I always prefer subs over dubs. I don't think most of the stuff I watch even have a dubbed version.

Also, random dub trivia. Did you know Italy dubbed even their own movies? They shot the movies without sound and the lines were recorded after filming was finished.

 

[Jondolio]

Also unpopular opinion, but I prefer the YuYu Hakusho sub over the dub. I don't think the dub aged particularly well and I live for Shigeru Chiba, Nozomu Sasaki, Noboyuki Hiyama and Megumi Ogata's voices and performances as the main cast. Absolute legends

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

anyway, favorite anime OP?

At this moment in time, Tomodachi Games opening
Of all time, Magi

AMA should've gone up last night but oh well, drawing it for tonight, hopefully

In the meantime, if any of y'all aren't currently on the list of future AMA subjects and would like to be added, please lemme know via reply or PM

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

I will say, there are some dubs out there that are so bad, they're actually kinda unironically good.

Ever seen the Yugioh GX dub?

 

[Noipoi]

anyway, favorite anime OP?

I’m not saying it’s the best, but this one has a lot of nostalgia for me.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Every year I've watched the Heisei Gamera Trilogy in the English dub. It took me so long to notice how awkward and corny that I've now decided watching it in the original subbed version. The dialogue a lot better.

I hold a special connection with YuYu Hakusho dub so I'd watch the dub over the sub any day. Same with Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, ect

Ya'll are gonna jump on me for this one, but I have such a strong nostalgia value and unironic enjoyment of the spanish Pretty Cure theme song that It has to be my favourite besides the Pitchy Pitchy Pitch theme:

I only watched it for the first time when it came out on Netflix in my country a few years back so I defaulted to the dub. I tried to watch the sub later and I don't think it works as well in this day and age

For Cowboy Bebop though I watched the dub, I think it fits the vibe of the show better

GXs dub is absolutly ****ing golden

I know it wasn't uncommon in Europe to do this. Turkish movies also did this a lot back between the 60s and 80s.

It makes the shots go faster as you don't need to retake every time the mics pick the wrong sound. You also get the use actors who look good onscreen but aren't necessarily talented in articulation (and vice versa).

Oh my god i ****ing love pretty cures first opening

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbh, I feel as if dubs get a bad rep because early on they were some straight ass, but as things got more professional and translation got better, they're just as enjoyable, sometimes even more enjoyable, but people are still stuck in that 80s mentality that they all suck.

Then there's also weebs being elitist as **** but that's an entirely different story.

 

[Lamperouge]

anyway, favorite anime OP?

It's quite the obscure gem

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

I'm gonna be honest, I gotta get out of this mentality a bit

Like, I sit back and think to myself "why does it matter what version you watch?" whenever this topic comes up, and really, it doesn't. At least, not to an extreme degree.

 

[Noipoi]

I really like the English Evangelion dub theme song.

Link cuz there’s too many embeds on this page.

thanks

bottom text because I can't think of any better one-liners

 

[osby]

Oh yeah, also dubs would have a better rep if Funimation stopped giving characters stereotypical accents just because.

I know it adds flavor to performance sometimes but man, I watched Vampire Dies in No Time recently and I couldn't understand half the stuff that came out of Draluc's mouth.

NEW: WB Discovery wants to overhaul DC Entertainment. Variety says:
- They want a Kevin Feige-like leader
- That DC "lacks a coherent creative and brand strategy"
- That they want to revitalize characters like Superman
- They want more stuff like JOKER https://t.co/ktrxOAClzY pic.twitter.com/vuJSAd778E
