Unfortunately your son forgot to change to Voices to Japanese before starting a new game

He was exposed to 30 seconds of English voice acting… I am afraid there is no hope for him

Gomenasai, my name is Mads-Sama.

I'm a 54 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona, Metal Gear Solid series)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

I played Yakuza 7 with dub but starting with A Man Who Erased His Name and Infinite Wealth (and Pirates) I played with subs again. I like the old Kiryu English voice actor much more than Yongyea. Don’t get me wrong I don’t care about ecelebs doing voices (he does okay voice acting for a social link in Persona 3 Reload) but he is not a good fit for Kiryu at all. Otherwise the new dubs are alright.

>>717005387
hehe stupid bird

The only game I play with dub is Dynasty Warriors 3 and that's because it's hilarious. English is an inherently terrible language.

>>717005619
All the information we have right now is that the man is sleeping. Sounds ok to me.

I like how the usual argument for english dubs is how "you don't know japanese so you can't tell it's also bad", but I'm an ESL and i'm fluent in both english and japanese and I would take jap voice acting any day over the garbage english dubs.

>>717005948
I just like that we have a choice. From FFX to Yakuza 7 we did not. English was ALWAYS so fucking bad.

Japanese voice acting ratio great/good/bad is probably 20/30/50, whereas English dubs are something like 5/15/80

Japan ain't so le epic as the telly says.

That's because voice acting in the US is seen as being a failure, someone who wasn't good enough or attractive enough to get roles in front of the camera.

what are some chad-tier english dubs other than Yu Yu Hakusho?

I think Japanese is an ugly sounding language.

>>717006994
I don't think the issue is with Americans VAs. It's just that the kind of people the Japanese companies hire are pretty cheap and amateur in comparison to the high profile Japanese VAs they hire.
I mean compare Bamham to your Japanese games with English dub. It blows out of water completely because the game features big name actors like Mark Hamil

>>717008801
>That's because voice acting in the US is seen as being a failure
Is it?
That's not what I'm getting from someone like Troy Baker

>>717004497
Pretty much. I didn't mind English dubs so much when they were essentially just people that the studio found within their office that day. It was unprofessional as hell and often pretty bad, but it had a lot of charm missing in modern English VA work (which is still bad but lorded over by a clique of untalented faggots that can't actually act for shit).

>>717008171
The part of acting you actually care about is how people emote and the like. A lot of English-speaking actors literally can't emote for shit in their work (the British ones actually can since they are often actors/actresses in plays though).

>>717009084
Ghost Stories unironically, but any anime made before 2010 has either a passable/decent English dub or one "so bad it's good or at least entertaining".

>>717009481
mark hamil is commonly regarded as the best voice actor for the joker and has tons of experience with the character. There has been bad voice acting in animated batman though.

they got keifer sutherland to do an english dub for armitage III and even the sounded awful. so its nothing to do with "big names."

I just watch everything how it was made first

>>717010814
This.
A dub is never going to feel right, regardless of if I understand what's being said without the subs. The 'vibe' of whatever shit I'm watching or playing is gonna be thrown entirely off when the language itself is a entirely different aesthetic, and the emotion of the voice because of it is always going to be at least a bit wrong.
The only exception to this is if I'm watching something produced for a non-english speaking country but is set in a english speaking country. Because usually a dub isn't going to shove american voices in what's supposed to be set in britain, and it'd throw me out entirely if I'm watching something set in Texas and everyone's speaking japanese for some reason.

British english voice acting has actually turned out some good performances over the years, generally they are properly trained. Americans are fucking terrible and talentless. Voice acting is a very big deal in japan compared to the US, so yeah, they are objectively much better performers. It's much more serious than the crap the US shits out.

>>717009481
Troy has capitalized on his situation and made the most of it, but you can be sure if he was offered a regular on camera tv role or something in a movie, he'd drop the voice acting in a second. Voice acting seems to be very insular, with a few senior people in the union gobbling up all the roles (and 'appearing' in just about everything, like Troy Baker and others seem to do as a result. If you're not one of the top talents, all you get are the scraps they passed over or were too busy to book. Unless companies, usually the Japanese ones, stop hiring unionized actors, which can produce mixed results, as witnessed with the recast of Ada Wong for the remake of Resident Evil 4.

Making the demon sisters part of the main cast was a mistake.

>>717012807
Yeah and the same applies for virtually all EN voice actors.
They're themselves with maybe some minor inflections.
Americans don't understand how much schooling JP seiyuu receive in order to properly manipulate their voices to hit a wide range of accents, ranges, and emotions.
It's a whole industry that the west conveniently tries to handwave away as no big deal, but considering it's an industry that is approaching four generations old, there's a shit ton of institutional knowledge that exists.
To pretend some dumb blonde right out of LA arts college can compete with anyone in JP is quite insulting.

Plenty of actually skilled or at worst decent voice actors are out there. Seth Mcfarlane, Charles Martinet, Keith David, John Dimaggio, Roger Bumpass, Tom Kenny, Benedict Cumberbatch, Wallace Shawn, Mike Judge, Grey Delisle, Nathan Lane, the list goes on. What's sad is everybody starting after the year 2000 eirher thinks cheap funimantion dubs are a standard to strive for, or if you show the slightest bit of promise it's grounds to act like the biggest faggot possible (Gianni Matagrano, Sungwon Cho).
I don't know what happened. Seriously, Star Fox 64 hired random fucks for the english version and their voices were amazing. Conker's Bad Fur day was voiced by two randoms in the Rare offices and was legendary. Something went horribly wrong in the school for voice acting, I don't know what but it's noticeable.

>>717025587
>i like persona 4's english dub actuall-

For Japanese stuff I'll usually go with subs but the whole
>eng va is always bad!!
is frankly not true.
Imo it always comes down to japanese writing being so shit that it needs really exaggerated voicework to be able to carry the intended message and emotion.
Otherwise, how do you explain games like Cyberpunk, RDR, GTA, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, TLOU, Overwatch or God of War which also have really great and memorable performances?

>>717025325
Their dubbing industry is simply too small and got hijacked by a somewhat organized union. Most other countries have a much wider selection of voice actors because they had to dub all the English content

>>717004437
I hone my mad nihongo skillz by watching AKBingo every day.

Voiceovers are a based middle ground between sub and dub that should be used instead.

>>717025929
>Imo it always comes down to japanese writing being so shit that it needs really exaggerated voicework to be able to carry the intended message and emotion.
Nah retard, it's because English writers are failing to adapt shit written in a completely different language, with a completely different sentence structure and a completely different idea of composition within words and sentences. That's why Japanese shit "sounds cringey/bad" a good deal of the time, because what often happens is that a low effort literal TL is shit out and it is then trimmed down a bit so the dub voice actors can read it and have it sync with the lipflaps.

There's also the whole issue of some Japanese words having a dozen meanings and that then needing to be translated to English ("kokoro" and "kakugo" come up a lot, and often get watered down to just "heart" and "determination" respectively).
Japanese -> English translations are the GREATEST argument against translation in general.

>>717025929
No, the issue is that trannylators do a bad job, and they hire the cheapest retards possible to do the VA work. MGS1 has some great VA work in English (and in Japanese), and the rest of the series is fucking awful in English, like MGS2 having a dozen completely miscast roles.

So it sounds bad, except it doesn't.

>>717006709
Its not like english voice acting is bad, there are tons of great voice actors in games and animation in the west. I also love many voice actors from my own language and believe they do amazing work when dubbing childrens cartoons and games.

The thing is english anime and JRPG dubs are not done by those with talent but by a group of retards. Its just a fact that Japanese is superior in these cases. Except in few rare cases, which you then realize are because those series have actual budget for the dub and someone making sure that shit is done well like Dragon Ball.

How would you know, you can't read it.

>>717027261
It's some of the worst translation work, but it's the best localisation work. None of the other titles are even worth playing in English, they fuck everything up by being overly literal and filled with awful lines nobody would ever say.

>>717028124
Why would I bother? You can't play them.

>>717027161
Because weebs don't actually give a shit about Japanese culture.
It's why literally every single immigrant in Japan admits the first thing they did was ditch any of that weeb obsession they previously had.
Like it's fine to enjoy some of it and watch those shows or play those games, but it can't be your whole life because no normal functioning person in Japan has it as their life either.

>>717008095
Because it's not that, english VAs are neither as good as japanese ones, nor are they putting as much effort, somehow Italian dubs of anime in the 80s,90s and early 2ks were on par and sometimes even superior to japanese ones, the first saint seiya is a testament to that where they basically turned the anime into an epic poem with usage of high linguistics and did a spectacular job, hokuto no ken was another really good one.

Theres something about western actors, they never seem to give their all, they specially half ass screams to take care of their voice. Meanwhile JP VAs go all out even on the smallest of roles.

>>717030907
Alright, let me consult the average grammar rules.
Rule: Japanese words in English don't use the -s suffix in the plural form.

Wow that's interesting, I think I'll stick to this average grammar rule.

Stuff that's actually made in America doesn't have this problem.

I wonder do weebs also set Sekiro or Ghost of Tsushima in Japanese too? Do they think it makes them more authentic or something?

>>717009758
No, it boils down to the directors being incompetent

This is an argument about the difficulty of languages now?

Japanese grammar can be a bit weird compared to europan languages because some of the conventions and things like word order is different but is comically simple once you get used to it. Vocab is just pure grind like any other language, nothing easer or harder here.
The only issue is that becoming literate has a high bar to entry because you'll need to know a lot of kanji and they don't have consistent readings in compound words.
And if you are experiencing foreign culture it's just more interesting to do it in it's original language. You'll probably never use japansese for anything useful but if you are going to sit and watch anime anyway why not develop a skill while you are at it.

Aren't the majority of English VAs just regular people with a good voice and won't stammer reading off a script, while Japanese VAs are full-on actors who actually studied theatre or the like so they have a clue on how to convey emotions properly?

This almost happened to me once, stay safe out there guys

There were a few golden ages for western voice acting making English dubs tolerable, but now the inner cabal of English VAs has shifted and the """"talent"""" that took over is essentially the concentrated form of people acting based on what they find appealing in their limited scope rather than through an actual wide variety of experience and training. What I mean specifically is that Japanese voice acting is essentially the language turned to 11. It's wacky, it's bombastic, it's shit that a Japanese person would never hear in that intonation in their daily life unless the people talking like that were retarded or uncannily eccentric. And yet it works because it's incredibly expressive and moving. A good VA can transform an entire scene and that's something that transcends language, you can hear it without understanding it, you can feel it.

English VAs hear the source material and take one of three routes. You have general incompetence like monotone readings or a general lack of expression and ability to read and act out certain types of emotions. The generic go-to voice types that try to emulate some of the greatest of western dubbing but fail to encapsulate any of it, as if they were amateurs trying to break out into the scene... except these are the people that keep getting roles now. And finally, you have your super try hard VAs that are amateurish and attempt to match the range of expression the original Japanese dub has, except they fail miserably and wrap back around into pure cringe territory with how little they truly understand how to work with the English language, which again wraps back into general incompetence. I have yet to hear good VAs in anime and video games dubbing original Japanese works for at least a decade now. They don't do the heavy lifting. They don't make you feel shit, they don't move you.

At least he understood the dialogue. Unlike when you put the jap voices and dozens an dozens of background voices or even "not important dialogue" are not subbed...

I was trying out Lost Sword last night and I was annoyed at the English dub at the start. There is no Japanese dub so I went with Korean voices as soon as I was able to change it. English voices don't work in anime media including all those English vtumors

I like dubs but since learning JP I play all JP games like that

English is not my native language. As for my native language, I would never EVER want to hear it in ANY game, like, holy fucking shit. It would be super fucking cringe. I'll take English over that any day.
English is still cringe in 99% of games. I can think of a handful of examples like WoW where it sounds fine. But for RPGs and such, hell no, take that shit away and give me Japanese.

i genuinely can't understand how do people play asian games/watch anime in english. it's SO cringy it makes me shiver every fucking time

>>717048148
If it's cringe in English it's just as cringe in Japanese, you just don't feel it because you don't understand it. It becomes noise to you instead of words.
At a certain point you need to realise the cringe is the content and not the delivery

It's more palatable in Japanese because it's their culture. English dubs that try to mimic it are always total shit. "The anime voice" is shit and I hate it.
The best dubs are the ones where the actors just act normally and don't start making weird grunts or gasps that normal English speakers would never do

yeah that's what im saying, shits so fucking cringe
the only "serious" dub i remember is sekiro, but the jap vo just simply mogs it so bad it's not even funny

>>717035215
Universal language is pretty much inevitable at this point. One of the things AI can do is translate, and you dont even need AI to do it. I was in Japan recently and auto translation tools are literally everywhere. Every restaurant, every cabbie, every hotel desk has a device for translating.

I do not believe in AGI or the AIpocalypse or whatever but one thing I think will happen within our lifetime is seeing the beginnings of a universal language or such convenience of auto translation that there may as well be.

>>717048431
>If it's cringe in English it's just as cringe in Japanese, you just don't feel it because you don't understand it
Nah, absolutely not. Even when I understand it in both languages, Japanese sounds completely fine, and English sounds cringe. Japanese voice actors are unironically next level.
Whenever I hear shit in English, it feels forced.

Sekiro's dub is completely dogshit because you would have to be clinically retarded to play it in English. All the care that was put into picking the Souls/Elden Ring voice actors, which are exclusively English audio games, was instead directed towards the Japanese language for Sekiro. The only reason an English dub exists is because I assume Activision correctly thought that Americans are subhuman are required it.

>>717049959
Interesting. Did you start as a regular English teacher and use your language ability to move up? I've always head it's a dead end.

>>717037976
>Come one dude, it ain't them.
It's always them. There should always be an editor located close to the source material (dev team) making sure that translators aren't free to write whatever they want. It's too easy to blame it on translators who are often just low-paid outsourcers. If as a studio you're not doing accuracy checks that's on you. (I worked in the industry, our translators and LOC QA in Europe had to answer to their respective editors (German/Italian/French etc.) located in Tokyo, they weren't free to translate however they wanted). And if there was a translation conflict, things would just be escalated to the LOC Manager who would then have meetings with the Japanese writers/lore specialists etc.

Translation mistakes exist because of mismanagement from the Japanese parent company, or simply cutting corners with costs, tighter deadline leaving no room for review pass, lower headcount with no LOC editors close to the source material etc. You get what you paid for. If all you do is copy/paste whatever text you get back from your LOC vendor, that's on you.

I'm going to be honest, it was pure luck. I applied for a job at a large English teaching company and made a good impression in the interview, but found out during the interview they didn't pay employee's insurance/pension so I told them I'd have to decline the position. A few days later I was contacted by them again to let me know that an associate institution was looking for a manager/teacher and did pay a set monthly salary with insurance etc. and they'd put me in touch with them if I liked. Went there and got hired on the spot, which seemed suspicious at the time but its turned out to be the best job I could've hoped for. Pay is good and I get essentually three months a year off, same as the students. My job involves a lot if business Japanese correspondence with students and their parents though, so I couldn't have gotten it without Japanese proficiency.

>>717050797
Well, thanks for answering anyway. It does give me hope that just trying enough times will lead to luck somewhere.
