I know they absolutely loved Yuri on Ice's dubbing, and their reactions on Niconico were hilarious.

But honestly, did people expected something different ? It's not like this is some kind of secret.

You don't need a reaction video to realize the English VAs are fucking dogshit. No one takes anime seriously here, even if the recent ones are supposedly better, they still need a lot of work to sound at least authentic.

Some dubs can be transcendentally bad however, and drag a so down so much that it elevates it.

I believe the dubs of the Akito The Exiled OVA series to be of this quality.

Why are you mocking OP for revealing that Japanese people prefer Japanese audio, thus implying that it's only natural that they do?

I watch English speaking shows in English despite it not being my native tongue. People aren't genetically programmed to prefer their native language just because it's their native language.

Yes, the implication here is "because they don't speak English/aren't good at the language, they aren't able to judge the quality of the dub. Silly Japs ay lmao xD". Yet at the same time you, a person who doesn't speak Japanese, have claimed you are able to judge the quality of Japanese dubs not only once, but twice (from what I've seen, you've probably done it more times):The implication here is "Japanese dubs aren't superior, just listen to the terrible Japanese Black Clover dub!" but according to your own logic you shouldn't be able to judge whether the original version of BC is inferior to its English counterpart or not since you don't speak Japanese. In other words, this is a great example of the dub elitist double think I was talking about in post #5.

First and foremost, I NEVER said that subs are inferior. I just never claimed that dubs are inferior to that of subs. If dubs were actually bad, companies like Funimation and Sentai Filmworks would have ceased to exist long ago. I've been enjoying dubs, and no regrets.

And, apparently, I'm not the one who said the original is bad, it's all you guys who claimed that. Don't believe me? Check out the forums for yourself.

Please, I've seen you post in Subs VS Dubs threads before. If you don't want to stand behind your words then don't write them to begin with.
If dubs were actually bad, companies like Funimation and Sentai Filmworks would have ceased to exist long ago. I've been enjoying dubs, and no regrets.
If child labor were actually bad then it would've ceased to exist long ago.

If Adam Sandler were a bad comedian then he would've had to quit acting a long time ago.

If Hitler had been a bad person then he wouldn't have become the leader of Germany back in the 1930s.

See now why your logic doesn't work? Just because something is common or popular it doesn't mean that it's a good thing.
And, apparently, I'm not the one who said the original is bad, it's all you guys who claimed that. Don't believe me? Check out the forums for yourself.
So now all of a sudden you think people can judge the voice acting in a language they don't understand/aren't fluent in despite claiming otherwise only a few posts ago? You can't claim something logically inconsistent and then suddenly switch to something else that also goes against your logic.

Actually that argument doesn't work with the fact that if a dub sounds and is scripted badly, because its popular its good.

By that logic (and @Comic_Sans can probably get this) is the Danganronpa 3 anime a good dub because it didn't went down in terms of sales or popularity, despite the abridge-liked writing in the dub when its supposed to be official?

People can criticize dubs whether it be from scripts to sounds. Using the "If the dubs were bad then the publishers wouldn't have existed" doesn't work because you're measuring the amount of dubs they have made rather than the quality in question of said dubs.

Note I'm not saying all dubs are bad or anything but there are some legit bad dubs that can really put the experience for some people down.

English dubbed versions of every anime will almost all the time fall flat compared to the Japanese dubbed. You don't have to be Japanese to end up having the same opinion because if you've watched enough anime, you can always tell from simple pronunciation of Japanese names and terms that they aren't pronounced correctly. The same way some people cringe when they hear 'Engrish' in an anime. The difference is that anime obviously and naturally consist mostly of Japanese dialogues so hearing a few 'Engrish' doesn't drop it enough to a point where you can say Japanese dubbed is bad but if you compare the amount of 'Engrish' in Japanese dubbed anime to the amount of Japanese names and terms being mentioned in an English dubbed anime, you start to notice how worse it is in English dubbed anime.

Yes, generally speaking. anime is better in the Japanese dubbed version than in the English dubbed version but there are very few cases where the English dubbed version is almost as good as the Japanese dubbed version that it made me watch and re-watch these series on English dubbed instead.

If you're one of the people who detest English dubbed but is still willing to give it a try in a hope to find a good one then I suggest you give Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex a try. These are the two series that I absolutely prefer the English dubbed version over the Japanese dubbed version. Not to say it is better but they are done so well that they end up being a preference. Arguably, there's also Code Geass, Death Note and 5 Centimeters Per Second. I like the English dubbed versions of these series as well but not to the point where I can say without hesitation that I prefer them over Englished dubbed. In this case, either way works.

There's not a lot of good English dubbed anime but they definitely exist.
Death Note for example I would say is equally as good if not better than the Japanese dub.
Dragonball ... well for me the English dub fit them perfect but then again I watched it at a really young age on TV and never experienced the Japanese dub, now whenever I hear Goku talk in Japanese he sounds WAY too high pitched for my liking.

I've also had a few other shows that I've seen in the English dub that did their job just fine;
- Afro Samurai
- Black Lagoon
- Cowboy Bebop
- Ergo Proxy
- Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
- Spirited Away
- Steamboy
- Trigun

Overall the Japanese dub is just better in almost every show though.

Also I'm neither Japanese or English.

Dubs will always be inferior. Part of the dubbing process is creating new dialogue to sync with lip movements even if the dialogue doesn't convey the intended meaning. So some dubs will be more faithful to the original, but none of them are perfect.

Add that to the fact that pretty much nobody in the Japanese to English localization industry takes dubbing seriously and you've got a recipe for a terrible end product 98% of the time.

If you want to watch what the creators intended, watch the subbed version.

As a person who has studied Japanese a bit, and can pick out at least some Japanese conversations, I still like dubs, although I watch both.

It really depends on what you watch first. If you watched an entire series subbed, and then hear it dubbed later, it's going to sound strange to you. The same goes if you saw an Anime dubbed first, then the Japanese voices will sound strange.

I couldn't imagine watching Akira or Slayers subbed, because I grew up with Cam Clarke as Kaneda, and Lisa Ortiz as Lina Inverse, and the Japanese voices would just sound weird to me.

But I'm not here to argue that dubs are better.

Subs>Dubs.



This doesn't make much sense. It's unfair to ask Japanese about dubs, because they might not understand English well? But it's fine to ask non-Japanese about sub when 90% of them don't speak Japanese beyond "arigatou" and "kawaii"?

Can't blame them since they're used to hearing their native language after all

Oh, no I did not notice, I'm very sorry.

>"I prefer the original because I don't understand English much."

So this is what this sub vs. dub debate has come to, eh? Grasping at the opinion of Japanese viewers' opinion on English dubs as an argument for dubs being objectively inferior.

Look, watch whatever the hell you want, but this is not proof of dubs being inferior. Hell, wanting to watch something in your native language is the reason dubs exist in the first place. Try thinking before you make a thread or post for a change, OP (though that's unlikely to happen anytime soon).
