When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

western "gaijin" animation is pretty bad in general. i just hate the sorta batman/DC look everything has
nothing on the level of mob psycho or something

spiderverse is probably the best recent one i can think and personally i wasn't a huge fan since the faces were boring and they need a better gpu cause it only ran at like 7fps???
good soundtrack though

Not a fair comparison, really.

some people linked to examples of good animation in the invincible thread and drat some of those animes are animated extremely well in comparison, that along with the seemingly endless supply of it makes me wish i liked anime

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
Any dub that takes itself seriously is a crime. The direction of the voice actors in the original language is nearly always so much better it's laughable.

I love corny dubs on cheap kids stuff like Pokemon, but anything you want to take notice of should be the original language track in my opinion.

cowboy bebop and black lagoon dubs are way better than the originals, something which even the creators recognize

Strong disagree about Bebop, I'm Australian and the different voice actors make the characterisations completely different.

been genuinely surprised lately how much i dislike english anime dubs because they seem to change the intent a lot compared to the original

teasing master takagi is the worst one because she goes from being enigmatic and largely reactive to kind of a bullying rear end in a top hat im honestly not sure anyone bothered to tell the dubbing cast the shows supposed to be a cute middle school romance and not like death note with harmless pranks

Exactly my feeling

E: Spike in Bebop goes from a world-weary, laconic personality to a snide rear end in a top hat to my ear. And Ed goes from a quirky, hyper but sweet kid to a menace

good soundtrack though

that was actually an artistic choice. all the characters are animated at half the standard frames per second but their static or repeating frames are moved across the 1x FPS backgrounds, which they did to replicate the way movements occur in stop motion animation.

mind you, a tricky choice because the first time I watched it I instinctively started diagnosing my tv playback settings

Yeah, it's personal preference. But I'm sure they worked their arses off to get it to look just how they wanted it and I think the result is the best western animation ever.

the animation is loving awesome. it's the narrative style/cliches and, especially, the ubiquitous acting conventions I just can't stand. I may be able to tolerate it until some embarrassed/surprised/shocked/disappointed/shy/angry/virtually any emotion character goes like "guh- uh! ..ahh..." which is generally about 3-7 minutes into any given episode or movie

Nick Cannon was caught making anti-semetic remarks on Twitter last year. This is really reminiscent of that.

I think the article I read mentioned an anti-semetic book making the rounds in the rap community about how Jews were heavily connected to the slave trade.
