Hey guys, haven't been here in ages. I think after 10 years since the switch, and now that the new voice actors have been on longer than the old ones, we know better than to repeat “dramatic” rhetoric between particular sides of the fandom…it’s time we talked realistically about anime dubs.
Why do dubs “suck”? Why do they have to suck, and why doesn’t anyone do anything about it? I don’t care who said what about so and so company or actor; you know what I mean folks, there’s no beating around the bush. I hear about so many people who just flat out refuse dubs and go subs only; isn’t it time that behavior was taken seriously in the dubbing industry? Really, is it so bad that so many of us demand high standards?
What has to change to make the environment more competitive, cost-effective, high quality, and not just a part-time, hard-*** job hunt for VA’s? What else needs to happen so that the creators of dubs can have meaningful communication with fans?
I agree with what everyone else here; I don’t want to see people crying about so called “flame wars”. Nobody is “right/wrong”. And for this to be followed by policing in the same old anticipatory fashion to avoid said “flame wars” would be a shame. Seriously, it’s time to talk about how we can have better dubs and maybe even do something about it, and find others who are also doing something for once.
Franchise owners, licensors, dubbers...get your friggin' act together. Don't do business like last century. Alright. There, I've said my piece.
