I guess I should have posted here instead, Iā€™ll just copy/paste my answer here too.


Sent!

A couple of the questions were kind of awkward for me, since Iā€™m rather brand loyal, so I added a full description to those (and others).

Iā€™m going to be honest, when I saw the topic, I got a bit scared that I would have to do something with AT&Tā€™s system.

sorry. diabetic maybe, and it tried to give me cookies. not going to get killed over a survey.

but you know you could always ask directly on the forums anything in a topic and let it be open with a poll attached and forum users, being the only ones that would ever see that survey since it isnt posted on places like tumblr, twitter, etc; could then just answer the important things.

  2. Before clicking on the name of your VOD provider on that page, take note of the tab marked Anime Network Online.

Canā€™t exactly say Iā€™m happy about the 1st dubbed episodes being subscriber-only. Iā€™d get if they just relegated complete dubbed series to subscribers, because thatā€™s what FUNimation still does, and itā€™s very convenient. However, as a dub fan, having to pay a monthly fee just to watch one dubbed episode is kinda pushing it. Being able to see the first episode dub as it debuts for free is much more convenient and practical than having to pay for a crap ton of other shows I probably wonā€™t even watch.

Can you really judge a show accurately based on just 1 dubbed episode?

Thatā€™s not the problem. Thatā€™s what subs are for. Iā€™d like to see how a dub sounds before choosing which version (sub or dub) to commit to. If the dub is terrible (or if there is no dub), Iā€™d watch the subbed version for free. If the dub is at least decent, Iā€™d pay to watch it.

I think judging a dub on just one episode is pushing it, as the actors often take a few episodes to adjust to their roles. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever heard a dub that didnā€™t have a rough first episode, and some were even downright terrible at first. Though I guess if you think someone is really badly miscast than further episodes may not change that, though my opinion of K-On!'s dub did improve with time (though I still consider it only average.)

I canā€™t think of a Bang/Zoom dub that I would say is more than ā€œaverageā€. Maybe Champloo? Dunno. What I do know is that one episode to judge a dub by seems like youā€™re doing yourself (the OP) a disservice. A year of TAN subscription can be obtained for as less than the cost of 2 Sentai releases.

Now that Iā€™m on the subject Iā€™m having difficulty thinking of a show with an actor that I thought, at least initially, was show-breakingly miscast.

So? I hate to sound like I;m bashing AN, but FUNimation still does this practice, and even having certain popular shows fully dubbed (or at least with a substantial amount of episodes) for free on their site (Case Closed, the Dragon Ball franchise, and certain other shows; they rotate from time to time).

Well, TAN also has dubbed shows that entirely free to guests. However, like Funimation, these are older shows. Right now I know Godannar, Kinoā€™s Journey, and a few others are totally free. Though many of them donā€™t have the Japanese version up due to licensing restrictions.

iam excited for all the new content =3
hope theres english dubs along with em

The New Content is very nice, but Iā€™d like to see better picture on the iphone app and I wish the site had better support of other devices. Maybe a Roku app. Just
