Arcane had way better English dub that Japanese dub. Exactly because it was original.

@Piromysl You sure it wasn't because of poor Japanese casting? What if the English casting was ass and the Japanese fit better? Kinda throws off the whole "original being better because it's the original" narrative, huh?

@billybub Sounds like an issue with garbage streaming services, not dubs.

I stated before Dubs vs subs is nothing more than a fallacy.

Generally I tend to watch Japanese dub versions of Anime because I am a rare few in the west who can actually understand the language spoken, but the 1st time I had ever watched Anime on Netflix, I had no clue that there was ever an option to switch between English dub and Japanese dub. So for a few years every Anime I watched on Netflix I saw the English dub version 1st. Then later going back and re-watching some titles with it dubbed in Japanese just didn't sit right with me. It didn't matter which dub came 1st, it's really what one 1st gets use to.

If All Anime suddenly 1st got dubbed in English before any Japanese voice actors got to touch anything released, I doubt many people would be playing the "original language" card very long. lol

@ColourWheel there is no such thing as a "Japanese dub" when it comes to anime.

And here you are wrong. All animation is dubbed because voice acting is not recorded live while any animation is being produced in real time.

Unless you are talking about live action film, the actors are the main voice actors usually and even then they sometimes they go back and dub certain parts to make voice acting clearer.

@ColourWheel wrong dub is short for overdub ie. replacing the original audio. One cannot "dub" something that never had audio to begin with. There is a huge difference between Voice acting and dubbing

@billybub

Wrong again.

Dubbing is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production, often in concert with sound design, in which additional or supplementary recordings are lip-synced and "mixed" with original production sound to create the finished soundtrack.

Absolutely nothing to do with "replacing the original audio", that's just something you made up.

Overdubbing (also known as layering) is a technique used in audio recording in which audio tracks that have been pre-recorded are then played back and monitored, while simultaneously recording new, doubled, or augmented tracks onto one or more available tracks of a digital audio workstation (DAW) or tape recorder.

And here you are wrong. All animation is dubbed because voice acting is not recorded live while any animation is being produced in real time.

@FanofAction Possible. What you described is one of the common issues with localizations. Localizers did not cooperated directly with original creators and had to interpret characters and chose VAs themselves. Same thing happens in English dubs of Japanese anime.
