I prefer subs on literally everything and always will, dubs just don't really do it. I usually get subititles for all my English movies too, makes it easier to follow along especially if you're a bit distracted. Some English movies I have real trouble understanding due to the accents especially if they are foreign variants.

Also Western studios probably comprise 75% of all games that are made, I don't think pointing to a few games released in the past five years that were decent actually means anything

Old man yells at cloud moment, but: I'm annoyed a lot of movies have the habit of like whisper level dialogue combined with speaker blowing special effects and music. I don't wanna play with the remote the entire movie or annoy my apartment neighbors, and I don't really wanna wear headphones all the time.

and for video games it's just easier to remember poo poo that you read rather than only heard cause i don't really care for cutscenes and video game dialogue, i just wanna be able to catch something that might be important.

I quickly developed a 104 fever in high school shortly after eating doritos 3Ds and it probably wasn't the doritos that did it, but that's been the only food that makes me feel sick to even think about due to the association. I thought I kinda dodged a bullet there because they went off the market pretty quick. I thought I was free of its oppressive presence.

When I was a teenager I had a 24" RCA tv that had an option called "automatic volume leveling system" that fixed this.

Oh I'm totally with you. The mixing, I feel like, is designed for the movie theater where noise isn't a concern and you want large variations in sound levels. At home though I'm basically constantly adjusting the volume up and down to compensate for their lovely mixing that makes the louds too loud and the softs too soft. Not just to my perception either, but in the sense that the quiet parts can hardly be heard at all while the loud parts can be heard two apartments away

Games actually seem a bit better about that, movies are def the worst

Not mixing related but dub quality related

For all the talk about voice acting quality being bad, most good voice acting doesn't sound natural either. Like, no one talks like a character voiced by Tony Jay, but he was loving great. Voice acting that sounds actually natural to me is so rare that when I hear it, it catches me off guard. The last game I can remember playing where a character sounded to me like they were just talking normally but believing their own performance was the protagonist in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. It struck me when I heard this particular delivery of "what the hell is this"

The old ubisoft naruto game was really fun, it was a metroidvania fighter and it really worked as a game. From what I've seen all the others are all terrible cutscene attack trash games. They were more like the anime trash they were based on.

The Japanese voiceovers are not "better". You just don't speak Japanese so you can't tell they are the same crap as the English VOs.

As a professional translator who does speak Japanese, the quality of Japanese voiceovers is generally higher.

That said, I generally dislike Japanese dubs of non-Japanese content. In conclusion, all dubs are bad.

oh yeah. my unpopular food opinion is that you all should eat more lung, gods own organ meat. you see, fractals are natures way of making stuff have more surface area and more surface area means more flavor. puff pastry and phyllo get delicious by the baker's fractal (baker's map), romanesco is just better than normal broccoli which is in turn better than brussels sprouts, and lung, properly cooked, is the tastiest part of the animal. too bad the fda banned it in america

Its a hot debate in market, especially for movies. Usually subs have more showings for big american films, but some smaller ones are dubs only. Long tail is tricky to predict, sometimes dubs are the long tail sometimes subs.

I know at least for the Simpsons they gave up dubbing it because it wasn't worth the extra costs because that kind of show just doesn't work for Japanese audiences.

raw horse rules. whale is good but strange. natto is disgusting. those haunted moving fish flake things can all go to hell


the best beef tartare I ever had was at au pied du Cauchon in Paris


my folks lived in eschborn in Germany in the 80s and my dad accidentally ordered pork tartare once. he didn't like it. but he said the germans take it super cereal and inspect the meat with a microscope prior to serving.

It's a pretty good dub actually. Arguably they're not quite the same characters but it works as a thing in and of itself.
