this is shin chan level of translation and you defend that redily enough

the way the op defends blatant mistraslation in this show is the way iv seen you and people of your persauion defend misstransation in bth video games and anime in the past
How can it be Shin-chan levels of translation when there aren't scenes cut or video edits, and the subtitled version is made available for anyone who doesn't care for the dub? None of that is true with Shin-chan.

Besides, any change from an absolute literal translation is apparently 4Kids/Shin-chan level degradation to you, so it's hard to take descriptions like "Shin-chan level of translation" seriously when everything gets that label.

look at fox japan''s siimppsm dub[ that is the bets dub of all time in any lanaguge

one syntax changes ot make it fit japanese barring that its traslated as it should be done not locallized

as you should no shin chan was aied subbed in some us states beofre the dub

yes this is 4 kids/shin chan level cuase of script changes thus it becomes an bad traslation job in this context im only talked about script changes

os yes this dub is on the level of aformmention anime and company

No dub is better than sub evaa

People who likes dub just can't read or too lazy or weak eye sight or slow reading comprehension

Comparing dub to sub is like saying Subaru from Re:Zero is smarter than Lelouch, Light, Sora, Shiro, Shikamaru and any other with above average IQ etc combined


I really hope you're joking.

Lol, I don't know what's with the hate on either but maybe we could either learn to acknowledge both mediums or at the very least respect each others preference. =)

I'm watching this show both in sub and dub form (currently on Episode 2).

Here are my personal opinions

Original Japanese audio
-I love Hisako Kanemoto for quite a while. She can voice anywhere from low voice (Bleach) to high and cutesy (Kotoura-san) and sometimes both (like the two characters that she voiced for Tokyo Ravens)
-Also, this is my first time to hear Rumi Okubo personally. She does make Aguri-chan sound really cute :)

That said, I do want to comment about Megumi Han
-She is very talented for sure...............though imho, it's very rare to hear her do a cute voice (like in Oremonogatari - My Love Story). Otherwise, she mostly does low voice roles (e.g. Hunter X Hunter, Fafner Exodus, Twin Star Exorcists).

So yeah, her voicing a dude is another low-voice thing that for me is somewhat okay but imho, I would've preferred a guy to voice this role (which is a point where the English dub shines at). Just personal preference I guess.

English audio
-Main dude is a voiced by a dude (obviously)
-Tia Ballard doing a great job voicing Aguri-chan and she is really matching with her Japanese counterpart. Thumbs up on that :)

But imho, the most important point here for me:
-Brittney Karbowski as Karen Tendo :)
I have been aware of her for years now since when voiced Ikaros in Heaven's Lost Property (Sora No Otoshimono) and her voice has been something that I look out for. However, the pinnacle moment for me was her role as Yuri in Angel Beats.

For me, what she did for Angel Beats really put her as one of the top English VAs on my list. Her voice as Yuri in that show was simply beyond what I expected.

So there. Just my two cents :)

P.S.
Btw, I know this may be subjective but I think it's wrong to say that all dubs suck.

In fact, there are some English dubs that match with their Japanese counterparts (e.g. Full Metal Alchemist, Angel Beats, Samurai Champloo, Alice and Zoroku) and even those that are better than the Japanese original voice (e.g. FLCL, Excel Saga, Cowboy Bebop, Black Lagoon.....and even Space Dandy)

In other words, there is no right or wrong approach and let's not generalize everything.

Peace :)

Some people really believe this. They don't seem to realize that there are actually some bad Japanese voice actors. Things that tend to annoy me with Japanese audio include 1. Overly shrill female voices 2. Overacting 3. SO MUCH SHOUTING!! at times!

Still, usually I prefer the Japanese audio, especially for shows set in Japan. I find that shows not set in Japan suit dub more. For instance the dub of Black Lagoon is pure AWESOME. Can't get enough of Revi's voice!

Honestly found the dub voices a bit annoying (tbf, the writing for the mc isn't amazing either). Especially Amano's argh. Can't get over Tendo being Chidori. Do like Best bud.

Sorry but they didn't nail anything. Most of these comments don't apply to the majority of modern dubs.

you're right. Even Funimations dubs are watchable now I checked out some shows and they were OK. Still some innacuracies and missing the point but that can happen in bad subs too.
Allthough dubs (as they are meant for US) tend to overlocalize and miss the point sometimes. But it's getting better with that too.
But Gamers dub is funny. I actually like watching some comedies (like Prison School and Shimonetta) in both sub and dub. Becaue the puns are different in dubs, I can laugh twice.

Funimation and aniplex don't "over localize" at all. They only localize some jokes in comedy dubs because the Japanese jokes will sound awkward in English.
BTW their dubs for popular shows like FMA, space dandy, steins gate, psycho pass, death parade, baccano, hellsing ultimate, panty and stocking, the devil is a part timer, kill la oil (aniplex) and fate zero (aniplex) are really well done.

"always" is obviously a stretch. I mean, almost every Funimation Dub is at least decent.

I think if any character is better in the dub, it would have to be Karen Tendou, She's voiced by Brittney Karbowski, and while none of her roles stand out to me, thinking back to all her roles combined, I think her skills are actually quite impressive.

It's been a long time since I watched Gamers, but I'm confident enough in Brittney Karbowski's skill to say confidently that she is better in the dub.

The dub was very good, except for Amano. He was sometimes a bit too shrill and almost sounded like that dub guy from Masamune-kuns Revenge.

The dub is f**king hilarious - the guy who voices Amano with his voice breaking into high pitch does a great job at conveying the awkwardness of adolescence! I'm a big fan of Brittney Karbowski (Nanachi, Rinmaru) too. I've just finished episode 4 and I'm REALLY enjoying it so far :D

Is Amano in the dubbed voiced by an actual dude, cause that's the only reason why I dropped Gamers. If so, this might be the first time ever since I've watched anime that I'd rather prefer the dub.


Yeah he actually sounds like a nerdy guy instead of girl in the dub.


Damm, now I want to try it as well, this MC is the most annoying one I have ever seen.
Based solely on his voice, from the start, very annoying, whoever picked this girl for him was drunk.

It maybe a good voice for Gon from HxH, but this MC is not a small kid...

haven't watched the sub, but the dub feels like an abridged series and a base series spliced together
