Well, I was so busy oozing over the new St*r WarzzZZ trailer and sneak peeks, that I forgot to mention that Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex will be on Adult Swim saturday along with Full Metal Alchemist.

I don't know whether to be excited or not.  The GitS chick's kinda cute.  And I heard FMA is good, but meh... Witch Hunter Robin, Read of Die, lame Animatrix, even my beloved Wolf's Rain, their anime picks radar's been a little off.

The GitS chick's English voice sucks.

But you guys should definitely watch Fullmetal Alchemist.

FMA was awesome. And yeah, the GTS chick's voice blew. I liked her English voice in the movie better for some reason.

Ugh, they shat all over FMA.

Lust's voice sucks, Al says "Ed" and "Edward" instead of "Brother," Ed mentions CHEMISTRY (which does not exist in the FMA world), the voices are hard to hear (on my tv at least), the fonts are ugly, and they totally fucked up the end credits by poorly mixing in clips from the first intro and playing music from the 2nd intro, AND speeding it through so the song just fades out.

If you can't stand crappy voice acting, then why do you watch dubbed anime in the first place?

I liked the American VA for her. I also liked the dub for both.

Title: GitS on Adult Swim
Post by: B E C K on Nov 07, 2004, 09:09:14 PM

The American VA sounded like the same one used for Bastard!!'s Arshes Nei and Fushigi Yuugi's Nuriko.  I kinda like her voice but it sounds kinda weird and old.  And I was put off by her outfit.  Can't you put on a coat or something when you go into the office? :lol:

FMA was somewhat amusing.  It kinda seems like its treading familiar waters though.  It has the feel of tons of other animes.  Meh.

Both were all right, but I don't think I'll care if I miss future episodes.

I've had the same problem with other FUNimation dubs.

Damn, I just pulled a Faye.

Although, it's probably because I'm at school, I'm used to being at home where I don't have to log in, and I thought I was logged in.

I like the dubs.

It's difficult to call these two "ruined" when you have so many worse dubs out there.

:( He reminds me of those old guys who pretend they are 15.

He reminds me of those old guys with a permanent frog in their throat that can't act very well.

I agree with the thread title - "gits" on Adult Swim.  No more Case Closed and yet another round of Witch Hunter Robin.  Let's just start Inuyasha over from episode 1 while we're at it.  :angry:  

Title: GitS on Adult Swim
Post by: MegatronYES on Nov 10, 2004, 11:43:20 AM

Case Closed is cool.

Title: GitS on Adult Swim
Post by: B E C K on Nov 11, 2004, 12:04:36 AM

And to think not long ago I loved Inuyasha so much.  Now I'm just sick of it.  Unless it has Kagura in it, I can't even watch it anymore.  Wolf's Rain I liked (of course) so I'm having fun watching that again, though I understand perfectly if other people don't.  Witch Hunter Snoozefest is just a break to not watch anything and may as well be a test pattern.  Wolf's Rain should have that last slot and Case Closed should be there somewhere after Venture Brothers.  Family Guy and Futurama are feeling kinda tired.  I'm not really complaining though, since anything's better to me than Aqua Teen and Sucklab.

Post by: B E C K on Nov 11, 2004, 12:05:31 AM

And Harvey Birdman.  Yeah, I don't care for their original comedy that much.  And did Squidbillies really get the ax?

Title: GitS on Adult Swim
Post by: Bernie AKA on Nov 11, 2004, 03:49:52 PM

I never even SAW Squidbillies! Two-three commercials and that was it - was it that bad?

And I'm at Nuri's point with Inuyasha; only caring when one character's on, but mine is Kouga.  Read me the phone book, Scott - just talk.  :)

Merla's a Kouga fangirl, too.  I kinda like Sesshomaru, but he kinda has the personality of a piece of cardboard.  Be spunkier!  :lol:

MANGINA!  :P

I saw Squidbillies in the lineup last night, but my meds knocked me out before it was on.  B)  

Title: GitS on Adult Swim
Post by: Max Con on Nov 12, 2004, 03:55:17 PM

It wasn't Squidbillies.

They showed some really gay anime-parody (Seriously. It was worse than every episode of Brak Show and Harvey Birdman combined), followed by a "commentary" on it with Space Ghost, Meatwad, one of those Squidbillies things and a half man/half shark.

Yeah, I saw some of that on Sunday.  It was uber-ghey.

Nope, he's a hulking, mostly-bald, and flamboyant German man with a lock of curly blond hair.

I wonder how Louis would've looked with boobs.
