Shelf Life - Edo Eights and Heartbreak

@yuna49: Don't forget that, unless something has changed, only the older PS3 models are backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games. AFAIK, the feature was dropped from the slimmed-down models.

I'd definitely second the Ratchet & Clank games though, and add that knowledge of the first few games isn't necessary to enjoy the Future line.

The show also loses points in my book for having two small girls approach the protagonist in episode one begging to marry him.

I wish the show took place on Seiren,

I have watched both seasons of Bravo Girls, and I think it should get the Rental Worthy rating because there are quite some likeable characters in it, while the show has that particular good feel of the late 90s/early 2000 romance comedy anime shows. I think people who can't get Japanese jokes/sense of humor should not watch this, and the English dubs are horrible (in my opinion), especially when the English script and English voice-actors are exaggerating things in order to make the show funnier, but it's obviously not. Don't get me wrong I don't hate dubs at all. Some are pretty good, but some (such as the ones in this Girls Bravo) are plain horrible.

I dunno, I've been an anime fan for 13 years, and honestly, I have NEVER seen [characters shouting fireworks company names] in an anime before. And I've definitely seen more than 10 anime series. Giving an example would definitely not be futile. I'm honestly curious as to what series include this.

Anyone that's seen more than maybe 10 anime series knows this. It's been done so many times that it should be common knowledge. I could give examples if you'd like, but frankly it almost seems like an exercise in futility. It's not nearly as rare as you seem to think it is.

heh, that's an interesting take on Vash... I may have to rewatch again, but I my impression of him was that the goofball part was actually the act, and that was what he was trying hard at. I always though that the moment he bacame serious was the moment that he allowed that cool and ultimately dangerous demeanor to show through... mayhap it's just me.

Trigun is, of course, the show that made voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch a star. He does a fine job as Vash. The dub script is also a nice adaptation of the sub script that keeps the intent but not the verbatim dialog. It's on par with the finer dubs Funimation has been putting out lately.

Bullshit. Animaze's Trigun dub is better than pretty much every dub Funimation's ever done, with the exception of Baccano.

Funimation might measure up to the typical Animaze dub in a few years, but most of the time they're laughably inferior to most Animaze productions.

Nobody dubs anime better than Animaze. Those guys dubbed Cowboy Bebop, Big O, and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, three of the greatest dubs of all time. They also did Outlaw Star, Metropolis, Wolf's Rain, Gundam 0080, and Gundam 08th MS Team, solid dubs all. .

Wow, is there really need for the profanity just because someone states something you may not agree with? Holy crap man.

Since you seem pretty passionate about this, you're gonna be horribly disappointed when you found out this all just your opinion.
