yorty Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I can't stand most anime, especially in English. When I _do_ watch it, I always do so with the original audio and English subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azure Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 @Yorty:> I can't stand most anime, especially in English. When I _do_ watch it, I always do so with the original audio and English subtitles.I'm not that elitist. I hate reading subtitles, not because I'm lazy, but more because I hate having to back up and read something if I didn't catch it the first time. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmeplz Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 English Dubs are horrible. Reading subs isn't even hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azure Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 @LegendWeaver:> English Dubs are horrible. Reading subs isn't even hard.It is when you have poor vision, so don't hand me that tired old tale. Yeah I know dubs are horrible, but I'm not sitting an inch from my screen constantly backing up to reread subtitles for a week or more just because the dubbing was bad.

Adulese Games Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 For those who haven't watched it yet. Go watch Panti ando Sutokkingu wizu GÄÂtÄÂberuto. I know it seems bad from the clip below, but it was made by Gainax … wait that doesn't help it's case. Just do it and get a good laugh in.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNy6-n5td7M- AdulesePS: Never watch an English Dub (Except for Hellsing Ultimate). It ruins EVERYTHING. 'Nough said.

Thorn Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I hate dubs of any kind personally, but for someone like Azure I can definitely understand.It's brutal when the character's mouth keeps moving after the translated line would be finished and they have to have him say some dumb crap though. Almost wish they would just let him flap his mouth silently for a moment instead of some of the bad filler lines/jokes that I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azure Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think as a whole dubbing has gotten better over the years, though due to politics, idiocy, and translation it will never be as good as the original story. Also we do have that whole bs with cartoons being geared towards kids here the the US.Only comment on the dub vs sub thing I have is this, What sounds more fun if you have poor vision, watching 26-300+ episodes of subbed anime, or just dealing with the dubbing and hearing the slightly distilled English version.

Helpmeplz Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 No one is aiming the gun towards people with poor vision though. We're just saying that dubs are horrible and some people do them because of laziness/ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azure Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Nah, I'm not one of those people. Check the first paragraph above.> I think as a whole dubbing has gotten better over the years, though due to politics, idiocy, and translation it will never be as good as the original story.

Robin Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 We need more British dubbing. I'm not saying American dubbing is always bad, but our low-cost voice actors sound better than the American low-cost voice actors.Hell, look at Hellsing. That dubbing was above standard, even though they needed to 'Americanise' their accents so people over in the States could actually understand them.
