| Dub would just ruin it... |
O'Hai :D |
| Seeing as how it was Sentai who picked it up, we have a 50-50 chance. I couldn't be bothered either way, but I'd watch the dub just to see how it works out. I agree with Wendee Lee being the best possible choice for everybody Tomoko. |

What do you mean 'not licensed'? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-07-07/sentai-filmworks-licenses-watamote-anime And seriously, do people still use 'weeaboo'? Hasn't that word been eradicated from the English language yet? Also, what's wrong with someone not wanting a dub? |

Nobody has used the word "w---b--" here on MyAnimeList during the past year, with one exception last month. I also checked on AnimeNewsNetwork. They are still using the word "w---b--", but not too often. Checking Urban Dictionary, hardly anybody has been updating the definitions there in recent years. On the internet at large, there are still people who use the term. So definitely it should not be removed from the dictionary. However, it looks like it is out of fashion these days.

| Non, non, non. It's like eating pasta with strawberries........ |
| It sounds very cringe-worthy. Do it. |
Kawaiimikichan2 said: FastWheels said: you obviously don't know the definition. a weaboo is someone trying to be better than everyone else by not only using Japanese words incorrectly by mixing them with English, but thinking people who watch dubs are inferior. and yea congrats on being a "true fan" you're not only that, but ur super ignorant. and maybe my user name is based off an actual anime character, oh that's right you wouldn't know. at least i know what kawaii and chan are used for... why? do you not? anyways i would appreciate if i kept this post clean and free of negative attitudes like urself. i have no problem with people that perfer to watch with the original audio. feel free to express your opinion, but please be considerate to other people. maybe you'll make more friends that way.Kawaiimikichan2 said: Jeller said: The anime isn't even licensed, there's no dub to be seen in quite a long time (if there even is one) and you're already saying it sucks.

He was just voicing his opinion on this matter. Oh, and Kawaii = Cute -chan is a way of addressing a child, or it can be used as a affectionate way of addressing others. On top of that, Kawaii and chan aren't parts of a name. |

| Hi Kawaiimikichan2. The art that you created and posted on your http://keroppi17.deviantart.com website is great. Wish I could do that. |
| Hi Dateyutaka. I always enjoy your comments. However, this time I don't quite understand what you mean. Are you talking about クレヨンしんちゃん ? I would say that クレヨンしんちゃん would be difficult to dub, since it is relatively culture-specific. Maybe that is why it is not so well-known overseas. On the other hand, it seems that Watamote is enthusiastically welcomed by fans outside of Japan. Also, there is not so much content in Watamote that requires specific knowledge about Japan. The same goes for Sazae-san (サザエさん). It is very, very specific to the Japanese culture, and it has never been dubbed. However, it is a huge hit in Japan. |
| I agree that the artistic integrity of the work is always damaged to some extent by dubbing. Sometimes it is less severe. Sometimes it is more severe. In this case (which you just mentioned from Azumanga Daioh) the entire joke made no sense at all in the English-dubbed version: [Studying for the English Mid-term] Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: Say... like, for "Blue Three [Bruce Lee] Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: ", would that mean that "Blue" is his last name? Kagura: That was random. Tomo Takino: HaHaHa! Osaka, thats so dumb. "Blue Three [Bruce Lee] Tomo Takino: " is a foreigner, isn't he? Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: Mmm-hmm. Tomo Takino: That means, his last name has got to be "Three". Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga, Kagura: ...oh! Kagura: I never knew that! You're awsome, Tomo. Tomo Takino: Yeah, I know. Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: Ok... but I wonder what happened to "One" and "Two"? [Blue Three is imagined beating up One and Two a'la Bruce Lee] Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: You know, I guess that means "Blue Five" or there about woul be Jackie Chan, huh? Tomo Takino, Kagura: ...oh! [a bird lands on Osaka's head, then flies away] As AnimeNewsNetwork explained, "In case you didn't get the Bruce Lee joke in Episode 13, here's a short explanation: many Japanese people have difficulty pronouncing foreign names. At the same time, they have trouble pronouncing 'r' and 'l', as they use the same katakana or hiragana character. In addition, 'th' is pronounced 's', as they use the same character as well. As a result, Bruce Lee (ブルース・リー) can be mistakenly pronounced as "Blue Three" (ブルー・スリー)." I definitely agree that Watamote would lose, artistically, through being dubbed. But I still think that a lot of western fans would welcome it. In the same way, books in one language are routinely translated into other languages. They always suffer in the translation. |

| Can we be unrealistic? I want James Earl Jones to be Tomoko. |
| Let's go bowling. |
| Since I started watching it in English sub, I wouldn't be interested in English dub version. I find it to be funnier this way. |

| Yonako-kitti said: Are you seriously censoring the word w---b-- right now? Not at all. People can use any word that they want here on MAL, subject to some basic rules. The usage of words does vary over time. Some new words come in while other old words go out. If somebody else wants to bring back that old passé word "w---b--" then I am totally okay with that. However, it is SOOO 2006. |

| It would be a hit or miss. I mean, this show depends so much on Tomoko, her voice and her monologues. If she is voiced by a good voice actor even then there are chances, that it would not be as good. But well, no harm in trying. |
 |
| I never watch dubs anyway so i dun give a fuck |
كنت تهدر وقتك عن طريق ترجمة هذه. mattbenz99 said: Christians and Satanists are technically the same thing |
| Then Tomoko is going to need a super good English VA. Since, she's the only one talking most of the time. |
| No thanks I'm fine with just reading the translations at the bottom of the screen. if they made a dub that would just totally ruin the anime and watching the anime in english would just make me feel awkward especially if my mum just appears out of nowhere while im watching. |
Kawaiimikichan2 said: Who would you want to see if there was a dub? Do you think the dub would suck and totally ruin the show? State your opinion below :3 Having been around this forum long enough, I think you're just barking up the wrong tree altogether. You're pretty much expected to get a heavily biased, knee-jerk "no" to that question. |
| I was thinking that Yuu Kobayashi can do better. Oh dear, I can't even imagine the horror .LOL Even thou I don't listen to dub , but I think others who prefer dub need to watch this its educational. I am very happy if more people watching the same show I watch xD. |
| I couldn't care less, since I never watch English dubs anyway... however, I think Tomoko's VA is perfect, and I don't really think someone can compete. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
DateYutaka said: Crayon Shin Chan References are Lucky star before lucky Star if Lucky Star or Azumanga could get dubbed dectaly accurately[ minus Blue Three /Bruce lee joke] then why cannot shin chan be also i just want artistic interagry is all Sazae will never be dubbed cuase of the rules of how the anime was maed in the first place Oh and why is that??? P.S. What is the anime's full name? |

| Hi kandiiyuutaamu: "Sazae-san (サザエさん) is a Japanese comic strip created by Machiko Hasegawa. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sazae-san As I recall, DateYutaka does not post here often, so I don't know if he is reading the thread. If you have a question for him, it might be good to post a comment on his profile.  |

| MAL is not the right site to ask such a question. Just look at the damn titles in the database. |

Just look at the damn titles in the database. I was not saying you aren't allowed to, I'm saying it's pointless because you'll get few, if any, serious answers. It's just that kind of place. EDIT: Basically just like Hypeathon said. |

| I can just see Jessica Calvello voicing Tomoko. XD |
 |
| Hmmm.....Well I liked the Japanese voices. But I'm looking forward to it being in English because I loved the anime and want to share it with a few of my friends but they only watch anime in English. |
