Well an honest response from me would be to watch High School of the Dead in dub. Its an okay anime to watch if u wanna do other shit on the side, nahm sayn? | ||

I haven't listened to the HotD dub myself, but I'm fairly sure that it doesn't have Nobuyuki Hiyama so that is a good reason not to. | ||

I now realize how weird sounding CG dub sounds like after constantly watching Subbed anime, I still think that it's of better quality then most dubs though.

I would rather stick with quality. | ||

Basically ones that have a good budget and are noticed in America. Side ones that have a smaller fanbase don't get the top-tier VAs or anything like that. Also: The Negima dub whyyyyyyyyyyyfuckshitassmyears.jpg | ||

Man that was an awesome episode. This show is at its best when they let Fear-chan go crazy and kill everything. And it looks like Saito Chiwa will become a recurring character too. No nekkid Fear-chan but murderous intent Fear-chan makes up for it imo. | ||

Not offensive ofc. I just wonder if it's like that since you have no need for subs ever while finns never watch with native language any shows (practically). Oh god...English voice actors probably don't even know what a tsundere is. So what did they call tsundere? xD Philologies just can't match.. :O Even subs have alot fails in them.. It help's that you can also listen jap dub same time and understand that the word actor uses might not be translated right in subs. ( See wierdo, pervert, geek and hentai titles) | ||

( See wierdo, pervert, geek and hentai titles) Probably because a lot of us Americans don't read. Not including myself, <3 books yo. It's difficult to read fast when the only time you look at actual text is on forums. "Tsundere" just isn't a theme you see outside of Japanese works that much. Occasionally you'll see a character who shows similar signs of being tsun-tsun, but it's not a typical archetype in TV and movies here as it is in anime and manga. If a VA doesn't read/watch a lot, the personality traits might be lost on them. Also, back to what he was asking for, I know Durarara runs on Adult Swim, but I dunno if that means you can find it somewhere or have to pick up in the middle now. I'd like to see the dubs, though, because fuck yeah just found out Johnny Yong Bosch is in it. He's Vash, he's Ichigo, he's Lelouch. How do you not love this guy? | ||

The last time I watched dub was Shana. Oh god...English voice actors probably don't even know what a tsundere is. yea most of the late 80's/90's shows have decent voice acting, (it may well be the same perhaps its just a nostalgia bias)most of the recent stuff is precisely what someone mentioned, people reading of a script. Especially with the nature of the show. They have like zero impact, Again someone mentioned the Black Lagoon dub, Dutch was okish (hes black doh) and so was Rock (he starts of pathetic not to hard to do) but apart from that it was terrible. None of Revy's menace is properly translated, instead of the overdose of raw aggression, you get the scheming bitch voice, its really really not good. | ||

Bakabt generally has awesome torrents, but they require you to have a certain seed ratio to keep the DL speed up :D Nyaa is a subset of what TokyoToshokan aggregates so I would recommend the latter. | ||

( See wierdo, pervert, geek and hentai titles) I'm not talking about the literal word tsundere; I'm talking about voice acting a tsundere. The voice actress for Shana completely butchered the tsundere archetype and made Shana a legitimately angry girl who didn't sound anything remotely similar to a tsundere. Then again, I only watched 1 episode because I couldn't stand my tsundere being ruined like that. | ||

There are a few shows I find that I honestly enjoyed more in English than Japanese. I'll just list a few, Haruhi, GitS, Black Lagoon, FLCL, Baccano, Gunsmith Cats and a ton of others that I will just leave out for now. In all honestly in the dub vs. sub debate, go with whatever you like. | ||
