There are ton of people who watch dubs, but they are not the same crowd as those who post on anime forum and esport sites. | ||

People hear the japanese voices first typically and when they hear something different in english they flip a shit. Dont get me wrong there are alot of bad dubs but there is also alot of decent ones people dont give credit to The problem is that there are good subs and bad subs, and you don't know which one is bad until you actually got it already. Why take a chance when there is better alternatives. Also even good dubs have pace / sync issues. | ||

There are online instructions on how to do it (or find someone who can help you), but you do need get a copy of win7. | ||

Why take a chance when there is better alternatives. Also even good dubs have pace / sync issues. With dubs it seems the only good ones all take actors from this very small pool of people. Other times it either just doesn't translate well over or they chose the laziest way to translate something so it comes out as super corney. Too few animes imo have that balance of being dubbed with solid cast AND also translate the dialogue well enough. I do agree though that there are a decent amount of well done dubs, they just usually aren't for the shows I want them to be lol. | ||

Issue is mostly to get to those patches and/or whether companies care enough to get things working. There is probably a compiled list somewhere knowing the Japanese. I'll try to remember to look to see if Akabee had any patches for win8 compatibility I guess, though with them kind of restructuring I doubt they care enough to try to get old games to work. EDIT - took a look, saw nothing. | ||

Dont get me wrong there are alot of bad dubs but there is also alot of decent ones people dont give credit to The reason so many people hate dubs is because the quality of voice acting is lower, much lower. It's really that simple. I can watch animated children's shows (as in made for like 4 year olds), without cringing just fine, because they actually have voice actors with talent playing the parts (even if it is meant for kids). Most anime dubs on the other hand, feel so awkward and horrible that it makes me cringe listening to it. | ||

Edit: dubs bother me when the translators fuck up their job, but that's not what we're talking about | ||

The awkward feeling is more from the shows are written in Japanese in the first place, so when translate everything won't sync up as well. It's like translated songs / poems are always super awkward. | ||
