Japanese Acting

[Vicious]

just a thought, if u guys think the japanese voice acting is bad, wait until u checked out the english dub they did for love hina and many other R1 titles.

the bottom line is their voice acting are still miles ahead of what we have over here.

Why do all sub fans mention Love Hina. They always mention the worst one and leave out examples like Cowboy bebop which is by many considered to be better than the original Japanese dub. (YES, Wendee Lee outperformed the great Megumi Hayashibara. Get over it!!!!) Or something like You're Under Arrest where the Japanese director made his actors watch the English dubbed version because he thought it was that much better than the version they created.

And I have checked out English dubs. I enjoy the majority of the dubs. there is the occasional screw up, but most of them are very well done. And if you have to harp on Love Hina and Iniitial D, then you truly are misguided and it's pointless reasoning with you. Either that or you're of that ignorant school of thought that "well it was created in Japanese, so the Japanese version must be better".

also, sub fans always fail to mention the fact that the Japanese don't even try to match up the lip flaps alot of the time. the Engliush dubs try to convey the meaning across while trying to match up the lip flaps. Watch both versions and let me know which one matched up better. And then let me know which one you think was harder to create.
