Always liked the Hellsing dub for doing accents, especially the Nazis with ze comical German accentz. The Japanese dub is really good too though so :shrug-outta-hecks:
Fun story is dubbing has two roots. One is in making film accessible to illiterate masses, which is good.
The other is entirely fash.
Dubbing is a brilliant tool for film censorship. Sound films began to appear in the early 1930s, a time when many countries were falling under the sway of totalitarian regimes. In Europe, these included those of Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco and the Nazis. Censorship had been a feature of film production and distribution in Italy, Spain and Germany since before these dictatorships took power, but it increased markedly after they did so.
Lol TIL I guess this is the most fash thing about me bc I prefer dubs :big-cool:
dubs can be fine if they’re done well, but that is so rare. Like Cowboy BeBop has a phenom dub and some fans still dunk on it.
