should I watch English or Japanese version? >inb4 >>>/a/

>>83209058
>watching weebshit

depends,

Do you speak Japanese or do you speak English?


Are you so stupid you have to ask 4chan what language you speak?

>>83209058
Watch it however you want.

If I were you, watch the Japanese version first then watch the English dub after.

>>83209058
As with most films and series; if possible, watch it in the original language.

>>83209058
English is fine.

The English version is pretty decent for a dub so go ahead and watch that.
Though this is the only anime I'd ever recommend watching the dub for

>>83209058
Do you speak Japanese? if yes watch the Japanese ver.
Do you speak English? if yes watch the English ver.

>>83209058
As a non-weeb, I can tell you I prefer the dub in most cases unless it's particularly bad. I don't like hearing nippons speak and it's just more engaging to watch a film in my native language.
all of the ghibli movies have pretty good dubs, so go with the english version.

I'm too far gone now, I think it's time for me to go all in and watch anime.
besides I watched it when I was a kid, I just wanted to watch it now because I forgot how it went.

>>83209275
they are getting better, but a lot of the translations they use for dubs are shockingly bad especially with vague stuff like the spirits in mononoke. Also a lot of VAs they get are actually worse than japanese VAs who do it for a living.

>>83209135
I dare you to say nothing is lost in this dub

>>83209058
Even if you're a native english speaker, the japanese voice acting has more nuance and emotion to it. You're a big boy, you can handle subtitles.

Watched 20 mins of this before turning it off.
The animation is beautiful obviously but its more of a kids movie than Frozen for fucks sake.
Wish i had of seen it when i was younger.

>>83209058
>watching dubs
>ever
kys

>>83209906
What does it being a kids' movie have anything to do with anything? It's a good story about a little girl who learns humility and responsibility via hard work. You don't have to be a kid to enjoy that.

>>83209058
Watch it with subtitles. People are mocking this for being for children but it is a must see for anybody who considers themselves a fan of cinema. It's a beautiful piece of work and /tv/ plebs thinks it's just another cartoon. Pathetic.

>>83209845
Every time.
>trust me the gook version just sounds better, no I don't speak Japanese

do you watch the 400 blows with fuckin english dub? no. original language.

dubs are disgusting

>>83209772
Is this the superior Japanese voice acting people talk about?

>>83210097
A film should be watched in its original language ALWAYS. If you are too stupid or lazy to read subtitles then you should stick to watching capeshit and cartoons. Some people even see the watching of foreign films as being pretentious! Imagine being so utterly insecure in your lack of intelligence to have such views.

>>83209984
Anon is too mature for animation

>>83209058
You always watch film or shows in their original language with subtitles unless you are a braindamaged pleb.

>>83210993
Now see Anon you'd have a point if this was a thread about foreign real movies and not cartoons.
It's animation man, you're not missing out on body language that's tied to the original language or anything.

>>83211350
Fair point. I do think that a film should be watched in its native tongue though but I suppose being an animation, and as long as the voice acting is done to a high professional standard, then it would not detract very much from the viewing experience. I stand somewhat corrected.

>>83209058
>tfw you want to watch the original language with subtitles but it's shittily dubbed and everything is ruined

>>83209079

>Not watching one of the single best movies ever made

Fuck off

>>83209058

Disney put a lot of effort into their dub, i think its pretty great.

I'll never understand pure sub watchers though, if a decent dub does exist, because half the time you're reading and not truly paying attention to whats going on on screen.

>>83211529
>if a decent dub does exist

Personally I love a bad dub. FUCK AND PISS.

>>83209058
Always watch original

>>83211529
>because half the time you're reading and not truly paying attention to whats going on on screen

Found the braindead pleb who can't read subtitles in less than a second.

He's as normie friendly as anime gets

>>83209058
Always watch the Hebrew version.

sounds you're underage for this site

>>83213137
nah, Ghibli/Disney all the same, saw one, saw all

>>83211529
That sounds like a problem for people who aren't fast readers.
I get not wanting to read subtitles but having the lip synch be totally off breaks immersion.

>>83209058
ghibli movie dubs are generally good but I prefer the original audio for this one

>>83213199
Nice bait

Also just to let everyone know, Disney does not own ghibli (or least didn't until recently) they owned the distribution in the US so they got to slap their logo on it

>>83213199
bullshit, ghibli have a quite a bit of variety, have you even seen them all?

Only try hard faggots watch cartoons in their original Ching Chong Bing Bong language. I still to this day have no idea why.
>The Japanese cast has better voice actors
How can you tell? All Japanese people are monotone. You miss all their word play because you don't speak the language, so shit goes right over your head.
>American voice actors are cringey
Your cartoons are already cringey, now they have a voice to match

>>83213166
it came out 16 years ago...

>>83209058
neither. you just shoulden't watch it - it's the worst Ghibli movie

>>83209058
Both

>he watches movies dubbed

99% of anime has better Japanese voice acting.

1% of the time it's even

The only time where English is better than Japanese is Panty and Stocking, which is basically an American show anyway

>>83214870
>I can tell it's superior because I don't speak the language

>>83215229
>you don't speak the language so you can't tell when its really bad

So tired of this meme.

>>83209058
Whichever is your native language. This is always the right answer.

Also fuck off, /a/.

>>83215336
So you'd watch Kung Fu movies dubbed?
What kind of faggot watches Kung Fu movies dubbed?

Who the fuck cares which one "sounds better"? If I can't understand it, how the fuck is it better? Literal autistic shit.

>>83215405
Subtitles + emotional, quality voice acting > shitty, lazy bad voice acting

>>83211350
You're missing out on the casting and voice performance of the original director.
So, you should pick original language with subtitles.

>>83215484
Did I hurt your feelings, weeb faggot? Take your wrong opinions elsewhere.

>>83215488
Half the time subtitles are not even accurate or leave out important details/nuances.

>>83215640
And an English translated voice acting job doesn't have those problems?

>>83215603
So you'd rather listen to shitty voice acting in your own language vs good voice acting in a foreign language?
What kind of backwards logic is that?

>>83215640
True, but if your argument is that makes subtitles bad, then dubs are even worse, since you're further removed from the original, and the writing is less likely to be accurate since it has to match mouth movements.

>>83209058
You should always watch foreign movies in their language. It's American to do otherwise.

>>83215688
Yes, you retarded fucking weaboo. I know it's difficult for your tiny undeveloped brain to grasp, but try to understand that people who don't have a fucking mental condition prefer to actually understand the voices they're listening to.

>>83211529
Why are Americans so bad at reading? How fucking long does it take you to read a sentence?

>>83211529
sounds like an american problem

>>83215400
Kung Fu hustle dub>sub

The "bad" dub makes it more funny

Once you've gone subs you can't go back to dubs. Anyone who argues for dubs just hasn't watched enough anime with subs.

>>83215827
Understanding is great, that's what subtitles are for. And with subtitles you can enjoy better voice acting since most English dubs use second-rate cheapo voice actors.

The original voice actors/actors voice is usually better, through better casting, acting and production value.

Dubs are usually done cheaply and outside of the directors scope/vision.

There is little reason to watch any dub of any film or show unless it is forced upon you.

>>83209772
Oh shi-!
This actually makes Simpsons enjoyable for the first time since it was on Tracey Ullman show

>>83209772
the japanese starwars dub is interesting

>>83209079

>he didn't grow up watching Miyazaki films

>>83216884
I wasn't poor so I grew up watching Disney films like a normal kid.

>>83209058
for animation as a whole i usually prefer dub, it's not like the original VA did anything much differently than the dubbers. For movies is a different thing, actors are talking and you can tell their lips are saying something else than what u hear and that's gross

>>83214870
I only watch shit dubbed if it's gained a rep for having a good one, otherwise I go with the original language by default. Most dubs I watch are from the 80s/90s if that says anything.

>>83209772

at least homer, bart, and lisa are similar sounding to the original voice actors. the japanese marge should be murdered.

>>83215967
Pretty much this, dub is for entry level, eventually if you watch enough you'll most likely move onto subbed.

>>83209058

English dub is really good for this movie
