Don't get me wrong, some English dubbing is good. Case in point, Yu-Gi-Oh or Inuyasha, but there are others out there that I will only watch with subtitles. Namely Ranma 1/2.

Personally, I don't really like much of the dubbing for the InuYasha series.... Though I will say that Sesshoumaru's voice is sexy in BOTH versions ^-^ ~swoon~ Then again, most of the episodes I watch of InuYasha are only available with subs, since they haven't been translated to be mutilated into English yet.

If given the choice, I will almost always watch with subs. Mainly because I'm trying to learn Japanese on my own. Hearing the words over and over and seeing what is said on the bottom works almost as well as any of those little tape lessons things. o_o

Dubs great.

So, LilWhiteMage..... A/L?

umm... isnt this the sub thread? so why are you talkin about dubs there whitemage?

LilWhiteMage · 11-22-2003, 04:09 AM

I was pointing out a small point since it was raised in a previous post. Baka e.e; And besides, I'm sure that WhiteMage's post might have been a typo... after all, 'S' and 'D' are right there next to each other... I had to double check myself back in my post constantly. x.x

Oh... and WM.. 20, and check beneath my piccie.

I believe Neverwhere was talking about Whitemage (quote: "I like dubs"), not you, LilWhiteMage. Name's too similar.

Anyway, Ranma is one of the few that I will watch in dubbed. Slayers is good in both, but subbed (MEGUMI!!!) is much better. There's only one character who needed a better seiyuu, that being Xellos (IMO).

Bahh, if I wanted to read any series I'd just get the damn manga..

Oh, and LilWhiteMage, what's a sweet girl like you doing living in a place like Los Angelus? I see you as one of these southern gals living in the moutains who needs a good old fashioned cuddeling..

You would cringe at the sound of the Excel Saga dub. It redefines the word "pain". Subbed overtakes dubbed in almost every anime all the time, except for Noir. Noir dubbed lets me connect with the characters better, but sometimes reading subtitles gives you the same feeling, connected with the tone of voice. But, the voice actor has to be talented.

Actually WhiteMage, I am one of those cuddley little southern girls... don't live in the mountains though o.o They don't have much around here. The LA in my thingu is Louisiana.... I'm originally from Mississippi...

Oh, and Nakor, I did say that Neverwhere might have been talking about WhiteMage. Thank you �.�;

To make this a subbed post >_>;;;

I will usually listen to either or... dubbed or subbed. Some series I could really care less. Like Record of Lodoss War. Well, the original series that is. In the second, they changed some of the dubbed voices, so it doesn't sound right...That and the chibi voices sound so much cuuuuuuter in Japanese ^-^

GatoFiero · 11-23-2003, 12:32 AM

you have a point, you can't do chibi in english.

A sub is what I normally watch, it has the advantage of subconciously learning Japanese. Hai! I think Vash and Spike's original voices much better matched their own characters, and Ed didnt sound ear-grating.
Seriously, Adult Swim Ed was a joke.
Not to mention theres about three times as many Subbed Animes due to money and time, more fun for me.
Did I mention Ed?
