| I think changing the word from "love" to "like" during the "swings at night" scene and the "love confession" scene disrupts the entire emotional theme of the movie. Kai's character arc depends on hm honestly expressing his love. When Kai stops short of telling Lu he loves her at the end and instead says he likes her, it shows he hasn't changed. This totally contradicts Kai's epic love ballad he had just sang. It proves he remains reserved and shy. I've seen and heard many bad translations. This was insanely egregious. To destroy the growth/arc of the protagonist is really dumb. I understand this stems from the prudish nature of western culture. There seems to be around a seven year age gap. If that were the case then this story is just not compatible with western culture. It should have been avoided if not translated earnestly. Forgive my rant. I really liked this movie and the English script shat all over the moral of the story. It really bothered me. I just had to shout into the void. |
| If you think all love is sexual that is something you have to deal with. A person can love another person without the urge to bang them. I'm not saying they did or didn't have a romantic relationship. At the very least they had a platonic love relationship. The "love confession" moment is a huge milestone in anime storytelling. Swapping out love with like changes the strength of the emotion. Like ≠ Love. |
True, having even moderate expectations for a Dub is a recipe for disappointment. But there are exceptions. The Dragon Maid dub is great the writers were on point and Sarah Wiedenheft nailed her role as Tohru. Some dialogue was changed yet the meaning behind the words were not. |

I know this thread is old but with the dragon maid dub they 100% changed the meaning behind words. They queer cucked tohru by saying Kobayashi wasn't lesbian explicitly while in the sub it is left vague and we learn that she simply doesn't know how to process having someone love her in that way yet. |
