Anime on Netflix

Stormhawk88 · 11-11-2014 1:31am

Just finished watching Kill La Kill, which I binged on over the last 3 days. And it was absolutely fantastic. Can anybody suggest what I should watch next?
I don't usually have much time to sit down and watch so I would just like some suggestions. I just watched the first episode of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and I dunno if I can commit to watching 5 series if its no good but i cant tell what yet. I've watched knights of sidonia already and really enjoyed it.

FMA: Brotherhood is downright one of the best anime shows there is, seriously worth the watch

Cool! Il get stuck in to it so:D

It does seem like a big undertaking, so I can understand the hesitation at first, but it's downright glorious watching. Takes a few episodes to get into, but it's just got an incredible plot and some amazing characters. There's a reason why, when you look at the top anime on MAL FMA: Brotherhood is right there at number 1 unshakable.

Yeah I don't mind watching it over a longer period if its worth it story wise. And if its as good as you say it is I'l be hooked in no time:D

Don't judge FMA:Brotherhood on its first episode as its the only piece of filler in the entire series. Brotherhood is a fantastic series though I think the original series does a better job at adapting to the earlier parts of the story.

Fma had both a English and English cc option for subtitles , cc is word for word the english dub with English being a translation of the Japanese.

Like the dub in this in any case.

Sephiroth_dude · 20-11-2014 5:56pm

Ikki Tousen: Xtreme Xecutor, Ikki Tousen Great Guardians and The Irregular at Magic High School are up on the u.s netflix.

Stormhawk88 · 14-12-2014 12:58am

Just wanted to say thanks guys for pointing me in the direction of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Just finished it and it was every bit as good as ye promised:D

Gunmonkey · 30-12-2014 8:44pm

Heads up that MangaUK is adding a few more titles at the end of the week.

Jan 1st - Vampire Knight (seasons 1 & 2)
Death Note (Season 1)
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Season 2)

Jan 2nd - Black Butler (Season 2)
Attack on Titan (Season 1)
Blue Exorcist (Season 1)
Psycho-Pass (Season 1)
High School of the Dead (Season 1)

Some good shows in there (and sure I saw Vampire Knight on there before). Lets hope this trend continues.

Sephiroth_dude · 31-12-2014 6:26pm

Seen them all. I wish they'd add some more dubbed shows to american netflix, its all subbed lately.

Said no one ever.

Cotts72 · 04-01-2015 11:09pm

Finished knights of sidonia yday in the space of a day, what a brilliant show, had me hooked as much as attack on Titan! Can't wait for season 2

anomalous · 04-02-2015 12:15am

Ergo Proxy is very good (not sure if its on Netflix) but well worth a watch

entropi · 04-02-2015 1:56am

RWBY and Tokyo Ghoul just got added to the UK version.

Sephiroth_dude · 04-02-2015 2:58pm

There has been some stuff, but not as noticable like the third episode of GITS: Arise plus the English dub of the first two episodes.

Irelandcool · 06-02-2015 12:21am

Get the US netflix they're walkthroughs onlien how to do it. Better selection over there.

Cotts72 · 09-02-2015 1:56am

Tokyo Ghoul is outstanding

Saruwatari · 18-02-2015 4:15am

Started watching Space Dandy dubbed on the UK version. I know the preference is usually sub but I heard SD's dub is pretty decent, any comments on it?

The dub is excellent, in my opinion. Especially Dandy, his voice actor really nailed it.

Started watching season 2 recently and this line actually made me laugh out loud...

I loved that Glee episode.

Evac101 · 19-02-2015 5:04pm

Tokyo Ghoul is phenomenal, as is Kill La Kill (in very different veins).

On the dubbed V subbed, dubbed suits me more as I tend to consume anime while gaming on a second screen - I can still glance over to read the subs but being able to listen to it and then focus for the major scenes is more helpful for me.

J. Marston · 22-02-2015 3:09am

Liking Tokyo Ghoul a lot. The censorship is annoying though.

sniper_samurai · 07-06-2015 2:21am

BUMP!

Expelled from Paradise and the three Madoka movies have been added to Netflix US.

Is that all they've added ? I got rid of my sub last month.

Netflix is great, but if you primarily want it for anime you're better off spending your money on Crunchyroll at €5 per month or €40 for a years sub. Especially good value now that you don't have to pay extra for the manga. The usual methods of getting Netflix US will also work with Crunchy for getting geo locked content btw.

Knights of Sidonia season 2 is being added on July 3rd.

Speaking of CR we really should have a thread for handing out spare 48 hour guest codes that anyone isn't using.

Ya thats the reason why I got rid of IT, didn't watch anything else on really , maybe the odd documentry or series, I'll never forget when I first got it, it had an amazing selection

Back in the day (it's available now on Netflix so I can't share links etc), I watched Eclipse fansubs for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I wanted to watch it again last Christmas and saw it on Netflix but the subtitles were awful! Horrible yellow text, with lines that spoiled the following scene sometimes... I ended up watching my saved Eclipse downloads. Is this typical of all of Netflix's anime?

Also, the internet connection struggled with good quality and my saved files were obviously buffer-free!

Depends on the files they are given from the licence holder. Found Samurao Champloo to be unwatchable myself as the subtitle timing was all over the place.

Unwatchable is the word. I just tried Crunchyroll (they don't have One Piece which is a real shame for me) and they seem okay.

One Piece is on Crunchyroll. I watch it there every Sunday. It is geo locked to North America though just like the latest Fairy Tail episodes. There are quite a few ways to get around the geo lock, but you will have to find them yourself as it is not allowed to be discussed here.

As you allude to, I can't talk about that on Boards because of their legal team's opinion on the matter. But there's a principle to it also. I don't see why I ought to get the leftovers of an American service, replete with American ads which they make money from, when I can watch them for free on other more dubious websites or download fansubs in high quality. I won't prattle on about that. My point was that Crunchyroll do have a reasonably good service compared to Netflix's effort. The way subtitles are done for FMA: Brotherhood are frankly worse than Teletext subtitles to me.

Just re-watched Attack on Titan on Netflix and have to say it's ten times better in HD/proper sound system than it was the first time I saw it on a small SD tv with tinny speakers. I've read that there have been several OVAs made but there's no sign of them being dubbed while waiting for season 2. Anyone know anything about it?

Plus - I'm thinking of going through Psycho Pass again. Brilliant work but can't find anything on whether Season 2 will be dubbed at all.

At least Knights of Sidonia is coming back in July.

All I can say is thank goodness for Netflix. Even the Irish version has the cop on to give us an Anime fix..! I wonder do they have their own ninja anime-fans working in their offices? :pac:

Season 2 of Psycho-Pass was given a broadcast dub by Funimation, as such it is already available in English on Funimations website(geo locked to NA) and the usual more dubious places.

Did you watch it on Netflix Ireland or somewhere else?

Netflix Ireland. Have to say I'm delighted that they have the foresight to get it. There was a lul for a while around the time they took down all the GitS:SAC related content but it's starting to build up again.

Long may it last.
