The Anime thread!

[dark-daventry]

I'm hoping that this thread here will work! This thread should be used to talk about anything anime! (Conventions included!)

And to start it off, I'm going to Anime Boston! If anyone else is, say it now!

[Oldbushie]

I've been to about 3 or 4 anime conventions, those are fun... they're starting to get too crowded tho.

[dark-daventry]

Last year was my first time at a convention... I went to Anime Boston for the first time with my friend, and loved it, so I'm going again, but loaded with more cash than before! (I bought a bunch of manga, but didn't have enough for a Zelda CD that mesmerized me! I just can't help the sensation to buy! It's so addictive!)

[Rosella]

I like the Anime style of art, but not the shows, mangas or anything. The tv shows always are very linear, so if you miss an episode, you miss everything.

[Oldbushie]

But some are completely nonsensical like Azumanga Daioh, you really don't need to know much to understand what's going on.

[dark-daventry]

English please!

[Oldbushie]

Hey, it has subtitles.

[dark-daventry]

Subtitles are so annoying! (My mom hates them!)

[Rosella]

I find subtitles fun when you mess with languages.

People in movie: Aye, the code
Subtitles: Ah, oui, le code.

[Oldbushie]

I need subtitles because I'm half-deaf. Otherwise I'd have no idea what's going on in the movie.

"He ate a pie for his father's woodworking class? What?"

[dark-daventry]

Ah. That makes sense!

[MangoMercury]

I use subtitles all the time since I can't hear properly, so they're not a bother to me.  *pokes Bushie* HEY BUSHIE, my partner in crime!

I love Sailormoon.  Still.  Lol.

[Rosella]

I loved Sailormoon before I missed a couple episodes. If someone got a first season DVD or something, I'd love to watch it with him/her.

Maybe if we put our heads together we'll hear twice as well.

[MangoMercury]

Rosella, I have all the episodes in Japanese.  Come watch with meeeeee!

Bushie can come along too.  That way we'll have the hearing skillz of a whole person instead of two halves!

[Rosella]

Do they have subtitles?

[dark-daventry]

SAILOR MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually still kinda like it! I used to watch it all the time! I don't watch it anymore, as it is off the air, but I used to love that show so much!

[Louisiana Night]

I like Anime... but not enough of the good stuff gets sent over here(into the mainstream, at least).

I need subtitles because I'm half-deaf. Otherwise I'd have no idea what's going on in the movie.

and yet you have told me several times about you playing by ear...

*is still pondering that*

I'm extremely good at picking up on melodies and such, it's details that are hard. Like, trying to figure out plate vs wait, stuff like that.

[dark-daventry]

Sure... That's what everyone says...
