Friday faves: English Dub Anime (I know >.< )

Anyone have any Anime that they are happy to watch in Dub form? I first started watching the infamously bad, but one of my guilty pleasures, Sailor Moon English dub as I only thought it was an English cartoon as a kid. Then I joined tumblr and soon found out its Japanese, you would have thought the animation style would have given it away but I hadn't really watched any anime, apart from sailor moon, dragonball z, Chin Chan (OMFG CHIN CHAN) and the odd episodes of Digimon and Pokemon, before my early 20's.

Yes I was in my early 20's BEFORE I started getting into Anime and Manga. Please don't ask why I would just shrug. I guess I never really put much thought into it. I've always loved animation more over any live action show, I literally love Futurama, Simpsons and Family Guy to name a few (Not forgetting Disney and Cartoon Network animation films and their awesome cartoons in the 90's/early 00's), seriously if I went on to tell you how much I prefer animation this would end up being a 5,000 word essay.

Anyway, tumblr re-kindled my admiration for the whole Sailor Moon series. I soon managed to get my hands on the English dub series, only up until Sailor Moon S, anything after that was only in sub form to my dismay. Only recently I've found a whole dub series of Super s! You can imagine the horror I felt knowing I could have watched the dub. But that was a good thing I only just found that now because I wouldn't have been able to watch, maybe, 90% of the anime I watch today.

On my Anime Planet profile I've watched 50(?) different anime titles, most of which are in their original Japanese goodness. Most of the availble dubs I have watched tends to make me want to gouge my ears out because of the over the top kid sounding voice actors, I cant even watch Sailor Moon in the English dub anymore, BUT there are some exceptions for me.

Seto no Hanayome (Or what I know it for "My Bride is a Mermaid")
This was the second dub I actually sat down and watched fully thinking "This isn't so bad, why do people tell you NOT to watch dubs?". The voice acting is great and it doesn't stray away from the storyline at all, still keeping the adult humour too (added bonus).

Black Butler (Kurushitsuji)
THE ENGLISH ACCENTS ARE MY FAVOURITE. I only watched a few episodes before reverting to the sub version, I don't know why I did this! I think it might be because Greill wasn't calling Sebastian "Sebas-Chan". I did watch the specials and ova's in the english dub form and My favourite was the Ciel in Wonderland episodes. I've not giggled so much watching an anime.

Deathnote
I did honestly try watching it in the sub but I just couldn't. Plus at the time I was watching the whole thing with my then boyfriend who was against reading subtitles. Only person I wanted to kill was Misa. Her character is annoying anyway (sorry to her husbandu's).

Kuragehime (Princess Jellyfish)
Again great dub. I loved the characters all being girl outcasts and weird. I secretly wanted Tsukimi and Kuranosuke to be an item.

And Finally: Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!
Cathrine (the blonde German one) was my favourite. Her accent came across better in the dub for sure. I didn't really like the storyline but the comedic value in this was excellent and SUPER ECCHIIIII~ (Probably giving of pervert vibes with all the ecchi I have watched >.< )

If I find more dubs that are worthy of watching I will post about them, but for now I will go back to watching subtitled Japanese gloriousness.

Memory lane: Shit I used to watch on youtube

Can I make a weekly post bragging about shit that happened in the past? Its my blog so I guess so! Sorry guys, nothing really interesting here, unless you want to take a trip down my memory lane with me. Its a little random and might be funny (or not) but its nice writing about happy memories :D

Today's topic is
YOUTUBE VIDEOS 

First stop, YOUTUBE POOP. Who didn't like watching youtube poop videos? I have only ever watched one or two videos, I think, and they have been videos that I have cherished for many a year. My all time favourite is "Ash's retarded adventure".

  LEATHERBELT AHAHH This was the first video I watched and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I have fond memories of laughing my ass off in front of the pc screen in college, trying to get my twin sister and our little group of friends to find it remotely funny. I don't know, but most my life I have found that I'm probably the only one out my friends to find certain videos funny. I would think this whilst laughing so much to the point tears are streaming down my face, questioning "Is there actually something mentally wrong with me?" while my friends are just looking at me, obviously very worried for my mental well being. I felt a complete void in my life when I found out that the video was removed, and any other duplicates of the video had the audio removed due to copyright.

Do I still find this video funny? Yes. The farting cheerleaders, lil old leatherbelt and his screaming, and the cunty pokedex are all still very funny to me.

Ahhh memories.

Okay, what else? Oh! AVENUE Q x NARUTO MUSIC VIDEOOOOooooO

This was one of the FIRST videos I watched on youtube, back when I was 15 in the ict suite one lunch break with my little gang. There was 4 of us and we were all pretty much as random as the other so people dared join our group, we were that cool... I think? (LOL) Anyway, we all thought this was the nuts because it was a song about using the internet... FOR PORN and some random anime that I didn't know of (I was 15 and I didn't really know of much anime), cleverly (or so I thought at the time) put together to make it look like it was actually from this cartoon show. We all laughed so hard when it would come on.

Do I still find this video funny? Uhhh, kinda. Not so much pissing myself laughing, like I would have been 10 years ago, but still funny.

I would post another video BUT I only have funny videos from a few years ago, who wants recent memoires?! LAME!
