Hi

Most of the time I go with subbed but I recently thought of switching to dubbed. I'm watching Dragon Ball Z in English and it's pretty good. Please suggest some others which are great in dubbed.

Cheers

    im about to piss some weebs off but if you dont speak japanese there is literally no reason not to watch dubs over subs if you dont feel like reading or the subs make it harder to follow etc

    anime characters aren’t real people so its not the same as watching a dubbed live action film where the actor said something a specific way with a specific inflection in their voice and a specific emotion on their face

    whether its the japanese OVA or the american english dub some anime character going “awaaahhh!!!” is gonna be cringe regardless. its campy in both languages. english only speakers who act like dubs are inferior to subs are literally just neckbeards who want to feel superior about some dumb cartoon

    yes, many times the translations could effect the flow of the story or there could be mistranslations or whatever else, but at the end of the day, you’re watching a cartoon and you’re getting the story mostly how it was meant to be told

    with that being said watch the ghost stories dub because its specifically horrible in the best way (the actors were allowed to just wing it basically and its hilarious)
