Sub or Dub?

Anime Discussion
133

This old debateā€¦

Largely itā€™s preference. The voice acting for English dubs has improved dramatically in the past decade or so. The biggest complaint I always here is being true to the original show, which is fine. But no matter what, unless you become fluent in Japanese, translations are just that, whether dub or sub. Even then, there are just some things a foreign audience will never get, specifically the million little cultural references.

Just watch what you want.

Hey, does anyone know if there are any plans to dub Bocchi the RocK!? I tried following the sub but it scrolls too fast.

Dubbed. Iā€™m a multi tasker and I am not fluent in Japanese. Itā€™s hard to do anything when needing to keep up with the subtitles. Plus sometimes itā€™s going to fast and Iā€™m not a speed reader. I personally prefer dubbed as I cannot stay still watching TV. I always have to do something else on the same time :joy:

All valid reasons for preferring dubbed. As long as your consuming the media I will not judge youā€¦.to harshly. Just kidding.

Dub as I want to watch the show, not read it. American voice acting has improved dramatically in the past two decades.

I wish I felt the same way. For me itā€™s not any better. Itā€™s hard for me to sit there and watch a dubbed anime, Iā€™ve tried and have, always go back to subbed. Personal preference I guess. As long as we can enjoy it and talk about it thatā€™s all that matters.

When actually watching the series, I tend to drift to subtitles. If Iā€™m using it more for background noise, I use dubs. Though I do sometimes check out the dubs if they sound better and/or Iā€™m curious about the dubs.
