All dubs are awful, I cannot understand how anyone can resist 5 minutes listening to dubbed media. The only good dub I have ever encountered in japanese media was in the Metal Gear series.

You can't stop that feeling and that's a good sign. It means you are an educated anime watcher. Dubs are just bad lmao.

Good or bad dubs are not authentic to the show, it's OK to avoid them.

You just get accustomed to sub. I also finding hearing dubs really jarring now.

My exceptions to this are things like Pokemon and Naruto. I grew up with the dubs and would never watch those shows in sub haha. It's just what you get used to.

like subs are authentic either? fansubs would often spam a bunch of explanations for foreign audiences, is that authentic too?


It's ok to not watch dubs, but there's no need to bash on them when they are a perfectly valid way to enjoy anime.

Point is - you can hear the authentic VA work not some reinterpretation by foreigners.
Yes translation can be obstructive and outright stupid, hiring actors to read it doesn't change anything if it's bad to begin with.

I tried once, but I just can't, I always cringe when listening dubs I don't know why
