How do you watch Japanese anime ?
Original? or dubbed? with sub?
from my viewpoint,Japanese,I wonder it.

>> No.10431881

>>10431877
You should ask that on /a/, but for me, when the anime is like about girls in high school life, I watch it with no subs (like Azumanga Daioh and Hidamari Sketch). When it's something like jojo and ghost in the shell, subs.

>> No.10431882

Japanese voice acting, subtitled.

Dubs never seem to be as good as the original, and besides, english isn't even my first language to begin with.

I'm not good enough at japanese to watch without subtitles yet, but I'm working on it.

>> No.10431887

>>10431882

the original VA is not good either, you just don't know what spoken japanese is like so it sounds ok to you

the only recent show which had substantial money spent on VAs was kokoro connect

I study japanese at the university, I'm pretty sure I have a general idea of what japanese sounds like.

The main difference between normal japanese and VA's seems to be the use of intonation.

Either way, even in cases where the japanese voices aren't great, they're generally worse in english. And besides that, the languages express various emotions differently, and a lot of nuance is lost in the translation, even when the quality is comparable. As a result, even if the VA's were better in english, I'd still take them in japanese.

Eng dub voice actresses always sound horrible (Especially Christina Vee) with the exception of Wendy Lee and Stephanie Sheh so Japanese but really new seiyuu in Japan are getting worse and worse as well (That girl who played Madoka sounds horrible but she is so popular)

I hope that Japanese friend isn't also visually impaired because their font choice is pretty bad.

Also: it seems some shows have a track for traditional and some for simplified but not all of them do. This one only has simplified+Japanese but the torrent swarm was mostly Taiwanese and Hong Kong

I just thought adding Japanese was an odd quirk. I wonder if English subbers have done it at some point.
