I don't actively pursue new anime or manga series. I usually stay limited to series I find out about on Sci Fi or by word of mouth, or series that I grew up watching on Toonami. Some of the series they've shown are good (Monster, Gurren Lagann, Noein), but there's a lot they've shown that is just fucking terrible (Descendants of Darkness, Tokko, Tactics). I'm interested in finding some new series that could pique my interest. My tastes are geared towards suspense and action, with some comedy as long as it's not subbed (the dub of Shin Chan, for instance [I thought it was hilarious]). The only magical girl anime I like is Sailor Moon, and everything else is really weird to the point where I couldn't care less about the particular genre.

This thread isn't simply limited to you recommending things to me. Share whatever you want. For the time being, any ideas? Also, I'm not interested in yuri or yaoi.

ok, so you're asking for DUBS in a group that has made its name in SUBS ONLY.
ugh, ok there's very few good dubs out there, dunno if they'll live up to your taste but look into last exile and baccano.
oh and regarding shin-chan, dont expect more than whats already out. its creator died a while back

I'll go ahead and tell you that my favorite suspense/horror/comedy is when they cry (I never thought Ill be recommending an anime by translating it), its my favorite so far and well you can read the manga in the case you dont like the voice acting but about the dubs I really cant say since I only like subs.

What? I like dubs. Some of the voice actors have talent and work well for their characters, like Liam O'Brien and every role he's ever had. Yuri Lowenthal did a good job with Cecil in every game after the DS version of FFIV, as well as Simon in Gurren Lagann and Jinno in Afro Samurai.

It doesn't have to be just dubs. If there happens to be a dub of a series, I'm interested. If it's only subtitled, fine.

Forgot to mention that I can't stand Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece. Actually, I have more tolerance for the latter because of some interesting elements.

Actually we are not in really mainstream so you wont get those, I do concede that there are really good dubs, I liked desert punk for starters, just that my preference is indeed with the original voices since most of them dubs are indeed pathetic, well there you go maybe you'll like desert

Oh, I've seen the first episode of Desert Punk. It's interesting, and I think I'd like to see more.

I also like Fist of the North Star. I've tried looking into Golgo 13 but I don't know where to find it other than torrents.

Good dub with suspense/horror would be Witch Hunter Robin. For comedy, can't go wrong with Azumanga Daioh, it's a classic.

What's Witch Hunter Robin about? It was on Adult Swim, if I'm not mistaken, but I never watched it.

Is was on AS 5-6 years back. It's about a government organization that hunts down modern day witches who misuse their powers. It's got murder, mystery, and conspiracy.
