Go Gilmore girls. I knew a pair of mother daughter team like that. Their daily conversation needs to be a reality podcast. Oh man, you just spoiled the ending for me. I haven't seen the parts where Rory went to Yale. You are so going to pay for this.

Don't worry. There's still plenty left after Rory goes to college. SO. MUCH.

Team subsubsub! That being said I've watched Totoro in three languages (Japanese+sub, English dub and Korean dub) and I definitely connect most with the English version.

Did people mention Fullmetal Alchemist already?

If you want to get the most enjoyable experience out of any anime (shows or movies etc.), you should always watch the subbed version. Because dubbed just makes it seem artificial and overplayed.

And Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty good, especially the Brotherhood version.

Unsurprisingly, I've seen this position espoused a lot. That said, it's not something I can identify with at all. I've seen some bad dubs (oh god parts of the dub of End of Evangelion were so painfully bad whyyyy) but I've had no complaints about the great majority of dubs for shows I like. I also subscribe to the "reading subs while watching ruins the cinematic experience" point of view, but more importantly, I simply can't pick up emotional inflection when the voice actors are speaking a language for which I have zero comprehension. I really can't emphasize this enough; I cannot appreciate anime voice acting in Japanese because there is such a huge disconnect between the audio, meaning, and emotion for me as a listener who knows no Japanese. Interestingly, I think this has to do with the fact that they're voice acting for animation, seeing how I didn't feel this extreme disconnect watching Ip Man subbed.

Allow me to respectfully disagree with the idea that I'm undermining my entertainment experience by watching anime in a language I understand. :)

I totally understand your perspective! But I took three years of Japanese in school, so watching subbed anime was like "studying" for me ;)

I actually found Louie to be crude enough at times that I gave it up after several episodes. Not for everyone I guess.

I recently rewatched the first season in an attempt to get my SO on the Louie bandwagon, I forgot how rough some of the early episodes were. If you stick with it, it gets better.

Grr Attack on Titan's anime adaptation had too many slow slow scenes and flashbacks and I gave up :(

As a plug for video games, I got to try out a Da Vinci, and having played video games since I was 5, I found that the skills translated over well for general spatial orientation and manipulation.

Speaking from experience, this is way harder than video games or learning how to use the da Vinci.

I think that to actually be able to enjoy video games, you have to come to terms with the fact that all the time and effort you invest ultimately result in nothing.

Still, it can be enjoyable if you don't mind that.

It's not all come to nothing. In the early 2000s, when I was in high school, I did got married to and had a kid with the head of the gang on the KunMing server of an online video game set in ancient Asia.

I do love to play theme hospitals and I was definitely a master of running a hospital. Hopefully that foreshadows what I will be doing in the future.

Ooooo, I just remembered how I first found out about the 9-11. The server chat was just people repetitively typing: plane hit twin towers!!!!

My first instinct was that the OP was probably from Brown or Dartmouth since "Ivy" med school isn't really a thing. And then I read what they actually posted and figured the post was just a shell for advertising the website that they linked (hindsight.io).
