If you’re an anime fan, chances are you have an opinion on English dubs. When I started out as a fan, I was only watching anime on American television, so everything was dubbed. When I began collecting anime, on VHS tapes, it was rare to come across one with Japanese audio and English subtitles, and you almost prized those for their rarity. Still, English dubs were mostly the only way to go, and you were glad to have them in those days, because after all, you didn’t want things like words on the bottom of the screen to get in the way of your favorite Japanese cartoon.
schlocky mom
Now, call me a socialist elitist baby-killing God-hating liberal, if you will, or whatever the Republican voter base is calling anyone with sense these days, but I hardly think that being the governor of Alaska, a state that has people moving for independence from the United States (it’s true, look up “Alaskan Indpendence Party”) and shooting caribou qualifies you to be a step away from achieving highest political office in the nation. Yes, Barack Obama isn’t exactly a long-time political player either, but he’s done far more and is far better educated that a self-professed “hockey mom” with radical religious beliefs.
imgDump.info Updates
First off, my apologies if your accounts are missing in action. A clean copy of the DB was made a few weeks ago, edits were made against that copy, and was used for this version of the site. If you registered at the old site between then and now your account no longer exists. Please register again.
Awesome New Features:
– Adult Content behind approval button. Okay, probably not the best title for it. From now on you don’t have to become a registered user in order to view adult content!
– New Ads. Maybe not the most awesome feature, but they help pay for the host.

Arguing About Giant Robot Cartoons
I must have no life whatsoever. I need a girlfriend, or a job, or something. Because I just spent nearly an hour arguing about what is and what is not canon in Gundam’s Universal Century timeline.
The Universal Century timeline, by the way, is the original “universe” in which Gundam takes part in. The original series and its direct sequels (Z, ZZ, CCA, F91, and V) take place here. Also, several side story OVAs (0080, 0083, 08th MS Team, and MS Igloo). Also, there are several video games, side story manga, and novelizations. However, Sunrise has claimed that “if it’s filmed, it’s canon”.
The Nerv of Some People!
Just a little rant:
Folks, Neon Genesis Evangelion is a great show. Is it the best show ever? No. Is it the best show of its kind? Not even. Is it one of the best? Maybe. Is it perfect? No. Fuck, though, if it isn’t extremely well directed most of the time, with all sorts of amazing scene composition, human behavior study, and great mecha action set to beautiful music. It’s still my favorite Gainax production, next to Wings of the Honneamise and Ebichu Minds The House.
Sci Fi vs Gurren Lagann
As many of you know by now Gurren Lagann has begun its first airing in the United States. Every Monday at 11PM EST you can catch two new episodes, airing only on the Sci Fi channel. Sounds great right? An amazing series with an average dub getting air time is always great. Unfortunately Sci Fi, best known for bringing us epic series’ such as Battlestar Galactica and countless original movies no one will ever watch, is ruining the experience.
If you’ve yet to tune in you might be asking how. Let’s start by looking at some basic times…
1&1 Sales: A Story of Fail
As some of you may already know imgDump.info has successfully used up the file limitations on it’s host. In order to address the issue and continue to expand imgDump I’ve contacted the host, 1&1.
The email I sent them is as follows. (Minus a few spelling mistakes I’ve only noticed now >_<)
Hello,
I have been a customer of 1&1 for a long time now with two separate hosting accounts.
Recently I have hit the file quota on my one account, 255,410 of 262,144 used. My storage space and bandwidth quota are still well within reasonable bounds.
