Why are dubs so bad, so really bad. Aside from dragonball z,

Hellsing had a pretty alright dub

DB Kai had the best voice acting in history though.

Only because crispin freeman has such an iconic voice I think the rest of it was because you had actors with actual accents playing characters who needed actual accents

>>156398101

German dubs are really good! or are we just talking about english dubs?

>>156398101
Genos voice was bad
But the rest is good

>>156398346

I felt like they tried to make saitama sound way more badass than he every would try and sound, not silly enough. and yeah genos was just awful

>>156398346
Saitama's English VA is horrible. You can't feel emotion from his voice and Saitama is like the most emotional MC I've ever seen. He's only bored when he's fighting but most of the show is SoL anyway.

English sounds bad.

>>156398671

It really is bad, it does not fit the character at all I have no idea where they get these things approved and who pays for this crap

>>156398691

English sounds great with the right feel and accents but it is really hard to cast for characters I guess

Baccano dubs were pretty good.

>>156398101
Because you are FUCKING WEEB.

>>156398101
Animaze died with Kevin Seymour and Disney only dubs Ghibli

Everything else is shit
RIP dubs

The sillier and more japenesey the anime the harder it would be to dub it properly

>>156398101
>Why are dubs so bad
because they are done by cheap voice actors with no talent, that dont care about the material and arent even right for the part

>>156398894

How much do these guys actually make? I mean these will go to dvd or be shown on large networks

>>156398101
Because there's like 15 people in the dubbing industry

>Trigun

>>156398101
Guess what? Asians love english too, and try to put it in their songs whenever they can.

You're not special for hating on the language that you're used to. You're just another weaboo.

Because it's a niche industry where profit margins are wafer thin, which is why all the work is done as cheaply as possible.

What's funnier is that you don't realise subs are just as bad. Poor written conversation is just less noticeable.

>>156399207
i'll give you bebop, trigun was too cheesy

not a native speaker but I noticed the dialogues in the english dub always sound so unnatural and forced. why the fuck do they sound like they're trying too hard?

>>156398101
>>156398894

This. Japanese voice actors are on the whole more rigorously trained and better at acting than their live-action counterparts.

English-speaking (usually American) voice actors that aren't also A-list live-action actors are bottom-of-the-barrel garbage.

The problem is largely that no-one is willing to spend much money on a dub that hardly anyone will watch anyway. So dubs continue to be low-budget shit, and audiences continue to shit on them, and distributors continue to see dubs as not worth any real investment.

>>156399603
Because there's no middle ground, they either try too hard or don't try at all and neither one ends well.

You're literally retarded, he's certainly one of the best VA's out there and you just wanna wank your superiority of muh subs

>>156398858
Disney are pretty hit or miss since they insist on casting celebs in everything. A good stage or film actor is not the same thing as a good voice actor.

isn't that kind of the point

>>156399982
If he's one of the best VAs out there then I guess not watching dub was a right decision.

>>156398101
I thought the dub for OPM was pretty good, actually.

>>156400154
Did you hear it once`? It's absolutely bad

>>156399603
Subs always have awkward dialogue, it doesn't seem as bad since they aren't saying it out loud.

>>156400172
Judging by watching a few dubbed bits, it seems perfectly fine.

>>156400172
I don't see what the big deal is. It really isn't even bad at all. You're taking it too seriously.

This. Subs is horrible sometimes. The best way is learn moon and watch it raw.

>>156398101
Its a racket to convince you that learning japanese is the only way to watch anime. Don't do it anon! Its too late for me but i have seen through the subs. I know too much. Don't learn any japanese so you can still enjoy subs!

>>156398101
pretty sure it's just easier to tell when someone's delivery is weird when you're hearing it in your own language

I'm not really fluent in both english and japanese (not a native speaker in both either) but english sounds weirder for me.

>inb4 you're just a weeb

>>156398101
because only retards want dubs

>>156398101
Yugioh (Atem, Kaiba, and Pegasus) and OG Pokemon are surprisingly top ten

It's no wonder why the Pokemon anime took off

>>156398101
Because anime in general gets shit budget in the west. All the top tier voice actors only do games or western animation because they can actually afford them.

>>156398101
>FMA

No matter what people say Ed's dub voice will never not be horribly unfitting.

>>156398101

>>156398101
One piece does actually a pretty good dub, at least up until the timeskip, then everything went to shit

>>156402060
shame the original pokemon dub cast got shafted and now theres awkward sound alikes.

>>156402528

>top tier
>western animation

I like dubs because I can focus a lot more on the show rather than reading. I don't mind English voice acting, however I don't watch moeshit because I cringe hearing Middle Ages women acting like kids. I hate Tara strong for that reason, even though she has excellent range, a lot of her casting is cringe.
That being said, I'm sure if I understood Japanese, I'd cringe just as much at middle age Jap women doing the same thing.

I don't think language has a bearing on anything in my opinion, just that I can't understand English changes some perspectives.

In India some rare old anime gets dubbed in Hindi and I think those are pretty good. Though the complex jokes are always changed to something entirely different.

The Ninja Slayer dub managed to be pretty good, the YEARTS from the dub actor are arguably better. shame about all the lame jokes in the dub script

>>156400252
its easier to ignore that fact that all voice acting for animation is via dubbing

>>156398213
Germans had some ridiculously good dubs, mostly because they used seasoned voice actors you'd hear in movie, tv and cartoons who did that job for over 30 years.
Unfortunately most of them are either dead or have throat cancer.
Nowadays you only hear bottom of the barrel Hauptschüler trying to lazily act.
Fucking awful.

Poor funding
Japanese media that has English as the primary/only spoken language have substantially better voice acting than most anime dubs. For example, Bayonetta, Dark Souls/Bloodborne, and MGS.

>Childhood is listening to dubs
>Adolescence is thinking dubs are shit
>Adulthood is preffering subs and not sperging out about dubs and realizing the One Piece 4kids theme is actually catchy as fuck.


The OPM dub is fine. I had 0 problems with it. Honestly preferred it. If I were to state problems it'd be that Tatsumaki sounded older than she should have (she's supposed to sound like a brat) and vaccine man not having that iconic Frieza voice.

I have never seen a thread with so much Reddit spacing.

G Gundam and Yuyu Hakusho have great dubs

People actually recommend you watch G Gundam dubbed instead of subbed.

The youji senkai dub was pretty good

>>156398101
>Why are dubs so bad, so really bad.
We've had this thread multiple times. It's a combination of the following factors:

>Things tend to sound cooler in a language you don't understand, or at the very least don't speak as your first language
>In Japan voice acting for anime is a really big deal so Japan uses their finest and most talented. In America it's considered second rate kiddy shit while America's best and finest voice actors work for Disney, Dreamworks et cetera
>Dubs always sound worse than the originals regardless of language (the English dub for Wakfu is shit too) because the original is made with the original language in mind. Often animation is animated after the voices are recorded, or at the very least the animation is made with the lines to be spoken in mind. This means that dubbing studios have the very difficult line of matching the syllables to the mouth movements while at the same time passing on the same message and tone. Hence why a lot of anime dubs tend to be full of filler words (like every other sentence starting with "listen up").
