| The dub is never better. |
| Just curious, why ask for anyone else’s opinion? Usually this is the sort of thing someone can decide on their own, even if that means trying both options. |
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion. |
| Sub. Always sub, unless you wanna be reminded of JRPG's, from the early 2000's. |

@KryzakamiHrybami not always the case
| @OrcMeiser Only if you refuse to get the full experience. The Japanese language binds much more meaning within its sentence structures than any occidental language. Also, because it's written in Japanese beforehand, the dialogue convey the societal background and context from its source language, not from another language. But most importantly, English sucks as a spoken language. |

Dub only makes sense as a very young viewer who can't read yet. But then again, i live in a country where they never dub
| @dsudorion You gave your very first post after 8 years to me! I am grateful and I agree. |

@KryzakamiHrybami Ghost Stories? Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt?
| @-rkr- Ghost Stories dub is so infamously bad that people prefer to watch clip on youtube to laugh at it instead of actually watching the anime. Luckily enough it's made on an anime barely anyone cares about. If a popular anime would receive such a dub, I doubt the community would collectively agree to just laugh at it. It doesn't take much for the internet to whine over improper translation, and here we have a version that consist of everything a translation should avoid doing. Change in dialogues, altering the story, localization, addition of cringe humour. Well, quite frankly I don't see much difference in the quality of the dub from Ghost Stories than any other dubbed anime. They all suck to me. Panty and Stocking is not something I would watch in subs, let alone in dubs. |

| @LostSpectre Shouldn't I be the one to tell this to? I've been active on MAL for years doing exactly this. |

| @KryzakamiHrybami Sounds like that would just make you a hypocrite then. |

| @LostSpectre By the look of it you probably need some of these arguments in your face. That's a shame, I always thought you were smarter than the average here. |

| @KryzakamiHrybami Jesus Christ. You haven't watched these anime and decided to strawman both of them. None of the stuff you mentioned actually makes sense or is relevant to the fact that people prefer to watch these 2 anime in dub, aka they are funnier for English-speaking audiences in English. Panty and Stocking is not something I would watch in subs, let alone in dubs. Then why do you care that most English-speaking audiences prefer dub for Panty and Stocking? Because it invalidates your point? LOL Anyway, I was hoping you would have an "only a Sith deals in absolutes" epiphany. But now I see there is no point talking to a wall, bye |

-rkr- said: None of the stuff you mentioned actually makes sense or is relevant to the fact that people prefer to watch these 2 anime in dub, aka they are funnier for English-speaking audiences in English. Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is one thing since it's of the comedy genre either way and I couldn't ever see it being any other way regardless of what written or audio translation it receives in any other language in subtitles or dubbing, but with Gakkou no Kaidan it's not originally primarily a comedy and wasn't intended as that. The dubbing company responsible just completely changed the script and there is a lot of misinformation circulating around out there about this series. I've only ever watched the original Japanese audio version with English subtitling, and it's actually a quite good and fun horror and mystery show. It's almost like a darker and genuinely supernatural Japanese Scooby Doo equivalent, or the closest thing to something like a Courage the Cowardly Dog-type series I've seen in anime. In other words, kids/family-friendly horror series with some monster-of-the-week adventure and some weird and disturbing moments. I think someone preferring the dubbing on that show (most of those who like the dub have never watched the sub version, or in some cases don't watch subbed anime in general) don't prefer the show dubbed so much in the way someone prefers Panty & Stocking or another show dubbed due to some aural and translation preferences. It's more like they prefer a parody of the show versus the actual show, like the parody or abridged clip versions of shows on YouTube. |
