| That's why you should always watch Hellsing with the Eng dub. Since the characters are British and the dub has the characters speaking with a British accent. |
 |
| yes, that's why I watched ramayana in hindi and baccano in american |
    |
| Well I watched Attack on Titan in German dub, did you? |
| Yes if u didnt watched cowboy bebop without eng dub, the journey without arab dub, and ping pong without chinese dub |
 |

| That's why I refuse to watch The Lord of the Rings until the Sôval Phâre dub comes out. |
 |
| I want a Great Pretender dub where the characters always speak the language they canonically speak. They only did that for the first half episode... |
| Yes I always thought about it. Monster should be watched in german, and Jojo Golden Wind in italian. |
 |
| I object to the notion that I watched Candy Candy wrong. JaniSIr said: Tekken games do that. It's pretty fun, but the game I played didn't subtitle the English voice acting.I want a Great Pretender dub where the characters always speak the language they canonically speak. They only did that for the first half episode... |

| I want to watch the namek saga in namekian, unfortunately it's not available anywhere. |
 |
| Waiting for Cyberpunk Edgerunners where everyone will speak in their langs especially Lucy in Polish. I wonder if Piano no Mori has Polish version as it should. And many more. ateks said: Well I watched Attack on Titan in German dub, did you? What abour Riko Brzeńska? She should speak only Polish in AoT according to that thread x). Deletov and Lobov in Russian, few background characters in Hebrew, Azumabito in Japanse, Zermusky [Zeremski in wiki] - Can be idk Polish, Serbian, Russian, Yugoslavian. It is clear that Wit and Mappa has been lacking and lazy to cover the anime in proper languages for all the characters |
Zettaiken said: I highly doubt the Japanese protagonists can put together even a single sentence in Polish.I wonder if Piano no Mori has Polish version as it should. |

Lucifrost said: Zettaiken said: I highly doubt the Japanese protagonists can put together even a single sentence in Polish.I wonder if Piano no Mori has Polish version as it should. Piano no Mori begins with Polish words x) as it begins with "Panie Ichinose proszę się przygotować" which is quite properly spoken you can just activate the first episode and hear it by your own ears so if they'd try hard they woud do that, maybe. |
| i just prefer to watch original dub no matter what language, because original dub = original script/original voice, so if its anime i will always watch japanese dub even if the story is set in europe because the original dub is japanese. the same with human movies, if im watching french movies i will watch it with french dub, etc. |

| Should we go a step further? For example in Monster Tenma meets two British people and they don't know German so in that episode should we all watch the English dub? Also the Journey sounded great in Arabic. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Does that mean that anime like Emma that doesn't have an English dub and Romeo no Aoi Sora that doesn't have an Italian dub are impossible to watch properly? I don't think you're watching it wrong to watch a dub that isn't the one of the characters' canon voices even if one is available. Sometimes a different dub actually has the best voice acting, or the dub of the character's voices might not be subbed in your language meaning watching it that way would leave you with an incomplete experience as you try to figure out what's going on. There's a Swedish dub for Wonderful Adventures of Nils laying around somewhere, but if you manage to find it you won't get much out of it if you don't speak Swedish. Better just to watch the Japanese dub with English subtitles. Also, it's just not very nice to tell people they're watching an anime in the wrong way. |

| This is why I need an Italian dub of part five of Jojo like yesterday (Netflix needs to get on that). And there should be somewhere that I can watch the Chinese dub of "Mo Dao Zu Shi" but I had no luck finding that. |
 |
| i mean you can apply this for any piece of media, tbh tv series dubs are usally bad though... |

| You can watch the anime in whatever language. |
MalchikRepaid said: I only understood 1/4 of this based on my knowledge of Russian. Oh forgot to write the translation my bad. It says "Mister Ichinose, please prepare yourself [mainly said before doing something/leaving etc.]" |
| Nah, you should always watch anime in whatever form you think best. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| The one true way to watch JoJo: |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| Is there a Tekken anime series where, like in Tekken 7 and maybe 6, each character speaks their own native language and not just only English or only Japanese? |
 |
| Having to switch between English, Japanese, and French dubs of Stardust Crusaders depending on who's talking would be incredibly annoying, lol. I don't think anyone in their right mind would ever do that. |
| Holy shit, new @Dragevard thread that is actually good?! Rarer than a blue moon. That said, no, generally any language other than Japanese has bad quality. |
| No, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to watch anime... |
| i dunno, all i know is if you watchin princess principal, and everyone ain't speakin bri'ish, you ain't watching it at all |
 "86 part one is far better than part two and one of the most masterfully told stories i have ever seen" -bocchi 'the rock' johnson real quote. she said it not me |
| Watching Jojo's Part 3 in a splice together of the various dubs so that Jotaro and Kakyion speak Japanese, Joesph and DIO speak English, Avdol speaks Arabic and Polnareff speaks French just to ensure I'm fully immersed |
