Sub v. Dub

Posts

Bahahaha, man, people get angry over the stupidest crap sometimes. Back when Miss K's Dragon Maid got its English dub, this one dude went on an essay-length tirade about how the dub was SJW propaganda, just 'cause of one line that was probably improv'd by the voice actor.

In case ya didn't catch it:
Kanna: "I know the truth. You seduced her with your-, your body!"
Kobayashi: "Hmm?"
Ka: "You cuckold!"
Ko: "Hmm."
Ka: "You slut in glasses!"
Ko: "Oh-kay, pretty sure you're making a mistake. Don't slut-shame me- Whoa, okay!"
Ka: "Break up with her, slut! Give her back!"

YouTube comments are the worst, am I right? And they didn't even mention Kanna's perfect line after Kobayashi called her out. xD

Haaah~... I love Lucoa in this dub. She's like the perfect blend off "Big Sis" and "Sugar Momma", with a tinge of southern drawl overall. I hope I can sound like her someday. ^~^

Only dubs I can watch are Welcome the the NHK and Clannad. Those are some damn good dubs though.

Yup, no, I still can't listen to dubs >_<

I used to be strictly sub-only but I can appreciate quality dubs.
I'm still sub-first for shows that just take place in Japan, fantasy and whatever I'll look into dubs if they're good.

Dub all the way. I want to see the art not read the screen

I watch subbed 95% of the time. Most dubs feel cheesy and I swear there are only like five voice actors doing English anime dubs now. That last part is funny though, because I like watching an anime in Japanese, recognizing a voice actor, and racking my brain trying to remember where I heard their voice before.
Spice and Wolf, Redline, and Panty and Stocking are the notable exceptions for me. I get this strange nostalgic feeling from Spice and Wolf's art (mainly the backgrounds) that makes me connect it with childhood cartoons. That's probably why I like it in English.

dubbed voices always make anime sound way more cartoony

I'm a definite subber, but I can see the appeal in dubs as well, cause as a kid, I watched the english naruto dub and never even knew about the subbed one.
Thinking back I think the dub for it was pretty good. 
I just like to hear the japanese, it sounds cool to hear another language.

and it is less goofy when they speak in the language it's animated for

but i do not knock on anyone that prefers dub : P
