Japanese vs. American voice acting

[seireikhaan]

Try Code Geass. It's like Death Note but with giant battle-mechs. Very high-tension, strategic drama, difficult choices etc. But if you don't like giant mechs... well skip it.

Hmm. I dunno. First time I watched Code Geass, I felt very similarly about it. When I watched it again, I couldn't help but notice how over-the-top the show goes, especially once it hits season two. I ended up laughing for like half of it. Mind you, still very enjoyable, but the show got so ridiculous I couldn't take it seriously. I mean, all hail Britannia is honestly one of the funniest things ever if you watch it in Japanese. Charles in general is just a really silly character, from his plots to his even just his character design. Dude lacks a neck.

Death note balanced itself out better, with the exception of that one gambit season 1, the potato chip thing, and the last few episodes.
