The menu on the right side is Voice Settings, but I don't know who any of these characters are.  Each slider is for a specific character except for the 2 on the bottom right, in which case the upper one is "other male voices", and the lower one is "other female voices"

Re-watching Nagasarete Airantou

Re-watching Nagasarete Airantou

I have a problem with some of the shows I've bought from Funimation. Things like video quality problems, and translation quality problems. For example, my Mahou Sensei Negima has this noticeable analog noise throughout. Not digital noise, but analog. I don't know why it's there. It shouldn't be. Another one I remember was Moon Phase. That one had a translation which was worse than the fansub, plus it had lots of digital noise There are a lot of dark, shadowy scenes and you could see blocks and bands both. I haven't had that kind of trouble with ADV, Bandai Visual, AnimEigo, Nozomi, Geneon, or Pioneer. Or Sentai Filmworks so far, but I need a larger sample size to be sure. DVDs are not HD, but I have anime DVDs that are clear as crystal. If I can't trust a company with DVDs, how could I trust them with Blu-rays?
So it's true there are less good companies to buy new anime now, but I make up for it with used anime. With used anime I save about 1/3 of the price, and it seems like anime fans take care of their discs very well. I think only one time I had to put something back because the discs were all scratched. All the rest of the time, my used discs have been perfect.
Finally, I don't care that Funimation is the main dubbing company. I never listen to dubs. Yes, all that time and all that expense on English voice actors--completely wasted on me. Because I don't need or want it.

I get the fansubs, copy them to a PC in my living room hooked up to my TV, and watch them. If I like the show, I burn it to a DVD (or recently, a BluRay). If not, it gets deleted. If I show I like comes out in the U.S. and it's not from Funimation, I get it. I watch those on the same PC. But I still keep the fansub if the subs are different, unless the fansub is really old and blurry, and then I may toss it.
I have an LD player that was a giveaway, but no anime for it. Occasionally I meet someone who lets me borrow their LDs.
I still have some anime on VHS. I'm not sure what to do with it, so it just sits in a box in the closet.

Hi Metaler, glad to know you (I'm also a longtime anime/manga fan who learned some Japanese)



Saw it. That was one of my first animes, too! Except I saw it circa 1994, on SCI-FI cable channel
