Rewatching Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood atm. Genuinely believe it to be the greatest anime out there currently and this just reinforces it.

I only watched the original series, but I do own Brotherhood. I'd watch it in Japanese because I refuse to listen to Ed's English VA.

Oh please watch it. The original did a great job of fleshing out the series very early on but went completely off the rails towards the end because they went past the source material. Brotherhood follows it much more closely, but having the original as reference for early parts of the story is really nice, as brotherhood doesn't flesh it out like the original. Fma is one of the only anime I actually enjoy the English va more than the Japanese. It's probably because I originally watched it in English so I'm more comfortable with that. Almost every other I do prefer the japanese va though. Dbz I could be 50/50 on, everything else I've ever watched its subs>dubs.

If anyone is looking to enjoy japanese anime for the first time, I'd strongly recommend FMA: Brotherhood. In English or Japanese. It's complete on Netflix so it's easily accessible.

It's not about sub vs dub (I usually watch stuff in subs), but that VA is a creepy piece of shit. Plus, his whole court case that he had this year is amazingly inept and the people he hired literally might of been nobodies off the street. Knew nothing and did everything wrong, in hilarious fashion.

While I usually prefer subs, there are some legit good dubs.

I’m well aware. The kids have watched it like 10 times the past three months.

They're doing a live action Powerpuff Girls for the CW. It's going to be a dumpster fire.

How many shitty remakes is this show gonna have

I watched Pinocchio over the weekend for the first time in a while and reaffirmed my belief that it is Disney's greatest film. The animation is stunning today, let alone for 1940. I know this movie is highly regarded by animation historians but it's a shame how overlooked the Walt era stuff is by the general public.

I also can't listen to When You Wish Upon a Star without getting teary. Lot of good, nostalgic memories associated with that song.

Those old Disney films are as good as any animation that's been done, imo. Another classic is the old Gulliver's Travels from 1939.

I’m in a show hole so I watched the 1st episode of the Powerpuff Girls (as one does) last night with my brother. I forgot how hilarious that show is. Mojo Jojo monologued and told the girls exactly how to defeat him. It was ridiculously funny.


“I’m high up here. You can’t get me! You’d probably have to go around me and get behind me. Then you could get me.”

I didn't watch a tremendous amount of Powerpuff Girls as a kid (from CN, I was an Ed Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Lab, and Tom & Jerry junkie myself), but I discovered a few years ago that they did an episode that's pretty much all Beatles references so it's good in my book.

I don’t think it’s overlooked as much as it’s looked down on.
I took a few art classes in college, before dropping out, nothing major. They sort of held an admiration and a disdain for Disney.
Admiration for the original artwork and techniques and disdain for how much animation they reuse across their movies.

We just watched this on YouTube. My daughter enjoyed it, the boys bailed 37 seconds in

My brother watched it when he was a kid and I’d catch snippets of it here & there. Never actively seeked it out myself. It’s pretty funny though. Glad my brother recommended we put it on last night

Yeah, I sought out some more episodes after the Beatles one. I found it enjoyable. I watched it a little as a kid but avoided it mostly because I thought it'd be "girly," but I think it was mostly just advertised that way in retrospect.

You would love beat bugs on Netflix. They base each episode on a beetles song and sing a few beetles songs each episode.

I only watched a handful of those, but I thought it was pretty cool too.

Watching 'Cool World' for the 1st time. Would recommend. 'Coonskin' by Bakshi is also great.

I started it, need to get back to it. Feel like I say that about a lot of things at the moment.
