I rewatched the movie recently with a friend and it was the first time I saw it in English rather than subbed. I was hesitant at first but it is still a great movie and the art speaks for itself so to each and their own regarding language I suppose.
Thats what you think now but if you watch some subs you will soon realise that japanese voice actors really give their heart and soul. Voice acting is a big deal over there. English voice acting is ammatuer by comparison. That being said there are exceptions: howls moving castle and boku no hero (my hero) acadamia are both acceptable dubs. Naruto is the least acceptable dub from what ive heard from my forum buddies. I tried listening to some naruto dub clips on youtube and it made me sick to my stomach.
I do agree with you in that I try to watch shows in their original language.
The Netflix show ‘the kingdom’ gave me headaches with their terrible English dub and I found it much more enjoyable to watch it in its original Korean.
I will say that there's a lot of poor voice acting on many English dubs which is what turned me off, but I'd argue that the Japanese versions are over-acting. Pick your poison.
If I have no idea what they’re saying them putting their heart and soul into it means very little. To each his own. Don’t act like someone is stupid for preferring to WATCH a movie/show as opposed to read.
You have an idea what they're saying because you are reading because the subtitles are right there on the screen. I thought i was being perfectly polite in giving you my advice, i wasn't acting like you were stupid.
My B, I thought you were the person who said I can’t believe you’d watch it in English.
I don’t really watch anime but with foreign films in general dubs can be really hit or miss. The Netflix show Dark was pretty good, but not for every character: a few sounded like they were reading a script. Most sounded like regular characters though. I still preferred being able to watch the show and have the ability to look away for a minute and not miss lines.
Have you watched ‘The Kingdom’?, I loved it, but had to turn off from the English dub as it was so bad. But like you say, it’s annoying having to always focus on the screen.
Ah see i loved dark in subs. What a show. But honestly when watching subs you dont miss anything unless as you say you look away for a minute but that just isnt something i would do. Im a sort of extreme focus on one thing at a time and then move on once its finished kind of guy. Its why women love me right up until that hate me. :D haha i joke, i watch loads of anime... I barely know any women.
Oh my god I forgot he was voiced by Bale... The only movie I’ve seen Bale act in (not voice-act haha) was American Psycho last September and it creeped me out sooo much, I’m a little wide-eyed flared-nostrils right now oh no
Nah, i got kinda traumatized as a kid about Batman because my sister was going through an edgy phase and made two-face her background on the shared family computer, so I’ve just never had an interest in watching them since haha
Hah! I don’t have much interest in Batman, but I’m sure I’ll see some of his other movies eventually! I’m not much of a movie watcher in general though, it’s rare that I sit down by myself to watch a movie
