Dubs vs Subs

[Riverl]

I'm in favor of sub,but I dont really hate dub as I used to

Original form of a cultural produce is always the best, movie, book, cartoon, anything will be best enjoy in its original language, since translation will always make it lose something. Japanese animes were made for Japanese voice first and foremost, so they are often superior if not always.

In defend of dub, some of them really pulled out the character, and deliver what could be call a good alternate for the Japanese voice, which mean, obviously, that if they were worked on seriously, dub can be good. The most satisfactory one I've encounter is actually a game, Xenosaga, I like Kosmos English voice, she really managed to make me feel the character. Also Gravion Zwel dual audio version has some nice English voices, and the translated version of the maids' song was surprisingly fit, there's a few more, but I cant really recall


Well, in the end, I'll always go for sub first, and only try dub to amuse myself, though
Why? Yeah, dub have good ones too, but I dont want to take a chance about the voice department when I can just watch sub and only have to worry if the other stuff like story, characters were good.

And no, they dont sell anime DVD over here at my place, and license only kid shows (the educator and government here think kissing in a manga with "for 17 and above only" on it cover is immoral, bad bad bad and should be censored, which obviously mean those for teen and above will never be licensed here until this change /pif, so I'm not really hurting anyone's purse... may be

On a side note, I just watch the dual audio of Maburaho... God did my ear bleed, the main character was a bland, meek and gentle student and kind of lacking in confidence, but the English voice was by no mean convincing when he said he was nothing special, because the voice was macho macho and mono mono
