#listening to the English dub

I was saving this for my surgery but frankly I Have Given Up on that so I watched the first episode of Dungeon Meshi on Netflix today. We'll see if I have much to say about it but I'll create a new tag for that purpose: #kat watches dungeon meshi
It's possible that it's entirely non-diegetic but I'm kind of suspicious about the voiceover narrator rn. It sounds like a voice that would work for the winged lion.

ok i got another one
i can’t seem to find a comprehensive list of dub languages online rn, these are the audio options i can select on my netflix account – not included in the poll but also available to me are hindi, indonesian, thai and a japanese audio description. idk tho if those are all that were produced or if there’s more options that are just not available in my region, lmk if there’s something else i missed here! also if you’ve listened to/watched multiple of these options do kindly tell which one(s) you like best!
#personally im a original language with sub truther. not just with anime but in general#rlly tho i hope this gets around bc. well the results could provide some important insights on a lot of discourse in the fandom. imo#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#i uh. for what it’s worth i really don’t like the english dub i think it sounds jarring and weird#german one is pretty hit or miss i’ve watched a few scenes from different episodes and some i liked and other. not so much#most of the VAs are good but don’t really fit their respective characters#french one is pretty good! also sounds like they put more budget/professional VAs into that one. which is no surprise#given how they are about anything comic or cartoon in france#i also listened into italian and spanish i think but. i forgor#other languages that i dont speak at all are harder to judge so haven’t checked those yet#with japanese i have atleast a very basic understanding of grammar and some common vocabulary and phrases

Hot take but German VA Mizu > English VA Mizu
German Mizu has a deep, kinda raspy(?), but clear voice. Like a wolf. Amazing. English Mizu has a kinda deep? Also raspy voice but like do you have something in your throat? Do you need a cough drop?
German trailer for anyone curious:
youtube
#I LOVE Mizus German voice holy shit#I listened to 10? 15? minutes of the English dub during my rewatch and then switched back to German#When a medium is taken serious (like a movie etc) the German dub is always amazing#Less so for videogames unfortunately...#But German Mizu is MWAH <3#bes#blue eye samurai#Youtube

you know im very happy that proZD got to voice senshi in the english dungeon meshi dub but you could not force me to listen to an anime english dub at gunpoint im sorry. Im sure hes doing a lovely job.
#the english dub people always do this cringe like over the top deep voice?#and listening to the japanese voices they're always like exaggurated yeah they're doing character voices#but the english side is like they exaggurated the exagguration#its incredibly rare to find a english dub that isnt like viscerally cringy i dont understand why

Why do English speakers insist on listening to Japanese audio when playing a Chinese game? I don't get it. Why always Japanese? Why is Japanese the default? Obviously you're the kind of person that feels English just sounds too terrible for your cultured ears, so that's out of the picture. But why is Chinese, the native language, never your first choice? "I like the way Japanese sounds." So Chinese sounds bad to you? "I'm learning Japanese." Like hell you are learning anything playing a game with Japanese dialogue with English text. So what is it? Is Chinese just lesser to you or something?
#rambles#'i'm learning japanese' is honestly the biggest bullshit excuse#if ingesting japanese in that fashion taught you anything worth while then hardcore anime fans would be fluent#it kinda just disgusts me the amount of people that default to japanese#even hoyo defaults to japanese on their trailers where an english va wasnt available#chinese is just the lesser language#i dont get it#if you want the most accurate authentic experience wouldnt you choose chinese?#i just think its internal racism at play#as for me what do i play in?#i play in english bc i dont have my head so far up my own ass to see that eng dubs have improved drastically over the years#that and i usually multitask so i just like to listen#but if i actually paid attention i'd be playing in chinese#'you look like someone that plays genshin in japanese (insult)'

i would like to pay my sincerest respect to the original japanese voice actor of shinji because rewatching the show without the dub i realize that this dude screams his ASS OFF like it legitimately hurts my throat to listen to it is so bad
#amazing work i hope your vocal chords are okay megumi ogata#he does in the english dubs too but the japanese one is so throaty and loud its honestly upsetting to listen to#nge#shinji ikari

no one suffers as much as a non-american whose parent REALLY got into some obscure usamerican documentary series that has 538537 seasons that only got a half-assed translation and never had a complete run on tv
because at one point that parent is gonna stand in front of you asking you to torrent the show BUT PLEASE only the full AND translated show (turns out your country was only broadcasting the first three seasons, and didn't bother dubbing OR subbing the other seasons) (there's 5 more seasons that she's now burning to watch but also refuses to because it's in english and i NEED to find her a translated one asap pls (it doesn't EXIST))
so you figure out that maybe it's just time to look for the first three seasons on official streaming platforms to keep her happy and of course they're not on them either so now she's pissed and i'm the unfortunate bystander lmfao
edit:// i just double checked and it has 15 SEASONS
#random#if i sound frustrated it's because she used to speak flawless english but stopped putting any effort into maintaining it the older she got#so now she's out of the loop in terms of slang and has trouble figuring out heavily accented speech or dialect#and instead of recognising that she'd get back into it if she only could sit down for an afternoon and listen to different english speakers#she'd rather insist on having the most convenient thing here which is#the show completely dubbed full stop#but it doesn't exist#and now she's stewing and i gotta deal with that all day long lmfao

Well, that was fun!!! The music was great, the animation was so colorful and fluid (but we been knew that from the trailers), and it's great hearing most of the original cast again. ❤️💕
#faye watches ranma 1/2#ranma 1/2#i listened to snippets of the english dub and from the little i heard it sounds solid#i'm gonna stick w the sub but if mom ever gets interested that's when i'll watch again in dub

Sakura Kiss English Lyrics
Was suddenly overcome by nostalgia and in a frenzy wrote my own english lyrics for Sakura Kiss (Ouran HSHC) just now while in the shower MFNSMND it was fun and I'm actually p proud of these... Sharing in case anyone wants to do a cover w these lyrics!!🥹 (pls credit and show me if u do🥺)
I also did a v quick recording (v out of breath😵💫) to show how the lyrics match up w the song 🫣 LMAO (i dropped my phone in the beginning KFJSJ)
EDIT: I did a new cover here! A bit less out of breath this time🤧
(raw text under cut)
Sakura Kiss
(milkbreadtoast ver)
KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE (HEY HEY HEY)
I've realized that all this time... you've always been right here with me
But is it hate, or like, or am I going crazy?
If i could look inside my heart
and see my feelings clear as day,
lady or host, it doesn't(/wouldn't) matter either way.
When love comes into our lives,
we dont always know why
but when i look in your eyes...
MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE
I want(/need) to see you now
so I can give you a cherry blossom kiss, and if your heartbeat skips then it's love you know!
Tomorrow's far away, let's focus on today
It's just you and me,
and this beautiful spring
is a flower's blooming hour of love!
(HEY HEY) MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE!
#ouran high school host club#sakura kiss#ouran hshc#ohshc#english lyrics#english cover#anime cover#lyrics#my lyrics#writing en lyrics for anime songs has actually been a lowkey hobby of mine for yrs lol#im p proud of these tho they work p well w the song and keep the gist of the og jp#and its fun to make the lines rhyme...

This is your daily reminder to download and pirate as much media as you can because companies don’t care about preservation and are more than happy to send pieces of media to the shadow realm (even shit that’s only available ON THEIR OWN PLATFORM).
#glitter force#magical girls#listen even if you’re one of those annoying cunts who act like english dubs killed your dog#i think you can agree that THIS isn’t okay

Just created an entire ass Meronia AU from listening to another Hazbin Hotel song like damn these bitches are like music muse CRACK wtf is happening to me rn
#death note#meronia#i have a problem#still not over the fact that adam is apparently the same guy that voiced english dub light yagami either tbh#they sound NOTHING alike except for in solo clips#hazbin hotel#i may or may bot expand on this#bees in my brain but i am also incredibly fucking busy rn you have no idea#maybe this is less of the songs and more of my brain trying to cope lnao#grim rants#also mildly based on one of my beyond headcanons bc that's what i used when originally listening to the song#and then i got PLOT ideas and oriented in DETAIL and now i have another whole ass AU#i want mello to yell at old men is that too much to ask without getting sucked into another story idea 😭😭😭

I did not understand Hidan girlies back in the day but I was a manga & dubbed Naruto watcher so I'm only just getting around to watching the subbed anime for the first time and by god Hidan's Japanese VA fucking ATE! INCREDIBLE performance!!! 10/10!!!
#this man is SO unhinged and the VA REALLY captures it!!#Pretty sure they cut back on swearing in the dub DEFINITELY the use of the R word if my memory serves. Man that is SOOOO dated 😭#giving me whiplash remembering the jerkoffs trying to bring it back. NO! >:( Leave that bullshit in the past where it BELONGS!#anways yeah big props to Hidan's Japanese VA during the Asuma dies arc 10/10 incredible I can't even be sad besides#feelings sad for the InoShikaCho trio because the Hidan and Kakuzu characters are so fun and their VAs are EATING#I mention Hidan but the Kakuzu guy is really good too so I KINDA get the Kakuzu girlies a LITTLE bit more than I used to#The English VAs for them are also good but the Japanese VAs are on a different plane of existence from the rest of us 👌👌👌#The animators for this arc ALSO popped the fuck off too and the intro and credit songs slap this is overall a really good arc#why dubbed only? Don't worry about it. (Undiagnosed adhd. HAD to listen while trying to do homework or else I had NO TIME)#naruto#hidan#akatsuki
