| I'm pretty intrigued to see how this dub turns out to be. |
 |
| I wonder if we will get hamfisted lines about the "patriarchy" like we did in Kobayashi-san Chi no Meidoragon. Since it's a predominately female cast, I'm sure we will get random insertions of feminism in place of lines that have nothing to do with gender. Whoever takes such liberties with the script should be fired. Funimation fucking sucks. |

I certainly hope none of that shit happens here, but after Kobayashi-san I've lost any sort of faith or trust in Funimation dubs. And let's be honest, how often are they even well voiced acted to begin with? Just more and more reason to always watch subs. |

| Is MAL getting paid for these news? How many dub casts go unannounced? (Not that I want any announcements at all, mind you.) |

Swagernator said: Yep, and there was another time where they inserted something about that Gamergate thing into the dub of Prison School and the guy behind it gloated about it. So many anime fans were unhappy. These script writers shouldn't be taking liberties like this.Jak said: I wonder if we will get hamfisted lines about the "patriarchy" like we did in Kobayashi-san Chi no Meidoragon.

Whoever takes such liberties with the script should be fired. Funimation fucking sucks. Like seriously this happens ? what the hell. Yeah, I thought it was fake at first, but they're real. Check some of the problem dub clips on YouTube if you get the chance. They say politically charged shit that not only has no place in the source material but would actually insult the creator if he knew about it. Nearly rewriting a conversation and indirectly a character's personality just to further the interests of the screenwriter is not okay. I watch anime partly to get away from this shit that's festering in Western media. I'm not entirely familiar with the situation, but apparently this also happened with Prison School's dub (which is hilariously out of place). |

Drachen said: I'm not entirely familiar with the situation, but apparently this also happened with Prison School's dub (which is hilariously out of place). Yeah there was a scene where one of the main characters was talking to his senpai and she said something along the lines of "You should respect your elders," which somehow in the English dub got translated to "You're not one of those Gamergate creeps, are you?" The scene took place in an arcade so in that context the line makes sense, but taking those kinds of liberties with the dialogue is just dumb. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| NICE! Even though I still watched the subbed version, I think the dubbed version could work. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. |
 |
| Can't wait for all the le gamurgate jokes. |
thebrentinator24 said: No. It did not make sense even in that context. It was some butthurt person with a political agenda destroying a line that should have translated perfectly to suit their own agenda. It was a hamfisted line that doesn't age well at all.

I mostly meant the fact that it would "make sense" to reference Gamergate in a gaming environment. But I agree that overall the line didn't work and felt very out of place in the conversation, and they should have directly translated what was said in the Japanese version instead of trying to push an agenda. Like how hard is that? I could understand if the original line was something only Japanese people would get, but it's literally "respect your elders," something everyone understands regardless of the language. |

Higurashi7777 said: That too and the irony is a lot of those people are the same kind of people who say we should "accept" other cultures. What they mean is accept culture that they find "acceptable".Jak said: I wonder if we will get hamfisted lines about the "patriarchy" like we did in Kobayashi-san Chi no Meidoragon.

Whoever takes such liberties with the script should be fired. Funimation fucking sucks. I don't know if you are aware of it or not, but this is a problem of literally ALL DUBS. All dubs have retarded translations exactly like all games translated officially from Japanese. This is the main problem of the dubs. If you add soulless voice acting to this, then you have something totally unwatchable. That's why most of people are hating dubs from the bottom of their hearts. Dubs are made for kids or poor-minded/xenophobic people who can't accept other cultures and/or way of thinking. |
| I'm in shock while reading your responses guys, glad that i'm sub only watcher. I always knew that there is political correctness, sjw and soulless voice performance in dubs but this is too much. |
|
| Maybe they deliberately screw up the English dubs to push people to watch the sub. What a plot twist that would be. |
| Wow! The only thing that seems to be mentioned here is people's hate for dubs. I haven't watched this yet or Kobayashi dub, which many are complaining about, but I definitely don't think the majority of dubs suck, overall. I watch both subs and dubs, and both of them tend to have an equal amount of good and bad ones. Take High School DxD. I personally don't feel much passion at all coming from the Japanese cast when the English cast is showing enthusiasm left and right The real issue here is the New Game! dub though. I'll probably give the New Game! dub a chance and I'll just hope it's good. I should probably try Kobayashi dub too. |

Ok. |
| lul people still watch dubs? |
 |
| It's looks like a good show has a good cast and once I can get a FUNi Subscription this is definitely gonna be one of the first things I'm watching :) |
  All the Anime's on my list are all one's I own Personal physical copies of, or have seen in theaters that I plan on buying, series that I've watched on FUNimation or HIDIVE will not be on here unless/until I have already bought it. |
