At 3:23 : "No man it's gonna be her..." Now, I don't want to argue about using Japanese honourifix in an English dub (I don't personally mind); my point is that the English dub, for the first time in my life, actually sounded pretty good. + Show Spoiler + Maybe I should keep an open mind about everything in the world.  | ||

In Japan voice acting is srs biz and many people want to make it but dont - over here people are like "voice acting? wut?". Not being a weabo douchetard but the emotive quality of the japanese voice acting is usually 10000x better than EU/US equivalents and the feel of a character is often completely different going from one to the other. | ||

Chinese dubs for anime on the other hand are absolutely horrific, all the females sounds too similar and they always sound terribly exaggerated and annoyingly high pitched. | ||

I feel they take anime acting much more seriously (compared to dubbers). A lot of times the quality is just low, and has nothing to do with preference or capturing cultural/mood stuff. This is clear if you've seen GOOD dubs, or any well- acted cartoons in general.. its quite good if they actually try. Its getting better though. The other issue is pronouncing foreign words. Some will disagree with me on this, but I prefer a middle accent, instead of purely Americanizing a word or purely authentic pronunciation. I dont like the abrupt shift in accents. But that's something people do irl too, so its kind of common and not everyone dislikes it. PS: omg I'm glad someone mentioned English Golden Boy before i did lol. | ||

However, there is one series I actually liked, which was the old Hellsing one. Also has a great soundtrack btw. But the english/german synchronization really makes it seem so cheap. Comparison japanese/english: Mainy I mean Alucard's voice, around 4:30 in the first video. + Show Spoiler + | ||

I never watch dubs, never! Not neccesarily because their un-watchable, but because there is just something much better offered. | ||

One of the problems I have with subs is that it magnetizes your eyes to the bottom of the screen. You can't really take it in as well. I've watched dramas with no subs and there's just a completely different feeling you get when you don't have to read the bottom. You actually pay more attention to what's on screen. I didn't realize how bad Japanese acting was until I turned off subtitles. I don't watch anime anymore, but I feel like I would rather play most games dubbed rather than subbed. | ||

But really, I think dubs take away too much of the original feel, some end up kinda decent, but nothing compares to the original. Also, in some countries they always "translate" or change the OP and ED entirely, and this annoys me to no end. Speaking of dubs, watch this: http://www.teamfourstar.com/ | ||

its the voice actors that are, frankly, fucking terrible. OP's video for example, I'd rather not have squeaky voiced mice doing dubs. | ||

I remember I watched the trailer for English of spice and wolf and the character did not sound tsundere at all :/. I did enjoy DBZ dubs though. lol damn i didn't know that was licensed. | ||

I think the english vocal actor for Kusanagi is quite good. I also remember Bebop having good dubs as well. Can't recall any others though. | ||
