Pirate Elementary, my dear Watson Resident Neo total posts: 2630 since: Jun 2007	May 30, 12 at 3:56pm ^ Dubs
	Log in to remove this sponsored message so I was watching tv this morning, as i stayed home sick from school, and i saw one of my favourite childhood shows on nick.. obviously, i switched to go and watch it yes? well, i realized halfway through the episode, that all the voices sounded different than the original. I'm not sure why, but I guess it got re-dubbed or something when it was taken off its original channel. this annoyed the hell out of me XD so i proceeded to put in the video tape of the original series that i had recorded when it first aired. so, point of the thread. anyone else get annoyed by dubs/re-dubs? and for more discussion value, who prefers to watch non-english shows with subtitles instead of dubbed? i personally prefer subbed, mainly because it is THE original version. not some redone bad translation version with different voice actors. so enough of my minor rant. DISCUSS EDIT: dubbed... well basically any anime, and i guess i classify it for some typical cartoons as well ------------------- ♦ M y B e s t F r i e n d s ! ♦ The Devil's Dance - go read?

	Well, the only example of a dub I've watched is anime, and then, it really depends. Some dubs are good, but some... aren't as good. ------------------- Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got!

	Any dub is okay as long as characters are re-animated/reenacted to have synced mouth movements with the dubbed speech. If it's just a simple voice-over or voice-swap, then it automatically sucks. Speaking of things that suck, all subs suck. All of them. They should only ever be last resort. -------------------

	Apart from Pokemon, I generally really hate dubbed anime. I reckon I only like dubbed pokemon (though I don't watch it, I'm talking about the occasional time it's on) just because those are the voices I heard when I was watching it as a kid. I pretty much can't watch anime unless it's subbed, dubbed just sounds so horrible generally. I'd say the same about any foreign language films too, not just anime. ------------------- Pokélounge \| Pokémon Trading \| Halo 4

	quote DannyB01 just because those are the voices I heard when I was watching it as a kid. Yeah this sorta reminded me, is it bad that I had no idea Pokemon was originally Japanese when I was a kid? Actually I only found out about 2 or 3 years ago. D: ------------------- Check out this forum/game! ♥

	I'm not sure if this is the same, but I started watching Dragon Ball Z Kai yesterday, and it's not as bad as I thought. Kinda disappointed in some of the voices since they aren't the same, but it's whatever.

	Ehh, I've only ever watched dubs, though if it counts for anything, I did prefer playing the Dragon Ball Z games with the Japanese voice acting. ------------------- Header and Footer Contest

	When I was a child most of the cartoons I watched were dubbed over with Irish so it was weird when they finally started showing them in English and the voice acting was weird. x3

	Guess I'm the only one here who likes dubs. But really, I don't like subtitles because when I'm watching something, I'd rather watch what's going on, not read text. It really takes me out of the action and whatnot because I have to read what they're saying because I don't speak the original language. ------------------- quote I met the hottest chick I've ever seen.

GuitarMan91 World's Most Charming Asshole Hooked on Neo total posts: 4272 since: Feb 2008	Jun 01, 12 at 12:38pm ^ re: Dubs
	I hate dubs very much so. I mean very very rarely is there a decent dub. Not only do dub voices sound bad but a lot of the time with a dub comes the changing of the content, which really bugs me. Subs are the way to go, it's really not that hard to read and focus on the action, it's a skill you gain over time I guess. The only dub I've actually watched the whole series on is Yu Yu Hakusho, only because I couldn't find a reliable place to watch the subbed episodes. That was nice because they still had all the bad language, even if some of the voices were a bit annoying. -------------------
