Do you think that the excuse "I can't read the subs while watching" is legitimate ?

I was waiting for someone to make this remark. It's hypocritical, but in the Japanese culture, they're not really expected to pronounce other names correctly. Considering that anime is, usually, a fairly "strictly-Japanese" medium. In which the show follows the life of Japanese people living in Japan, or some country where Japanese is spoken.
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

Indeed and when, dubbing they're targeting it to a foreign demographic, yet it's wrong for them to say the names wrongly? Since they're targeting a foreign demographic, they're no longer bound by the Japanese language.

No it's not "wrong" However, many people watch anime because, albeit only partially, they want to be inversed into some Japanese culture. Having it butchered by the VA's can be a bit of a downer for some.
I don't find it wrong for them to "butcher" the names though, for it is a venue set to target Americans. I don't think many Japanese people go out of their way to watch English Dubs.

Honestly, I do hear that a lot actually. It may be true that they are just slow readers, but I know that most people just can't stand the sound of the Japanese voice actor. I personally love subbed over dubbed. Mostly because the character's mouthing when they talk fits better with the Japanese voice actor's than the english voice actor's. Plus, while watching subs, I learned a bit of Japanese and I learned to read faster. Believe me, I was once one of those people who said they watched dubbed instead of subbed cuz they couldn't read fast. That was when I realized that the mouth and voice didn't match which bothered me haha.
The funny thing is that because I started watching subbed a long time ago, I became very fast at reading. I remember back then, my 6th grade teacher let me read more "advanced" books cuz of the "vocabulary" I learned and my reading speed... LOL, thanks anime!

The Japanese audio is added after the anime has already been animated, so it's just as prone to lip-flap as dubbed anime. The only exception to this that I can think of is Red Garden, where the audio was recorded first.

Well excuse me i think i can read the subs much better than finding the underlying "Point" in your argument.
You don't need to be physically challenged to acknowledge that you have limits regarding everything
Then fine you're mentally stunted if you can't keep up with text on screen.

The only English dub I turned away from that wasn't 4K!ds was Higurashi. That shit was inexcusable.

And yes, I'd prefer to just watch an anime instead of keeping a periphery on the entire screen despite it being second nature to me.

I remember watching anime with my step-brother a few years ago, and he had to pause the video everytime new subtitles came on, cause he couldn't manage to read them as they went and god it was annoying.

I always preferred subs over dubs, mainly because I don't really like the english language, it doesn't sound natural to me. Also growing up I watched Pokemon and other shit dubbed, but not in english, so I don't really have any relation to english dubs.

Of course it's a valid excuse I mean why wouldn't it be, some people are slow readers that's just a fact. More importantly why does it bug you that other people watch their anime in dub? It shouldn't matter what 'excuse' they have for watching dub.

For someone who watches a lot of anime, it is questionable if not being able to keep up with the subtitles is a legitimate excuse. After all, they have probably watched more than a few in anime in their original Japanese. Of course, they could just not be in the mood to read subtites, which is often why I will watch dubbed anime. However, dubs are more inviting to a causal watcher who doesn't know Japanese, which is one of the reasons it is good that dubs exist.

Also, it seems as if this topic was just made to hate on English dubs... fucking typical.

From the way you said it, I don't think you got my point. Slow reading means the "I can't read subs while watching" excuse is justified. "I can't read subs while watching because humans can't multi-task" is not. You're arguing on the former case and didn't take into consideration the latter case, thus, I was disagreeing with your argument.

And its just infuriating for me to see that this is such a common excuse.

"I prefer dubs because i don't want to read all the time when i watch the show" that's like saying even if the dubbing is terrible i don't want to read.

Well yeah. Even if the dubbing is bad I don't want to read. I switched out terrible because there's a certain point that its too much. That point is Sailor Moon. I want to watch it subbed. As for Sonic X. I don't want my eyes looking at words at the bottom when I can be taking in the art. Plus the words sometimes actually cover some of the art.

Anyways, it can be a legitimate excuse, I think. Some people may not be able to read that fast or may be poor readers. This doesn't discredit Japanese voices. This just means they prefer English or whatever their language is voices.

Not really. I honeslty don't care about the Japanese culture. To be honest, I only watch anime because I love animation. I really could care less where it came from. But it just so happens tthat Japan is really the only country that produces really high quality animation with serious storylines and dialouge. If fucking Iraq started producing animation of that caliber, I would be watching it.

If they don't want to read while they watch, then let them do so. That also doesn't mean they can't read subs. Like you said, there is a big difference between want and can't.

My mum says she sometimes can't read subs because she spends all the time watching the characters.
And when you get multiple things being said at the same time (and thus multiple subtitles on the screen at once) she can't work out who is saying what.

If I'm multitasking usually I find it hard to keep up with the subs. But I usually watch dubs > subs anyway. Some shows I just don't like the dub (Duarara!!!) so I watch it subbed but others like FLCL are done really well so I watch it dubbed.

+People might have disorders such as Dyslexia and it may cause trouble keeping up with it (depending on the severity).

Why do you care if someone says this though? Genuine question.

depends on the subs, screen size/resolution, previous reading and or sub watching experience and also the position that your in when watching.

I haven't read through the entire thread yet so I'm unsure if it's been said already, but anyone who says that they cannot read the average anime sub fast enough is just uneducated.

Seriously, for most shows, there's at most two lines of text on-screen for perhaps a good 2-3 seconds. That's a long time to read an entire sentence (any native speaker should be able to read that amount in no more than a second, assuming they can read with any level of competence).

I certainly prefer dubs to subs, but not because I'm a retard. It's a thing called personal preference. Why are you attracted to girls (or guys)? Can you specifically tell me why your mind sees certain things as attractive and others as not while other people, upon seeing the exact same thing, can find the opposite to be true?

Granted, I certainly prefer certain shows in sub (Bakemonogatari, for instance, just doesn't work in a foreign language) and am certainly no dub elitist (though I can spot the sub elitists from the few posts I've seen so far *cough**cough*), but the excuse of not being able to read is a silly cop-out.

Also, to the OP, I've never seen anyone seriously make that statement except for two anti-waps that I can recall on the spot. So it strikes me odd that you would call such an excuse "common" as opposed to "a bullshit excuse I've heard a couple of times."

The difference is that you use Mr. and Mrs. in formal situations. You don't exactly see me calling my friend Phil "Mr. Jones". The honorifics don't really bother me, but I can understand why someone may find it annoying.

We have equal burdens of proof. The thing is, official subs are prone to errors.
Can't tell you where and when, however. I like anime like my eggs - raw.

Most people here speak Japlang, many "illegal" subs are better than the official ones.

You were had.


knowing 10 words of a languages does not mean you know the language. also do you speak japanese? or have proof that the official subs are bad? because i dont know about you but i will almost always trust the professionally made official translations over the amateur fan translations


Does counting counts? 1,2..100...1000..there you go, more than 10words!

No, now seriously, i believe Jyupita is right about Official translations not being always as accurate as they could be.

Believing that the official ones are always the best is like saying, "Hershes is better than all other chocolate makers because they are a well-known, official company"
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

For people who claim that i always wonder if they have ever tried to watch a normal subbed movie.
More fool them, they miss out or have to wait years for the useless dub companies to release their inferior crap.


And they miss out on great shows like Chihayafuru that don't have dubs.


Indeed, many great anime that is not aimed at kids or man children is never dubbed.
Why would you want to deny so much great anime just because you cant read?

*cough* cowboy bebop *cough* death note *cough* baccano *cough* fate zero *cough cough*
...I hate sub vs dub threads like these. If you like the dub, WATCH THE DUB. If you like the sub, WATCH THE SUB. I love a lot of dubs the same way I hate a lot of dubs. Is that so strange?

Scott Pilgrim > Manga

the probability of getting good subs from an official company is sky high compared to the likelihood of getting good subs from a random fansubbing group. yes there are exceptions but 98% of fansub groups out there suck compared to the official subs.

He said great not bad to good. And is that all?
