| There's nothing like the original. It doesn't matter how good the dub is, if a fan knows the original he will always complain. See the same thing with movies or series dubbed from english to german. It sounds like "shit", whenever you allready know the original. |
FailAtLife said: Hmm alright here goes... Okabe. Sub- Okabe sounds like he fail at life. Dub- Okabe sounds like he won at life. Hououin Kyouma sonuvabitch Kurisu. Sub- Kurisu sounds like she's japanese lollmaorofl Dub- Kurisu sounds like she's american lollmaorofl Tsundere. What's tsundere? Can I eat it? Mayuri. Sub- Mayuri is annoying. Dub- Mayuri is annoyin' Tutturuu~ What's tutturuu? You know what I'm sayin' You know what I'm sayin' --Come At Me Bro-- I pretty much agree with your comparisons, on another note, I found the dub to be good in another way, therefore if I rewatch Stein's Gate, I will probably watch the dub.

| I personally think the sub was way better, and conveyed the emotions better. > . < I'm not a dub hater..I just don't think some dubs are very good compared to the sub. |

Don't do this kind of thing, it's a crap arguing tactic and it doesn't make your post any more reliable. The sub is absolutely better, too. Apart from Daru, everyone in the sub is just better, and in particular Mayuri, Suzuha and Moeka are just downright awful in the dub. Also, just want to point out that anyone who think's the Okabe in the dub is better has no taste at all. He's okay at the humor, admittedly, but when it comes to portraying despair the sub version blows him out of the water. |

hyperknees91 said: Kurisu- The voice is just too low and mature if you ask me. She should have used the same voice she gave Lan-Fan in FMA brotherhood, but I'm sure some people won't mind. The acting is good, but sometimes her emotional lines are a bit too held back. Also I feel that she comes off a little overly harsh at times. That's exactly my only problem with the dub, others sounded good but if I watched the dub before the sub I'm not sure I would have liked Kurisu's character at all. Her low voice is fine but her character is a bit changed. |
| I'm surprised people have a problem with this dub. As much as I loved the show when I first watched it in Japanese, it's amazingly easier to follow and translates so well into English. Did you all forget how the Internet speaks in memes? Daru is genius with his leet speak and meme references. Michael J Tatum is always brilliant, and his Okabe is spot on in kookyness and flat out dick attitude at times. And Kurisu sounds even better when her voice has some confidence to back up when she goes into her tsundere bullshit. Anyway, point is, the anime itself is amazing. So who cares whether one person likes sub/dub better? |

| You know what? The dub voices sound fine, and since I watch the first episode dubbed first, it'll be hard for me to get used to sub voices. So if you don't like the dub, don't watch it and go watch the sub instead. |
 |
| It's done really well, actually. |
| Steins;Gate was one of my very first anime, when I was still unwilling to watched subbed ones, so I've watched in both sub and dub more than once. Quite frankly, I think this show has one of the best dubs ever - not only in terms of matching the quality of the original but also adding to and enhancing it. The dub script is written incredibly well - especially some of the dialogue (particularly in the first half of the show) and the humour. Makise and Okabe, 2 of my favourite characters, I felt were more expressive in the dub (of course, M.J. Tatum is simply awesome). The only complaint, or rather improvement that I'd have suggested, would be Mayuri's VA - but in my experience, English dubs have never been great at expressing the 'cute girl' voice. To its credit though, SG remains one of the only anime in which that didn't irritate me to the point where I hated the character. |

| I prefer Kurisu's english voice, simply because it matches her personality so much better than "generic cutesy anime girl voice #18438". Heck, even Mayuri's is somewhat distinct instead of "generic cutesy anime girl voice #19339". It's just weird hearing them in Japanese in the movie after watching the series in eng dub. |

| The dub is good. |

| Amazing, J. Michael Tatum is great as Okabe. |
| I'm 5 episodes into the dub so far. I don't see how anyone in their right mind can say and believe this is anywhere near bad. This may be the best dub I've heard yet. Fantastically written/adapted script, and every actor/actress is giving a natural performance. It all feels very genuine. Okabe's voice actor is especially great. Yes, Mayuri is not as good as the sub, but I don't see how it can be possible for an English alternative of Mayuri to be as good as her sub alternative in general. Mayuri's dub VA is doing a fine job as it is. EDIT: Just finished watching all 24 episodes dubbed. Easily the best dub I've ever heard. |

| The dub is great. Better than the sub, Tatum fits Okabe much better, and the dialogue is actually much better. Daru's voice is also weird in the sub. Sounds like a sexual predator. |

Wouldnt say it's great - it's doable. I honestly think 90% of the sub crew has the upperhand voice acting wise. I'm not a dub hater (have seen 5 anime that I prefer dubbed) - allthough I do think most of the dub attempts fail miserably and just dont pull the same feelings in the series as subs do. |

The dialogue in the dub is much better. It is one of the few that completely relates to a Western audience with pop culture references. |

RedRoseFring said: The dialogue in the dub is much better. It is one of the few that completely relates to a Western audience with pop culture references. Better for those who have no idea what they say in the actual japanese dialogue, to be more precise. Don't get me wrong, the sub isn't the best way to give back what the original dialogue was like, but they are still better if you actually want to know what they originally said, how it was originally meant to be, and not just "Oh Okabe should say this because translating the japanese sounds wierd. We should just go ahead and rewrite the whole dialogue"... I want to see pop culture references meant for japanese people, not westernized dialogues... It hurts me to see how much they change what they say :( And unfortunately, it's true that most dubs can't give back the feelings of the original voice acting. I only know of 4 exceptions where I either found the dub to be better than the japanese one, or on par with it. S;G is still one of the better dubs though, that's for sure :) |

I prefer references that I can understand. Not really, I just want to watch the anime as it was conceived, as it was meant to be. And it's not a problem if you can understand the references that are meant for japanese people :D Also, I feel like I don't want this to be "tainted" with the current western memes and such :/ |

Perfect. |
