Everyone knows Esdeath would of won in reality. gg to Akame tho

Of all the shows that have a wide variety of ridiculous "who-the-****-would-even-think-of-that" superpowers and weapons, AgK is probably the only one where ice ability is the most over-powered. "oh I just waved my arm and now your whole army is encased in a huge wall of ice"

did not know death parade is a sequel to death billiards

I noticed that too a few days ago and watched it. Pretty confusing.

Spoiler

Telling from the Noh masks above the doors, it seems that the old man is the one who went to hell, and the young man went to heaven?... but from the conversation, it seemed the other way. idk.

best be watchin' that dubbed.

i am :p though revys voice is pretty annoying  

I much prefer the non-dubbed version of Black Lagoon. The characters' voices seem more natural.

Except when they actually speak in english. You can obviously sense their struggle.

that's so not true, you only think this because you most likely can't understand japanese and you can't truly here the expression in there words, only the way they speak a word.

Do you speak Japanese fluently? The dub works better in series like Black Lagoon because it fits better. It's more natural.

No i don't, however dub also sounds better in cases where the the characters are Japanese, with sub the thing is if you don't understand japanese you can't really understand the way they are saying things, you only think about what they are saying by the tone in there voice.

Loving black lagoon so far, i love the way they empower women in this show.

Exceptions to every rule.

The reason why Black Lagoon's dub is better is because it fits. It doesn't matter how they're saying it because English fits three of the four characters that matter the most; Revy, Benny, and Dutch.

To say that Japanese characters in a Japanese setting sound better in dub because it's our main/second/whatever language is entirely false. We don't have the experience of growing up there, or some cases living there to understand their culture. Not to mention it's their native language. See Date a Live's horrendous dub work for an example.

Black Lagoon works because of the characters, Baccano because it's in America. Others, because the dub work is actually really good, FMA.

Most of the characters (except Dutch) sound too squeaky when dubbed.

That's just how I think, there's very few actually good dubs out there...
