mdehnersan opinion no one who's read this or my other blogs over the last decade and a bit is surprised about;>! The reason is that after all that's happened in this yr I decided to give myself a present and subbed to a streaming service. Excellent library except all of it is dubbed!!!!
While there are many reasons for my dislike, two are most dominant and they are related.
Unfortunately, dubbing companies think that ALL Anime viewers are of the same demographic as those that watch Pokémon and such; middle schoolers and under. In Mature subject material(like the majority of Anime btw) this goes from annoying to downright CREEPY. Just picture ANY movie of adult theme and have them talk like a 7th grader....
The 2nd is related in that the companies want to be "relevant" and use the slang THEY THINK 7th graders are using when they're dubbing. This goes from amusing at the wrong time to just plain WRONG. A case in point is in a Horror Anime when the main character has decided to rescue a little girl from being eaten alive. The Japanese and subbed is "Let's do it". The dub? "Fukkn A!!!!". Both annoying and a bit inappropriate.....
On the + side, Chuck can watch with me IF I could get him interested;>!
Cheers,
Pat
