How do dubfags live with themselves? It's like they enjoy eating shit.
>>
>>287127087
They live without thinking about you having them rent free in your head.
>>
>>287127087
>unmute it
Why is your shit muted in the first place?
>>
The only anime that should have dubs are Dragon Ball and Pokemon.
>>
>>287127139
No, they're too retarded to have self awareness. That's why they watch dubs.
>>
>>287127196
Some places have videos muted by default

I like the Death Note dub and NGE dubs. I get mad when people watch those in Japanese.
>>
>>287127200
Dragon ball is the series that turned me away from dubs, I watched dubed from goku meeting Bulma up to Vegeta escaping earth, then right after learnt about how the dub butchered Gokus reason for letting Vegeta live and the only time I have seen dubs since is a few times it was the only showing of a movie I could make (one of them being a dragon ball movie actually)
>>
>>287127087
i think the dub for k-on is pretty good. they use honorifics and shit.

Believe it or not, but -nyan is not a recognized Japanese honorific.
>>
>>287128856
But they use US dollars in the dub instead of yen and that’s just not acceptable
>>
>>287128909
yeah, but they keep -san, -chan, -tan, sempai etc.
not a lot of dubs do that. The only ones that come to mind are Persona and Hell's Paradise. I like it when dubs don't completely scub out japanese culture.

>>287129030
I don’t think Japanese honorifics are necessary in dubs if the setting and characters aren’t Japanese
>>
People who watch dubs are actual retards incapable of reading fast enough
>>
Hearing a dub for even 2 seconds is like a flashbang going off
>>
>>287129156
it may not be necessary to the setting, but they're still essential to japanese writing for understanding social dynamics.
>>
>>287129346
>>287129410
They are like pigs eating slop
>>
>>287129474
Accorording to the stats the majority of people watch dubbed and I bet /a/ is no different.
>>
>>287127200
Those are some of the worst dubs out there.
>>
>>287129422
Yeah. To use a recent popular example, season 1 of Frieren, I watched endless numbers of normies not understanding anything about the scene where Stark asks Fern to be less formal because they're the same age.

Feels good.

>>287130554
Also Frieren is one of the worst dubs ever. The fact that some people praise the mommy voice Frieren has in the dub astounds me. It completely ruins the character.
>>
>>287130750
I agree and it pisses me off. It doesn't fit her character at all.

I love when little girls have the 30-something fat millennial woman voice

American foids just sound worse than Japanese women regardless of age or physique
>>
>>287127087
The thing that's bad about most dubs is that the people dubbing aren't trying to voice the characters they're voicing, they're trying to voice a japanese person voicing the characters they're voicing, if you get what I mean. Actually good dubs, few there are, the characters actually sound decent because the VA's and the dubbing company had more than 2 braincells.
>>
>>287127263
Feels good
>>
>>287130997
Also localization prevents dubs from ever matching the original and I'm not sure if it's even possible to dub without even a little bit of it
>>
I don't care if it's uncool to look down on dubfags, I'll still do it
>>
>>287131131
There are ways to dub without localization, however some things absolutely do need localization since they are essentially untranslatable. Doesn't justify the piss poor localization being done these days, raw (if you can into Jap) and sub will always be the best way to watch anime, however dubbing can be done much much better than it is now and it's not even funny.
>>
>>287127087
Dubs are great if you're watching it on a second screen and not really paying attention
>>
>>287131165
It's cool at least here
>>
>>287131165
Looking on dub fags was the standard practice. At least once upon a time.
>>
>>287131203
It still is?
>>
>>287127196
because hes using twitter (where videos are muted by default)
>>
>>287131261
this place also doesn't?
>>
>>287127087
reading is hard
also jap is cringe
>>
>>287129539
I read magna occasionally and almost exclusively watch dubs. I don't see why OP cares so much about what I do.
>>
>>287132436
Because you actively make anime discourse worse by consuming dub shit

i hate the sound of american women so much it's unreal
>>
>>287131187
Yeah, I will sometimes listen to a dub if it's my second screen and I'm playing a game or something on my first screen. But always stuff I've already seen.
I hope eventually AI gets good enough that it can imitate the original Japanese VAs and just change the language, keeping the same tone and voice. I don't care if the flaps match and I'd prefer as little localization as possible. Soon as it's good enough to do that on my own hardware I'll put all my files through and create my own dubs.

>>287132524
Fuck off frogposter
>>
>>287130750
what, they made her sound like the old lunch lady on the Simpsons or something? I’ve never heard the English dub and I’m afraid to go look for it on YouTube, my will to go on living is already low enough as it is
>>
>>287132502
You might have a point if I was an active /a/ poster. Sub supremacists are likely right, but I don't care. I generally only come to /a/ to talk about manga or lurk.
>>
>>287132717
She has a husky sort of motherly voice. I don't think it fits the character as Frieren isn't really meant to be motherly.
>>
There's a k-on dub??
>>
>>287133170
Yeah. I think the songs are all still in Japanese though. I haven't listened to it myself.
>>
>>287127087
they just don't care. you should realize most people have extremely poor taste.
this is why i do not fear the grave.
>>
>>287133087
yeah I don’t think that would fit at all. The tone and quietness of her Japanese VA is really important to making her character work. I read a ways into the manga before the anime was released but thought it was pretty underwhelming. The voice work and audio design does a lot of the heavy lifting for the anime version
>>
>>287133170
>>287133231
There’s actually 2. One from Animax Asia and one from Sentai/Bang Zoom!.

The former is fucking awful. The other is mostly faithful and isn’t terrible but still is vastly inferior to the original Japanese. It at least uses honorifics, but as >>287129029 said, it uses US currency instead of Japanese yen in lines which is really irritating.
>>
>>287133503
if they changed all the prices to “bout tree-fiddy” I think I could accept it
>>
>>287127200
hispanic dubs* ftfy
>>
>>287132717
Idk if it’s the VA or the ADR director but they made her sound mature which doesn’t fit. I guess they are taking her age literally and not factoring in how elves age much slower than humans and how childish Frieren can be
>>
>>287133503
>How much is this gitar
>500 American dollars
Lmao
>>
>>287133551
>but I can letcha have it for ‘bout tree fiddy
>>
>>287133551
It’s mind boggling how the dub has Japanese honorifics but uses dollars instead of yen. That’s 4kids level shit.
>>
>>287127200
>subs but it says Charizard not Lizardon*
ftfy

if you're ever bored make fun of dubfags on other websites
