I think he meant GITS.

In other words Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. It is a masterful dub.

I disagree with the last part, though it is partially true.

Why did you bring that up though?

Because of what I said about the Madoka dub?

I saw the trailer, and that particular dub does suck.

Its the whole all dubs are bad argument that some people bring up. I think dubs are overly criticized for a few reasons.

1. We tend to watched the subbed version first because that is what is first available, so when we compare it to the dub version, we become biased toward the sub because we heard it first. The opposite is true to for when we hear the dub first for some anime.

2. Very very few of us have a grasp on the japanese language so its hard to tell if someone is bad for a role voice wise. However nearly all of us here know English quite well so we are able to better judge good dub roles from the bad.

Combinations of both of these points fuel our own biases toward dub vs sub.

oh yeah, i agree with that too, theres a lot of anime out there whose dubs are really well done

That bias thing doesn't really happen with me.

I watched Cowboy Bebop, SAC and Baccano with subs the first time and rewatched them with the english dubs, I prefer the dubs.

by Guest Sat Feb 11, 2012 6:36 am

I never said it applied to a particular person, those are just my general thoughts based on conversations I've had with others in the faction, and on other sites.

The same thing happened with me on Baccano. Watched the sub first, then the dub. dub was better. I can't say the same for durarara.

I liked the dubs for DRRR, but I watched it on AS.

It was okay but its bad when you compare it to the baccano dub. I wish that Funi had managed to get Durarara for continuity purposes.

I do, then sometimes I watch it again in a language I actually understand and if it's done well I might enjoy the show more.
