I think it’s less about being on multiple show and more about being the exact same voice. It’s like seeing The Rock vs seeing Gary Oldman. The Rock has some good movies but it’s kinda hard to tell his roles apart sometimes. Gary Oldman has variety with unique performances for his roles.

I know it’s not always easy to change your voice but the 2 guys didn’t even sound like they were trying to sound like different characters.

Sometimes i pick up an anime because of va alone, or i pick a random one and recognize entire cast, but that only goes for japanese voices

I know right

I do too, I also like finding out that characters I like share a voice actor with another character I enjoy. Like Ken Ichijouji and Uryu Ishida sharing the same dubbed voice actor, although it was more funny than cool. Oddly enough I never looked into who voiced my favorite Digimon and it turned out that Dukemon shared the same voice actor as Goku, not dubbed this time. It's neat when characters who are and aren't really similar have something tying them together.

i never thought of it like that

Dorsnt help they sound often so over the top for me i dont like it

I agree, I have heard genuinely good voice acting in english anime games, but anime almost never matches up to that quality, while the japanese VAs always give a top tier performance no matter what

disagree. i think english VAs carry more emotion but thats just me I GUESS

The restrictions on the translation and lip sync is probably a pain to work around, so it's probably why they over emote or under-emote. Idk I'm not a voice actor, but I still cringe when remember 'MokoW-na' from Magic Knights Rayearth and 'Khehn-shun' from Samurai X lol. Old animes but it turned me off of dubs forever.

If you were fluent in JP, you'd find the dubs to be just as cringey as EN dubs. That's why so many recent splice of life stories have the "you sound like a manga character" joke. Besides, there are plenty of cases where the dub, be it as a whole or for particular scenes, are carried harder in the dubs than subs.

That's because their Japanese different languages have different intensities when speaking. You could get every language to yell their hearts out some will sound amazing and some will sound trash. Japanese people just naturally sound more intense than English giving the illusion of better acting.

@@liamoshea6713 and anime tend to be very expressive, so Japanese voices complement it perfectly

@@ms.pirate I don't watch dub

I don't get whats to bad about it honestly. I don't get why it was so bad about Chris pratt as Garfield (not an anime, but an example). Japan casts the same people in their dubs, so why is English dub any different? Zach is pretty great as tanjiro. Aleks Le is pretty great and hilarious as zenitsu as well, he has a great acting and vocal range compared to when he was in the Yuffie DLC of Final fantasy 7 "remake". I didn't know ciel from black butler was voice by a woman (Brina Palencia) back then. She has great vocal range playing as a 13 year old boy. And Daman Mills, the English voice actor for lyney from genshin impact. He also voices Blade from honkai star rail, vocals were EXCALLENT! He can voice a 16 year old kid, to sounding like a deep and ruthless adult. People will never understand how better English dub is. They only care about bad Japanese voices

@@XunYunXiao i think they are not using their own studio, they already have the same voice actors and have a trailer with reanimated scenes they’ve also kept the art style and based on the drama they released I think the odds of having everything covered is good. If u look up trailer and chibi recap Knt you can see. I’m worried too but every art and animation (though a bit slower) they’ve released so far looks wonderful. Plus the manga is already perfectly ended so if it sucks I’ll survive haha. But even the bands and musicains responsible for the soundtrack and ost are confirmed back. It’s looking good. Plus season 2 was terribly choppy and poorly animated sometimes so it’s ok if Netflix fails too.

On the contrary, it bothers me when the voice and character don't match. We can all come up with a voice the moment we see a character, but I find that since English voice actors are more limited, they don't always get anywhere close to how that character 'should' sound, if you get my meaning.

@@fleetingimmersion Eh, I get this a lot with Japanese VA too. Persona 5, for example, a lot of the JP voice actors don't feel right in Japanese. What you're expecting a character to sound like doesn't match most people. Hell, most people don't match each other in general.

@@sarkaztik3228 I'm glad someone else said it, you usually just get the 'just likes Japanese language better cuz he's a weeb' comments if you speak up about this, but really, I think the comparative size of the JP and US voice actor pool could have a lot to do with it. If Japan has 100 times more actors/actresses, then they have more voices to search through to find one that 'sounds right'. Meanwhile, the US just uses Hollywood actors a lot of times, which work for some characters, but others feel shoehorned in by whomever is left.

​@@fleetingimmersionjajajaja exactly this. Going to diss Chris Pratt but his voice dubs are literally just his voice but with different personalities

@@fleetingimmersionI don’t think I’ve ever watched a dubbed anime that has a Hollywood star as a voice actor???

English societies have adopted this foolish idea that the VOICE actor needs to match character design. It's stupid and has lead to the problem of "big name" actors just playing themselves instead of getting into the character as written.

Its not only the training. If you listen carefully its all about money and how much the studio wants to pay. American cartoons like Justice league, awesome audio work and amazing voice work. When you go to anime eng dub, the sound quality isn't there and the voice acting sounds sub par like they aren't doing anything expressive in the booth just reading the sheet and thats it. The sound quality really doesn't sround right and the voice acting sounds like they are just standing inside the booth reading off a sheet like they aren't even moving their bodies to express what they are saying. Mark Hamill when asked to do Joker will move his hands and body to help excentuate his voice for the joker. Same with Japanese voice actors if you ever watch their public readings of their characters.

Well yeah, in Japan a huge part of being a voice actor is your physical appearance and even things like being able to dance, you know, super important things related to voice acting. Oh... you don't speak Japanese and realize that Japanese voice acting is, on average, worse than dub voice acting so you're saying that thinking you mean that english voice actors are worse...

Japanese voice actors get paid better (well, the ones at the bottom/middle do, at least)

I was wrong it’s 3 things. 3. Immersion. A big reason why Sub sounds/feels better is that you have no context as an non native speaker to hear the hokey dialogue. Instead you are engaged with the story simply going off of tonality to build the personality of the character that you are watching. When you listen in your native tongue, it sounds silly & that’s partly due to VA’s not being that good OR culturally “cartoons” aren’t taken as seriously in a dramatic format. Animation has usually been used for comedy or children’s entertainment.

Dude has a menacing voice for a silly single father with his son and daughter. But he voiced blonde afro with nose hair power, so I didn't even surprised.

I wish they did the same thing in the English dub

@@dragowolf268 Takehito Koyasu voiced Deadpool once

Absolutely, the levels are different. It also helps that hearing characters made in Japan speak the language of their home country just sounds better. I personally favor keeping shows in their original language, it just so happens that anime is Japanese.

@@CaliburovX4 Sometimes the english dub out does the Japanese dub. Examples like Street Fighter II TMP, Akira, Iria, Venus Wars, Dragonball Z, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing, etc. Talent level is what's important imo. I don't care what language they speak. A movie like Chico and Rita is a great example of mixing languages. They speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese throughout that animated film. They also sing as well.

@@dct124 That's true, but I think it's much rarer that you realize. I noticed there are a lot of older titles you listed, so I'm assuming those may have been shows/movies you watched growing up, which is fine, but I think it's worth considering you may have rose colored glasses when looking back at some of those shows/movies. If I'm wrong, fair enough. I won't deny that in some cases, having a dub in your language can enhance the experience of certain media, but personally, I think experiencing something in it's native language, whatever it may be, allows us to have a deeper connection to it. Language is one of the major ways we communicate culture, and changing that inevitably causes something to be lost that I would rather keep. And now that it's come out that, in the US at least, translators, localizers, and dub script writers have drastically edited and changed dialogue to suit their political agenda to the point that it can actually change the story, I have lost all trust when it comes to these people, so there's also that. In any case, I prefer stuff to be in it's original language. There are exceptions, but that's all they are, exceptions.

Hellsing dub goes hard because hearing all those European characters with their appropriate accents is pure serotonin

​@CaliburovX4 I can name a few modern anime with decent dubs. Goblin Slayer is one, the characters honestly sound exactly how you would expect them too if it were a western show. Though in my experience, the big thing with dubs is that even if they're not great, they always have one character that absolutely knocks it out if the park. Ultimately, I prefer Attack on Titan in Japanese, but I will take Erwin's dub voice over the original audio any day

Exactly, Isayama actually had a different vision for Eren but after hearing his performance in Season 1, he was so impressed that he scrapped that all and rewrote Eren's very character in the way we see now to fit Yuki's voice. Isayama that's why said that for him, Yuki Kaji is Eren Yaeger.

And then there’s Anya/Frieren voice actress, Tanezaku Atsuki.

but when you need to cast a normal Japanese guy that smoke everyday they call Kenjiro Tsuda

Plus he’s a super nice person

As much as I throw a chair whenever I hear his voice, there’s a reason a lot of my favourite characters are voiced by him, he genuinely has a good voice for it. He’s very talented at his craft, and even in cases where he voices two character in the same show (Nagito Komaeda and Makoto Naegi or Meliodas and Zeldris for example) I only find out they share a VA when looking at the credits or seeing it in posts. He’s got skill and heart, can’t deny that.

yeah but i still get sick of hearing him in every single new anime. i like him in demon slayer and jojos though because you can hardly tell it's him at all

and for those who haven't been enlightened yet, yeah bryce plays caesar in part two

​@justakidicarus1191 I tried liking dubbed anime, but I definitely prefer the original voices and how incredible the Japanese voice actors are. I do appreciate the work that the dub actors put in though!

Fr. It's about the passion the Japanese have vs the absolute lack thereof the English VAs have. I've NEVER heard someone say "oh yeah, I don't like 7DS dubbed because it's VA for Meliodas is the same as Eren Jaeger. As a matter of fact, that voice actor is one of the few tolerable English voice actors I know of and I wish he was in every anime dub because he is so passionate.

​@@cinemaphar It seems to be specifically in western anime audiences, where there's a lot of self-loathing weebs. Weebs in this context is very derogatory btw

They do, the biggest example of this is King of the Hill. It's popular in Japan and it's a common take that it just doesn't sound right if it's not in English.

I don't think so. Because i never seen any vtuber or streamer play games with other language than japanese (specially anime games) only played with other language if there's no japanese in it. Because 英語 Is くそだ! Do you know how to feel when you need to learn "international language"?

No it’s not really like that because your not seeing the actor or anything. If you subconsciously knew that was the same person in every single anime you watched in the same genre then you would find it repetitive and boring. Where voice actors you don’t really remember unless you really enjoyed the show and that lends themselves to preventing being seen as repetitive

The difference is that English voice actors tend to do the same 3 voices across 50 different characters.

Might be because it's easier to hear it in your native language

@@dylannoonan640 This is exactly right. We don't understand what the Japanese voice actors are saying, so most of their words and the way they pronounce words go right over our heads. So its harder to pick up the voice pattern.

Well I bet u didnt know that inosuke's dub va was the same as eren's cause me and a lot my friends didnt

That really depends on the actor, cause some of them use very similar voices on different but similar characters.

Honestly this short feels like a strawman. A lot of the issues I see with dubs is that its corny and overplayed. There's also the issue of localization being a problem. Like dragon maid where lucoa goes on a rant about "the patriarchy" when thats flat out not even close to the original. Or when nagatoro tells senpai he's "so sussy". Its things like this that make people hate dubs, not necessarily the same VAs over and over. But actual issues that have well documented complaints about

I'm that guy who also doesn't like how the dub VA pool is so small. I associate the dub quality with the voices, so hearing those VAs just adds tackiness.

my gripe is that it's just straight up a tiny group of meh VAs that got like 90% of all the animes through favoritism

Well localisations are needed, you cant really translate much of japanese work word for word because it struggles in that regard. Those two examples are terrible, the toro one less so since she does call him suspricious and sus has been a coliquial way of saying suspicious long before it became a meme, however its needed especially with a series that has comedy..​@@pancakes8816

I would say it's less due to preference than the emotion of voice actors. A Japanese voice actor could be dog shit but a non Japanese wouldn't really be able to tell. And also for example if you watched SpongeBob in English forever then you'd be more inclined to prefer the English than the Japanese dub.
