Tenderizer17 said: Actually, the sub version is more popular than the dub which takes us back to my point. I bet the sub population is just around 20% of the whole Steins;Gate anime audience. Not to mention two of these VAs are just two of the most favorite seiyuus in the entire anime industry. Yes, I'm talking about Kana Hanazawa and Mamoru Miyano. Check the MAL's Industry -> People to see what I mean.AX3M said: I'm sure they'd sound nice to a Japanese audience, but to a western audience there's definitely something wrong with the way they sound (Even if some people are fine with it)But they're mad seiyuus, they're so cool, sonofabitch!!!! |

Yes, I'm talking about Kana Hanazawa and Mamoru Miyano. Check the MAL's Industry -> People to see what I mean. Also, "20%". That's a severe understatement. Sub elitism is EXTREMELY common in the anime community. To prove this, of the audience for Black Clover (an anime with famously bad japanese voice acting), 85% are watching the sub. Imagine now, how an anime with voice acting widely (with the exception of me) considered good would fare. |
Tenderizer17 said: Yes, you are cherry-picking. And another thing is dubs generally lose the essence of intended context of the original language. Take the otaku jokes in Steins;Gate and most of Okabe's chuunibyou nonsense and his nonsense babbling with other characters. Remember that this is just S;G we're talking about, what more if we talk about anime in general? Sub elitism is not argument, it's an excuse for defending dubs.AX3M said: I can't be stuffed arguing me case, so I'll just settle on saying I strongly prefer the english voice actorsActually, the sub version is more popular than the dub which takes us back to my point.

AX3M said: That doesn't matter, what matters is whether the show provided is about as good or better than the original. You're also forgetting that we lose a lot of the intended context anyway by not being japanese (Japanese puns we don't get, comedic timing interrupted by having the entire joke displayed all at once, cultural references we don't understand). And another thing is dubs generally lose the essence of intended context of the original language. AX3M said: Perhaps I should have chosen a phrase with a different connotation. The point is, most people watch subs exclusively, and usually only give dubs a shot for a moment at a time (which is a REALLY poor way to judge them). Sub elitism is not argument, it's an excuse for defending dubs. |
Tenderizer17 said: Yes, and dubs make it much worse, they can never be better than subs. It always matters. As for the second one, you have a good point there, but it does not in any way make dubs any better than subs.AX3M said: That doesn't matter, what matters is whether the show provided is about as good or better than the original.

AX3M said: Dubs re-appropriate the dialogue for a western audience (and I'm not talking about the famous One Piece "I baked you some cookies" variety of translation). Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't. Sometimes we can understand a Japanese cultural reference, and sometimes we can't. Saying dubs can never be better than subs is irrefutably incorrect. Saying most dubs aren't better than subs is somewhat acceptable. I personally think 68% of dubs are good enough to rival their subtitled counterparts. I couldn't give a number on how many are better than the subs though. In most cases where I've seen both the sub and dub of an anime, I really struggle to decide which is better (There are some exceptions, like with Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun where the dub is astronomically superior to the sub). Yes, and dubs make it much worse, they can never be better than subs. It always matters I'm not entirely sure whether I fully countered your point here, I kind of just went on a rant. Hope this is still compelling enough AX3M said: You're right. It doesn't "make dubs any better than subs". The point I'm trying to make is that the hatred of dubs the sub-only community fosters, isn't fairly balanced and doesn't provide an accurate indication as to the general quality of dubs. As for the second one, you have a good point there, but it does not in any way make dubs any better than subs. |
| Probably something happened where they can't license it. If we're lucky, Steins;Gate 0 will be bundled with it when it gets released, or it'll be recapped in the show. |
