My Favorite Series
Series as in a bunch of videos that wouldn't be described as movies basically. So TV Shows, mini-series, Anime OVAs with more than one episode, and maybe a few more types as an example.
Note: I almost exclusively watch Anime dubbed, but I will comment on what Animes I watched subbed and what I think about the dub in case anyone wants to know if it's worth watching that way.

- StarsAmanda Winn LeeMichiko NeyaKimberly YatesTwo gun store owners/bounty hunters are forced to get involved in a gun running case that gets them targeted by a ruthless assassin.Watched it in dub, which I think was pretty good or at least decent. Not trying to imply anything serious, but I think its funny this anime kind of has an anti-gun control slant.
- CreatorShin'ichirô WatanabeStarsKôichi YamaderaUnshô IshizukaMegumi HayashibaraThe futuristic misadventures and tragedies of an easygoing bounty hunter and his partners.I used to watch anime until I was maybe like 10. Didn't continue watching it for a decade after, thinking anime was for chumps. I heard all the hype for Cowboy Bebop one day and decided to check it out. Such a great show and probably the best Anime created objectively in my subjective opinion. Watching it with its equally great dub may have also contributed it to me to check out other Animes dubbed.
- StarsMegumi ToyoguchiDaisuke NamikawaBrad SwaileA Japanese businessman, captured by modern-day pirates, is written off and left for dead by his company. Tired of the corporate life, he opts to stick with the mercenaries that kidnapped him, becoming part of their gang.So much profanity for a dub that isn't by Manga Entertainment in the 80s or 90s. That said I fucking loved it, both the dub and the show.
- StarsMegumi ToyoguchiDaisuke NamikawaMichie TomizawaThe 'bloodhound' awakens when her master, and head of the Lovelace family is assassinated.Slightly more confusing than the original series, but still just as great.
- CreatorYasuhiro NightowStarsMasaya OnosakaHiromi TsuruSatsuki YukinoVash the Stampede is the most infamous outlaw on the planet Gunsmoke and with a 60 billion double dollar price on his head the most sought after.I loved the first half, but I was honestly disappointed in the second half til the end. The first half was goofy and funny, with our main character, Vash, being an absolute wholesome badass. The second half became more dark and mature, but I don't think it was executed well. My biggest issue while watching it in my first and only time was my opinion that they nerfed the cleverness and skill of Vash so they could have a darker story. So many moments where I thought Vash would have come out on top. Still worth watching in my opinion.
As for the dub, it has maybe some slight underwhelming bits but the main characters had some rocking voices. - StarsCrispin FreemanDan GreenLisa OrtizA young boy named Shuzo rushes to the defense of a stranger who is being attacked for her magic pendant, only to find himself transported into another world where water is a scarce commodity and he is forced to join an army of children.I heard this was depressing as shit so I watched it expecting it to be so. I was mostly right. I watched this subbed in case the dub was weak for such a serious show.
- StarsMamoru MiyanoBrad SwaileVincent TongAn intelligent high school student goes on a secret crusade to eliminate criminals from the world after discovering a notebook capable of killing anyone whose name is written into it.Could have been my favorite anime all time until that turning point. Basically the first two-thirds were well written and always kept me in the edge of my seat. Then the series felt more rushed and weaker, like one of our main characters just got nerfed. However the ending was satisfying in my opinion so it is worth finishing. I'd still consider this show top ten material.
The dub is really good and my favorite character there has a butter-y smooth voice. Almost made me think of watching the original Japanese live-action movies dubbed, which is something I never do. - StarsSteve BlumKirk ThorntonJun'ichi SuwabeAbout Eikichi Onizuka, a 22-year-old ex-gangster member and a virgin. He has one ambition that no one ever expected from him. His sole life purpose is to become the greatest high school teacher ever.I finished all 43 episodes in 3 days, maybe the only series that I ever binged at that rate.
I watched the whole thing dubbed, but honestly I thought it was actually bad. I had many thoughts of actually switching to the sub when I was watching, but I felt it was too late to switch back now. The only saving grace was the main character being voiced by Steve Blum who nailed it right out of the park. The dub cast actually has some other voice actors who excellently dubbed other Animes before and after, but they had some underwhelming performances here which I blame on bad voice direction. I will admit their vocal performances do get better at the end, though not to a degree I would have liked. In conclusion, watch it subbed unless you really like Steve Blum. - CreatorDavid AshbyDario RussoStarsDavid AshbySean James MurphyNatasa RisticIt's Christmas in the 1980s, Adolf Hitler is alive and has two Yuletide wishes: Danger 5 dead and the world under his Christmas tree.Surreal, but mad funny. The style setting is different between the two seasons, but both are just as goofy.
- CreatorHugh DavidsonLee StimmelMike TysonStarsMike TysonNorm MacDonaldRachel RamrasIn this macabre comedy, retired boxing champion Mike Tyson, his brainy adopted Asian-American daughter, a friendly but wimpy gay gentleman ghost and a cursed perverse mean-spirited talking pigeon solve weird mysteries together.Voiced by the actual man himself. Honestly though, the best character in that show would definitely be the pigeon voiced by Norm Macdonald.
- CreatorAlex HirschStarsJason RitterAlex HirschKristen SchaalTwin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines spend the summer at their great-uncle's tourist trap in the enigmatic Gravity Falls, Oregon.I remember seeing the imdb ratings for this show, surprised that a "kids show" has such a high rating. It made me check it out and realize that the rating was really warranted. Took me out of my comfort zone from typical dark media to more family friendly ones.
- CreatorMichael Dante DiMartinoBryan KonietzkoStarsDee Bradley BakerZach Tyler EisenMae WhitmanIn a war-torn world of elemental powers, a young boy reawakens to undertake a dangerous mystic quest to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar, and bring peace to the world.
- StarsTakako HondaKurumi MamiyaTomoko KawakamiA group of school kids and a possessed cat fight ghosts in their neighborhood.You have heard about the dub right? It's worth watching for that alone. Honestly the dub is kind of dated with its references sometimes, but you might get it if you grew up around 2005.
- CreatorShin'ichirô WatanabeStarsKazuya NakaiGinpei SatoAyako KawasumiFuu, a waitress who works in a teahouse, rescues two master swordsmen, Mugen and Jin, from their execution to help her find the "samurai who smells of sunflowers."Directed by the same creator as the one for Cowboy Bebop, this also tries to emulate some Western influences, s in Hollywood etc., but in a different way. The dub is also pretty great.
- CreatorShirow MasamuneStarsShirô SaitôAtsuko TanakaOsamu SakaThe futuristic adventures of a female cyborg counter intelligence agent and her support team.I watched the original 1995 movie and I was very confused as hell what was going on. I kind of saw what it was going for though and I decided to check this series out. I was also confused as hell a lot of the time, but I think it was able to portray its ideas far better in a less confusing way. It did not have as many action scenes as I hoped, but there was definitely plenty of badass special forces action to be seen. Season 2 is more coherent in my opinion, and perhaps also better than the previous.
The dub felt really solid. Not perfect, but I can't recall a time where I had a problem with it. - CreatorKazuya TsurumakiStarsJun MizukiMayumi ShintaniIzumi KasagiMysterious things start happening when 12-year-old Naota meets a strange woman on a Vespa wielding a big guitar.Confusing, but at the same time understandable? A lot of subtle themes on nostalgia and growing up, which I appreciate a lot more despite first watching it as a young adult. The dub is great.
- CreatorRyôgo NaritaStarsMichael C. PizzutoJ. Michael TatumCaitlin GlassA crazy fantasy caper involving alchemists, immortals, gangsters, outlaws and an elixir of immortality, spread over several decades.The story is told in varying degrees of chronological order like if Pulp Fiction was more jumbled up. It has a real large ensemble of characters, so you might have to watch that intro multiple times if you get confused like me.
The story takes place in and around the 1930s in America. In my utmost opinion, that means you have to watch it dubbed. - CreatorKentaro MiuraStarsMarc DiraisonNobutoshi CannaCarrie KeranenGuts, a wandering mercenary, joins the Band of the Hawk after being defeated in a duel by Griffith, the group's leader and founder. Together, they dominate every battle, but something menacing lurks in the shadows.Low quality animation, which gets better at the end, but they told a story very well with very fleshed out characters. Let me just say though that you might want to start reading the manga after watching this if you haven't started yet.
To say the least, the dub was very good. I loved the performances from the main cast, especially Griffiths. The bloopers from the recordings are also worth checking out. - CreatorShin'ichirô WatanabeStarsJun'ichi SuwabeUki SatakeHiroyuki YoshinoThe cosmic and comic adventures of Space Dandy, a handsome space explorer tasked to tour the universe and discover new alien beings.
- CreatorShin'ichirô WatanabeStarsKaito IshikawaSôma SaitôAtsumi TanezakiTokyo has been decimated by a terrorist attack, the only clue to the culprit's identity is a bizarre internet video. Two mysterious children form Sphinx, a clandestine entity determined to pull the trigger on this world.

- StarsVolker BruchTom SchillingKatharina SchüttlerFive friends go out to war and promise each other to be back for Christmas.
- StarsWil WillisTom MinderCharlie ParrishEach installment of this Military channel reality series finds special ops expert Wil Willis working his way through a different military objective.Wish there was more of this badass series. The gist is that Wil Willis has to go up against a team of veterans in what is basically a glorified training exercise. We're talking "missions" where Wil Willis might have to sleep a few days to get through.
- StarsChiaki KobayashiJun'ichi SuwabeNatsumi FujiwaraA Japanese conman crosses paths with a French rival, and gets entangled in conspiracies and scams beyond his wildest dreams.The second season was kind of underwhelming. I won't say it was completely bad, but it dragged on more than it should have.
- CreatorKohta HiranoStarsKatie GrayCrispin FreemanVictoria HarwoodThe vampire Alucard, his master Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, and his newly sired ward Seras Victoria, try to protect England from a war-crazed SS-Major who seeks to start an eternal war with his vampire army.I watched the original series, which I liked but it had an underwhelming ending. This OVA series is much better. I'd say more I like, but I'm currently too tired to flesh it out more. Instead, I'll mention that I wish it kind of took the more grounded route the original series had. Like come on man, a catboy and typical Anime comic relief in a few scenes ain't for me.
It takes place in Britain, it has to be dub man.
