| I'm not sure how the rest of the English dub was, but I rewatched the ending confession with dub because I was curious how they would pull it off (given the nature of it being all Haiku + play on Japanese words (ha = tooth as well as leaf)). But man. I'd like to say I have high tolerance for sappy, but that was the cheesiest thing I have ever seen, beyond the point of simple tensing up and cringing, but to a point of laughter (whilst still cringing). Given this was my first exposure to a dub, I hope it's not representative of the average dub out there lmao (to be fair, translating that kind of thing without it being sappy is next to impossible). Learn Japanese folks, otherwise many moments like those are prone to sounding forced and unnatural (even through subs), instead of rather sweet and minimal-cringe |

| I thought the ending was pretty fine in the dub, plus for me the only thing I could watch was the dub. There wasn't anything that was "bad" with the dub in my duration of the film. But yeah dubs can be cringy to people who only watch sub. |

| piss |

Their list of subtitles available is huge |
| LMFAO i rewatched the confession in dub just because of this and FUCKKKKKKK THAT WAS SO CRINGY BUT I COULDNT STOP SMILING BECAUSE IT WAS KINDA FUNNY TOO the words were pretty much the same but understanding what he was saying through audio was just something else |
| Since it's based on Japanese language haiku, are you saying that the English translations in the dub are weird?? I wouldn't mind checking this anime out especially since it's easily accessible on Netflix. But do we know if the Netflix subtitles are translated from the original Japanese language script, or the English dub script?? I think that matters if we're talking about a cringey dub lmao is a dub of this show even worth watching?? |

| I cringed at the subs ending, I can’t imagine what the dub would’ve been like lmao |
| Just watched it dubbed and had no problem with the ending. |
demision said: The translations are fine, albeit rather unnatural to use that kind of language in English. The dub is a bit different than the English subs used (the subs are more directly translated to the Japanese script). But in any case it's not so much about how well things got translated over, it's just the dub English voice-over and natural language differences make the dub ending particularly cringe (translating the feeling of the historic, poetic Japanese used in the Haikus is practically impossible - much of the art is within the language itself. Going in English, it just feels off base)Since it's based on Japanese language haiku, are you saying that the English translations in the dub are weird??

| I watched the dub with the original subtitles and I thought it actually fit the film pretty well. Cringy, yes - reminded me a bit of the "Jesus died for our CYN-thias" poetry slam in 22 Jump Street. But it's a cringy moment in a pretty gentle movie about teenagers who are insecure about giving their full selves to the world - so sure, be a little cringy. |

enzombie said: I explained why I bothered with it in the literal first sentence of this post. Perhaps try reading lolWhy would you even bother with the dub? I don't think I've ever enjoyed anything dub, maybe The Simpsons cause it's funnier in spanish but that's pretty much it |
| LMAO I JUST CHECKED OUT THE DUB CONFESSION it sounds cringe asf |

| i had no problems with the dub. It got the same point across. The movie itself was dull tho |
 |
| It pretty much translated the Japanese, but to express such in English is very unnatural, maybe the voice acting added to the effect idk, but overall it was uber cringe lmao. Give it a watch(: |
| The English language is cringe. The only English dub anime that is passable is Code Geass. I watched the movie dubbed in Spanish and the confession felt very romantic and cute. |
| its as bad as sub, just because its a japanese confession doesn't make it any less cringy. It was more cringy in dub yes, but that was beacuse it was fukin cringy straight out |

Just_A_ManBOi said: Maybe if you were watching the sub with english subtitles, in which case the English is still part of it. It's not that it isn't cringe in Japanese, but if you know Japanese it's not too bad. The problem is fitting English into Haikus doesn't work as nice as Japanese to Haikus - the style of the confession was far more natural under the Japanese language than when put into English. The dub only heightens this effect because it's no longer just reading English words on subtitles, but using voice actors behind it to create extra cringey emphasisits as bad as sub, just because its a japanese confession doesn't make it any less cringy.

| I watched the sub as I never watch dubs. But, I didn't find the ending good. It was weird even in Japanese. Yelling from a tower during fireworks while the whole crowd is listening? C'mon man, just tell the girl privately. |
 |
| I just watched it dubbed with my niece lol yeah it was stupid, almost looked like he was rapping. I liked it enough that I honestly think I'm gonna rewatch it subbed rn. |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
| Haha yeah. I am forever a dub watcher, but the ending was really like ….rapping at best. |
   |
| I think dubs are good (If an anime has a dub, I watch it in dub). They have definitely improved since the late 90s. They aren't perfect but I think they are improving every year. Some shows will always be hard to translate like the monogatari series and other language heavy anime. Sometimes it is difficult to get the subtle nuances of the language across. I'm sure the dub directors do their best to make it sound more natural to english viewers. |
