I already said I'm not gonna reply to Saturate, but can someone answer my question, please? I'm fairly new (okay, completely new) to legal acquiring of Anime, so I don't really know about the American studios.
Now that that is out of the way, I'd like to ask if Aniplex English Dubs are good? I had thought I had asked this before, but a search through the thread proved not. Also, I hear Aniplex is pretty pricy, is it true?
Aniplex of America charges the most out of any R1 company, and they don't often do dubs, but they usually use Bang Zoom! for their English dubs, and I tend to like what Bang Zoom! dubs so I'd say Aniplex does good dubs. I have only bought Oreimo. Madoka's pricepoints($20 to $30 for a 4 episode DVD) weren't that bad but paying $150 for Bakemonogatari or Garden of Sinners was just too out of my pricerange. I am hoping that Aniplex USA either brings them under $100 or at least does a dub so I can justify buying it.
However, Aniplex of America licenses pretty good shows to great shows and theya re good about making their series available for streaming on Crunchyroll and a few other legal sites so you don't have to blind buy a series.

p.s most of the animes I saw arent in my MAL,my MAL is pretty new,and I didnt have patience to add all of the animes I saw,but I watch animes for years.
But i thought you said to me..........
and you are an expert?
your MAL doesnt say so.
Make up your mind buddy. You have been contradicting yourself again and again. Just a simple example. You don't even know what you are saying anymore. Your are way too pathetic.

I'm done in this thread, I don't think he will ever get it. I've proved him wrong, and so have others, and he's failed to refute properly.
This thread is completely derailed (my fault), and I am on the verge of reporting it. I think it's time we pack up and go home. You can't argue with someone who has the egocentric mentality of a six year old.

I must say,its time for someone like you to respond,at last,someone I can really discuss with.
ok,you can say elfen lied isnt a masterpiece,elfen lied is very controversial anime,some say it is a masterpiece,and some say it isnt,but overall,saying elfen lied is a masterpiece isnt absurd like saying SAO is a masterpiece,I think there are few levels between them(you can say its a matter of opinion,but I dont really think you can try to make a comparison between the animes),elfen lied at least has a message,has something the writer wants to deliever us,I always thought that animes with a message are of a better quality(not all of the times though),I dont think you can make a comparison between an anime like SAO and elfen lied,SAO doesnt even have a common sense,the characters often act in an unsuitable way to their personalities,and there is alot more to say.
you are right,masterpiece can differ from person to person,but not in SAO case,SAO is just several levels below(because all of the reasons I said and more).
once an anime has the basic terms,whether it is a masterpiece or not is arguable,SAO doesnt have those terms.
Ok, first, back up the claims against SAO, cause i don't recall anything that contradicts their character. And again, you are taking your own subjective views and making them sound like objective fact. One flaw in a show, can be a positive thing to the another. I know some people that think the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion was actually good.
Also, your terms for being a masterpiece doesn't apply to everyone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_projection_fallacy
I must go now,I will answer later.

saying elfen lied is a masterpiece isnt absurd like saying SAO is a masterpiece
I think there are few levels between them
masterpiece can differ from person to person,but not in SAO case,SAO is just several levels below
So, what is it? Are lesser beings allowed to have their own opinion or is your expert opinion (that is supported by the incredibly high number of 70 completed shows) still absolute?
the characters often act in an unsuitable way to their personalities
I can't think of a single instance that would support your claim.
ok,so I dont think there are few levels between them,there are few levels between them,SAO doesnt even have common sense.
the writer is trollnig the audiences too oftenly,and the last episode was one of the most unreliable things i have seen(kirito vs sugo in real life)
p.s most of the animes I saw arent in my MAL,my MAL is pretty new,and I didnt have patience to add all of the animes I saw,but I watch animes for years.

I will make it quick,I didnt contracdict myself.
If you read all I wrote,you should have known I didnt.
seems alot of people feel butthurt because of me attacking SAO fans.
alright,I said its fine to like SAO,its not fine to think SAO is a masterpiece,thats all I tried to say all this time.
you can like SAO,you cant consider it a masterpiece,obviously,some people rate the show because of their enjoyment,and thats fine,but TOO much people rate the show as a masterpiece because they really think its a masterpiece,thats what crazes me about SAO.
and just for you to know,I stop reading what you wrote when I saw this line: '"It is fine to like SAO." "People who rate SAO highly are fools."
I will be clearer for people like you who cant understand my intention-the people who really think SAO is a masterpiece are fools,people who rate the show high because of their enjoyment,arent,you can like the show,you cant consider it a masterpiece though.
the characters development is horrible,the sexual level is too much for the age of most of the audiences,most of the actions in SAO are ridiculous,the beating in the last episode was just extreamly ridiculous,no authenticity at all.
I personally don't think EL is a masterpiece, i think its pretentious, and fails with its genre mixing. I see it as a Sora no Otoshimono with blood and gore trying to give a message about the darker side of humanity. You can probably argue otherwise. The definition of masterpiece can differ from person to person, and they set the bar for that themselves. It's still a subjective matter, and you make it seem your ideals are objective fact.

I wasn't planning on interfering on this little "debate" you guys have been having, but Saturate, something you said ticked me off somewhat. You said that
I dont think Im superior like you,I just understand the fact that not everyone is good in one thing,people who dont understand in anime shouldnt express their stupid opinions until they earn enough knowledge in the subject,then they can express their opinion.
From what I could interpret from this "discussion", I'm taking that you believe yourself to be educated in Anime and are intelligent, yes? But, believe it or not, you kept ridiculing yourself by means of contradiction.
First you say that it is fine to like SAO. Then you say that it shouldn't be rated as highly as it is. I've read what you said earlier and you didn't seem to find where you were contradicting yourself. Here is how you were doing so; "It is fine to like SAO." "People who rate SAO highly are fools." You also made this seem to be a fact. Here's the thing, it's not. A fact is something that can be proven with evidence. The only evidence you have is that you didn't like SAO, but these "fools" did. What you are suffering from here is not the disease called "Intelligence", but rather a virus that goes by the name of "Don't you dare like what I don't".
Before you go making me the fool, know this. I rate everything I watch based purely on entertainment. Thus, I rated SAO a 7. It's not the best anime out there, but it certainly is not the worst. And again, before you call me a fool, I'd like to tell you that in no way is a person with an IQ of over 140 a "fool". And before you go calling me "uneducated" in the "art of anime", know this also. I've watched over twice the amount of anime you have, so you really aren't in a position to call me so.
One more thing; to be intelligent is not to insult and berate others for their stupidity, but to be able to acquire and apply knowledge. What you have been doing is not applying your knowledge, but rather berating your opinion and trying to make them facts. To be intelligent you have to be accepting of all opinions so that you can acquire more knowledge to apply. In your arrogance, you have simply been making a fool out of yourself.
Now that that is out of the way, I'd like to ask if Aniplex English Dubs are good? I had thought I had asked this before, but a search through the thread proved not. Also, I hear Aniplex is pretty pricy, is it true?
P.S. Saturate, don't bother replying to my post. It goes against my code to "discuss" anything with idiots. I'd rather not be brought down to your level, as a wise man once said.

the average person doesnt need to think its good
,I know nothing about guitars,so proffesional guitar players dont sound good ot me
,in my opinion,they just arent good.
thats why people who do understand in guitars shouldnt give a shit about my opinion,
because I dont understand in guitars.(I have a friend who is very good in playing guitar,but i dont think its good,I dont understand in the subject,thats why nobody should give a shit about what I have to say that relates to guitars.
to RedKeys-I can answer everything you wrote,
but I think im wasting my time,I explained why some people's opinions should be ignored,and yet,you are just repeating yourself 'how dare you.....bla bla bla'
and how ironic,the idiots you said you hate protect you,lol(im talking about dragon slayer)
I didnt deduce you hate idiots because of your previous messages,you idiot.
I deduce you hate idiots because of your MAL profile.
you didnt refute anything I wrote,I just find it a waste to answer all of your shit,I dont have time for this.
I will answer few things though.
I like music,I like movies,but I cant tell which music is a masterpiece and which isnt,Im just hearing what I enjoy of,thats no good music,though.
thats why I said earlier-you can love SAO,like I do like shitty music(even though its sound good to me I understand its shit),but you cant say its a masterpiece,its no good anime.
what doesnt make sense?If I hear a good guitar player I might not enjoy it,its not my style,I enjoy shitty bands where only the singer does something.
Jan 2, 2013 6:53 AM by Saturate
Wow,DragonSlayer,you are so stupid I dont know if I should reply.
I just explained why some people's opinions dont count,and yet, you wrote 'How dare you. People are not allowed to have opinions? What the fuck?'
Wrong person kid!!! Are your eyes as bad as your language skills??? Seriously don't try to embarrass yourself more by saying nonsense............well that's all you can do after Red_Keys beat you into a pulp like that. Seriously you shouldn't even argue after that if you were a tiny bit intelligent(?).
The guy doesn't understand the difference between opinions and advice. The guitar one for example, they should care about your opinion, cause if they are aspiring to be a professional at it, the average person must think it's good. Giving advice on a subject you know nothing about, however, is bad.

How retarded and childish can you be Saturate? Also i don't really care who hates me, if someone is right then i support him. Btw didn't you realize it yet.............you are one of the Biggest Idiots around here!!!
You can't even make a proper point and call other people idiots. You are nothing but a stupid child in my opinion. Grow up!!!

And Saturate, good job proving me wrong. Oh wait.

I already said I'm not gonna reply to Saturate, but can someone answer my question, please? I'm fairly new (okay, completely new) to legal acquiring of Anime, so I don't really know about the American studios.
Now that that is out of the way, I'd like to ask if Aniplex English Dubs are good? I had thought I had asked this before, but a search through the thread proved not. Also, I hear Aniplex is pretty pricy, is it true?
Aniplex of America charges the most out of any R1 company, and they don't often do dubs, but they usually use Bang Zoom! for their English dubs, and I tend to like what Bang Zoom! dubs so I'd say Aniplex does good dubs. I have only bought Oreimo. Madoka's pricepoints($20 to $30 for a 4 episode DVD) weren't that bad but paying $150 for Bakemonogatari or Garden of Sinners was just too out of my pricerange. I am hoping that Aniplex USA either brings them under $100 or at least does a dub so I can justify buying it.
However, Aniplex of America licenses pretty good shows to great shows and theya re good about making their series available for streaming on Crunchyroll and a few other legal sites so you don't have to blind buy a series.
I see, thanks for the info. I might not have to splash so much money after all if it is available on legal streaming sites (hopefully).
