I finished NieA_7, Ah! My Goddess season 2 + a bunch of OVAs and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 last week.
Anyone seen the last Steins;Gate? This is definately one of the best shows I've seen so far this year.
I just started reading/playing the Chaos;Head visual novel, I hope the story is as good as Steins;Gate.
As for manga, I started reading Mirai Nikki (Future Diary), which is an exciting action manga. The anime will air in Fall.
----------------------------------------------
How was Tokyo Magnitude 8.0? I have all the episodes but I haven't got around to watching them yet xD
OMG, the last Steins;Gate episode was the best one yet IMO. Finally some action between those two
Next episode looks interesting! Ohh, is there an english translation of the Chaos;Head VN?
And I heard some people are currently working on an english translation of the Steins;Gate VN
Just saw the latest Usagi Drop episode. So cuteeeee and heart warming as usual >_< Clue Drops -> 3a Range Top (h357), 3a Full Helm (h439), 3a Druidic Staff (e969), Barrows Dye (h1755, h2546, e680, e1567, e2038, e2160, m480, m783, m862), Shadow Dye (e510, e1970, e1985, h2948), Ice Dye (e1539, e2804), 3a Dye (e3129)

In general I love anime but I can't wait for the new code geass to come out along with (hoping) that Kyoto animations may release another full metal panic! I really hope they do

^This coming from a guy who names is derived from a series of books about a guy who's bum runs away from him and tries to conquest the world, which subsequent gets attacked by the bums of people from Uranus?
Just finished the Haruka route in Little Busters (if you like Key, play this). While I didn't find it as sad as the other routes that ive already finished, it was defiantly the most that ive ever been able to relate to a Key story (I also managed to win the baseball game for the first time
).
One thing I did notice with it though, when I came off the common route and entered the character route, is a fairly obvious disconnection in relation to the translation style, which I would assume is caused by the 3 year gap between the translation of the common route (which is more literal) and the patch 5.1 released character routes (which are more conversational).
Which got me thinking about the two differing styles of subtitling that is prevalent in anime subbing, which could be best summarized as 'this is what i said' and 'this is what i meant'.
I wont pretend to be a Japanese expert, but I can usually tell when a sub is what the character actually said, or when its been substituted for something that would sound normal if they were using English.
I tend to see official DVD's doing this more often than I do fansubs, which is kind of sad really. You would think that the companies would figure out that if i was particularly concerned about natural sounding english, ide just watch the dub. What about you guys, which style do you prefer?
