You'd be hard pressed to find a weeb who actually likes dubs, least of all on this board.
That said Maid Dragon was pretty standard for a modern dub, not really good or bad, just par the course
>>161977284
this was one of like 4 odd lines in the entirety of the dub, as a whole it was pretty dang fun to watch and people didn't even start getting mad about this shit until months after it aired when some faggot wrote an essay on reddit about it
>>161977302
Dub is a good gateway though. I have a couple of friends who started out by watching the dub for Dragon Ball Z
To this day, he still prefers dub, that poor soul.
>>161977402
>I have a couple of friends who started out by watching the dub for Dragon Ball Z

dubs these days are way better than they were in the 90s
>>161977593
As a whole, maybe. Some of them are still pretty bad. I'm looking at you, MonMusu.
>>161977284
Some people take it too seriously.
>>161977284

what else did you expect
it seems like funimation is the only company that tries to have consistent quality in their dubs these days
>>161977812
I only glanced at their Amagi dub, but their Sento sounded okay. Same with their Black Bullet.
>>161977812
Modern broadcast dubs border on unwatchable. Like back in the pre-2010's Funi dubs were pretty good, sure. Now? Not so much.
>>161977930
which ones do you mean by modern broadcast?
all their simuldubs have been pretty great and they're finally using new actors in those
>>161977284
heh, this isn't real right?
>>161977930
Funi has done okay with Hero Academia at least.
>>161978012
It's real. Jamie "Panty" Marchi wrote this as she did to Prison School.
>>161977969
I used to be huge on dubs. Now any time I even peek at a simuldub, I can't even tolerate it for more than 10 seconds before I nope the fuck outta there. That includes supposedly good ones like Dragon Maid.
They might not always be Sentai bad, but your standards have to be really fucking low to watch them.
I did watch Dagashi Kashi dubbed and that was pretty good, but that's the only one I'm aware of.
>>161977302
Black Lagoon dub is the only worthwhile way to watch it. Fucking fite me if you think otherwise.

All valid criticisms of course.
>>161978097
I`d say certain dubs are alright, like Bebop and Baccano, the vast majority of dubs are quite bad though.
It would help if there were more than two weeb VAs and they didn`t have an American accent.
>>161978158
Jap VAs are good in that, too.
Nerd.
>>161978173
Meme criticisms, there is much more money in the Jap anime voice acting industry, so it makes sense that it`s better in general.
>>161978158
>from the same team that does MLP
Too bad Ocean hasn't dubbed many anime. Gintama is one of the latest anime they does I believe.
>>161977084
nah, man. I enjoyed quite a bit. I watched the series first with subs, then another time with the dubs.
>>161978080
prison school was someone else
>>161978097
but why? what is it that makes you think they're so shit in comparison to other stuff?
nobody ever gives concrete reasons and it always sounds like hearsay to me, I'm pretty autistic when it comes to voice acting and I enjoy most of the stuff they put out
I honestly think 99% of dub hate comes from watching the sub first and having that be the first impression, which makes sense but doesn't mean every dub is automatically fucking terrible
Yes, fuck off OP.
Only Cromartie, Princess Tutu, Dragon Ball Z, Baccano, Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Haruhi, Lucky Star, and Captain Tylor have good dubs. Only Yu Yu Hakusho is better dubbed. Most other dubs that I've heard are shitty.
>>161978273
I feel like the jap anime voice acting anime just has better direction. I don't have very good understanding of japanese but i can understand what they are trying to emphasis and at for inflections and shit.
>>161978375

Tyson Rinehart is credited for the GG line, but Marchi is the lead writer who should have seen it but let it pass.

I always laugh seeing this listed as a great dub when the only reason it's well regarded is because of nostalgia

>>161977084
enjoyed it until the feminist shit
>>161978543
Yeah but then you got stuff like Castlevania from netflix so it really shows that good american VAing comes down to good direction.
>>161978585
I only watched DBZ dubbed recently.
>>161978375
I dunno, I think a lot of it has to do with how they're always trying to "do a voice" instead of just talking like a normal person. In certain shows like shonen, this works fine, because those are cartoony, and cartoony voices fit. Otherwise it just seems like they're trying too hard and it comes off as not being very genuine.
Another thing is just knowing how little these VAs know or care about what they're voicing, and the contempt they probably have for it. Most dub VAs got into acting because they wanted to be in film and TV, or at least broadway, but they couldn't cut it, so now they have to resort to voicing 6 year old dragon lolis playing sexy twister. They don't understand anime culture, and to them, they probably think they're voicing jerkoff material for pedophiles, and they hate every moment of it.
>>161978647
99% of Japanese anime voice acting is also "doing a voice".
>>161977084
>dub
Holy shit nigger what are you doing? The only dubfags who should exist are those mexican faggots with nostalgia glasses who think DB dub was good, but why the fuck would you watch anything past 1986 dubbed?

I wouldn`t know about Netflix stuff, just know of the old classics, maybe with the big money being poured in recently quality will increase.
>>161977538

Admitting your bias is the first step to solving the problem Anon.
>>161979865
How can you call me biased when you're complaining about voices slightly higher than the American voices you're used to?
>>161979919
You're biased in that you prefer subs over dubs because your'e too tone deaf to realize that Jap Va's are normal voices when in reality only high pitched harpies and opera singers should ever hit that high a tone and squeak on a regular basis.
Some dubs are alright but dubfags deserve death desu
>>161979975
You're biased to dubs since you grew up with them. Things are always better in their original version. I'm fine with all voice tones when they're a part of the original audio.
>>161980100
You're biased in that just because it's original audio, you think it inherently superior, you Weeaboo.
You grew up with Subs later in life, and forget that English VSs can have just as good vocal tones without causing pain to one's eardrums.
The usual examples of Cowboy Bebop, Baccano, etc. etc. show this.
>>161977538
English Tohru starts off pretty strong, but she isn't consistent throughout the rest of the series. The longer it goes, the more the VA tries slipping in off-beat, cutesy or exaggerated deliveries for the sake of a scene which does fine without them.

Perfect.
>>161982029
but tohru is a good example
>>161982106
Absolutely not. She's inconsistent and lacks any of the charm of the original.
>>161981450
>>161982029
subtitles are what's obnoxious, and the "emotional timing" is non-existent when you're just reading a clump of text at the bottom of the screen
it's hard to feel any connection or impact from the words when I don't understand them at all and I'm just loosely connecting them to the subtitles
>>161982167
>lacks any of the charm of the original
but that's completely wrong
she's more charming than the original, who in jap sounds generic and just like every other upbeat anime girl
I am strongly considering purchasing the DVD set, I haven't done this since Gundam Unicorn. The fuck is wrong with me?
>>161982181
If you watched anime or foreign media in general enough, you get used to them. There's also the fact that you could easily tell which emotions are being conveyed by the tone of the actor's voice.
>>161982237
How can she sound like every other upbeat anime girl if none of them sound alike unless they're the same actress? That's like saying all of one musical genre sounds the same even though you didn't listen to it enough to pick up its subtleties. Tohru doesn't sound like any other anime character to me.
>>161982181
lurn 2 read better
>>161982317
>>161982319
I'm just not a fan of the inherent disconnect in understanding subtitles create and how they demand 100% of attention, which is distracting when you're supposed to be watching something
in just that clip I felt more from the dub even with tohru's silly line, because although you can tell foreign emotions by their tone it just isn't on the same level as actually understanding what they're saying, there's a lot of little things that go into understanding language that you miss completely when you don't speak it
since this is the only dragon maid thread up at the moment i'll say this here. I'm a little chuffed of the fact that it is only mentioned once that Iruru's parents were killed by humans and they even associated with eachother. Not even later on when she is living with Kobayashi. So much potential for a good character arc but all we got was another loli dragon with bigger oppai than Tohru that won't be seen in the anime (probably).
>>161982317
what I meant is that there's nothing that really makes her stand out in Japanese, whereas in english she sounds totally unique and her bubbliness is so profound you can't help but love her
she's a near perfect translation of the character into english but cranked up just the right amount to really make her shine
>>161982435
Subtitles don't demand nearly any attention to me. Reading them is second nature. Feeling any disconnect from using subtitles only happens within the first month or so of using them, like the sore feelings you get during the first month of exercising. Due to not needing to conform to Japanese lip flaps like dubs, they're also able to convey more meaning in their word choice.
>>161982541
they still demand you to be staring at the screen like a hawk, otherwise you'll miss something completely
also if there's a lot of stuff being said while there's an action scene or anything with a lot of movement it becomes incredibly easy to miss stuff, not to mention if two characters talk at once and there's multiple subtitle lines at the same time which becomes a clusterfuck really quick
no matter how good one gets at comfortably reading subtitles you're still not understanding the language itself, which is where the disconnect I was talking about comes from
in the end it all boils down to the fact that if I'm going to be reading subtitles, which takes away from the visual medium anime is, what's the point of watching the anime instead of reading the manga?
I have never seen a western VA do a proper child's voice
>>161982691
I can see where you're coming fromif you have ADHD
>>161982519
She stands out just fine in Japanese. You just need to listen to Japanese voices in general more to pick up the subtleties. You can with dubs because you're used to listening to English and you're used to them in a similar fashion to how people can't easily tell people from other races apart easily without being around them a lot. I used to think all JAV actors looked the same but now I can tell them apart by face, body type, sex noises, and voices. At the same time, I picked up on a lot of commonalities with how they express certain things with how English people do. In other words, putting any stock in things sounding unique or standing out is pointless because you'll become more used to surface-level so it'll all seem similar so you have to be able to pick up subtleties before making any judgements.
>>161982691
If you're a quick reader, it's pretty easy.
>>161982736
at that point what am I getting out of watching the japanese version? it's basically the same thing except I can't understand them anymore and it lessens the appeal
>>161982845
what if I just don't like reading?
>>161977183
You don't need to know how to read Japanese to be a fluent speaker. I don't use subs but I also know maybe one or two hundred kanji maximum.
>>161982856
You're getting the more subtly gratifying performance. The dub actor sounds like what Tohru's Japanese performance would sound like after a few rounds of Telephone. I don't even dislike dubs. I just dislike the Dragon Maid.
>>161983138
>more subtly gratifying
this is an entirely subjective thing
I don't find anything more gratifying about having to read subtitles and not understanding the characters
and I still think english tohru is fucking great so what reason do I really have
I want all of you dubfags to know that I hate every single one of you and have no respect for any of your opinions. You can discuss dubs elsewhere like on Gamefaqs or on a Youtube comment section.
>>161977183
>the English language is perfectly serviceable
The language isn't the problem here. It's the talent. I'd be willing to give dubs more of a chance if western VAs weren't garbage.
>>161983455

>>161980175
>You're biased in that just because it's original audio, you think it inherently superior, you Weeaboo.
Holy fucking shit, you're a moron. Original IS inherently superior. The original audio is what the creator intended. They put the time into getting the performances that they thought were best for the content they were creating. Dubbed audio is the result of a completely unrelated studio making their best guesses for a piece of media that they had zero involvement in producing. When you switch the audio for media you're always taking away some part of what the original creator envisioned for it.
God dubfags are fucking insufferable.
I haven't watched the dub yet.
Does Lucoa still say "eeeehhh!?"?
>>161983772
She says valley girl and feminist-stereotype shit.
>>161978647
it's a wonder we never got a huge influx of web va's during that period when everyone was trying to do their dubreels online and getting in flashes to try to show off, from what I know only two or three of them actually ended up getting jobs out of it, despite all the passion and community they built.

This. I only watch a dub on repeat viewing where I want a little different of an experience with a beloved show so I try out different languages' dubs. Princess Jellyfish had a good English dub, with Tsukimi (sp?) being the highlight.
Watching slice of life dubbed is weird. Western voices just don't suit the characters in my opinion.
>>161983915
Like with reading books, you get used to it to the point of becoming unconscious to the fact that you're doing it fairly quickly.
>>161983908
If you don't give a shit, then why are you thankful for knowing I feel that way? Thanking people as a formality just makes you a fake bitch.

>>161984212
heck off, OT!!!
>>161983947
Try not to confuse low quality/underpaid voice acting with western voice acting in general. The dubs that are generally well regarded here (most ghibli stuff, bebop, maybe fma brotherhood to name a few) span a lot of genres and didn't happen by accident. They were good because the company funding it took the quality of the release seriously.
Doing a dub properly takes a serious budget, not just for voice actors, also a good script editor, audio people, and so on. The reality is funi didn't even do their supposed big theatrical movie release properly, so your average seasonal anime is pretty much amateur hour.
>>161984309

>>161982466
I still argue that she had one of the best, if not the only, consistent and invested arcs in the entire manga. Although, it's not that hard to compete with an episodic formula if one is going to suddenly stick to a single story or character's development for more than 2 consecutive chapters. I agree with you to an extent, though. The conflict seemed a little contrived for how quickly Iruru got over everything. Then again, maybe being weakened in this world by Tooru hastened her change of heart. She was rather defenseless for a time after all.
>>161977084
I no actually waited until the show was fully released in dub before I watched it. I usually try and always watch comedy or sol anime in English if I can because the humor plays better on my ears.

Jesus Christ. The original language is always the best, even if it is Spanish, English, Japanese, Russian, or whatever.
Dubs in general are shit and so are you.

I enjoyed the Maidragon dub insofar that it got me to watch more chorogon moments with a bit of a different flavor (although, I can't really explain why the series captivated me enough to do so). However, I wouldn't give the dub any more than a 4/10. It was nice to have running on the background while cooking or cleaning--white noise. And if people thought that the Lucoa line was bad, I still have to say that English Emprah of Demise was one of the worst, mood-slaying assaults on my ears I've ever suffered. Whoever that guy was should probably go back to making fake movie trailers for five bucks a pop.
Elma probably had the best voice overall.

I speak 3 languages and mildly understand a 4th one, English dubs have been consistently the shittiest and most amateur sounding of all the dubs I've watched. The idiotic excuses some of the dub apologists come up with are ridiculous. Reading a line of text is hard, "emotional disconnect" by not understand the language, really? Imbeciles like this guy >>161982181 don't deserve to live, they're just wasting space.
>>161994226
That guy in particular is an idiot because he implies that the subtitle text somehow overwrites the presence of audible dialogue (regardless of language) paired with the visual imagery. The jap dub gives a pause for emotional effect while the funi dub throws in some inconsequential quip and hurries into more noise that follows right after.
Watch both.
Simple.

Why would you subject yourself to 4/10 voice quality? Why not just watch the Japanese original and actually not want to die?
>>161996244
I said that I don't know why I was so captivated by the series. The manga wasn't getting translations back then, so I took what I could get.
>>161992027
Because not everyone gets their opinions through memes.

Why do people keep bringing the Prison School situation up? The Gamergate line was redubbed with the original for the BDs and DVDs. Period. End of the story.
>>161999569
Because it's the only other example people who don't watch dubs yet desire to shit on them have.
>>161999569
It's one thing to redub it, but it's pretty scummy to pretend that it never happened at all.
>>161999569
>>161999642
It still goes to show that the dub industry in the west is immature enough to have these hacks in charge of the script.
The fact that it was redubbed is good but the fact that it was ever conceived is still damning.
>>161998418
No I mean, why didn't you just watch it subbed?
>>161987629
Jojo is proof that even with massive popualrity the industry doesn't necesarily benefit and if anything the series itself just becomes worse
>>161999952
No one's doing that.
>>161982691
Preach.
I mean go watch any piece of good western animation, like Monsters Inc., and see how much of the emphasis is put on the words of the characters going along with their motions.
It's not just what is said, but how and WHEN it is said.
If you had to watch something like Cars without knowing their language, a lot of the bumper raises, smirks, mouth movements, and many other subtle keys to go along with the dialogue are simply lost upon subtitles.
>>162001359
Well, I watch dubbed to enjoy somthin in another way.
I don't want a chocolate cake all day, I might want a vanilla cupcake every now and then.
To those who say that the chocolate cake is better is fine, to say it's all you should eat is nothing but snobbery and elitism.
>>161994226
Do lectors count as dubs? Those shows where they just get an old man to read the script aloud in a monotone, without muting the original audio. Not many countries still do them, but they're horrifying.
