What Are You Watching?

Use the thread.

Fixed the title so people won't just glance for a second and go back to their business. Now they'll glance for two seconds.

I said that I'd do an episode of Lupin a day, yet I'm already done with the first series. It's not always very exciting or funny, but it's usually pleasant to watch, and Miyazaki's run was a welcome addition. Overall, pretty good stuff.

I'll start red jacket tomorrow.

I couldn't wait, so I decided to start Part II up tonight, and yikes, the dub isn't very good. Right now, at least, although Fujiko's VA is fine.

Does the dub improve, or am I better off sticking to the sub? Crunchyroll only has up to episode 79 dubbed right now, while they have the whole series subbed. For right now, I'll try out the next ep subbed, and think about whether or not I should give the dub another shot.

[Foggle]

I've never liked any of the Lupin dubs, but it definitely does get better.

[Avaitor]

I think that I'll stick to the sub, then, for consistency's sake.

Also, good news, EK!

In terms of Lupin dubs, the only one I particularly love is the dub for The Woman Called Fujiko Mine.  The Part II dub is not amazing by any means, but it certainly get better over time.  Personally, I prefer watching the dub for the first half because its such a long show to get through, and not having read subtitles makes that easier.

Yeah, I can't wait to see it next month. Between that and Deadpool, February is looking like a relatively good month for movies.

As for Lupin III, I actually enjoy the Red Jacket dub quite a bit, but I also got introduced to the series with that dub, so I have a definite nostalgic attachment to it.

My favorite Lupin dub is still Manga's Cagliostro.

Red Jacket dub is the best for me.

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu continues to be the unabashed winner of the season.

From AR's new anime reviews, Dagashi Kashi managed to catch my interest. It's slow but strangely fun. Hotaru Shidare is a whole lot of crazy (dem eyes!) and will probably be one of the more memorable female characters of this year.

[Avaitor]

So, does Zenigata appear in every episode of Part 2? I really do like the character, but I kind of prefer how he was barely in half of Part 1, since he feels tacked on a lot of the time.

[Foggle]

Yeah, even though he's my favorite character, Parts 2 and 3 kind of overuse Zenigata at times. Fujiko Mine and Part 4 are much more sensible about his inclusion IMO.

[gunswordfist]

Blasphemy.
