@kaust - I am already finished with the Reborn anime and on, what I assume is, the final manga arc.
@cashew the manga is usually considered better because they go on beyond the anime, or the anime changes things. FMA iis a prime example of the latter, though brotherhood fixed that.

Yeah, like Ouran Koukou Host Club, while watching the anime I waited and waited for a kiss scene between Haruhi and Tamaki, but it never came, it was only when I read the anime did I finally get my kiss scene.
I haven't really had time to read/watch manga or anime. "OTL The last one I read was Hot Gimmick, although I didn't really like it....
When I do read/watch it though, I have to say that... I'm a real child lol. I... have a habit of liking cute or feminine anime and manga. ('XDD) I really like reading Kamichama Karin, Digi Charat, and collecting Pokemon Magical Journey comics. (lol)
Uhh, in terms of anime... I love Princess Tutu, Detective Conan, Sailor Moon, Kamichama Karin, Cardcaptors, and the older series of Pokemon. I also actually really enjoy(ed) Teen Titans.
I used to watch Black Butler for awhile with my sister, but I don't remember why we stopped. I dunno though, I've never really found... the butler guy to be.. atttractive? o.o

I enjoy Sailor Moon and Detective Conan as well, I used to watch the latter with my friend. And I think the butler was supposed to be more of an intimidating, mysterious character rather than being cute. But the anime/manga guys who are cute have to be Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach and Soul from Soul Eater.

Do you mean cute as in hot/cool or cute as in like childish/ adorable cute? o.o When I think of cute... I think of like Rilakuma cute or.. yea. I agree-- I think Soul is quite cute. Alphonse from Full Metal Alchemist is very cute though. \(^D^)/
Also, I forgot about Hikaru No Go. I used to read it when I couldn't read the +13 years of age stuff, lol. It was a good series though.

Hikura No Go was an awesome watch, I've yet to read the manga yet but I really should start sometime soon. The final episodes are really tear-jerking, the really developed the characters into people I care about.
Uh... does Tales of Graces F count as a current anime activity? xD

A project developed by Ambry. This used to be my old RMXP project but I converted it to GM8 and now Construct due to the game play possibilities. It's an action platformer with RPG elements and slight twists here and there. The project is based on 'The Seventh Tower' series by Garth Nix, but I assure you, I'm changing a lot of things!
I gave Black Butler a look after seeing it mentioned here a few times. It does blend comedy into its story much better than a lot of anime and there were a few genuinely funny moments but already being familiar with the 'Faust tale' it was hard to escape the weird dynamic between Sebastion and Ciel- ignoring the fact that Sebastion holds all the genuine power yet willingly takes abuse from Ciel (its one thing to serve and another to be someone's bitch), he is just too subservient for a demon, an incarnation of evil, regardless of his contract. Marlowe's Mephistopheles for example always gave Dr. Faustus something akin to what he wanted, but in a warped or diminished way- he always fulfilled his contract but he knew that there was nothing Faustus could do if he was displeased because Faustus had no real power of his own. Anyways I haven't seen it through yet, I suppose the ending will define it, but if Sebastion doesn't actually take Ciel's soul Ima be pretty annoyed.

I've recently started watching Spice and Wolf on Netflix, which is English dubbed, watching it like that is unusual for me, and I'm usually disappointed in the voice actors.
This anime is very conversation heavy so that worried me, but the characters are likeable and the voice actors do a really good job. I find myself emotionally invested in the plight of the characters and their relationship, even though it lacks a lot of the fancy explosions and comedy I usually look for. I highly recommend it.

Speaking of anime dub vs subs, where do you guys stand on that?
Personally, there are only four animes I will tolerate the dubs: Fullmetal Alchemist, Hikaru no Go, Bleach, and Lucky Star. Everything else must be subbed.
I dno, its kind of a worn-out argument. In my own experience subbed does provide a more immersive, not to mention authentic(?), experience. English voice actor's jump from emotional extreme's like "he's sad this line but he's happy this line", ignoring subtext (and sometimes even coherency) and basically don't seem to treat the lines seriously (as in, being a cartoon 'its aimed at kids and kids are dumb' kinda thing), often focusing more on trying to 'fit' words rather than how they are delivered. That aside, when people say 'dub is stupid' or whatever I always just think stfu- its like when someone says a music genre sucks; its a personal preference, and usually they have no business saying its good or bad because they've deliberately avoided a whole genre based on a couple of tracks.

FMA's dub was downright epic.
I have to agree on the FMA dub being epic, and I can pretty much tolerate any dubbing. I don't like reading text while I'm watching pictures.

I suppose I've just gotten used to it XD, I almost feel like I understand Japanese when I'm using subs >.> not to mention that it really has helped me pick up several words, making my own personal study easier.
I don't mind subs, IF they are done well, it's just so rare to see it that I rarely watch them. A few exceptions are dragonball Z and Pokemon, since I never even saw those dubbed.

I couldnt stand subtitles at one point. I hated reading the text, but after i was all caught up on one piece I had no choice. Now I can't stand dubbed. the voice acting is horrendous. like omg we have great animated moves cartoons so why is it so hard for them to get the voices right in anime?
anyway great dubbed shows were death note, FMA, code geass, cowboy beebop, and Full metal panic series.
just say this thing called neon ally coming to ps3 in the fall. they dub all shows for 7.99$ ia month. and they are doing Ao no exorcist! looks good to since they got that power ranger guy as one of the va's.

My main gripe with subtitles is that I HATE inconsistency; whenever I stream or download subs, I usually get them by different groups. Different groups use different formats, and some groups are typically skilled at translating more than others, and I just hate the feeling that I might be missing out on some important details because the translators suck.
