New series

Monday, April 18th, 2005 | Uncategorized

So I talked to an old friend I have not talked to in a long time. Told him I had grown interested in Anime again. He reccomended a series called Samurai Champloo. So I went and downloaded 8 episodes that were released with Dual Audio (meaning I can listen to them in english.)

It is Fantastic…. It is made by the same people who make Cowboy Bebop. Which is one of the greatest anime series ever… However after I finished the 8 episodes I wanted more. Well it’s a 26 episode series, 17 of them were released in Japan, and 8 in America. So I decided to go to animeondvd.com and find out when the next episodes would be released.

Wow, now I remember what it was like before torrents were invented and you pretty much had to wait forever for new episodes to come out domestically. Next four episodes come out 5/31, then four more on 7/31. There were no more on the release list yet, but we can probably assume that this series won’t be done till next year!!!!!!

Bah, what a crock of shit, so now I will probably end up watching the rest of the episodes in Japanese with subtitles. It’s not that I have a problem with doing that, but when i start a series It is nice to stay consistent. Take Berserk for example. I watched this series a million times in Japanese, then one time I tried to watch it in English to show a friend that didn’t want to screw with the subtitles. The badass main character does sound evil or mean anymore like he did in the Japanese and it did not seem right.

Same thing happened with Cowboy Bebop. I watched the entire series in English, and then I wanted to watch the movie, which wasn’t slated for American release for a Long time. So I watched that in Japanese and it was just kinda strange, like it was different characters or something.

Oh well, there are worse things in the world to have a problem with than this.
