Why would anyone have a need to read anime? Just watch the fucking RAWs.

I try to give dubs a chance every now and then but immediately close them because they're so goddamn cringeworthy. I'm not sure if it's just the English VAs being shit, or if its exactly as awkward in Japanese as well. Their lines sound vocally good though (in character), even though I don't understand shit.

>>158258846
Bad acting combined with trying to awkwardly lipsync

You'll notice movie dubs are much better than TV dubs.

The important thing is to not be distracted from the animation. If the English dub isn't so bad that it's more distracting than having to continually focus on the bottom of the screen to read subs, then it's fine. Elitist fucks will tell you to learn Japanese, but that'll just break the illusion that Japanese dubs are somehow inherently superior and there are more useful things you could do with your time.

Anime isn't an intellectual pursuit, anon. You aren't going to impress anyone with how hardcore you are for missing half the animation.

>>158260489
I'm just saying that Japanese VAs can act badly too, you just won't pick up on it so easily when you don't know the language and are barely even paying attention to the spoken words because you're reading the subs. It's far easier to tell when acting is bad when you're intently listening to your native language, which is why English dubs are so harshly criticized. I'll admit they're rarely great or even particularly good, but as long as it's not offensively bad, it's better than reading subs.

>>158260769
>implying I'm amerifat
Try Spain, faggot.

>>158260625
There's nothing wrong with dubs, but it's funny when dubfags repeatedly point to the same ten dubs released over the span of the last twenty years as proof that they're somehow good. And then they name trite shit like Ghost Stories which was only funny when you're an underageb&. Which is probably why they like it.

The thing is that weebs can't tell if the Japanese dub is good or not because you don't know how Japanese people in real life talk like. They sure as hell don't go YAMETEEE and HAYAI in squeaky voice every seconds.

>>158262250
Doesn't really matter, they have the director there coaching them, automatically better than a reinterpretation. Saying dubs are better is like saying a translated novel is better, it's retarded.

>>158262387
But if you don't know the native language the translated novel probably is a bit better.

>>158262387
I'm not though. But Japanese dubs aren't really much better with all things considered. I often find the VAs to be inappropriate for the characters. Combined with squeaking voice and the weird anime way of talking where everyone gets emotional and overreact to everything, it gets kinda dumb. This is why I prefer the manga.

>>158262460
Subs are translated too, but the jap voices in the background keep them honest so they can't go full rewrite, and also provide the right tone

>>158262069
>all of these great character designs are stuck in a shitty mobile game

>California valley girls, Texan hicks and New Yorkers who failed the community theatre circuit and listlessly speak words into a microphone while wishing they were doing anything else but dubbing trash anime for the sum of a can of Chef Boyardee as payment

How can dubfags ever fucking recover?

>>158262508
That's why it's called voice acting. The argument that "they don't talk like real people" and "that's not what real Japanese people talk like" is ridiculous, because that is the point.

What's funny is that a lot of dubs do the same thing, and it's even more unnatural and stilted there. And if the actors aren't trying their hardest to imitate seiyuu, you usually get lifeless acting, lethargic intonation and trash line readings from people who aren't even bothering to act or put on any voice other than their normal speaking voice. I'll gladly take the melodramatic acting over shit acting.

>>158262708

What if it's precisely because they don't talk like real people that it makes dubs bad? Would you say unnatural acting is a good acting? I'm not saying English dubs are any better. I'm saying that both dubs are shit and weebs like you give Japanese voice actresses too much credit for simply because they can talk like a 8 years old boy and that they're Japanese.

Anime with a western setting are legitimately 100% better with an English dub in most cases. But considering how few anime that encompasses, I almost exclusively watch subbed anime.

I legitimely enjoy the Haruhi dub. While it can't beat the original Japanese voice actors overall, Wendy Lee still does do a great job with Haruhi and Freeman's voice also fits Kyon very well. The other characters not so much though.

I don't care what your view on dubs is. This thread is cancer.

>>158258846
This meme that you can't judge voice acting without knowing the language needs to die. The emotion conveyed through speech is universal. Only an autistic person would have trouble with this. I assume most dub fans are in fact autistic, as they don't care how poorly delivered a line is if they can at least understand the words.

Liking dubs should be a bannable offense on this board

>>158260625
Tenchi had a good dub, though. The dialogue was messed up in places, but the casting and directing were as good as you'll ever get.

It's okay, I like it too. Everyone is really well voiced besides Grapes.

Most dubs nowadays are simply mediocre. Some good but not great. Average at best. They are better than the 90s and early 2000s with a few exceptions. The issue is that they still are not as good as the original with subtitles, which is why they're still considered shit. Because the original still shits on many of them. At least anime dubs aren't as horrifyingly bad as live action movie dubs.
