Oh yeah, i love greed island. It being an arc certainly keeps the novelty of the other world’s mechanics from getting old.

To make it work as a full series you gotta have a lot more substance though, because at some point that novelty will inevitably run out. And now instead of “exciting new world where everything is different”, it’s just a regular world we’re already used to. At that point you gotta have an actual compelling story to keep it going.

I still like the concept, it’s just that 90% of the stuff that uses said concept is terrible. I mean, Isekai is only an initial premise, you need A LOT more to make a good anime.

I don’t get why some people think subs are so much better.

It’s not necessarily better, but it’s closer to the original material. Dubs often change various things in order to adapt it to their language, these changes are sometimes good, sometimes bad. Sure the translations are not perfect either, but they’re not limited by lip-syncing and therefore tend to be more accurate.

For example:

Say a character makes a pun that only works in japanese;

Even a very good dub, will have to replace this pun with something else that fits the lip-syncing and makes sense in their language.

But a sub can keep the original joke and have a little asterix at the corner explaining that word A and word B look similar in japanese or something like that.

Plus, those of us who don’t have english as their first language are often already used to subs, since not as many things are dubbed in our language, and when they are, it’s usually terrible.

That said, use whatever works best for you.
