memories. english audio ?

[J-0080]

wouldnt it makes sence to make a dub for the most spoken language on earth ?

You want a Mandarin dub?

Maybe he ment the most widely spoken language, as mandarin is confined to pretty much just China.

That's not what the couple of thousand chinese-born students at my university say

Sometimes the English dub can even surpass that of the original Japanese version. Case in point, Yu Yu Hakusho, which in my opinion is one of the best dubbing jobs ever done on a series. Onegai Teacher is another example of a REALLY superb dub. Battle Athletes, Cowboy Bebop, Angelic Layer (not including the guy who does Eechan's voice), Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc, etc. And then of course you have exceeding BAD dubs like Hellsing, Kiddy Grade, Cardcaptor Sakura (minus the second movie).

To try and generalize it all and say that ALL are better than the others is just a failing stab at trying to "fuck the norm" and "be different". Free cl00, liking something Japanese doesn't make you "different", "unique", "interesting", "cultured" or any other ego stroking adjective. It just means you're an philistine for having no discriminating taste.

Not to be egocentric but I think that was somewhat directed to me.
Now I'm sorry if I hurt people feeling over here, jesus, some are too freaking serious sometimes. Most dubs butcher the original, yeah I said most and it's not only the language but the anime itself. You don't get what the artist was trying to create originally because as we all know the US is more "conservative" one could say than other countries. So not all is allowed.
Take CCS, by the time it got here it was a cartoon, in the original Tomoyo is in love with Sakura. Guess I'm a purist, I want to see what I was meant to not some diluted version of it. That said I do like some English dubs, not because they're good but because they're funny. Like Usagi's valley girl speak or Kero's surfer dude "accent".
For the record I have the "dubs suck" belief for everything not just anime so all movies and films apply.

Did you by any chance watch all of your anime on network TV?

[Castor Troy]

That's why I was skeptical about getting Memories since I already have an HK and R2 of it...

I wasn't referring to any specific person, just those who matched the criteria I gave, if you think you do, well, that's on you.

You're confusing "crap shown on Cartoon Network" with "dubbed anime", they are in fact two entirely different beasts. "Crap shown on Cartoon Network" is "dubbed anime" which has then also been edited for content. Usually mild stuff like language, blood and sexual content (like Yu Yu Hakusho, Tenchi, DBZ, etc).

The unedited Tenchi dubs for example are absolutely NOTHING like the "crap shown on Cartoon Network".

And trying to use CCS is a pretty lame pull seeing as how it's pretty much the quintessential "how NOT to do a dub". I can't even think of ANY anime series that was butchered up in that way, but then I believe it's the ONLY anime series that Nelvana ever licensed.

Also Armitage III: Poly Matrix was, in my opinion, really well dubbed.

[Kajino Rei]

I don't watch CN... for years now.
Whatever, don't care to explain my POV anymore.

Yes, but it's not a stupid reason as it seems some people like dubs. *shruggs*
But really isn't Memories great just the way it is?
Or you didn't like it at all?
