that was a nice post explaining why you perfer dubs vance.. But some points i would have to disagree. Maybe so that i watch alot of Anime that i actually dont' concentrate on the subs.. I see them more of a second nature to where i am not watching them.. But still read them and concentrate more on the animation in the Anime.. and about Dubs in the states problems i have with them is Directors "American'izing" the speech and Dialog.. i.e. what steve said about ADV, which to me detracts from the Actual anime.
Also second is with American Voice dubs they don't have the Feel or passion that the Japanese people do.. Along side the fact that most of the time when the dubs are done in america they just have a person do there voices without other cast members around.. In japan they all kinda work together so they get more emotion and more feel for each other like they should go together.
When dubs are really good like have a good cast such as Princess Mononoke, Slayers, Ranma which try and stay very close to the anime as they can. And they do a good job and are actually some dubs that i can watch and actually like but still when the chance comes i will still watch it in subs because i am more one to belive that is how the original artist wanted it shown. Not butchered somewhat by an american company. can we say Initial D? (Will never get over this)
And my other opinion i agree with Suzaku on this.. Dub Vs Sub threads should be locked. Because EVERY one will have there own opinion and no matter what a person will rarely change it. So there in that aspect its kinda pointless.. And the other aspect its a kinda waste of bandwidth on the internet because nothing will ever be solved outta it and 75% of the time they turn into a flame war well the ones i have seen.. Though i think on this bored since there is a small amount of regulars and some few casional people that we won't have that problem.. ;o)
P.S. I really really suck at English so don't do spell check or grammer check on me. :lol:
