to add on to Kals list
There is anime and shows that are subbed than dubbed. I cant depend on a show to be dubbed so i might as well learn to read subs. They are a lot easier for a company to put out there than a dub, dont you think?
Some of the dubbed ones have good voice acting or just the voice goes better with the character. I will watch those. But just like art i cant stand (one piece, dbz) im not going to continue watching something where the art or the voices keep distracting me from whats going on. Iv heard those shows and plots are ammaazzing, i understand im missing out on that and that fact doesnt bother me as much as the artwork. At least with subs i dont miss out.
Oh and as kal said it cant be directly translated. And the movements of the mouth and what they actually said in japanese is not gonna match up in timing. Remember the whole godzilla joke about the actors mouth moving for five minutes and the only thing they said in english was "ah monster?!" That means extra time to fill up or less time and not getting all the information. How jumbled is the english dubs your getting?Everyone is tired of this argument and tired of people complaining about how its not in a dub. How many people complain about it not being subbed? o.o If i cant find something subbed i can always watch it dubbed...never been a problem for me. If you really want to see it suck it up and watch it as a sub or read the manga. Oh wait that would also mean reading distracting you from looking at the pictures...   See 16 other replies
