Anime Lovers!

Hey all you anime lovers... talk here cause i'm bored... :D

 

Japanese voices with English subtitles are better than the English dub. Ex. A: Light's laugh at the end of Death Note. Japanese voice: awesome. English voice: screwed it up. Ex. 2: Near's voice. See previous results.

 

Hear hear!

Also, sometimes personalities are diluted more in English. For example: Kisuke Urahara in BLEACH spoke in a ridiculously polite style, while the English didn't even hint at it.

English sucks.

 

I think wannabe otakus should stop complaining about the dubs.


I also think that Naruto and the yaoi that comes with it is a crime against humanity.

 

I think it would have been a lot better if he didn't squeek towards the beginning of the laugh.

But overall yes... the English Dubs are terrible for the most part. Elfen Lied had a terrible dub.

The only dub I liked was Chobits.

 

Spoken like a true brother or sister of anime. That is why I want to get Rosseta Stone for my laptop so I can learn Japanese. So what if I am American and have to know English? I want to live in Japan and be able to understand what they are saying.

Actually I used to hate Englished subbed with Japanese voices but after I got to Bleach where it was subbed, I prefered it a whole lot. Now I am not saying that English voice actors are bad, they just need to stick to what their Japanese predacessor did. Ex.: I like the Englsh voice actor for Mr. Urahara. And as
the quote above this says, there is no ridiculously poilte manner of talking on english. They even took out the -kuns, -chans, and the -sans for Pete's sake. If I ever make a manga that is good enough to become an anime, I am going to require the anime makers to follow the storyline and even in the English version, use the -kuns, -chans, and anything else I use.

 

ZOMG You stole Sara's Avy! xD

I disagree. That's not always true. A dub can be just as good as the Japanese subtitled version. In my opinion the Death Note dub and sub were equal. Not to mention that I found Light's Japanese laugh to be annoying and I thought his English one was awesome.

 

True. It all depends on your own personal experience with anime. Me, I personally like L's dubbed voice but that is because I have only heard his dubbed voice. I prefer the voice of Urahara's english voice but he could be like his Jap. counterpart in my opinion. I like Ichigo's Jap. voice better because I am use to it more. Now everytime I read Bleach manga, I hear the japanese voice saying the american words. Same goes with Naruto.

 

i wouldn't say English sucks if your typing in it but I do see your point but i blame the terrible voice actors who all sound like a bunch of door men (even the women) and the writers who had to change certain things to make it easier to understand for America/United Kingdom. Such as speaking method could be done differently but on the same context but the writers cannot see this.

i'd say more but i'd start a war XD
