Kinda figured that was where you were getting your info from Neph. 😛

Linkara's History of the Power Rangers is pretty damn awesome.

Nephthys The Gr8est!!!!!!!!

Well its easier than watching the actual episodes. 😄

I just wish he brought them out faster. 🙁 They're much better than his ATFW stuff.

TheAuraAngel Hegemon

Cheater. Granted, I've only seen a few seasons plus some of the original seasons. Would like to watch In Space and Time Force.

Well, ATFW is actually much more manageable than History of the Power Rangers. He puts a shit ton of effort into the Power Rangers recap. If he just started churning out those instead of ATFW, his uploads would be far apart and considering he is one of the more popular gais, that might be disappointing.

Granted, I never thought reviewing comics was really comparable to games or movies. Just seems like it would be harder to manage. Though he pulls it off quite well, surprisingly enough.

The retrospective is rather fun for seeing how the series evolved after I grew out of it, and Linkara does a nice job of keeping it entertaining. I still don't want to watch any more of the show, but the presentation is interesting.

Well if you don't want to watch Power Rangers, go watch Code Geass!

Power Rangers had its moments after Mighty Morphin. So it's worth a little credit gais. 😛

I know, but just saying, Turbo was easily the worst of the bunch (particularly agree with what you said on some like Dino Thunder). I just wish they had kinda killed off the Power Rangers altogether though (at least as a tv show) after that finale where Zordon released an energy wave upon being slain that purged the galaxy of all the evil that was seen threatening it. Having another PR after that was overmilking, but I guess they couldn't simply let such a 'successful' franchise end with dignity could they?

Its 3.30 minutes in. I recommend watching the other episodes in his retrospective. They are soooooooo good.


Yeah, I saw that part now (or last night rather), but thanks anyway.

And yes, I've watched most of Linkara's summaries on the seasons in the past. Pretty good stuff. Albeit time consuming to watch, but worth it nonetheless.

Or Gundam.

Noooooo

Code Geass.

If this is supposed to take place in British-controlled Japan, why is everyone speaking with American accents?

TheAuraAngel Hegemon

I dunno. You watching dub? 😮

General Kaliero F = ma, beeyotches.

Excepting cases where the dub is exceptionally bad, I prefer watching anime as opposed to reading it.

TheAuraAngel Hegemon

I watch everything with captions on out of habit, so I prefer subs. 😛

Anyway, my guess is American voice actors. 😮

Also, concerning that vid link you posted; is there any way to pause the freaking thing?

You want an in-universe or out-of-universe explanation?

With anime, I too prefer subs in most cases, simply because in a dub, the character's lips do not match up, and/or the voice acting is just shitty. I think DBZ/Kai and the Yu-Gi-Oh!/GX/5D's animes are the only ones where I have preferred the English dub.

That said, if I use subtitles/captions in any program that uses English as the spoken language, I find it distracting.

In Geass 'Brittania' is actually America.

Britian is actually part of the Europian Union.

I can pause it fine. 😮

Is it browser related? Because I cannot pause it, nor can I 'rewind' or 'fast-forward' it either. >_>

Try clicking n the little ATFW symbol in the corner of the video screen. It should send you straight to Blip. You should be fine. It must be a problem on your end if things continue.

So... it's Britannia... which is America... and Britain... isn't Britannia...

I imagine this is All There In The Manual?

I've preferred the dub with Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Fullmetal Alchemist... Gundam Wing I watched the first half subbed, the second dubbed, and while the sub was more serious, the dub was more fun. I liked Gurren Lagann much better dubbed.

Lucky Star was better subbed, and if I could stand One Piece or Naruto I understand the subs are better in those cases.
