General - Anime or Manga? - View Post

Anime. Specifically dubbed anime. I know I'm a horrible person for preferring dub to sub. But I can't fucking stand the over the top Japanese VA. Maybe to some people it's fine but to me it's like stabbing a knife into an eardrum. Also all Japanese VA for girls sound the fucking same, barely above sounding like a chipmunk.

One other thing. People often say sub is more faithful to the original... that's not always the case. As someone who knows about as much Japanese as a Japanese 2 year old (took it for a year and a half and study it on my free time when I'm not doing French) I can tell you right now a lot of that sub shit doesn't match what the Japanese VA is actually saying. I don't have specific examples but if you wanna watch anime "pure", just learn the language
