The difference between the Japanese and the Dub can be summed up best by just listening to these two videos:

On an additional note, G Gundam also has one of my secret Waifus.
Will you stop putting words in my mouth? since when did I say Dub > Sub
Read before posting please. You seem to have a bad habit about that recently
Where in my last post did I say anything about what you said? Before you tell me to "read before posting", why don't you take your own advise?
That post you quoted has me showing two videos of the japanese vs the dub, to let people draw their own conclusion about it. I didn't say a single thing about what you said in it, so I wasn't "putting words in your mouth".
Then why did you quote me? because obviously you're trying to say something about my post
You posted a video of the dub. I posted a videos of the sub and dub so people can compare them. Whats hard to understand about that?
Sub, don't listen to Blasty's nostalgia. The difference between the Japanese and the Dub can be summed up best by just listening to these two videos:
who's the one that spoke those lines then?
Holy shit, are we really going to do this?
Guy asks "Sub or Dub (cuz Blasty said they were good)?" Me: Don't listen to Blasty, Sub You: "I never said Dub>Sub. Look at this video of the dub." Me: Look at these two videos of the sub and dub. You: "OMG WHY DONT U READ B4 U POST!?!?"
Do you not see how silly you are being?
No because the only reason you're posting is trying to put me down for saying the dub was good. Your posting attitude on this thread is something I am getting sick of. Whenever I post anything at all, you just want to pick a fight with me
To be fair, he only really looks like he's "picking a fight" with you because he's incredibly unhappy with the general quality of most of your posts.
funny how someone how has yet to contribute any thing at all to this thread has the right to judge me

Is Infinite Stratos actually good? It seemed like some loli+mecha harem mash when I read the first few chapters.
IS is actually enjoyable because there is no lolis.
I HATE lolis, idk why, I just hate them. I get disgusted everytime they get protrayed way too much (main reason I dropped Haganai). Haganai is prolly the worst example of a harem: 2 lolis (1 being a imouto and a Hideyoshi 2.0)
But if ur like me and hate dense MCs then you would find urself frustrated, but that is the beauty of harems in the first place: Wishing you were in the MC's shoes cause hes such a idiot and you know you would do better.

lol, maybe you'll have a hard time getting along with Ferrose. Well Haganai, is a little more entertaining than IS, there is just more variation between the characters. btw if you consider Yukimura a loli then you'd have 3 since you have Maria and Kobato. + Show Spoiler +
and while it is known that Yukimura is suppose to be Hideyoshi 2.0, Yukimura's true gender is actually female. so instead we have a girl that thinks she is a guy.
IS is a good example of a harem. but Haganai offers a wider array of heroines. In IS the heroines don't really have a chance to set them aside from the other heroines. Except Germany and France of course. they stood out because..... they were just overall more interesting than "tsundere for MC"

Please reread that post. I'm not judging you. I'm stating that he's not picking fights with you for the sake of picking fights.
If I were judging you, I'd personally have something to say about you, but I actually have no opinion of anything that happens in this thread, despite being one of the most edgy, troll-friendly, and chaotic places on TL, because I don't really frequent it.

then for what intention do you imply by posting here and try to get between my conflict with him. It was already resolved why do you try to throw it out in the open once more?

Ya actually I meant Kobato and Maria as the two lolis and Yukimura as Hideyoshi 2.0. Nothing against Hideyoshi, I LOVE Hideyoshi, but when Haganai tries to copy that character it just pisses me off.
Interesting that Yukimura's true identity is a girl, makes me feel kinda at ease now whenever I sport a slight softie when they show fanservice of him/her.
Maybe Ill give Haganai a second chance just for Sena (Itou Kanae). Maybe... Idk...
well shit, this just got a hell lot more interesting. and I thought the case was over. Damn, that's why I love this manga, funny how some intricate details are always overlooked

I just love that they dropped the pretentiousness. Very refreshing.
Doujins are pretty much the next logical step in a harem series anyways.

Yea Majikoi is decent compared to others that I have seen.
Motto To Love-Ru
This shouldnt even be up for debate. Its single-handedly the best harem ever.
what? best in what way? maybe attractiveness of harem , but on quality of show, it is pretty meh
probably the most historically distinguished are tenchi muyo and ranma 1/2, and of course school days
This is the one harem that I truly enjoy not only cause of the sheer amount of cow-eye girls and artwork but because the MC isnt dense as fuck. Hes only resisting that harem cause hes in love with Haruna.
I also like the way his relationship was done with his sister. Its not really incest, well idk what to call it, but that episode of Mikan was just awesome. And Im like the last person to actually enjoy "incest" in any sense, if youd call it that. But ya, because of that I think this harem actually prevails where others fail.

Yup, one of the best manga in the genre. The only thing I have been following for 10 years. And I'm glad it somewhat maintained a high quality through the years. One of the most underrated manga in my opinion.
