With all this hubub going on the past few weeks, I haven't been able to watch my animu. So I have about 8 episodes to catch up on.
I'm still waiting for Black Lagoon s3, Sam :p.

I'm 10 eps into Soul Eater and Maka is like the most adorable thing in the world.
I need to get into Soul Eater, and it's only 50 episodes. I saw clips of the dub and it sounds good, but I'm tired of hearing Laura Bailey.
I have the subs, and actually the subs are also on Netflix.

Netflix has had a hella strong anime game as it stands currently. They even have Kill La Kill on there.

imo as far as Soul Eater goes, the subs are above and beyond the dubs. Which is usually my opinion, but this is one of those cases where it's just super above the dub
Idk, I just find it hilarious when people try to argue over voice acting quality when they don't understand Japanese, especially when I see them criticizing points that the Japanese casting is just as guilty of, and various other similar things. Especially when I also discover that many people don't actually pay attention to the voices.

It gets to a point of being pathetic when they'll write essays on each and every actor on the English dub being terrible down to their breathing, and then they can't tell you a damn thing about the Japanese voices. It comes off like Japanese is a novelty for them.
idk, I usually just prefer the japanese voices over the american voices. Dunno why, but a lot of times I find the American voices really... annoying, especially if I feel like it doesn't suit the character or their demeanor. Goes the same way vice versa though, there's a couple shows I'd rather watch dub'd

actually Disgaea is probably the most recent thing I like the english better in, really don't like how the Japanese VA does Mao. American VA did it much better, where he kinda slips in and out of the insanity
Idk, some people think the English voices sound "cartoony" and cheesy, but they don't realize that the Japanese va's also sound cartoony cheesy in Japanese.

It's kind of a blissful ignorance when you don't understand the language, as you don't pick up on the little nuances from the language, especially when there's times where subs don't/can't translate some of the different speech styles, so the dub will compensate that with changing the tone of the voices. Like subs can't translate snooty bitches in Japanese correctly.

Also I do find it kind of sad when I see a complaint over an English voice sounding too old, and then you see the Japanese voice and it sounds EVEN OLDER, and not a single fuck is given.
Yeah. I'll be the first to admit that I know effectively zero of the language. But I think a lot of mine just comes from how it feels, cartoony or otherwise. idk, I think I just set in my head how a character should feel, or how their voice should.. react? maybe? or intonate? based on their personality, demeanor, actions... whatever. It's pretty dumb admittedly, but that's how I always choose whether to watch it in sub or dub (if it's available)

I don't get people complaining about either, although some can be really bad
I usually check both to see which one I like better, lately I've been giving dubs more chances. I was worried about the Haganai dub, as it had one of my favorite VA's in there, but almost all of the dubbed voices were good, but the character Maria. Kind of like how Upotte had everything right, except Funko, but luckily the fuckup character in Haganai wasn't a lead. Imo Funimation tends to do a good job, as I can't think of any of theirs I hated. Sentai Filmworks on the other hand... theirs tend to be sketchy and of various quality.
I dunno man they totally fucked Revy in the dub, completely betrayed her character with that voice. I'm still relatively new to the game so I don't know much about studios yet, so I can't comment much

And yeah that's what I meant, I'll check both to see, give a few eps a chance, and go from there
