Why do weebs sperg out about dubs in an anime?
I don't understand why you wouldn't rather want to watch a show in a language that you can actually understand instead of having to focus your eyes on subtitles all the time.
Yet weebs act like they detest anime dubs and it's fucking weird and I want to understand why.

If you don't speak Japanese you probably can't tell when the voice acting is bad or not so it's inherently less cringe than listening to a bad dub.

Most dubs sound like shit and it's literally zero effort to read subtitles. I think most people who don't watch the sub are just slow readers or have dyslexia or something.

Dubbing over actual actors is different than dubbing cartoon characters. They were dubbed over in the first place.

It's because they can hear the absolutely cringe-inducing lines that come out of the english voice actors and it irritates them (and everyone) because they understand what they're saying now instead of it being contained in subtitles.

English is a retarded language
There's no sonority to english and people that speak slightly different get called "accent" by how limited the words are
English voice actors suck balls
The ones that don't suck balls are just a handful and they get celebrity treatment where they imitate their own voice instead of fitting in a character
Translating things is retarded

Aside from being an abomination artistically, dubs often significantly change the script. Dubs also erase all untranslatable language and cultural details.

Subtitles are how it should be done. And well done subs should have no localization what so ever. Also, any untranslatable words should be left untranslated. Also, the best subs, when faced with concepts which do not exist in English, for a few frames entire paragraphs are displayed explaining the concept in detail which you can pause to read.

Is it just me or do English voice actors sound overly dramatic? Like nobody talks like that. It's cringe.

Do you think Japanese people feel the same when they hear that stuff in Japanese?

>Translating things is retarded
How are you supposed to watch anime then?
Do you expect everyone to know Japanese?
>>81744380
That's because it's what it's like in Japanese.
Can't you hear how dramatic and over emotional they sound?

Maybe it sounds less cringe because I don't know what they're saying.

BECAUSE MOST DUBS AFTER LIKE THE MID 2000S FUCKING SUCK. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMETHING LIKE SGT. FROG OR DBZ KAI AND NEW SHIT LIKE THE MODERN JOJO DUB IS NIGHT AND DAY.

PLUS LOCALIZERS ARE POZZED AS ALL FUCK AND MAKE SCRIPTS EITHER ROBOTIC, GAY, OR BOTH
