You can feel the vibe far better from the original. the words themselves are secondary to emotional impact.

There are subtitles, and the voice actors of the original intended language were chosen by the creators themselves to best suit their characters.

I'm gonna be real, every single time I've had the "dub vs sub" shit flinging debate what it always comes down to, without fail, is that dubfags cannot fucking read at a normal pace.
20% of America is entirely illiterate. A further 20% cannot read above a 5th grade level. The latter type of person needs to, no joke, actually sound out every single word either out loud or in their head, which is where all the complaints of their eyes being glued to the bottom of the screen come from. It was a pretty big shock to me to learn that "speed readers" are just people who process printed words the instant they see them. That's completely normal.

Yes, enough to know when the subs are wrong. And before you ask, I ownload subs because other people who watch with me don't understand japanese. And before you claim I just think that because english is my first language, no it isn't, and dubs in my first language and a few others I've watched are all better than english anime dubs. And no, I don't have anything against english dubs per se, cartoons and non-japanese games are well dubbed, and even fromsoft games are well dubbed, it's particularly anime and anime-inspired videogames that get shit english dubs, so much so that in Kingdom Hearts the disney characters are better dubbed than the squeenix characters.

It's just not about literacy or refusing to read text on a screen anymore. For some reason, that specific subgroup of Americans you're talking about are also pissed off when anyone refers to the Dictator character from the Street Fighter franchise with his original name, which is Vega instead of M. Bison. I've even seen people discussing the 1994 anime movie mentioning that they prefer the dub solely because at least they don't have to hear certain characters being called with their original names.

That's a pretty weak argument nigger given that they've even adopted western naming conventions for Japanese-run Street Fighter competitions. The anime is overwhelmingly secondary to the game.

I used to enjoy dubs up until 2010. But then I went to sub and never went back. After what happened to Vic, I hope the whole dubbing industry falls apart. I don’t know what’s worse that most dubbing VA’s want to lecture me on politics or that most of them sound like abridgers from youtube?

Also yep.
They seriously will just grab random VAs hanging around the office, give them a script for a show they've never heard of and tell them to cold read lines with minimal to no directing. The "directors" think they're some kind of genius auteurs who can elevate inferior material so they don't care how the Japanese did the story and actively try to prevent the VAs from interacting with it lest that "taint" some kind of great original performance. It is in fact literally as dumb as you think it is.

dubs usually have better voice acting. naruto and dbz are prime examples of this. original naruto voice acting sounds extremely monotone (even by japanese standards) and rushed like they were just trying to get through it as fast as possible. original dbz screaming sounds like women having a cat fight

look up streamers who play classic non-voice-acted games. You will notice VERY quickly that they constantly misread lines and outright forget them because they can't process what they have read.
