The dub is pretty good actually.HeavyMetal wrote:If the dub is good then I watch it. I've seen a few I like better in English.
However I will take subtitles over a horrid dub job any day.
Ever try to watch the dub of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?
Talk about a flat untimed piss poor dub. But with subtitles it was awesome.
The scene in the show was just a comic relief, not relavent to the plot in any way. The script writer and voice director probably thought people would find the scene more funny if they changed it a bit, to suit the comedic tastes of the majority of western civilization. But if you don't like it, you don't like it. No one is forcing you to laugh at it.HeartbreakerByZep wrote:

Certainly one of the best "Chinese" dubs I've heard, although the Jet Li ones are damn funny :¬ D
I'm bored and you're dumb. A match made in heaven.

It just happens that your example showed me how much I dislike Saiyuki's dub. It doesn't matter if it has to do with the plot or not, vulgarizing a shows content is still vulgarizing it. Directors and script writers vulgarize things way to much, it's extremely annoying. If some people decide to do that, it's not so bad, but its done so much. Is there nothing to be said for keeping content accurate? Not everything is for the masses.
Look at all my trials and tribulations

Sub a Dub Dub
The english dub of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon had no emotion.
The action picks up and the voice over just talks faster. aaaahhhh!!
They voice over stunk. The Chinese version had....what was it...oh yeah acting.
I'll take sub over that.
Of course the problem with anime dubs usually comes in during a company change. Take DBZ Pioneer passed it to Funiamtion. So Goku arrives on Namek with new powers and an entirely different voice cast.
This doesn't seem to happen as much anymore.
