Dubs vs Subs

[Motenai_Ronin]

I used to like dubs, but now that I've seen Subs, they tend to annoy me.

The voice actors either don't really fit, or they mess up with translations or Pronounciations of the names are messed up or changed altogether, and it really sorta ruins it.

Still, the Dub of Ranma 1/2??makes me lol when I watch??Naruto.

Kuno's Ninja was also??named Sasuke
Pronounced??SAH-SOO-KAY in Ranma's English dub.

But overall I prefer the subs. American Voice actors don't really know how to yell and make it sound convincing =/

Ranma 1/2 is one of those rare series where I find the Dub equals the Japanese audio track, because I think they actually had good talent, (and for 7 seasons, 3 movies, several OVAs, and a buncha i-dun-know-whats, wow....)
the voice actors developed their characters a lot better than some common us-talent given a script and told to read to a mic.

I made it a point to watch Ranma in 3 languages (US dub, Japanese audio with subs, and Cantonese Audio - i'm chinese of cantonese origin - i'm glad to say Shampoo's off-mandarin accent is least noticeable in the 3rd)

Now i could sit here all day long and chatter to you about Ranma 1/2, but that's not what this thread is about.

In the stand of Dubs vs Sub, 99% of the time I have to give it to Subs. For reasons said above: censors are sheepish, us actors are less-talented, us voice delivery is comparatively deadpan, -in the case of ranma 1/2 shampoo's accent *shudder* but that's just a personal issue-

Subs.
