I think maybe this has been asked before, but just in case it hasn't, have you ever watched an anime in another language besides Japanese and English? Maybe it was your native language. Was it particularly well-made or just very enjoyable?
Alright, I actually did this a few months ago with Flavors of Youth; since it was made by a Chinese-Japanese company, I watched it in Mandarin, which was a great decision.

I grew up watching anime in Taiwanese Mandarin via VHS. Then afterwards as an adult, I watched short anime clips in French dubbing very occasionally when there's a recommendation.

Not really. I've seen a couple Chinese anime like Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo, I've also seen a few clips from anime in different dubbed languages on YouTube and stuff, but that's about it.

It was okay though.

Sure, in few langueges other than Japanese and English, actually.

It was entertaining.

If the dubbing is done right, then - in few cases - I prefer to watch few shows in my native languege rather than stick to subtitled version.

Anime dub in my native language isn't a lot. There is only dub for Pokémon and it sucks. And it only aired on tv so Idk where to find it again.

e day, mid/late 80's I saw some episodes of several anime in Spanish/French. Either from a Sat TV dish back in DC, some Mexican? Or Argentinian TV Station, I think. In French it was here in Europe, in Belgium/France and it was funny af watching them in French.
Me every time I hear the word "reparations": 🤣🤣🤣

I watched a lot of anime in my native language, German. Netflix often only gives me the Japanese or German version, not an English option. It's probably better, at least when it comes to older anime. Or maybe that's just nostalgia speaking. Local TV apps also offer a different anime catalogue and there's a bunch of random anime uploaded to YouTube.

Yep, Spanish for some older anime with incomplete or no subs (recently had to do it for Minami no Niji no Lucy), and Chinese for Chinese cartoons.
