It just sucks. We used to have some good stuff like DBZ and Sailor Moon a lots a years ago, but all we have now is Pókemon and some childish crossover of Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh. How do you guys manage to watch good animé in America like Lucky Star, Azumanga Daioh and such?

It's called subs, man. Look it up.

But you don't have animé on TV?

Well, who needs TV when you have a PC and Internet ?

Me???

I think it's just easier. I guess you have to pay to subscribe to animé on the interwebs?

i've just never gotten into anime, i don't really see the point :/

@RandomPicAndClipPoster:
Internet. You can watch anything on the internet, and anime is no exception.
If you'd like to watch it on your TV, there are plenty of options to consider. HTPC's are cheaper and more powerful than ever, and with NVidea's Ion chipset, they can play full 1080p video without dropping frames.

@Skankin:
By that logic, what's the point of watching TV? Or video games?
It's merely a form of entertainment; take it for what it's worth.

@ randompicandclipposter
I feel ya man,
Does your anime get super censored when it's localized?
I've seen show that are 18+ get turned into kids shows over here in America
It ticks me off!

@ Lanthus

We don't have 18+ anime at all. It would be nice for me if we had some children cartoon channel, that turns into an adult anime channel after the little ones are in their bed, like Adult Swim.

we really don't either, almost any anime we get is destroyed by 4kids and there ridiculous plan

1. take an awesome anime

2. replace theme song with rap

3. find the worst possible voice actors

4. remove as much signs to Japanese culture as possible

5. take off 10+ years of the expected audience

6. ???

7. PROFIT!

I have to disagree with 3, because no voiceactor is better then DAN GREEN!!! XD

Also:

8. Make bad puns.

9. Remove any sign of blood, violence and wepons and replace it with the power of friendship.

There's just one thing I like about 4Kids broadcasting: Secret messages :P

Oh yes Dan Green Is awesome!
I was going to mention those but decided to go with the meme route
regardless, just go look for anime here on the interwebz it's much better

@RandomPicAndClipPoster What are talking about? There is no good anime in America on TV! It's either stupid kids anime or Naruto like stuff. We only see good anime on the internet. Anyway, most of the 300 millon people here don't even know what anime is.

Preach it Brootha Joefilms!

shadow fury, it's not like i haven't tried! It's just not my cup O' tea
 
 

liek pork! i can't stand pork, (minus bacon, of course)

the only anime where i am is pokemon and Naruto

actually same here griff… maybe thats why i'm not into it…

Have you ever heard of Adult Swim? Watch it on saturday.

ok, but isn't anime like if you miss one episode your pretty much lost?

@Skankin:
You can usually either watch the episode online, or just catch on by paying really close attention. If it's a filler, it doesn't much matter one way or the other.
Certain animes coughinuyashacough can be watched as standalone episodes without issue. (Ghost in the Shell works this way as well.) It's still better if you watch all the episodes, regardless of the style they're in.

I miss one piece! BBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWww

omg onepiece i liked, what about bobobobo-bo-bobobo? that was my fave

i never laughed as hard as i did when watching that show :D

I hope you didn't watch the 4kids version of one piece… DX

Never watch anime on TV… Dubs are horrible. Always watch online.

you know that show was funny…

@Skankin:
What I saw was a large, insane guy talking to a man that lives in his nose.
How is that funny?

. . . . how is it not funny?

@Skankin:

too each his own, whatever : /

Anybody here ever heard of an anime called Sgt. Keroro? I know it was at first a manga series (I have most of the English translations and a few Japanese ones), but with any good manga, it gets turned into an anime. I've seen a few clips of it, but is it really any good?

Umm

Watch Valkyria Chronicles. Its pretty good.

I LOVES ME SOME BO-BO-BO!!!
Any show that dumb is a okay in my book.

To be honest I saw bo-bo-bo for a short time dubbed on TV and it was HORRIBLE. Not every single episode made sence and there was not even a plot in it.

THAT'S THE POINT!

But it was TOO MUCH. My brain couldn't take it anymore :(

CowBoy Bebop and Trigun are great too.

@ blah
yea, every thing on that list is full of win.
@ tomberry
Agreed

Anyone knows a good site?

AnimeFreak for dubs/subs is good.

Thank you :D
