![]() So, don't you think it's in their vested interest to produce something that doesn't suck, so people aren't immediately turned off?īut that's all beside the point if you think the 'butchering' I'm referring to has something to do with the dubs though, you obviously don't know enough Japanese to know that the subtitle translation is inaccurate, at best, let alone watch it WITHOUT them. ![]() And on top of that, 99% of the time anime is on TV in the US, it'll be dubbed. By buying a crappy, low-bitrate American anime DVD, I AM PAYING FOR IT. I'd still rather eat glass than watch dubbed anime, but what's wrong with the concept that they SHOULD be able to do a decent dub? I mean, I AM paying for it afterall. What the hell?

This year, a MAJOR part of the cosplaying people was inspired on Naruto. As usual, you have a huge amount of people doing cosplay.
