Should I watch the anime The Future Diary dubbed or subbed?

[vishna]

I'm trying to get into an anime because I rewatched Fullmetal Alchemist and want to start something new.

Also, if you could recommend anything I would be happy.

Also, is The Future Diary any good?

Thanks :)

In my opinion the sub was much better than dub. The dub's voices were too old for the characters in my opinion. The sub also really uhh "captures" the essence of the female character in the later episodes. (That's a good thing-- You'll see what I mean).
The Future Diary/Mirai Nikki was something I actually really enjoyed. It had a good mix of action, blood, comedy, and creepiness. It also has a decent ending that wraps things up. It feels like the end was set well.

I have tons of recommendations so just tell me anytime if you need more. However, off the top of my head, I'd start Steins;Gate. It seems like not much is happening at the beginning, but trust me and just watch until the end. So intense. I don't know your taste, but this anime has been my favorite out of all the ones I've ever seen. It has a great blend of comedy, super intense drama, action, and even has some romance -- but not too overpowering.

Other than that, the big ones that I found to be good...
-Death Note (has a good dub too!)
-Black Buter (also has a really good dub)
-Attack On Titan (a bit 'mainstream' but deserves it's praise. I suggest sub)

The big three (Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece) are decent for awhile. But after watching episode after episode they can seem stretched out. Then they throw in fillers and filler arcs, like a friggin ninja ostrich in Naruto, and things start to drag on. Those are good things to watch when there is nothing else on.

My site for watching anime has changed over the years. Crunchyroll works for some people, but it doesn't have everything and how the premium membership works is annoying. I suggest animenova. org for finding an anime if animeshow. tv doesn't have it -- with adblocker naturally. Animeshow goes in had while animenova is more reliable but only in like 480p.

If you need any more help, pm or comment, and I can recommend more stuff or talk about stuff in more clear detail!

Thanks! I got into Bleach when it first came to the states. But I missed a few episodes, got lost and stopped. My boyfriend also really liked One Piece. I've heard so much about Death Note and Attack on Titan. And Black Butler is supposed to be really good. Thanks again :) !

[dangerDoge]

Yep no problem! I watch a lot of anime so I like answering these questions.

I actually really liked bleach, but it had the worst fillers and then had drawn out filler arcs too. One Piece is alright, but it also drags on after awhile... And there is friggin Usopp. I hate Usopp. I always found it funny too how after they beat someone up horribly they're like "Don't worry guys! He isn't dead, just beat up." to keep it more kid-friendly haha

Oh, by the way were you looking for any genre in particular? I can direct you to a more solid choice if you are. Otherwise, the ones mentioned are really nice.

[vishna]

I like things that are funny but dark at times or serious. I've enjoyed Cowboy Bebop, Space Brothers, Fullmetal Alchemist, and I watched Inuyasha as a kid (it's still a fun watch) But I like things with good stories that can be dark or supernatural. Also, is Brotherhood any good? I hate the animation style and don't like the story compared to the first series. Is it worth a try? I'm open to anything as long as it isn't cutesy.

[dangerDoge]

I watched the original one that came out first like you did. I could never get into Brotherhood because the animation kept bothering me. I was so used to the first that everyone's faces seemed... round.
I didn't particularly care for Brotherhood too much, but some people regard that as their best anime of all time so I don't know. I think it is because I watched the first one beforehand like you.

Ahh Inuyasha, the guilty pleasure anime I had when I was younger 😅. As for something similar to Cowboy Bebop, I would say Trigun. That would fit that.

However, something funny but dark at times? Steins;Gate. Please watch Steins;Gate. It is my favorite anime and oh my gosh it so good.

So my most recommended to less recommended after you've watched Mirai Nikki/Future Diary or whatever...
-Steins;Gate
-Trigun
-Code Geass (also has good dub. Lots of action, has comedy and action)
-Attack On Titan
-Death Note (this ranks as one of my top ones, but it goes more into psychological/supernatural drama)

[vishna]

Yeah, the animation is so hard to get over. It's round and glossy, compared to the first at least. I've heard about Trigun, is it very good? Also, I've heard sooo much about Death Note and I watched maybe 3-4 episodes and it was really good. I'm really interested in Steins;Gate now and also Death Note.

[dangerDoge]

Death note has a ridiculously awesome first season and a good, but not great second season. I suggest watching the first season at least. The first 3 or 4 episodes get you an idea for how it stays for the rest.

[dangerDoge]

Thanks for MHO :)

[vishna]

You're welcome :)

Subbed if far better than dubbed in my opinion. You get to hear the characters the way the creators intended them to be. And some dubs are worse than others. FMA had a good dub but Cowboy Bebop for example while good missed the mark. If you can tolerate the Japanese language always go for subbed.

[Yc2K15]

Have you seen Attack on Titan + samurai champloo? Damn son

[vishna]

I haven't. I just started Black Butler too. But Attack on Titan is next on my list after I finish BB or TFD.

[Yc2K15]

wow prepare to be blown away ! its so sick!

[Streamhopper]

I watch all my anime subbed. I like hearing the original voice actors and it helps me keep up with Japanese slang. I haven't watched that one, so I don't know if it's good or not, but I do watch a lot of anime.

[vishna]

I heard the main female character's voice was very high and babylike. I dislike this type of voice. Do you think I should see it through. Also, are most female anime character's voices high and babylike? I liked Space Brothers in Japanese.

[Streamhopper]

Doesn't hurt to at least try a sample of it and see if you like it, you can always switch over to dubbed if you don't. And it really depends on the anime, if it's cutesy, it'll be more likely to have a voice like that than say, something like a mecha anime.

[vishna]

These terms fly over my newb head. There's a lot of blood in this anime. Anyways :) thank you very much for your advice.

[Streamhopper]

Sure. Let me know how you like it! =^.^=

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Subbed all the way dubbed in many respects is embarrassing.

[GrooveSick]

Watch in Japanese :D
And I found it awesome

[vishna]

My idea (I've only just finished the first episode) is that Yuno wants to protect Yukki so she can find all the other players (as they target him) and then kill him herself. But who knows, that's only from the first episode. Don't tell me if I'm wrong haha. @GrooveSick

[GrooveSick]

I hated her, but it was a good anime!

[vishna]

I'm so off haha. I was so so off. But yea, I still hate her. She's so annoying. @GrooveSick

[Michael_Rc46]

Subbed. They always sound weird dubbed and for most anime it's behind
