I tried to watch the 2 movies but I couldn't stand the first English dubbed VAs.


Never seen YYH, but this is a common issue with me watching dubbed anime. Like, sometimes when English VAs have to record a grunt or angry scene, it has a habit to sound like they're fighting for their life in the bathroom. Not to add some characters start to sound repetitive and same-ish after hearing the same voice actors voicing characters in different shows. Though that's probably because there isn't as big as an anime VA pool to pull from here in the West compared to Japan, but also owing to contracts like 4kids, Jetix, etc.

So, what are people's thoughts on the new Pokemon series? First main line season without Ash.

I'm so fucking pissed. Pokémon is not Pokémon without him. And no fuckwit siblings are gonna change that.

I mean, sure, he's a big part of the Pokemon franchise, but I don't think it's that terrible. Things like Pokespec manga, the other anime (Poketoons, for example), etc. have been doing just fine without him.

The question is "who are they going to replace him/the other cast with?" (Pretending they haven't already shown the generic anime boy/girl self-inserts.)

If it's anything like the Gary Stew that other anime had. It's not going to have the same longevity. But if they have an Ash 2.0. People will question why it was changed in the first place. (Marketing and toy sales.)

Most of the anime this season are pretty mediocre, and I stopped watching them.

Hoping the next one is better. (Assuming Dr.Stone & The Ancient Magus' Bride aren't lackluster.)

I presume they already revealed that with the two new characters. One has a special pokeball and the other has something to do with a pendant/necklace thing. There's a fan theory out there that the girl is probably Ash's daughter or at the very least a fan of his (given the green arrow/check mark hair piece the girl has), but we don't really have much more information about the new anime yet so who knows.

I might actually watch the first episode and then promptly not watch it ever again as I assume most people do since I've never met a single person, Pokemon fan or otherwise, who genuinely watched the Pokemon anime week to week.

I always got the impression that the pokemon anime was a lot like Sesame Street. At least in the sense that it's an ongoing series for children. The show never really grabbed me, but I was older than the target demographic at the time. I imagine that Ash's removal from the series is going to be a lot like that time big bird finally proved Snuffleupagus was real: It'll be a news story for a few weeks, then nobody will give a shit.

Also Vinland saga is worth watching. Kinda weird how the main character becomes a secondary character in his own story, but hopefully that gets fixed in season 2, whenever that airs over here.

I watched the first season and orange islands parts of the anime, part of the Johto one and a few episodes here and there. My impression of the old show was that the first season actually aged fairly well for what it is (though I could just be being nostalgic), but the show just started recycling plot points and I aged past being the target audience for the show so I stopped watching it.

I probably won't watch the new show, so I can't say much on it, but I noticed in my quick search about it a Captain Pikachu. It seems the show can't go on without the electric mouse :P

My first anime was technically either Sailor Moon or Pokemon, back when I was a kid and I had no idea what anime was. I knew them as cartoons.
The show that got me interested in anime as an older person was Avatar: The Last Airbender, though I know it's disputed whether or not it's a true anime. I don't care about the distinction, but that's what made me more aware of anime. The first true anime I watched was Soul Eater.

I don't really have an opinion on the whole no-more-Ash thing; I think I accept that the showrunners decided that Ash was done as a character and that Pokemon just isn't a show for me anymore. I think it's for the new generation of Pokemasters. Hope they enjoy it!

Here, I'll pose another question:

If you could choose an anime to rewatch from the beginning, with no memory of what happened in the show as if it was your first time watching it, what would it be?
