I hate deciding between sub and dub
>>
Sub is just dub with extra steps. Think about it logically. Both are being presented in English but you have to read the words instead of listening and watching the animation.

>>287916917
That's neat that you're still able to choose. I have watched subs for so long that I'm hard-locked to them, it's too late for me to try out anything else.
>>
>>287916953
This argument is missing the prime aspect of the experience: how it sounds. It's not simply a matter of processing information.
>>
>>287916917
I just watch five minutes of both for the first episode and then watch the dub unless it's actually bad. Then I'll check a few scenes in the sub if there are any I want to hear.

>>287918307
Not him, but can you elucidate on what poorly thought out argument you're trying to make? I could use a laugh.

I hope you are not saying that simply using American media platforms means you are unable to criticise anime dubs. If that is an argument I suggest you show this thread to your doctor so they can up your medication, or, more desirably, revoke your internet access entirely.

I only try (not commit to watching, just attempt) leaf and limey dubs.

I'm saying that you have no right to shit on the dub of a show if you watch ENGLISH on NON-ENGLISH topics. (Because they are the same.)
>>
>>287916917
Just learn Japanese.
>>
>>287916917
I can't remember the last time i watched a dub. certainly not for anything released in the past decade+. At least for anime. With games I'm more willing to dub if it doesn't explicitly take place in Japan.
Both FMA's had pretty solid dubs. I'll never forgive the old Funimation clique for what they did to Vic.
>>
>>287918630
>watch English on non-English topics
You ought to watch more English because you obviously have a poor command of it.
I am not being facetious. I genuinely have no idea what you are trying to say.Ask ChatGPT to rewrite it for you so it can be comprehended by English speakers.
>>
Never in my 36 years have I ever even thought about watching a dub.
>>
>>287918769
I'm sorry I can't remember what I was trying to mean. But basically watching a video about your non-native language in your native language is a dub and this is very common on YouTube etc. Its just someone elses interpretation of the culture and language, and the same is true for anime
Also my English is strong and comprehended well by coworkers and acquaintances etc.
>>
>>287918922
Try to actually have an idea of what you are trying to say before putting together some half-remembered sputterings in broken English.

Watching a documentary about the history of, say, Latin in English does not constitute a dub. Use your brain.

Your coworkers are just being polite, I fear.

allowing threads like these is just an admission that /a/ is dead and you killed it

If you don't watch dubs, how can you be a judge of their quality? They can't be intrinsically bad
>>
>>287919527
>they can't be intrinsically bad
They can.
How can a third party re-recording the audio be anything but a denigration of the creative design of the original studio?
Have you know respect or care for artistic vision?

That's it. No, not Cowboy Bebop or Code Geass or Gurren Lagann or whatever else people think is a good dub. Those 5 are the only ones.

I haven't watched a dub anime in over 10 years.
>>
Dubs could be good but they're not allowed to be.
Having to adapt English to Japanese lip flaps instead of being allowed to edit the show's animation to accommodate natural-sounding English is untenable. The easy example is DBZ. Migate no Gokui is the name for Ultra Instinct in Japanese. But its number of syllables and cadence is wildly different, so when the dub got that far they had to translate it as "Autonomous Ultra Instinct". It was a joke, really.
And then they spend about $5 on VAs

One of the great things about learning Japanese to watch anime untranslated is that it involves a lot of watching anime in untranslated Japanese.

Okay I wasn't lying to myself, some retarded spammer is genuinely making dogshit weekly dub threads for some reason

Dutch dubs are kino, unfortunately. Nobody recorded them, there are no DVD releases and if you're really unlucky: only the first season was aired before being canned

This but with subs. Was konosuba 2016? Cause I think that was the last subbed anime I watched.

Huh, it never occurred to me that you actually had to double enter. I know reddit uses markdown but I'd retardedly assumed the devs hardcoded some fix and that redditors just double space for readability or whatever. This makes a lot more sense.

I just judge based on wherever the setting is.
Western location? Dub
Eastern? Sub
retarded isekai or fantasy setting? 50/50
and if it just sucks then swap voices.

This. Dubs for anything are almost always dogshit, even mainstream "respectable" things like GoT in French have the same shitty boring identical emotionless voices as every other show. And anime, which are either looked down upon or actively despised, are treated much worse than this. The French dub for Re:Zero S1 has and I shit you not translated "I am the sin archbishop from the Witch's Cult, representing Sloth, Petelgeuse Romanée Conti" as "Pleased to meet you". Just "Enchanté de vous connaitre", I don't know what the fuck can even create such a monstrosity, and no the sentence isn't just changed to be before or after, it's all cut for no reason.
