and almost everybody used the same dull voice that didn't show much emotion at all.

It's not pathetic, I think that's the whole point of those kind of anime's... To make you sad.

They make me happy though, because I can relate. I'm now watching an anime called Sola. That page doesn't tell much about it, and the art is not that good, but it's nice... soothing.

hiyas
i like to watch anime too. im not really watching anything right now. ive watched elfen lied and thought it was great (i was like whoa on the first episode how the opened the story) i really liked chobits and love hina but im a suck like that. im watching romeo x juliet now but the subbing is taking a long time. with like bleach and naruto i kinda got bored of them when they got into the fillers but i hear that bleach is getting good again. if you people have any suggestions on a new anime id love to hear them.

Try Dennou Coil. It's a nice sweet anime. There's also Clannad, but I didn't like it, it seems to be one of those aggressive-type animes that are common now... have you seen Fruits Basket? (old but good)

i could only find previews of Dennou Coil and i couldnt find working episodes of Clannad... but i did watch the first couple episodes of fruits basket and i like it. i wish i didnt have a paper to write otherwise i would of watched both seasons by now lol

I would also, if I had the energy. Sigh.

most recent anime I finished was Darker than Black. I would highly reccommend it to anyone.

a good place to look for anime is veoh.com. They usually have most everything I've ever looked for and good download speeds.

just did a quick search of the site, found some clannad episodes.

Also, Bleach is out of fillers again (has been for a few weeks) and is getting much better.

Yeah I got like 4 episodes of Sola off veoh.com. But then eps 9 and 11 were subbed in German, and there was no ep 10.
Also, I learned that there is a large-boobed lady from Japan who is also named Sola.

Another nice manga is D-Gray Man. I tried to watch the first ep of the anime (I had the file for a while) but it was corrupt. ;<
