subbed VS dubbed

First topic message reminder :

well... i myself prefer watching anime subbed... and not dubbed...


sure ... it depends on the anime itself...
but yeah... sub ftw

off topic...

only slightly, was commenting on kiris comment ^^;;

but anyways I think you are always going to have translation issues from one language to the next since words can have multi meanings and of course each language has its own slang and translators like to put it in the languages slang to make it sound more realistic to their target audience

im not talking about origins though viperz...
im talking about pronunciation...
and their similarities between languages...

whee! I prefer subbed too o.o
if you on't understand what they're saying in the dubbed version, you have to keep playing it back and go "What did that guy say?" (that happened to me once^^) at least if it's subbed, you can read what they're saying^^

yeah...
and if its a big text ... or its too fast..
you can just stop ... read... and keep it playing again

I know, kiri^^
then everyone can understand the story of the series^^

yep...
also... for those that arent english... (when watching english dub)
can easily just stop it... and look it up in the dictionary...
did it quite often in the beginning XD
while when you dont understand... you might not even know what word is which and how it is written...

though yeah... it also happened to me often in german dub... that i simply didnt understand something

lol I was watching this anime dub and one guy there said "ship" I thought he said some word that ish almost same-sounding but has a very different meaning xDD

lol...
you mean sheet?

uhuh xD
I was like tf is he saying? xDD

Hmmmm...I guess I can understand that..but I've never had that problem yet XD

lol maybe you will xD
someday e.e *evil music plays* O.o

im pretty bad at listening comprehension... >.>
so meh....

*nods frantically* O.O meh too!

i often(mostly) dont even understand the whole lyrics of german songs x.x

whoa O.O at least you understand them partly xDD

lmao wow I thin that discussion would go to music and not this topic XP


and on that note listening and reading comprehension is my best topic

well... some just can be clearly ... >.>

Heh don't get me wrong I like subs too cause I'm into Japanese stuff but at times if I could choose I would pick dub just to hear it in my language so if anything..I shouldve voted "I don't care" XD

xD lol (face palm) well why didnt you vote that?

vote cancel is still enabled

Ack! Well I didn't think about it for the time being x.x ill change it in a sec

but do you know what???
i like dub more than original voices Ö_Ö
aka... (not anime) normal movies dubbed =O

Wow really? Those always depend for me
