If you think this about Baccano or Cowboy Bebop, your opinion is factually incorrect
Comment on subs > dubs
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 months agoI’ve listened to some of the so-called “good” dubs. They’re still trash.

Fate/Zero and Psycho-Pass dubs are both very much superior to their subtitled counterparts. Fight me.

Honestly I think some of the older dubs are the best (your cowboy bebops, your Gurren laganns, and even silly shows like Ouran High School Host Club had great casts), back when the industry still had passionate and skilled actors. Now it’s well known that anime voice acting pays for shit and all the talent has left for greener pastures—and I don’t blame them.
Now it feels to me like most dubs get stuck with VAs just at the start of their careers and it really shows… Most dubs make me cringe nowadays with the acting.
Plus, I feel like you get a more accurate translation with subs because they’re not trying to fit tweaked dialog into previously-animated mouth movements.
I used to really advocate for dubs and preferred them, but my stance has flipped quite a bit in recent years. Kinda sad to see them decline so much :(
