I grew up watching dubs. Cantonese dubs, but dubs nonetheless. I don't mind them. Actually I kinda like them. I love Japanese originals, of course, but I like my Cantonese dubs too, even though they use the same 5 voice actors for all the anime they had on TV XDDDDD And obviously they butchered the original a bit because manners of speech can't be translated exactly. But I like them. Thinking about it makes me a bit nostalgic.

I bet some of the people are complaining about it for fun, but I laugh at those moaning about badness of dubs and actually feel the need to have a discussion on the badness. I laugh for the obvious reasons (you don't have to watch if you don't want to; you've got ones with subs; at least dubs make it available to more people who may eventually discover more about anime, etc etc). These people are so amusing. Didn't a lot of them discover Gundam Wing (and anime) when they first showed it on American TV or something? I'm pretty sure dubbed Pokemon and Digimon brought some people into anime too.

These people are just too funny XDDDD

no matter how much you want him to the guy dubbing aya will never say "shi-ne Takatori".

......I think I would totally be like "I reeeeeally want to know how that'd sound like but I also reeeeeally don't want to hear it." XD

judging by how they mispronounced everything else japanese it would be "shine" not shi ne.

for which i get the most amazing image of a sparkly takatori
i do like that dub though, it's wonderfully bad.
If I'm watching to have something on, I'll have the dub, if I'm fact checking for a fiction it will be subbed.
