Just Saiyan.

No. Bad. Wrong. Do not do that thing.

But it's all I ever think about when I say "Saying"...

[JoshuaFH]

Watched Riding Bean, an awesomely old school anime OVA.

Just how deliciously cheesy and nostalgic the opening and ending themes are, bright up my whole day.

[ToonyMan]

Finished volume 19 of Berserk, going at a pace of a little over 2 volumes per day on average.

Spoiler: current arc thoughts (click to show/hide)

Serpico is too cool.  Reminds me of Koizumi (Haruhi) and Snake (999) and Ling (FMA) and Edgeworth (AA) all wrapped in a package.

Ferneze is cool too because she's clearly sadistic but doesn't want to be.  Also general awesomeness yaddha yaddha Azan is ULTIMATE KNIGHT



I PLANNED ALL THE ADVANTAGES, ALL OF THEM

Jerome has been way cooler than he gives himself credit too while Nina is suuch a wimp and pathetic.

I miss the Band of the Hawk...Corkus...Griffith...Judeau...Pippin... :[

[IronyOwl]

Toony you're nearly caught up to me. WHY AM I SO BEHIND?

Serpico is too cool.

I know. That's one of the awesome things about Berserk; Guts isn't the only awesome badass around, even if he's mostly the best.

Also now I vaguely want to know who those other people you're comparing him to are, but I don't want to have to read that much manga. :I

When did it hint that she didn't want to be? I noticed her realizing she was completely worthless a lot, but I don't remember anything about UH THIS IS NOT NORMAL STOP THAT.

I know. Judeau in particular was just too awesome. :[

[ToonyMan]

Well...

If she fully accepted what she liked she wouldn't be restraining herself would she?  I wouldn't be.  She hates herself about it too.

Also if it's any relief I haven't really been doing anything with my free time but read Berserk.  I almost didn't finish an English essay I had to do because of it.

EDIT:
Oh and awesome song in the SZS OST.  I love that opening.

And if I'm sharing links I might as well share this Fukumoto Baccano OP.

[JoshuaFH]

I'm telling you Toon, the Fukumoto Baccano is too awesome. It's like if all the members of the Justice League made a baseball team, and entered the Big Leagues. It just wouldn't be any fair to the puny mortal baseball teams.

I oddly enough have only seen one "Super powered Sports" and it was interesting in that... Everyone had super powers yet Soccor was EXACTLY the same.

So the players actually had to learn how to kick the ball without destroying it. The main character could play hackie sac with a egg without breaking it.

Think you're talking about Shaolin Soccer. Stephen Chow movies are super awesome.

Yes, yes they are. Doubly so when they start invoking anime tropes in the use of said powers. The final match against Evil Team was like something straight out of DBZ (only with less "yelling while charging up power for five minutes")

I'm almost never in this thread, but while I was searching for a translated manual for my rice cooker (I ♥ U Zojirushi!), I came across this:



A manga/anime about making bread.

Neonivek has the power to make anything sound bad.  I really enjoyed Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle.

Baking bread in the most impossible manners!
And not to mention the reactions ensuing after tasting such breads!

Which is hillarious because I actually liked Shaolin Soccer (And Kung Fu Hustle but I never mentioned that). Basically whether I like or hate something it will come out as wretched.

Yakkate Japan however... I still don't know if I liked or hated it... because the series did devolve at one point and a lot of the jokes were puns that you had to be Japanese to understand. While at the same time I did honestly love it. It really got a love/HATE reaction from me (though I watched the anime)

As for making bread in impossible manners. I will actually outright say for the most part... No. All the bread in that anime is real and can be made by ordinary people with a few exceptions (Such as the bread the Mime makes)

[RedKing]

Yeah, linguistic puns tend to be epic fail in translation. I remember an old episode of Ranma 1/2 where for some reason, Genma (in panda form) winds holding a plate of steamed bread (pan). One of the other characters walks up, looks this over, then says,

Pan da. (lit. "bread is there")
Panda! (i.e. "You're a panda!")

The English subtitle translation was "There's bread! And you're the breadwinner!".

Gotta give some localizers credit.  The professional ones can really try to figure a way out.  I mean even the amateur ones too.  In the Dangan Ronpa LP Oren has been doing pretty well making things sound good.

CABBAGES ARE GREEN

The major way I see professionals get around, for example, Japanese phrases that are short but long in English is often Off screen talking.

This is especially noticable in the official Digimon Dubs. At least I think that is what they did. I should check the original japanese.
