The rating on MAL, is it really that bad?
regarding One Piece I'm nearing the end of Impel Down part 2, amazing arc. the majority of the last 200 or so episodes of this have been brilliant for me, the animations gotten really good too.
will miss the characters too much!Who watches things dubbed in the first place?!Finished the entire One Piece dub, not sure if I can make the switch to the subbed version
When I started anime, I would only watch things dubbed. Then there were a few shows that I wanted to watch that hadn't been dubbed. Since then, I've always gone straight to the subbed version.

Why oh why would anyone watch the dubbed version. Funimation is better than 4kids, but still - the original voice acting is one of the strengths of One Pieace.
As an aside, 4kids censorship was something else:
I'm on the bit where
Yeah I feel those were better in arabic, hunterxhunter as well I saw it on tv as a kid and felt better in arabic.
It's essentially a condensed version of the anime (Gambino to Eclipse), and a lot of the material has been cut out - so it might not be worth your while. Apart from maybe the end of Arc III: Descent - which gives you some closure after the Eclipse.
It does seem rather fine except for that the Japanese voice actor for Spike has such a cool smooth voice whilst the American one has a more rougher voice that doesn't have as much charm.
They mostly cover the events of the anime except for a few extra minutes at the end, the cgi animation is an eyesore though and they don't have the same somber beauty as the series, much due to the soundtrack not being as distinct.
Attack on Titan, Full Metal Alchemist and Mushishi, judging by a quick google.Yeah when it comes to the whole dubbing vs subtitles, i always prefer the original subbed japanese too... just sounds more authentic than the usually dodgy american voiced characters.
On another note, just wondered if anyone has any recomendations on decent Anime, in particularly on Netflix? I've see a lot of the more classic series like Death Note, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Beebop... recently on Netflix i randomly picked Seven Deadly Sins, which i quite enjoyed, but also gave Rwby a go, which was bloody awful
So any stars on Netflix lying around inbetween the junk?
Watch the remaining subbed episodes and see what you think, if anything you'll have a glorious subbed rewatch to look forward too.
I'm scared of this, tooFinished the entire One Piece dub, not sure if I can make the switch to the subbed version
The relationship between Guts and Griffith was fantastic, engaging from start to finish. I hadn't expected to like this branch of dark-fantasy but overall it was very enjoyable. Spurred me to pick up the manga recently too. I disliked Casca though.
I'm scared of this, too
Luckily, I've got a while yet before I'm up to date so I'll enjoy the dub while I can. Or maybe I should switch to the sub now since I'm only 100 eps into it.... The choices, the choices..
I thought exactly the same about 300 episodes ago, and then they flew right by!
I think I will stick with the dub because I love the voices too much and they are the characters for me, if you know what I mean? I'm not looking forward to having to change so far into the story but I'll manage...hopefully Abort, abort! Watch a few episodes subbed and you'll never look back. Luffy's japanese voice is so distinctive.I'm scared of this, too

Yeah I'm exactly the same, thought I'd really miss the characters. I'm a few episodes into the dubbed version now and it hasn't grown on me yet but I'm sure it will.
I'm watching the subbed HxH as well at the moment and with the dub of it coming out I couldn't imagine switching over to it now considering I'm in the middle of the story, and that's as a person who prefers dubs. Being so far into a story and getting to know these characters with all the emotional baggage that comes along with them, it's just strange from going to one language to another.
Yep, stick with dub. There was only one time where I even considered watching the subbed version, that was when their was a delay with the next 12 or so batch of episodes

I watched all that even though a lot of the clips were from arcs I'm not upto yet. I'd normally stop if it had something from an arc I wasn't up to yet in fear of spoiling it but I couldn't. It's just so good! I did love that Captain Kuro and his Michael Jackson sidekick, though.This is why I'm pondering the thought of changing now. I'm only 100 eps in and I already love the characters, but 400 or so and it'd be even more painful to switch. I admit, I do like the sound of the Japanese voices and don't think the transition for me would be off putting towards the anime itself, but I love the English ones. So maybe changing now would be for the best, but I'm also on the side of wanting to watch as much of the story in the dub as possible, though that'd make the transition even more strange.
Yeah, but the delay is going to be huge compared to that! I think the dub is 300 or so episodes behind the anime I believe. I don't think, if I binge watch up to the most recent OP dubbed ep, I could wait that long to catch up. Especially when most people will be up to date having been watching the subbed version thus leaving me having to avoid OP topics in fear of spoilers when I'd like to discuss it as well.
Brace yourself, the anime is going to start to get a bit slow now, but yeah best episode ever.Don't even know what I can say, holy shit. One of the best anime episodes ever. The lump in my throat is real
Ace
Can't see it feeling anything but slow after that, honestly. But I'm a fan of the chit chat comedy stuff anyway so I won't mind the slow episodes honestly, i think.
