French is my native language. Bake and Nise both have their french dub, and it's pretty good. I just don't understand why there's not an english dub of the show, like wtf. (Considering that more people speak english than french)

Video of the french dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm0WAc7px_U
Website where to watch the french dub: https://voiranime.com/anime/bakemonogatari-vf/

If someone know why there is no english dub but a french dub, feel free to answer.

I didn’t know there even was a French dub. This is sad. I’d love a Spanish dub but I thought that there would just be an English one first

Oui le doublage fr est bon. faudrait qu'un jour je rewatch ça, j'ai pas aimé la première fois car j'ai rien compris mais peut être qu'une deuxième fois m'aidera, exactement comme en ce moment avec Toaru.

there’s no english dub for 3 reasons

1. it’s extremely hard to translate nisioisin’s wordplay to any language really. most of the jokes would get lost without a tl

2. there is 95% dialogue in the show. translating each line to english and then making sure the line matches the lip flaps is extremely hard to do. this would also cause them to have to change the meaning of some lines, which to go back to my first point that it would change the worldplay/puns

3. there’s no real incentive. monogatari has been out for more than 10 years without a dub and it’s doing just fine. many ppl have already seen the show and adding a dub now wouldn’t increase sales and bring more ppl to the show

so yeah that’s why there’s no english dub. why there’s french dub? lmfao idk maybe they were bored or something

Yeah some dub are really good and it's often easier to understand. But there's really bad ones, like soul eater (french idk for english) that are so bad that it's unwatchable.

Dont know about you, but tons of people dont force themselves to watch, and it's not just limited to anime. Like, if you want a good experience, watching it in original audio gives you that. This is my experience.

I watch a lot of animes in original language (Japanese) . Sometimes I watch some animes in English where japanese doesn't fit well or the englosh dub is really good. (Black Butler, One Punch Man, Naruto, Daily life of an immortal King [which I first watched in Mandarian but the subs were terrible] etc)

I watched some non anime shows like Money Heist (Spanish) , Narcos (English-Spanish hybrid script), Dark (German), Squid Games (Korean) in their original language. It didnt mean much, but gave me some kind of satisfaction which I think I can't explain. It's a personal preference.

I disagree with your third point. Anime has gotten massive over the last couple of years so a dub could help bring in newer fans to such a classic and well renowned series. Plus they is a lot more dubs being made right now thanks to the crunchy funi merger so I wouldn’t be surprised that once Bakemonogatari moves over to Crunchyroll they start producing a dub, almost every Monogatari entry is on Crunchyroll anyways apart from The kizu trilogy, Nekomonogatari black, koyomimonogatari and zoku Owarimonogatari (and also Bakemonogatari but that’s on Funimation so it’s bound to move over sooner than later). Though your other 2 points are valid though there can definitely be work arounds for them.

Bakemonogatari is on crunchyroll just not episodes 13-15. It may vary by region. I’m basing it off of the U.S

Ah right here in Australia it’s only on Funimation, hopefully it’s gets on Crunchyroll here soon because that would be convienent

As someone who speaks french fluently and has it as my second language, yeah, this is pretty good. It even maintains the rhythm of the original
