VAs of different languages of the same character. I feel that this should be explored/discussed more often. We obviously have substantial info on the Japanese and English dubs all around, but I'm glad this site is trying to compile more of that info on other languages. I like how different each of the VAs are for every character too. For example, same German one: https://myanimelist.net/character/19569/Sawako_Yamanaka https://myanimelist.net/character/1111/CC Same Italian one: https://myanimelist.net/character/166439/Marin_Kitagawa https://myanimelist.net/character/17576/Fumu (or Tiff) Same Portuguese (BR) one: https://myanimelist.net/character/117917/Ochako_Uraraka https://myanimelist.net/character/209380/Uta Seriously, you'll be surprised how deep this rabbit hole goes. I also believe we're lacking any info on other dubs like Hindi and Arabic (and maybe more, but we'll just name a few for brevity's sake). Is anyone able to get more of that? |

| Yes there are definitely different dubbing languages depending on local markets, but Japanese and English will always remain the most important because Japan & USA are the biggest markets. |

| Polish dubs are not in mal/anilist/anidb sites etc. , despite being present and created for Netflix mainly. [Maybe one TV Station have anime with dubbing, I am not following any tv-related stuff so I am not sure about stuff outside Netflix.] From dubbingpedia [didn't know it exist before] here's the stuff which got dubbed in my language: Akuma kun, Baki Hanma, Bakugan Battle Planet, Bastard, Blue Period, Cyberpunk Edgerunners and more - too lazy to write all of them and search. Honorable Mention - Arcane and Castlevania. Same voices [few examples I'll find]: Maciej Dybowski - David Martinez Cyberpunk, Ekko - Arcane [same for game], Iwao Akatsuki - Spriggan, Ichiro Umoregi/Akuma kun II - Akuma kun, Manabe - Ooku the inner chambers, Scott Pilgrim, Julia Łukowiak - Lucy - Cyberpunk, Kusu + Hoppa + 2 characters [idk how they are called officially] - Dragon Ball Super, Mira Dianus - Magi Adventure of sinbad, Lusamine - Pokemon movies/series, Rena Kashiwagi - Romantic Killer Zuzanna Galia - Rebecca - Cyberpunk, Meray - Pokemon Hoopa clash of ages, Heide and Princess Allie - Pokemon XY, Katie Amy and Hidabat - Yokai Watch, Kakunsa and Shantza - Dragon Ball Super, Ririka Momobami - Kakegurui, Atsuko - Little witch academia, Koharu Hidaka - Hi Score Girl, Amalia Schultz - Yakitori, Too lazy to search for more but there's alot of them. At least Dawid Podsiadło is in database for singing the Ending of Cyberpunk Edgerunners + Soundtrack. Quite ironic that CP:E is a cooperation between Poland and Japan and the Polish dub is not even mentioned in anime related list sites, aswell as some staff members are not mentioned especially these who were responsible for soundtracks and inserts theme songs as majority [I think it is majority/or a half of it not sure] of music in CPE are created by Polish staff [vocals, music, writing] - Don Diego Cichy, Antigama, Zjednoczenie Soundsystem, PT Adamczyk, Piotr Maciejewski, PAFF, Rafał Kłoczko, Ugory, Private Press, Earth Trax and many more x) |
Wait, wait...most of the english language dubs are made in Canada, but there's no canadian flag? (Another option would be just putting the Union Jack to simply indicate english.) The chinese flag being the lowest is a bit (well a lot) prejudice. If the the donghua I am watching can be any point of reference, those guys have some absurdly good VAs. |

| Japanese is the only language where I know numerous VAs by name, but there are a bunch of German ones that I at least recognize, even if I don't know their names. I generally watch sub only but every now and again I watch something in German or French (either because I'm interested in watching it that way because of the setting/theme or because I'm watching with a younger person who can't read yet). So far I haven't watched any English dubs that I thought were good unfortunately (ah, except Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and Persona 4 Golden, but those are video games). |

| @alshu Nobody likes Britain's ruining the American language with their funny accents. Also, that's what you got from where the CN one is? |
| I heard the Latin American Spanish dub of Dragon Ball Z is extremely popular and really good, but it seems very hard to track down for people outside of Spansih speaking countries. The last time it was released here in the US to my knowledge was on the Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Uncut Editions which were never finished unfortunately |
