Yeah. Either info isn't coming out fast enough or the info that comes out is disagreed with... blah blah blah. And they justify all the whining by saying "Well, we're paying customers! So there!" WHAT ARE THEY PAYING FOR!? THE GAME ISN'T EVEN OUT YET!! lolQuote:

02-08-2013, 03:30 AMZakarnRosewoodThat is a much better way to defend yourself. I would have to agree, the line does get blurry. Its all about presentation and they way you phrase your comment. I may have come off as catty, for that I apologize.Quote:

I just wanted to throw in my 20 cents about that word, XD -
02-08-2013, 03:33 AMVilhemIts in every fandom, I agree. Lately I've been browsing Sailor Moon forums (yes I like it so what >_>), and the topics have been "OMG THEY MISTRANSLATED A WORD, OMG [INSERT WEEABO COMMENT ABOUT HOW THE COMPANIES GOT IT WRONG AND HOW THE SCANLATORS ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT] OMG THE COMPANIES ARE JUST OUT TO FATTEN THEIR WALLETS LETS BOYCOTT THEIR SHITTY TRANSLATIONS" yet they don't speak a lick of Japanese to know how good or bad a translation is....and of course, everyone's favorite topic around here...how everyone seems to think they know how to do something better than the companies xDQuote:

Apologies for the derail >_> -

Forget the translations.... get the voice actors to JP voice acting school or something to get better voice acting...
I'm on Netflix going oh cool ANIME!! click.... holy s*** what the hell is up with this English voice selection!?!?!?!?, next anime... click... what the... familiar voice.... ok next... click.... what the same person again!?!? I don't mind watching anime in English but they need to put more feelings into their acting... it's so lifeless in most of the animes I tried to check out in English so far... Movie animes aren't that bad, those I can watch.
Back to meme's!! -

I havent watched every episode so I'm sure there are bad dubs in there but Goku alone made me like it over the original language - dubs in general of any language are bad, its not like there are not good English (or any other language) voice actors its just they dont put the money into getting them.

Anyway, back on the subject of memes...

That being said, there ARE some good dubs out there, but the expectations of weeabos make it so these never have a chance. "Whaatt?! How dare they make x character sound like this!!!" There is no possible way they can match the original Japanese voice actors.
"English doesn't capture the essence of the characters the way the Japanese does!" English dubs are adaptations, not literal word for word translations. Changes are bound to happen, sometimes for the better (see Cowboy Bebop).
"I prefer to watch it as it was originally intended to be experienced!" This is possibly the one that's full of crock the most. Weeabos can't experience the "original" because they aren't fluent enough in Japanese..and once you add subtitles, it becomes an adaptation. And it was especially funny to hear them throw this around when Tenchi Muyo was popular, since..y'know... Tenchi was recorded in English first, THEN into Japanese. Omg!! Originals!!!
But anyway, enough of my disgruntled rants on the weeabo community lol. Carry on >.>/ -

Oh Cowboy bebop!
And /signed to that (Vilhelm), I listen to whichever one I like the sound of more - and will have subtitles on either way because of my Wife or me lol
Also Skye's one week till legacy thing made me think of the hitler meme's lol - him screaming he missed Legacy by one week XD
