I’ll give you 3 reasons why I don’t like dubs as a whole in both anime and live action.
1.) During the original production of a movie/series the director is heavily involved in how the character sounds and tailors the voice to what they desire from that character. This doesn’t happen in dubs. A new director is brought in and changes things.
2.) I watch (most) stuff as it airs in Japan and get accustomed to the characters voices.
3.) Dubs often translate things differently from the Japanese translation for no good reason, and I’m saying this as someone who can speak basic Japanese.
4.) I know I said 3 but here’s point number 4. Allot of dubs (and I’m mainly talking about Funimation here) have the exact same voice for multiple characters who are completely different in personality. There’s no change in tone and it skews the personality of the character.
Does the above mean that I don’t ever watch dubs? No. I wouldn’t be able to put forth an argument against dubs if I hadn’t seen/heard them. Dubs are good when you’re drunk and you can’t read subtitles anymore. What annoys me is people who watch dubs assuming that I’m some sort of elitist for watching things how I prefer to watch them.
If you want to watch dubs go ahead, you can eat shit all day as well for all I care, just don’t start preaching to me about how your shit tastes better than my steak.
