An Otaku's Guide to Anime & Manga

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some common questions I receive. If you have a question, please read this FAQ first. Thanks!

You don't like dubs, do you?
You got me. ^^;; I prefer the Japanese version to the English version of most titles. This sometimes shows in my reviews, as I usually have more to say about the original version, and what I say about the English version is sometimes negative. But I try not to bash, and I'm always quick to list the things that I did like about the English version.

So where are all the Dub vs. Sub Reviews? There are hardly any!
See the above answer. ^^;; I don't usually watch anime in English, so it takes longer to write up a Dub vs. Sub Review...I have to go out of my way to watch the series, at least once, in English, then check it against the Japanese version.

Are there any series that you like in English?
Yes, actually. I like Slayers, Gundam Wing, Trigun, Gundam: 08th MS Team, Outlaw Star, Gunsmith Cats, Read or Die, and Yoroiden Samurai Troopers in English. Wow...that's more than I though, honestly. ^^;;

Why don't you have an Anime/Manga Series Review listing for [title]? Does that mean you'll never write a review for it?
If there's no listing, that would be because I've never seen/read it. The anime/manga used to write my reviews is from my own collection. Hence, if I don't own it, there won't be a review for it until I do.

I disagree with what you said in your review!
Hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. My reviews contain mine. If you disagree, you're welcome to write up a review of your own, explaining why you disagree. Heck, send it to me, if you want. If I get enough dissenting reviews, I just may start a section for them. ^_^
