RE: Anime Thread
Any of you guys checked out the new Avatar series on Nickelodeon? It's called the Legend of Korra and the 1st episode already aired.

RE: Anime Thread
No, it does not count as anime, Avatar is also animated by Koreans, and, it was meant to have an anime-esq feel because the writers/designers were litterally forced to watch Cowboy Bebop (or was it FLCL, I forget which?) before working on the show. The creator of Avatar said that he always loved watching anime and cartoons growing up, so I assume he wanted to create one of his own, so to speak.

RE: Anime Thread
I have the manga of Dinosaur King...It was my favorite anime (my first anime) and I really wanna watch it in Japanese, but I can't FIND IT ANYWHERE. (The fact that they eat with forks and there's no Japanese culture references in the English dubs just bothers me)

RE: Anime Thread
Technically the Avatar series isn't Anime but then again Teen Titans wasn't either. I could really care less about M. Night Shyamalan's movie based on the franchise, it was a very poor representation of the Avatar series on Nickelodeon and If you ignore the movie then you'll still enjoy the series for what it's worth. My family did after watching
Avatar: The Last Airbender and hopefully so with the Avatar: The Legend of Korra as well.
Why should we stop enjoying something just cause some movie director comes in and ruins the nostalgic value the franchise it's based on has? I can say the same thing for
Michael Bay ruining the Transformers series and now he plans on ruining
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well. What I'm saying is don't let other versions of a specific franchise ruin the nostalgic value of it cause it's really just based on one's opinion.
Video Game Franchise's have gotten away with it after movies were based off of them like Super Mario Bros., Mortal Kombat, and even Street Fighter II. Yeah Tekken was a horrible live action Movie but it goes to show that people are stupid enough to make a buck on something regardless If they are trying to attack the nostalgic value of that franchise. Just ignore it, it might seem hard at first but it's not.
One Piece fans still refuse to ignore the 4Kids Dub, just do yourself a favor and watch the Japanese Sub or the FUNimation Dub cause it's much better. Just cause FUNimation ruined Dragonball Kai doesn't change the way I feel about the Dragonball franchise as a whole, I know there's better versions out there that we've experienced growing up so in the end it's nothing to take personally it's just how fickle we really are sometimes.

RE: Anime Thread
Yeah I totally feel you man. I NEVER have any money lol. I don't get an allowance so I have to work to buy things like that. But I got my Psyren volumes from good ol' Shonen Jump issues and last year's book fair at school!
But for sake of being on topic:
I personally think FUNimation is the best of the dubbing companies imo (is that what they're called?) I love their voice actors, they're great. The lady who played Misuzu's aunt in the FUNimation dub of Air was absolutely AWESOME. And whoever did Nami's voice (One Piece) was pretty good too. Zoro's voice was meh, but immensely better than the 4Kids one. So was Sanji's lol.
I don't know if anyone has done this yet, but I'd like to raise the manga vs. anime question.
I have a fondness for both variations, for some completely different reasons.
The two are some very different experiences! It's almost like book vs. book movie.
Now, usually the manga comes first. Made almost completely by the artist with their own style and charm, which is what I love about manga. And usually the anime adaptations of the manga keep that artist's style and charm, which is one of the things I love about the two. But there's just something about sitting down with a manga on a snowy or rainy day (just like a regular book) and reading till your heart's content. It kind of feels warm and cozy and makes you want to not get up and...it's just hard to explain. Allthough, with anime, you get to watch everything moving and it works better as anime than manga, mostly because it's usually easier to understand things like fight scenes while watching the anime, it's sometimes better than keeping track of motion lines and arrows if you're reading a manga. But anime is sometimes annoying, because you can't either find the English or Japanese versions of what you want to watch, plus missing episodes and copyright problems. There's also the fact that manga companies are rapidly running out of options, rapidly going downhill (RIP, Tokyopop! I hope we'll have Shonen Jump forever, allthough Shojo manga would be nice) so manga is somewhat becoming hard to find, making it harder to enjoy. (Which is why I turn to trusty public libraries and school libraries for manga. A lot of manga I've read that turned out to be really good I've found at libraries.)
So I like them both evenly. I don't prefer one over the other, though it can depend on my mood.
So which are you?
(there go my dreams of being a professional mangaka!)

Air Gear is pretty good. I watched a few episodes, but ended up quitting. I'll probably get around watching it again later.

I usually think subs are the way to go, but if anyone watches Hetalia, go with the dub.
