    I can’t take dubs seriously. It’s like every character has to talk like Sonic the Hedgehog.

      Those are just poor dubs

      A good dub you wouldn’t know that it was dubed unless you stared at the character’s lips and tried to see where it didn’t line up

        Huh? Japanese dubs tend to be worse at lipsync than english dubs

          I don’t see your point

          The only way you can tell if something is dubbed is because the lips do not line up with the words.

          Well and as long as the dubbed voice doesn’t sound completely comical or unnatural, the only way to tell it’s dubbed is by watching the lips

        dubs are a great way to make any semi serious show sound like a cartoon for little kids. Which i realize is exactly what anime is, but subs help to obfuscate that fact.

      Some are definitely bad, and also you hear the same voices over and over again haha. But a lot of them are genuinely great!

      The are a LOT of good examples, but for some reason the one that comes immediately to mind is Mushishi. Check it out!
