I'll let you in on a little secret newfag, Dragonball threads were never on /a/ prior to 2017, especially if you were talking about the English dub you'd be redirected to /co/. You fags misappropriated a meta joke that went too far thnking that talking about entry level shit on /a/ was somehow acceptable.

Yeah pre-Toonami/Pokemon fans who are old, have families, dead or got offline. If you were born from like 1994 onward you likely became an anime fan via watching TV.
>>

yeah that's not true, see: psg and cb threads since time immemorial

Normally wouldn't mind so much since its a dub VA, but its Master Roshi's one. He was pretty iconic and prolific. May he rest in peace.

I'm talking about Dragonball specifically you illiterate faggot.

from my recollection a lot of them were britbongs complaining about the inconstancy of their dubs because they were behind on dubbing and underfunded by their broadcasts stations, or some literal baby boomer and early gen xers that would have been at least 25 when this website was created but thanks for showing that you are a tryhard EU /pol/tard with a for a passion for anime history.

I remember listening to the commentaries on FMA blu rays and he was the dub director and he talked about how they worked extra hard to make the show fit the Japanese script as much as they could and trying to cast the right voices and it shows when you watch it because it sounds so much better than most dubbed anime. He really cared about the shit he worked on.

Hating on dubs is just boring and typical, no one cares that you're acting like it's 2008 and you're the purest otaku anymore man. People watch anime however the fuck the want more than ever now, you got zoomers who do it at 2x speed which is retarded but who cares. Move on old man like this is embarrassing the weeb culture you had is gone. I've accepted it but you can't seem to, hell given how physical media is getting worst these days people don't even make fun of you for buying anime on this board anymore.

People hate dubs because they sound like shit. Especially newer dubs. Liking dubs is the sign of the newfag, who has watched a couple of shows and isn't sick of the bad performance of dub actors yet.
Your rambling is utterly retarded.

You don't even know Japanese. You rely on localizers to deliver your subs which are even worse than modern day dubs.

dubs suck because japanese theater kid writing sucks when performed in western languages
>>
>>290839215
People hate dubs because it was a popular thing to do, there's a lot of bad dubs but most dubs are fine, few are great and lot are generic. I've seen anime in both multiple and I can tell you, not much of a difference. Anime is a dub in Japanese anyway so it's always gonna have that sound, it's animated then vs voiced not voiced then animated like a cartoon, so they dub over the animation not animate to the audio.
>>
>>290839242
When you have to match lipflaps it's always gonna have the ''dub sound'' it's hard to escape vs voicing something without having to match anything. Watch live action Japanese films, they don't sound like that, anime has a sound to it.
>>
>>290839225
That depends. What matters is whether you prefer hearing japanese voices or american piggoid voices.
If it's the latter, go watch US reality TV or something, subhuman.

>>290839242
>it was popular because... it was popular!
Retard, you don't even have an argument.
>>
>>290837693
You sound vaxxed.
>>
>>290839257
It was popular because people were wannabe Japanese and purest, no one gives a shit now because we have access to everything vs the old days, if you wanna watch the dub that's edited or uncut or watch it in Japanese or whatever you can with easy.

I watched the As the Gods Will live action movie (the manga that Squid Game plagiarized) and it's literally like watching a live action anime because all the actors talk like anime characters. It was fucking horrible and embarrassing.
>>
>>290839307
Anime not having lipsync and just flaps is why it's perfect for dubbing but it's also why it sounds that way, so exceptions trying to sound more natural aside, it's why Akira sounds different in JP it has lipsync and was done the western cartoon way.
>>
>>290839215
What irked me most is that I was into Dragonball in the 90's and people keep jerking off Funimation when they replaced good music like this with absolute rubbish.

>>
>>290839242
>Anime is a dub in Japanese anyway
No it is not. A dub is by definition the secondary audio recorded after the fact. Anime scenes are drawn to Japanese dialogue, not the other way around. Dubs are entirely made by a foreign localization team, often with very limited access to the original team
>>
>>290839215
The worst is when you go to a theater and you get a trailer for an anime movie in dubs with the insanely shit tier sound production. People don't realize that localization studios are the ones doing the sound mixing for that shit, not the original Japanese staff.
>>
>>290839337
I don't mind the English music on it's own but the problem is that it doesn't shut the fuck up also I like the Ocean ost were it sounds almost like a horror score more than the FUNi one but they both don't really fit DBZ also licensed music Deftones in Cooler was sick.
Mark Menza for the redubs of movie 1-3 and GT just flat out suck though.
>>
>>290839400
>Anime scenes are drawn to Japanese dialogue
No they aren't, that's a western way they animate the anime before voice over why you think the lips are just flaps and not actual sync?
>>
Damn, so both Roshi's died? I thought he was recovering from brain surgery? That sucks, he was probably one of the Veteran VAs at Funimation. RIP. He has good replacements.

I've literally watched documentaries on making anime.
>>
>>290839689
They usually do, but the animation is done to the script, so the animators know how the line is going to be read when they animate. These days it's also possible to quickly reaninate faces after voice recording if necessary.
It's not like with dubs, where the line needs to be written to the lipflaps, with pauses exactly where the original line had pauses and shit like that.

>There is virtually no voice schools in the US. At most there will be a workshop or a basic course you can take as part of an art program.
And even then, all the actually good voice actors were veterans from other fields where they had naturally developed a range of voices, like how Dan Castellaneta used to do skit comedy with funny voices before he became the voice of Homer Simpson BECAUSE of that experience.

Nobody starts off as voice actors, it's not a real job in burgerland.

You have to be retarded to think that someone who hasn't learned japanese can somehow appreciate origianl audio without using the same translator who write the dub anyway for subtitles (fan subs are not always reliable) over a dub that you can actaully listen to and understand all just because the dub... does not have hollowood actors. And all the other shit doen't matter because again, you are not a japanese speaker. You have no idea from experience as a consumer whether any voice work over there is good or not.
