I think people who won't watch something because it isn't dubbed are more annoying.

GOD BLESS MURICA

With that attitude though, you're kind of as bad as the weebs who refuse to watch dubs no matter what.

After watching the sub...The dub is a serious disaster.

Even my gf thought why does the protagonist sound like a whiney bitch now? Just horrible voice actors, its like they are trying to hard.

I watch subbed anime all the time so your point does not matter.

yes the dub is no masterpiece but it gets way to much hate for no reason

JabonHR said:

I find that this is the case with every dub. Regardless of the dub's actual performance, it'll be hated upon if the show isn't called "Cowboy Bebop" or "Baccano!"

It's far from perfect, very far.
And they cut the OP. I know why, but they should've cut the endings instead. Or just ended each ep before ending starts, no one really needs the previews. No idea what they did with the previews, but if they kept them they should've cut them out. The 2 openings are too good to cut out.

I'm not a dub hater, I just don't like crap dubs.
I really enjoyed the dub of Samurai Champloo and Cromantia High. Cromantia is best in english actually.

Dub lovers are annoying. They always have to make threads whenever dub haters complain about dubs.

Did your girlfriend watch the sub as well? Because if she did, she should know that Eren always sounded like a whiny bitch. Because he always was like that.


Then why did you say something like "this makes me not want to watch the anime in anything other than English?" Are you so impressionable that you let the fanbase's comments dictate your thoughts?

IntroverTurtle said:
But how do you know that dub hater didn't have subs insulted by a dub lover first? And this all could have been avoided if dub lovers didn't make threads whining about dub haters insulting the dubs when they could have just ignored it like most everyone else does with other criticism.

I honestly thought the dub was great, though Papenbrook's voice feels kinda limited when he screams. For the most part, it was spot on. The casting was great too, especially Armin's.

I generally don't mind what people say about dubs, but it definitely gets annoying when people complain about how "the voice doesn't fit the character", which is pretty biased because most people who say this watched it subbed first. Of course it's not going to fit the character right away because they've already got the Japanese voices burned into their minds. It takes time to get used to the new voices, but sadly, people will usually just disregard the dub as "bad" and neglect to even watch past the first episode.

Just because you dislike a dub doesn't mean you're a dub hater in general. I actually enjoy a lot of dubs (especially FMA 03, which I think is even better than the sub in most ways). For a while, I only watched dubs. I only really got into subs when I wanted to watch Haibane Renmei and Funimation only released the sub on youtube. Since then, I've grown to really enjoy subs and I think that USUALLY the acting is better, and sometimes dubs can change significant lines.

I consider Attack On Titan's dub to be one of the worst dubs I've ever heard (but I really haven't seen that much anime yet). But I don't just irrationally hate it because it's a dub. I started out watching AoT dubbed, and while I liked it, I wasn't really sure. So I decided to switch to sub after about 9 episodes, I think. And it was the difference between night and day for me. The sound was mixed better, the acting was much better, and I just enjoyed the show a lot more.

I actually like a lot of the scriptwriting for the dub of AoT. When the characters are saying the same thing as they are in Japanese, I think they did a good job making the words sound good in English. (However, there are a few lines changed, removed, or simplified, which annoys me. I think they think we couldn't understand a complex idea or something).

But the bigger problem is the way everyone grates out words like they are on the verge of tears or they are shaking and about to collapse or something. It is unnatural. (Edward does this in the dub of FMA 03). They almost never use their actual voices, but continue to almost whine out every word.

An even bigger issue for me is the misinterpretation of the characters. Armin's voice in English is too old, and he's always unnaturally making his voice crack, and generally giving the impression of a big nerd. That's one way to interpret his character, I think, because he is more afraid than the others and he is smart. But I think there's a lot more to his character than that and I don't care for how he is played.

Mikasa is much more expressive in English. I don't have a huge problem with this, but it is a little bit of a misrepresentation of who she is. Also, when she is a kid, the actress tries to sound young and it sounds fake.

Eren's voice is better, but he is a little bit more obnoxious. I think Levi's voice is good; most of the others sound pretty good.

I always want there to be a good dub so that I can show anime to people who don't enjoy reading subtitles. That's the biggest issue for me. I showed Attack on Titan to my brother recently, and while he enjoys parts of it, he can't stand the way they talk because they always sound like they're crying.

I totally do not get why people would watch subs, its weird right? dubs allow you to understand tone and the language so what is the problem?

Comic_Sans said:


Why are you assuming everybody in this thread thinks understanding the language being spoken in a movie/TV series is a necessity? Not everybody has grown up in an English speaking dub country. I'd rather watch something with good acting in a language I don't understand than watch something with bad acting in a language I understand
