So Anime Is A Thing Now (Introduction To New Topic)

Hello you beautiful beautiful people! Since the last time that I frequently posted on this blog there is something new that i truly truly love in my life, and that is Anime. Now if you specifically have never actually gotten into Anime i will tell you right now, your  life must suck pretty bad... I'm just joking your life is probably fantastic but with anime it can me 567434667536565747364786354x better than it was before. Now i know u must be thinking "But how is this possible that my life could be 567434667536565747364786354x better but i never knew about it" and my answer is BECAUSE  YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED ANIME!

Now a brief description of anime brought to you in part by Wikipedia.com where 12 year olds give you information on the world, " "Anime" are Japanese animated productions usually featuring hand-drawn or computer animation. The word is the abbreviated pronunciation of "animation" in Japanese, where this term references all animation.[1] In other languages, the term is defined as animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastic themes.[2][3] Arguably, the stylization approach to the meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan.[4][5][6] For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as an animation product from Japan.[3]" So its basically Japanese Cartoons!

See i know right now i'm going completely fan boy on all you people but just hear me out if u haven't already left the article due to my slight insanity in the paragraph above, yeaaa that can happen sometimes xD. And once I enter fan boy mode again i must give you a disclaimer, if you do not like Subbed shows then you will not like anime, and for anyone unfamiliar with the terms "Subbed" and "Dubbed" then let me explain. Subbed is when the audio of the video is all original from the airing in Japan, so there are people talking in Japanese but you are reading the subtitles at the bottom of the screen. Dubbed anime is basically when it comes out in English countries and all the voice acting is now in English. Now if you are a normal person you are thinking right now "Well Dubbed anime seems like the right choice" NO, NO SIR YOU ARE WRONG, here is why. The biggest reason why you are wrong is that you will basically always be watching 1-Year Old Anime because it takes time to change the animation of the lips in the shows and actually get voice actors to read all the lines of all the episodes in the series etc. you get the point about the timing. Next is the voice actors, yes this is a huge problem. First off there are things in the anime that cannot be translated like names, the English voice actors pronounce them so badly it hurts to hear, like i don't think my ears have been so close to actually bleeding. They don't even match with the characters. This may not seem like such a big problem but it is after you watch about 5 episodes. For a little sample of both types of Anime these are trailers for the anime "Sword Art Online" (One of my favorites)

Dubbed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Jl_-b7ju0  (Start at 1:00 to hear voices)

Subbed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szoyfP_Wfx8 (Start at 1:10 to hear voices)

After you have watched those you must agree with me that the main character (Kirito) Sounds like he is about 5 years old in the Dubbed version compare to his bad ass voice in the Subbed version. I know that to some new anime viewers subbed can be really annoying just due to the fact that you have to read and can't enjoy the animations as much but you get used to it very quickly!

So i think i have gone far enough in depth on what to do with Subbed/Dubbed Anime, so this list is a list of the anime in which i will be reviewing in the next couple of weeks:

• Akame Ga Kill (First Impressions, Current Episodes = 3)
• Sword Art Online (Full Series Review)
• Sword Art Online II  (First Impressions, Current Episodes = 3)
• The Irregular At Magic High School (Mid Season Review, Episodes = 16/22)
• No Game No Life (Full Series Review)
• Why Not To Watch The Big Three (Informational Blog On Why Not To Waste Your Time Watching Naruto, Bleach or One Piece)
• Comic Artist And His Assistants (Full Series Review) 
• Black Bullet (Full Series Review)
• My Mental Choices Are Completely Interfering With My School Romantic Comedy (Full Series Review)

So ya that is what you can expect from me in the coming weeks on the whole Anime Subject and my challenge for you guys is to watch at least 2 of these Anime, 1 of them a full series and one of them can still be in progress. And with the full series experiment with the Dubbed and Subbed and see which one you personally prefer!
