For me it was EN carty's full on scream at the end of 2.2. Then watching the scene with the JP dub and JP carty barely making a peep.


I'm noticing this in a lot of JP dubs in these gacha games lately. Compare EN Lupa's delivery during the final cutscene at the end of 2.4's boss fight

Listen to the fire behind the EN actor's voice, compare to how.....low energy the JP actress sounds.

Or for other games as example, listen to EN Phainon's acting in the "Hark, there's Revelry Atop the Divine Mountain" video

Listen to that powerful, agonizing scream the EN VA does as Phainon is charging at Nanook while he's burst into flames, and then listen to how he's completely silent in that moment in JP


Or an even more egregious example IMO, Manato from ZZZ's delivery in this scene:

Just listen to how ultra-aggressive he sounds in EN, the sheer POWER behind that those line deliveries, you feel it when he says "GET UP" as he does the Jojo pose, and then listen to how pathetic and limp-wristed he sounds in JP. Zero passion, zero fire. It borders on onions.

What the FUCK happened to JP VA's? How are they getting mogged by westerners now?

Hot take: The EN dub in this game is better than the JP dub, for example compare the line delivery in the cutscene where Manato goes full Jojo mode on his drowned ideal clone in EN vs JP:

Like holy fuck, hear the fiery passion in the EN VA's voice compared the limpwristed delivery of the JP VA. I've been observing this with other Chinese gacha games too, like WuWa or HSR, the english VA's seem way more passionate, where as the JP voices sound extremely generic. Not outright bad, but very lacking. Crazy because it's the polar opposite in anime's (besides rare cases like Dragon Ball Z). Like I'm the most anti-dubber ever and even I have to admit the EN dub is superior here.
