^Proof that ADV doesn't screw up EVERYTHING^*inverse* wrote:I really love it when dubs can make you laugh more than the original - such as Slayers, Orphen, Soul Hunter (Houshin Engi), Ranma 1/2, etc - Emotion is definetly a key factor as well.
I personally like subs, but I hardly ever watch them...
Angel, your observations are nothing short of "interesting" and possibly even "intriging".
Personally, I think as long as a dub has at least some emotion, and characters portrayed as being low on emotion (such as Genou from Eva) should be that way.
And personally, I found the dub for RahXephon pretty good. ADV gets trashed a lot, but they have done some good things, take that into account.
Pioneer tries to do what you were talking about (get VAs that sound like the originals, ex: Trigun. Also, trying to keep the lines as close as possible to the original... To companies that DON'T try to do this... I ask this.... WHY?!?! Is it REALLY that hard?)
