Welp, guess I have a new anime to watch

Sword Art Online just aired its first english episode on Toonami, and now I can watch it online, so I'm going to be anticipating another show

 

Toonami was two nights ago.

 

do you ever get tired of watching anime?

 

Prepare for disappointment.

 

Yeah, and I completely forgot about it with all the job applications I've been doing.

Not really, since it's a way for me to kill time when I'm not playing games or watching movies

 

>watching dubs over subs

WATER YA DOING

 

Well, I do believe water is hanging around in the air as a gas, floating around in the sea with its oxygen buddies, and cooling off as a solid in whatever place it's not a gas or liquid.

And I just saw the first episode, and I think it can turn out pretty well. I don't know how people feel about the voices so far, but I thought they fit fine.

 

Dubs are better than subs!

 

F***, Amaury agrees with me.

 

Unless the subs are in relation to a caption such as my new signature which either reminds us of very nostalgic and awesome/funny moments, or it just adds amusement to what could very well have been just a silent gif with us guessing....now excuse me while I go back to my brain and figure out why the heck I posted what I just did

 

Please tell me you've tried watching English dubs of Naruto, One Piece, or Elfen Lied.

 

I've seen dubbed Naruto, yes. The others shows I've never seen.

 

Fixed that for ya.

 

I've seen Naruto, actually like some of the voice actors, and Naruto stops being annoying when he stops that stupid catchphrase of his. One Piece, I won't lie, does sound pretty stupid still, especially when I compare it to Funimation's, but I got over it. Elfen Lied I haven't seen so I can't say.
But I can still get over the voices and ignore them all for the sake of seeing the show. I'd still like to listen and understand what they're saying instead of dealing with more annoying japanese voices. There are a lot of subs I've seen that have annoyed me more than english dubs with their voices

 

Then you should know how terrible an English dub can be :\

That sounds just extremely lazy to me, but whatever, I won't criticize you for it. There's jut a point where voice actors sound so dispassionate or over all bad (or once again, the male protagonist is voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch), I need a version that isn't annoying or unintentionally hillarious/awkward.

 

Don't know why it's lazy at all. I'm sure people in japan would rather watch a show in their own language as well. There's nothing lazy about it at all. And I like it when characters are unintentionally hilarious/awkward, it makes the show more amusing; plus I think Johnny Yong Bosch is a very good voice actor, and I haven't really seen him voice any bad characters, I think he gets the personality just right. And I find the japanese actors dispassionate or over all bad as well as english, it has nothing to do whether it's just dub or not. It's all just personal preference.

 

"I DON'T WANT TO READ" sounds kinda lazy to me. It's a terrible excuse I keep hearing from people who don't want to watch foreign films. Hope you'll understand that.
It's not good when the show's supposed to be in a serious moment though. I couldn't ever take Kamina seriously in the Gurren Lagann dub because he just sounded awkward trying to do the whole comedic manly thing.
I never said Johnny Yong Bosch is bad. He's just freaking everywhere, to the point where if I ever hear him, I just think up every other role he does, because he literally has the same voice for every role he's done. Vash=Ichigo=Soul Evans=Nero. Other English voice actors are guilty of this too, but this guy specifically is one I keep hearing.
I didn't say that all Japanese voice actors are good though. But unfortunately from what I've seen with English dubs of anime, English voice actors don't seem to put as much effort. Maybe it's just me, because I've taken theater and choir classes and can tell the difference.

 

I never said "I don't want to read" specifically. I just don't prefer it. If the show is subbed and not dubbed and I want to watch it, I'll read the subs, but I prefer a show I can watch, and if need be, just listen while I'm on another tab doing something important. If I'm listening to japanese, I have no clue what's going on.
And I could always take Kamina seriously unless he was meaning to be kidding. He was just that sort of character.
And I think I've come across more Japanese voice actors that I don't like than english, and there are only so many voice actors I don't like. I could count on my hands how many there are, if I could even remember who was who

 

I've not watched that much anime, so I tend to gravitate towards liking whichever I watch first out of dubs and subs.

plus you should generally try to support dubs so the companies know this is a show people like and it gets more exposed & you get more merch and the like

 

But as much as I want to support the dubs, some of these dubs are just so terribly unwatchable, when I could watch the subs with (usually) genuinely good voice acting. I support dubs where they deserve it, like Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Dragon Ball Z (I tried the subs...no please), FLCL, Samurai Champloo, and Ghost in the Shell.
