Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Hello,I havent seen any described anime shows either. For what it is though, I still enjoy it, especially the original yu-gi-oh and, also the works of Studio Ghibli such as Spirited Away and Howls Moving Castle, although I dont know if that would be considered an anime or not, as they are, well, movies.

Re: Anime discussion I dont quite agree with your stance on dubs, but that I do. Anime tends to be well... enthusiastic about its sfx and musical cues.Even without KM, theres a truly staggering amount of great anime out there. You got your melodramatic shoujo romances, your testosterone-drenched shonan action adventure, gritty science fiction like Ghost in the Shell or Psychopass, Magical Girls and their girly badassness, your romantic comedies that are a dime a dozen, relaxed and upbeat slice of life affairs, the breathtaking films from Studio Ghibly that rival some of Disneys best... what newcomers dont understand I think is anime just isnt a gimmick. Its a medium to itself and not giving any anime a chance is like never watching a single cartoon for all the myriad genres and styles.

Re: Anime discussion I dont know where to get voices, basically. I just have the Microsoft default for TTS. I use NVDA, not Jaws.As for the out of context thing, in all video game dubs no matter the language, the script is dealt out in bits and pieces. Your given a single line, perhaps a little description of its context if its particularly dramatic, and you move on. Unless its something with a ridiculous amount of cutscenes like Metal Gear, in which they made an exception.Thats just about the only one, even huge games like the Mass Effect trilogy were done line by line, probably because VA work is payed in the time it takes to read a line.

Re: Anime discussion For my self, most anime is frustraiting to watch. I have some sight so I can see the movement on the screen, but not enough to tell what is actually happening. Also I havent learned any language other English. Because of this I have been drown to shows that are: 1. dubed in English, and 2. use a fair amount of dialog. My favorite of these is the digimon series sofar in its sixth season, and viewtiful joe, a show based on one of my favorite games. Yu-gi-oh is actually good (at least the original series is ), but the rest of the shows mentioned in this topic dont sound that interesting to me.

Re: Anime discussion Ah gotcha. And for terms of practice, all you have to download the anime you want, whever you can find it, torrents and other sites included. The other option is find subtitled anime with mkv file formats, which will then read automatically, but will be a little glitchy since it will sometimes read the subtitle more than once. For subtitles as srt files, you can also find them from various subtitle databases online by themselves, and youd just have to download the anime, then rename the files to match each other.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Well, I wasnt just speaking about Naruto. lol Watch any anime with action, and youll hear that during fight scenes, kiai in Japanese is always much more convincing due to the martial arts thing. And I think that Japanese and other Asian languages as a rule are much more expressive in that aspect, again because of how integrated martial arts and combat have been for those cultures. And martial arts there arent just a physical thing, study of them goes way beyond anything out here, and things like Kiai go so far beyond a simple shout, and its all connected to breathing and whatnot. one of the reasons why its so easy to tell whether a fighter in a movie or even real life has studied oriental fighting arts, or more western combat styles because Kiai from Asian practicioners tend to be from the belly and are very explosive, whereas western fighters shout a lot with their throats and sometimes just let it go no further than an explosive release of breath, w hich I think fulfills the same purpose as a typical kiai without the intent to use the yell itself as a psychological way of intimidation. But I digress. Martial arts are a thing of mine. haha.Ah cool. I have an interest in history and culture too, as well as knowing the language. Regarding KM player, press f2 then use screen review to find the tab that says subtitle processing and click on it. Focus should then switch to the tree view where all the settings are, then go down to multisub etc and tab until you find the list of tabs. Go to text to speech and they should work there.Yeah, its definitely very interesting to see the opposite reaction in Japan than here, but I dont think a lot of anime fans realize that is the case. Its like when a game comes out in both Japan and the states and is made by the American company, the Japanese crowd 90% of the time will prefer the English dub. Take Injustice by NRS for example. That fighting game was released in Japan with somewhat of a Japanese dub, but even I as someone who knows the language found it weird... and prefer the English. My only gripe is that for this game at least, NRS only dubbed certain things... story cutseens and ingame dialog, but they dont actually have the Japanese actors record different combat sounds, which bothers me as a voiceacting enthusiast. lol Especially because Japanese companies dub 100% of the games they localize.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Heres a side by side comparison between the two for an anime. This is a fight scene from Fate / Stay Night, another one of my favorites. Its a short anime, but as you can tell from this clip, the music and sound are awesome. The English dub is second, so you get a translation of all the dialog which is actually a little off. The grunts and kiai of the English dub are actually not too bad compared to other anime that Ive watched, buut still a good example of the difference and why I personally find the Japanese superior. The original acting doesnt sound like both of them are trying to ruin their vocal cords or force something unpleasant on each other. lolhttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/339 … 20clip.mp3 URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=197265#p197265 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Anime discussion Ive been an anime fan off and on for the last ten years or so. Currently getting back into it.I disagree on Full Metal Alchemist, though I know its an unpopular opinion. I think the first anime is better, even though I know it doesnt follow the original story. I liked the more consistently serious tone, prefer how the main villain came out, and thought the comedy thats so prevalent in the original broke the tension. Regardless, Im not an FMA fan personally, both versions have a ton of flaws to me.Im pretty happy Sailor Moons gotten a boost in popularity with Vizs new re-dub of the series. Its actually really good. So Im getting back into that franchise as a fan.As for the most off the wall weird anime, I think that title goes to Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. Its one of the funniest things Ive seen in a long time, and the dubs so good people are actively doing themselves a disservi ce by watching it in Japanese. I say this because I beleive dubs can and sometimes do beat the original actors. Not often mind you, but its been done. But I say so here because the anime was made as a tribute and homage to Western cartoons and culture, and that Gainax themselves specifically asked the dubbing team to make their scripts even raunchier and over the top, which Funimation did with gusto. An English cast just makes the intention of parodying and exaggerating western pop culture closer to the studios spirit than the Japanese, good as it is.Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-Ne was great, just finished watching it. The dubs great, equal to in Japanese personally. The cast are all relatable, its a rare girls love series to get any American release, and the tone and mecha designs look a lot like they came out of Eureka Seven, an anime very close to my heart.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Havent watched Panty and stockings, but I think one cant truly compare the two unless one actually speaks both languages. I personally believe that a dub only beats the original Japanese voice acting when its meant to take place in western society and so is more translatable. So far, I havent found one dub I actually think is better, so Im curious to know examples... Bobobo-bo bo-bobos dub is good only because of how well the humor comes across, but a lot of the specific references and puns in the Japanese are obviously dropped, but it makes up for it by repeatedly making fun of the japanese versions. But anime like Devil May Cry based on the games is better in English, simply because the original universe and games were all done in English with Japanese subtitles. But personally, as a purist and someone who speaks Japanese, I have yet to find a dub which I think actually beats the Japanese originals.

Re: Anime discussion At risk of sounding cliche, Ill agree with the assessment that Cowboy Bebop sounds better in English. Theres more emotion between the characters, the dialogue feels more natural, and many members of the staff themselves have praised and say its the version they prefer to watch.Another similar example is the creator of El-Hazard: the Magnificent World saying that the Japanese dub was good, but that when he saw it in English, it was simply the version he wanted and goes so far to say its the true voice of the story that he envisioned.CodeGeass has a more engaging dub cast. The characters are more distinct and emotive. Its been said that even Japanese viewers commonly find Johny Yongboshs performance as Lelouch more sympathetic and expressive.In the case of Panty and Stocking, it definitely fits your criteria of having a western feel. heck the animation and references have so many homages and jokes about American culture some that have only seen the English dub claim they didnt know it was an anime at first. It says something that the Japanese script has about a quarter of its banter between the leads in heavily accented English.Personally Im a critic of literal translation and purism. Nothing will quite be the same as the original language script, but unless youre deeply familiar with Japanese culture, history, and the complicated social component to the language, as you yourself seem to be, its just not going to make much sense. After all, there is a difference between translation and localization, and sometimes both are equally important at conveying the spirit of what was meant, rather than things too tied to the culture of origin to be understood.It also depends on personal preference. I know many friends that prefer dubs, or at the least like them equally as subs, some of whom have been watching anime since the early 90s. So I dont think its just ca sual fans that prefer subs, though there is a significant overlap between those new to the medium.TLDR, a dub is only as good as its script and acting, but has no inherent disadvantages compared with subs.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Definitely agree with everything youre saying. I dont doubt there are good dubs... I just havent personally found any I like as someone who speaks both languages and understands both cultures. and I dont know how much Japanese you know if any, but I feel sometimes that fans tend to side with one or the other without really knowing what theyre supposed to be listening for. People who leap on the Japanese voice bandwagon always say that characters are more expressive in the origianal, but I think a lot of them dont have enough knowledge of the language to say... they just like the sound of it. I havent actually watched any of the examples that you gave, but I wont like... Im curious. lol It definitely doesnt surprise me that some Japanese viewers would find the English more expressive than the original, considering that they have the same debates about this that we do over here... which again I dont think a lot of wes tern anime fans dont realize. there are just as many Japanese people who prefer dubs where they feel appropriate. And youre right. Unless one is familiar with the language and culture... whether something is properly translated probably doesnt matter. And about panty and stockings, it isnt unique in that much of the dialog consists of English... much of the Japanese language itself consists of words borrowed from English. lol but to sum up, I definitely agree that dubs themselves are not bad... its all about the translated script and how good the actors are. I just dont think there are things that get acted as well in the west... Kiai for example. Dubs of anime always make it sound like people are grunting and groaning when theyre fighting... and it sounds like theyre trying really hard to take a crap. But thats one thing I was re fering to when I said that there are some things that just dont translate well. hahaha.

Re: Anime discussion It was announced back in August. Theyre redubbing everything related to the anime. All 200 episodes, the movies, specials, etc. Theyre also using the same English cast for Sailor Moon Crystal.So far theyve just finished the first season. If you know anything on English va work, this ones practically an allstar cast.@Assault Freak. Very true. What people not into Japanese media, and even some that are, dont realize is the Japanese are about as obsessed with American culture as the reverse. Theres tons of English words and phrases transliterated to fit the grammar, and its pretty easy to figure out what theyre saying if its transliterated back. That, and you cant even count how many random English words are sprinkled throughout popular series and music.As for the tendency for dubs to have some awkward grunts and incidental vocalizations, thats gotten much better over the years as dubbing practices ha ve improved and directing has gotten better.Since youve not heard of those examples Ive listed, I have to wonder what was the last chronological dub you have heard?

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion The latest chronological dub Ive watched is probably Naruto shippuden which is still ongoing in the west, but almost over in Japan I think. Where fighting and such sounds are concerned, that is one category of acting I can say I have never found a satisfactory dub for to match the Japanese. Its probably because of how much Kiai figure into martial arts and martial arts have a much firmer place in Japanese culture. As a martial artist myself I can appreciate that in dubs, all the so-called kiai are horribly executed... hahaha. With regards to the KM player, what seems to be the problem? Also Darkabomination, Im curious... do you know any Japanese at all?

Re: Anime discussion That does make sense, martial arts are still a bit foreign for the west. Still, Naruto has about as much in common with realistic martial arts as Sailor Moon does with astrophysics.As for knowing Japanese, I dont know much aside from probably picking out 1 word out of 10. Im more knowledgeable about culture and history.As for KM, Ive tried using f2 and generally trying any key combination I could think of to go into preferences so itll have the text to speech working, but havent gotten anything even with the review cursor. I use nvda for the record.On a previous point, it is indeed amusing that Japanese viewers act the same way when it comes to subbing western cartoons. For instance in the MLP FIM fandom, the Japanese fanbase has been critical of their dub, along with the standard anime practice of making Jpop tracks for opening and closing sequences, theyd prefer to have the original English theme, since its iconic not t o mention shorter so they wouldnt have to edit out 2 minutes of each episode to fit the new songs.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Niall, depends on how much vision you have... assuming you have none, the best advice I can give is to download a program called the KM player and use its feature that allows the reading of any external subtitles you might have. Cant write too long of an explanation, but that should be a good starting point. And what youll come to realize is that many terms in anime, especially science fiction anime... are actually borrowed from English. Some anime that I recommend are:Jojos Bizarre AdventureRurouni KenshinClaymoreBamboo BladeYu-gi-o (Japanese version)Those are all good starts, imo, since most of them are fairly short... and its also a good idea to try out some of the really well known ones EG Naruto, Bleech, etc.Daigonite, if youre sighted... then why dont you simply watch the Japanese versions of anime with subtitles? Thatd be the best way to appreciate it in its original context... or at least the original imagining of the character voices if not the cultural aspect Many of my friends simply dont watch dubs... because if the Japanese option is there, might as well take it. and Yu-gi-o is actually only darker and serious in the American rendition. the Japanese version has brighter and more cheery music, not to mention differently designed cards and completely different character names than the later American localizations, as well as different lines and even some event changes. As to Joey / Jonouchis sister, I dont think the anime actually states that shes blind... just that she had sergery for her eyes. Though since she does seem to marvel at the fact of being able to see after taking off the bandages, it might be just cataracts as you suggested... since I cant find any other explanation for her quick healing and like you said, her lack of visual issues in flashbacks. lol URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=196461#p196461 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion assault_freak, a lot of context is lost in translation, because language usually cant really be translated directly from one to the other. Then you get things like puns and idioms. I know some anime that most English Speakers dont understand the meaning or context because it is lost in the translation from Japanese. It also depends on the quality of the translation but even the best ones will lack the actual meaning of the original work.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion I dont do many anime, primarily because theyre not described, but:Code Geass was really, really good for season one. Then the executives meddled and it was kind of good for season 2. Still, its worth it by far just for the first season.The original Fullmetal Alchemist is kind of lame at the ending, but otherwise good. Its also very slow. If trying Fullmetal Alchemist, jump straight to Brotherhood and do that because its both better in all respects and faster-paced after episode 12 or so; and the ending of Brotherhood is actually one of the few endings that (1) doesnt use Deus Ex Machina and (2) is probably something you can see coming if youre clever. Brotherhood matches the original Anime through the factory ark, reaching it around episode 12 and ending it around episode 14 as I recall, and then changes the plot completely to match the original source manga. Both Fulmetal Alchemist animes are good without description.Planetes is probably one of the strangest anime Ive ever done, being as it is about debris section, also known as garbage men in space. Its interesting because most of the issues discussed are issues that are coming up for us in the next hundred years, assuming we actually keep our space programs around, and there is no faulty science that I could spot.I didnt like any of the other .hac// series, but .hack//sine was interesting. This one is very ymmv without descriptive, being as it is very visual. Its also kind of strange in that the plot takes a backseat to the social interactions, and really its just strange and theres no better description.Last Exile is good. Not sure what else to say about it. Its not super deep, but its fun.If you like the fighting anime, there is a somewhat obscure one called Yu Yu Hakusho. It starts out with a completel y different atmosphere for the first few episodes, and then looks like its going to typical naruto territory. Then, about halfway through, it dives off the cliff of darkness and, near the end, our hero stops considering demons evil even though they eat people, primarily because it only means were not at the top of the food chain, another one uses psychological warfare to kill an 8-year-old because hes in their way and if they dont the world will end, and well. That last one is among the most disturbing things Ive seen on TV. Unfortunately, the ending--as in so many of these--was rushed. I believe this is one of the few where the English dub is of higher quality, primarily because it was dubbed a very long time after its original release.Other than that, there arent many that actually stuck out.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Daigonite, as someone who speaks both languages, I guess that it doesnt always occur to me, although speaking from the same bilingual position, I dont necessarily agree that translations always get lost. I have seen some anime that actually manage to capture the nuances pretty well, occasionally... if not with the exact same lines then with something which is near the equivalent. I can understand why some people would prefer dubs, especially as you say because subtitles are really distracting. Again, one of the things that dont occur to me even though my Japanese is only slightly above the lower intermediate level. It just makes it easier to find anime that isnt released or well known here in the west, like Jojos Bizarre adventure, just as one example.The 4 kids dub of Yu-gi-o was what I grew up with, and I actually still enjoy it... and Kaiba is actually just as crazy in the Japanese version as he is in the English one, just more subtlely. lol But going back to what we were talking about in terms of being lost in translation... Yu-gi-o was actually one of the ones that made me angry because of the fact that so much was mistranslated on purpose. Sure most people wont care, but some people find it odd, myself included. but to each their own. lol I dont exactly remember how much Joeys sister needed for surgery in the original but yes, 300 is a little much. hahaha.Yu-yu Hakusho was actually quite good, I enjoyed it... but short anime will still be my favorites as to anything over 100 episodes with Jojo being an exception. For the sake of everyone who is totally blind here or doesnt prefer subtitles... I wish it was dubbed, because its something that so many people miss out on... and is one of the best anime character and plot wise that I know of. For those people who like action though, Sengoku Basara is also another one to check out, based on the video game series by Capcom.

At least the 4Kids Yu-gi-oh has some entertainment value. The most butchered dub I ever watched though was something called Duel Masters. I never watched the Japanese version, but for whatever reason the translators decided to put in all these meta/4th wall jokes and load the thing with silly references. Theres literally one edited section where a boy goes flying, and they added him going into space, hitting a space station, and the line Houston, we have a problem plays.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Yeah, I guess you cant have both unless you speak both... or unless youre blind and dont care. lol I would say I pretty much watch nothing but action, but some dialog in certain anime are so good as to be basically subtle commentary for fights. lolYikes... that sounds bad. I have never heard of that particular anime, but it sounds like something 4 kids would do... but if you want to check out one anime that has the most amount of meta / 4th wall / puns you will ever hear translated well and in a superbly entertaining fashion, I would recommend an anime called bobobo-bo bo-bobo. Yes, you read that right... this is probably the weirdest and most over-the-top anime / manga I have read about. Even in Japan, this one doesnt usually come up in discussion unless you are absolutely nuts or just weird. I found this anime first when I saw the main character in a fighting game on the ps3... and decided with a name like that, I had to look it up. and holy crap., .. it is wildly entertaining, but I swear whoever wrote it was high, at the very least...

Re: Anime discussion I have no vision as well, but I find sounds and dialog enough to go on most of the time, especially if theres a lot of dialog during fights that essentially tell you whats happening.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion Dont see a dropbox link, but the subtitles have to be external, meaning the best way for you to download episodes like that would be to use bit torrent. There are three boxes... you checked all thre, which is a problem.. because you only need to check the box that says read the movie subtitles comprised of text, not the one about messages or filename at the start of playback. External subtitles are one of two options... the other is with anime which have the extention of .mkv, since those are for some reason the only ones that have internal subtitles that can be read aloud. External subtitles are usually .srt files, which are basically just text files with the subtitle text and time stamps that have the same name as the movie / episode file itself. And youre welcome.

Re: Anime discussion
Re: Anime discussion I just got back from a year long exchange in Japan, so now my Japanese is passible, so Ive been trying to find anime or Japanese dramas that interest me to keep the language skills up. I dont have the money to buy it, so I find it online, but do any of you know how I could access the english subtitles? I find the female characters arent so hard to understand, as they generally anunciate everything clearly, but the guys mumble and use a lot of slang and abbreviate their words, making it really tricky, and the more complex fantasy or science fiction anime has a lot of vocabulary that Im not familiar with. So does anyone have any suggestions? My favourite anime that Ive seen recently is Clannad, and the second season, Clannad After Story. Its more of a slow paced, slice of life anime but with a lot of depth and character development. I find I really identify with the characters as even though they are not disabled, many of them are a little eccentr ic and have trouble fitting in with normal society. I will warn you there are some huge tearjerkers in the second season, but its all worth it.
