Comment on subs > dubs
Meganium97@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months agoThere may also be cases where there are many untranslatable jokes that may fall flat when viewing the sub. I know it’s a bit extreme, but take Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Multitudes of untranslatable text and jokes so they just decided to redo the whole thing.

Not even that extreme. There’s series like Monogatari that they didn’t even try to dub because of the sheer amount of puns and japanese double-meanings they’d have to adapt. Unfortunately, a lot of good series can’t work in a different languages without footnotes explaining stuff, and at that point I might as well watch the sub.
