Well, actually, I understand Japanese, so, no. You are completely wrong. Even the most localized subs (aka cummie-tier crap) are still FAR MORE ACCURATE and LESS alternated than ANY dub.


Kenny_Stryker said:

Censorship? When was the last time you watched a dubbed anime? A decade ago? Censorship doesn't happen in this era, unless the original Japanese version is censored. In that case, the uncensored Blu Ray version dub is later released.

Censorship doesn't only mean visual changes.

> Shitty VA? Have you ever watched a dubbed anime? Oh, I'm pretty sure you have watched that fandubbed Dragon Ball to defame dubbed anime. You have managed to convince me that last time you watched a dubbed anime was a decade ago.

Let me ask you, are you deaf?

In your dreams, my burger bro.
And you mentioned a Clannad dub. Yeah, you are deaf.

You are a troll, please be a troll.

I am one of the people that started anime with dubs and then switch to subs entirely. I watched Ghost in the shell, Samurai 7, Ran the samurai girl , DBZ, etc. with dubs but when rewatch them in subs, it bring an entirely new experience for me.
I don't like dubs since my first language is not English anyway but I won't even watch the dub in my own language. I prefer to watch everything in it original language since the dialogue fit better with the animation, the emotion is also better and more natural. With subs, I can watch more anime and don't have to wait.
There are plenty of cartoon and American movies that were dubs in Japanese but I don't watch them. There is no way I am gonna watch Scooby Doo in Japanese even if one of the VA in there is my most favorite VA. With comedy like Gintama, dubs cannot bring out the jokes very well and then turn to the solution of changing lines which in turn, kill the essence of the anime. Like the "Gintama, Kintama" joke that only make sense in Japanese.

By the way, "dubs > subs" is a bait-worthy title. Everyone can watch dub or sub, whatever they like but to me "original > dubs"


tbh, people who are not english have no right to an opinion


Say what? You didn't say anything specific about English dubs or not. And even Donald Trump has to acknowledge that I am a American citizen and I have every right to say my opinion in an online forum.
PS: your grammar are gonna attract an grammar nazi.

Adult male otaku? The same ones who demanded an official dub for the franchise. I only glanced at it because of the complaints from said fans. The situation reminded me of the old Yugi-oh. I didn't think this kind of dubs still exist.

So you don't know that more than half of the fanbase of the precure franchise consist of adult otaku? That is why there are a lot of precure H-doujinshi.

Nope. Dubfags are the problem. No one is telling you to stop watching dubs, but you just need to accept the fact that dubs are made for less inteligent people/kids/stereotypical average Americans. Like seriously.

>dumbed down, highly alternated, often SJWed translations
>censorship
>a lot of localization which in most cases changes whole characters and their personalities
>Shitty VAs who can't even pronounce names, not mentioning about other things
>emotionless voice acting
>full culture washout

In the end, you are basically watching a totally different series. And as I said. Of course, you can take a low-tier way to watch anime, but don't try to convince anyone that dubs are better (or even close to original or subs).


You are totally delusional if you think that subs are superior than dubs or dub is made for 'less intelligent' people. You have given no sources to prove your point to be accurate (or even a little bit convincing), that is what I call being 'less intelligent'.

Due to not being intelligent and unable to comprehend dubs, you're now convinced that subs are better than dubs.

My personal favorite dub is squid girl. lol .. but there are many that i love.. certain voice actors appeal to me a lot especially christine cabanos as squid girl, mako(kill la kill), and minarin(toradora). Luci Christian is also CRAZY good. like she has done so much stuff... lol but i think my favorite dub she was in was as Hestia in Danmachi.

this doesn't make sense to me. If English dubs have the chance to make something better by changing or adding/removing directly to/from the line to make it appeal more to an english audience, they should. and a lot of times, that means it's going to be different than the original translation, and more than just syntax.

Maybe DateYutaka worries that inaccurate localization would make people have some misunderstanding about his culture. In my opinion, if someone translate something from my culture, I would want the translation as accurate as possible. I, myself, also love to know the exact translation of something from different cultures.

I like both sub and Dub, as long as I'm able to watch anime. But my mum tells me what is the piont of watching something you don't understand, and I always tell her IT'S SUBTITLED! But she doesn't understand my point.

oh trust me, we won't be misunderstanding anything about the Japanese culture because of anime. we've been getting weird stuff from Japan for a long time. If anything, it's been a lot more tame as of late.

K. It is just a matter of preference. I prefer something as accurate as the original as possible since I want to understand the author's intention. The same for movies, novels, poems, etc.

yeah, idk if you have a right to judge. I've been watching dubs for a VERY long time... my favorite movie when I was little was a dubbed french cartoon. and I was not only a part of the anime boom in the west, but i helped popularize it in my city. It wasn't until the millennium I started to meet people I didn't know that was into anime. Before then, everyone I knew that watched anime was by my influence.

@jarring

As long as it is not too over-the-top like changing the name of the characters into English ones or removing cultural aspect completely , everything else is fair game. I like good dubs from old anime like Cowboy Bebop.

The Glitter Force I mentioned has an episode where the MC goes to Kyoto for a field trip and the dub changed it into an Asian Expo trip, this is what I call going overboard.

it makes sense. If a lot of the setting can be interchangeable like that, then why not? Like, if English watchers can't see any difference, all the more reason to have that change. What they call it doesn't really matter as much as whether or not the animation itself allows it.

They cut out the episodes that was obviously too Japanese. The audience are 12 and younger girls so I guess it is fine with them. Adult will notice that there is something wrong but then they would have gone and seen the original. More shows for little girls to watch.

They cut out the episodes that was obviously too Japanese. The audience are 12 and younger girls so I guess it is fine with them. Adult will notice that there is something wrong but then they would have gone and seen the original. More shows for little girls to watch.


Yeah, it's understandable.. especially for a younger audience. The younger, intended audience, is most important. Younger people might have a harder time following the show. If it was too foreign, they wouldn't understand it, and thus not watch it.

As long as it is not too over-the-top like changing the name of the characters into English ones or removing cultural aspect completely , everything else is fair game. I like good dubs from old anime like Cowboy Bebop.

The Glitter Force I mentioned has an episode where the MC goes to Kyoto for a field trip and the dub changed it into an Asian Expo trip, this is what I call going overboard.




i haven't seen what you're talking about, but i'm sure it was for a good reason.
Suspension of disbelief is super important in U.S. media.



that is culatal chuvanistosm your defneding
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

are you calling me a chauvinist? =\

suspension of disbelief has to do with immersion. the more you are able to suspend your disbelief, the more heavily immersed you are.

I actually prefer that they didn't do dub like this at all. There is no need to introduce Precure to the West. It is just as bad as Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z.

a bit selfish and elitist, but whatevs. idc. it's not my problem.
ya know it doesn't have to ruin it for you. You can watch it however you want. it doesn't make the original any worse just because it has a dub.

Well, American has great shows like My little pony so it is not like they needed Precure. I am not selfish but kind of a purist so that is my problem.
I will leave you alone then.
