Yes, dubs do butcher stories. And if they don't then they look retarded cause they don't fit the mouth movements at all. But it's one or the other.

Why? This happens in native-English cartoons as well. It's just something that you have to deal with when you're watching something that's animated. Japanese dubs don't even go along with mouth movements all the time. Your point is moot.


List of good English dubs (imo, subjective remember?):
Cowboy Bebop
Hetalia
Monster
Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust
FLCL
Ghost in the Shell
Every Studio Ghibli
MS Gundam: 08th MS Team
Ms Gundam: War in the Pocket
Samurai Champloo
Death Note
Code Geass

Do I have to keep going, Blanko? You satisfied? I'm interested in your witty retort to this baited answer.

I just asked for one, but thanks for putting in the extra effort. I just wanted some context for this conversation. I'll let you go back to your sub-par Rushing now.

I am not surprised Blanko takes the hipster weeaboo stance on this one.

Joke's on you, I think anime is shit.

Just about. I don't sit so close to my screen that, when reading subtitles, I can't see the rest of the screen as well. You shouldn't do that, it's silly. And, I don't know if you guys are amazingly slow readers or if I'm just fast, but all I need to do is glance at them then go back to watching. During that glance, however, I still see the show.
Sure, but you don't process it as efficiently as the dub master race. I'd argue that you haven't even watched an anime if you watched it subbed. That's how much you're missing.
I don't know why I thought you might not just be trying to be Rushy.

Dissenting opinion = Rushy

I thought FMA:B was a pretty good dub as well.

I agree. I will add it to the list. I was just typing up some randoms that I had remembered off the top of my head. So I'm sure I missed several good dubs.


No, that's not it.

Oh, then it's because you're wrong?

It'd take hell of a lot of cognitive dissonance to say just that and not know what the actual answer is.

I know you want to be the master trole, but I'm sorry, you just don't have the talent Rushy has.

Omg. could it be possible that someone actually likes dubs more than subs?!

short answer: yes

quit being a try hard. you're supposed to be a moderator, not a shit-poster.

This is an acceptable opinion.

"But zomg you're missing so much of the show with subs!" Is a stupid claim.

Well if we're being honest here, then I have a confession to make. I watch everything with subtitles, including anime. I still prefer dubbed English over a language I don't understand though.

Personally, I feel that subtitles are superior to dubbing.  Discuss.

Well, my favorite series is Rurouni Kenshin, with the original Gundam following at a close second. I like the historical genre, but I haven't found many good ones. I'm also a big fan of the Ghost in the Shell series, and a few other Sci-Fi anime like Dimension Fortress Macross, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, and most of the Gundam series.

I'm not a fan of overly-serious anime, like Evangelion & Monster. Although I did like parts of Monster, but it dragged on too long in my opinion.
