French sci fi is usually pretty bad so it's good to hear that Mars Express nails it.

I think its cool how english discussions of anime dubs are all "i will loving KILL the voice actors, they are terrible and defiling this beautiful work of art from Nippon" and whenever you look at japanese people discussing them, its usually very polite even if their opinion is negative in regards to the english VAs.

I haven't noticed this in most places for years, outside of right-wing "anti-woke" online spaces. If anything it feels like the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction, where not preferring dubs is treated like some sort of unreasonable viewpoint.

yes, many of todays modern anime viewers are illiterate and are proud of that, and consider sub-watchers to be ableist

I know it's partly due to the fact that it's not the original audio source but the audio mixing on dubs always bothered me. The levels are not quite right and sound almost too loud sometimes more often than not imo.

The existence of any good English dub is as rare as the planets aligning with the Sun. English voice directors for some reason have no idea what they're doing unless it's a professional production because a big company like Disney localized a Ghibli film in the 90s. IMO the big factor in all of this is California. I blame Californians for sucking rear end and not caring that much about anything.

You got a diamond a year (if that) in a pool of poo poo but your pocky clogged brain forgot about the garbage that was coming out and only remembered the diamonds. Everything is always mostly bad, we just have far more anime and you haven't forgotten the recent bad poo poo yet.

I also like the dungeon meshi dub and I think the FFXIV dub is great, but it is actually rare for me to use dubs. my point is that people are too mean to western VAs though.

that's fair, I do think a lot of them working in the anime dubbing industry don't really coax out the best performances they can.

Wasn't 1998 also the year every single video game people remember came out.

That was a good year. It's been downhill since.
