Anime Fansub


As a kid I remember watching G-Force (Gacha Man in Japanese) back in the UK which was dubbed into English - wouldn't have been able to understand it otherwise.
Macross - do you remember love was the movie that really got me into anime which was a VHS that I got from China town in London dubbed into Cantonese.
I started to get more and more into anime and got myself many dubbed anime titles that were released at the time in the UK by Manga Entertainment - titles like Fist Of The North Star, Project A-Ko, Akira and a few others.
I wanted to know more about Manga Entertainment and future anime releases so I approached them and ended up meeting with the CEO. At the end of the meeting, he asked me whether I would like to write for their anime fan magazine. He said that we would send me pre-release videos and some other ones that they were considering for the UK market. T'was a tough choice but I accepted ^^;
Pre-release meant that the videos were raw-unsubbed. I was learning Japanese at the time and the new opportunity was further encouragement for me to keep focused on learning Japanese - You can read my original goal and reasons for learning Japanese in this article.
Ever since then I made a point of watching raw-unsubbed with a dictionary next to me to look up new words - the purchase of an electronic dictionary helped immensely.

dubbed stuff just sounds terrible imho, same with films, i just cant stand them because they always tend to dub them with really silly english/american voices that sound like they belong on cartoon characters :P

I completely agree with you. Like I watched FMA and I loved it and then I saw it on Adult Swim and the Dubs weren't that bad but it wasn't close to the original. Also with Lucky Star I watched it and then I saw a dubbed version and I turned it off within 1 min. Long story short Sub > Dub

there are few Dubs out there that are REALLY good (actually, I started watching Samurai Champloo b/c the English dub wasn't bad, although I still watched it RAW).
as well, it's hard to translate Japanese jokes if they are dub, b/c it would become some kind of lame joke here...
SO I watch them straight RAW. When I can't find them RAW, I don't mind subs (although I get pissed when they sub it wrong...)

The only good dub that I've stumbled upon is the person who did the english VA for Kratos Aurion in Tales of Symphonia and Luke Fon Fabre in Tales of the Abyss. Other than that, either the VA doesn't put in any emotions for the character at all or its just off totally.
So unless I hear from someone that the VAs is actually good, I won't bother watching or play the game in english =__=!

True true. But I guess because Yuri (that's VA's first name) is a veteran when it comes to voice acting.
Other than that, some companies ARE trying to be geared towards more "Professional Voice Acting" but isn't usually enough for most people. There are exceptions to this such as ToS, ToA, and of course the best game dub I've found so far, Persona 3 (both an epic game with excellent voice acting minus 2 or 3 people).
Anyways, be glad the CEO of the company from the game your buying doesn't cheap out on voice acting like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAtC1SzWSXg
Mind you THIS IS the actual dub. Only because the stupid CEO of this company used his family and friends for this -.-''. I puked blood after watching this. Is one of them gay?!

I prefer to watch them subbed, that way I get the benefit of the diverse Japanese voice actors.
Here in the States you get to know the few voice actors the distributors have and gets hard to dissociate them from there most memorable performances and characters!
The "Anime" is truly a Japanese phenomenon and to enjoyed should be consumed in it's purest form. Ala Japanese with Subs.

I like Anime aswell, I prefer to watch it in Japanese with Sub due to the fact that I know no Japanese. Dubs tend to change the characters from the previous due to the accent and voice.
For End of Evangelion Dub was okay-ish, the Japanese subs was the worst. It was literally the english script... ¬_¬

If I had the time, I would watch it subbed, but I don't. I commonly watch anime while doing other things, ( not looking at the screen 100% ) so lately I've been getting dubbed.

I'm a die-hard sub-only fan, so subbed for me. Hell, half the time I don't even use the subs. I always hear people say that learning Japanese through anime is a horrible way due to slang, but combined with the proper learning materials and study guides, I feel it's a wonderful way to learn colloquial Japanese.

never watch any more dub anime.
Actually watching dub make me hate that anime, because the dub voices are SOooo bad.
voice actresses/actor in Japan are just way way way superior those in English and Chinese (the only dub I ever saw).
most of my anime is sub, some raw only when the story is not complex as death note. but eventually will left of the sub.

Wow. Lots of dub haters. ^_^
Not trying to rock the boat. To each their own I always say.
as for myself, it depends on the series. There are some shows I prefer dubbed over subbed (Bebop being one of them, Ghost Stories another [I refuse to play the Sub on that one]) and vice versa (YUA for example).
After having spoken to several American VAs at conventions, I've grown to appreciate what they do. I've come to the understanding that they're not trying to emulate the Japanese VAs word for word/ emotion for emotion rather they try to make the character their own.
It's not to say though that all dubs are amazing pieces of work. Gods no!
But I could never consider myself a hardcore Dub or Sub fan

I'm the same as your. There are some really good english dubs out there. Bebop is defiantly one of the best. There are some rather rancid ones too. I'm sure they could say the same about the Japanese VAs too. I'm sure we wouldn't notice a bad performance since we are not used to hearing the Japanese language.

OMG, didn't know they actually dubbed Hare Hare Yukai :S (what a blasphemy, okay, that's the Haruhi-fanboy talking) It sounded so horrible I just stopped in the middle.
Hare Hare Yukai original, definitely.
Same goes for everything else, I just refuse to watch dubbed anime ;p. Mainly because I've heard some very bad dubs before. It sounds much too American... I just buy the American dvds because they have english subtitles.
My opinion is that the original is still the best because that's the way it was meant to be made.

I never watch fansubs, prefer to actually buy official region 2 dvds. When I watch my anime dvds I usually turn off the subs & dub audio and play it in its original japanese 2.0 dolby format. The original japanese voice acting talent is Always superior plus there are certain things in the japanese language you just cant imitate in english.

For me it's somewhat split. I watch a fair bit of subbed anime, but I prefer dubbed if it's actually good enough quality. I've watched Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Mars Daybreak and many other fairly major ones in their dubbed versions and they were actually quite good. I will admit though that there is a fair number of bad dubs. namely everything that actually makes it on TV. I notice that 4Kids -always- sucks, while ADV is almost bearable and Geneon is usually good enough for viewing or sometimes even as good as the original. I think if I was more fluent in Japanese I would likely watch more RAWs though...mostly from being too impatient to wait for it to be subbed or dubbed. ;)

Better original, please. But not only anime, also in movies or games, I think you enjoy more of them if you have the original audio, japanese, english, no matter what.
In general, here the dubbed anime and games is horrible. The voices usually don`t suit with characters, or the pronounciation is awful.

Don't get me started... I have yet to hear good anime dubs. I have nothing against it if the voice acting was good, but they're not. Now I know that some of the japanese counterparts are no better, but at least I don't understand what they are saying.
And currently, it seems that the anime dubbing industry has some sort of impression of what sounds good for anime voice overs, and are constantly using the same types of terrible voices for mainstream anime. Naruto, Pokemon, Dragonball Z, Inuyasha, they all have the same gratingly terrible and annoying voices!

Oh, don't mention the Pokémon dub... D= After one or two eps of the dub, I immediately went off searching for a sub. The character names don't fit them, the voices are awful, and the songs phail. Japanese Pocket Monsters FTW!

Well, I liked them both; the English dub didn't sound half bad, and it just flowed.
It's really important, especially regarding songs like this, that the lyrics don't sound awkward.
In general, I prefer the original, though, so that makes me part of the majority, according to the poll.
The anime we get here in The Netherlands these days is horribly dubbed. Compared to the US, the US has an ample supply of voice actors, as to here we don't have jack.
Sailor Moon sounds like Misty from Pokémon, just because they share the same VA, who is unable to act with her voice alone.
I saw a sample of a Dutch dubbed Bobobobobo the other day, and while I'm happy that we are getting more anime on Dutch TV, the acting downright sucks.
A pity, really, as there is so much available.
We had properly dubbed anime, by the way; when I was young, I watched Nils no Fushigi na Tabi, Spoon Baa-chan, Alps no Shoujo Heidi, Candy Candy and many more; properly dubbed, and on prime time TV. But that was over 25 years ago, the times, they are changing.

English dub for sure. It's more enjoyable that way for me and I do think there are quite a few good performances. Since buy the dvd for almost everything I watch, I do go back and watch the Japanese dub as well. Most of the time I connect better with the English dub than the listening to anime dubbed in Japanese.

Okay, two things. One, songs never sound good when they are translated from english into something else or vise versa. They just sound like a bastardization without harmony. Second, even though I prefer the original Japanese with subtitles, there are a lot of good dubs out there. I grew up watching anime dubbed, so I cant complain about it. Everyone has their preferences, and Im tired of people that watch it in the original Japanese with subtitles making such a big deal about it. If you want to impress someone, watch it WITHOUT subtitles in Japanese! Maybe you will learn something then. (the nice thing about subtitles is they usually explain what a japanese word means if it pops up). Have a nice day!

I grew up watching anime raw, without subtitles, and relying on my step-mother to provide translation (which she wasn't inclined to do). I only had significant experience seeing English dubs later.
Most dubs are terrible, but the simple fact is that Japanese dialogue delivery generally doesn't convert well to English. It doesn't help that most companies doing the dubbing do a really, really awful job of it. Sometimes it's the actors, sometimes it's the scripters, sometimes it's the directors, and sometimes it's the executives.
In my opinion, the Disney dub of Kiki's Delivery Service would have been excellent if executives hadn't decided to unnecessarily add music to intentionally-silent scenes and completely miscast one character because they felt it needed a different type of delivery.
Gundam Wing is a good example of an English dub that's not too far behind the Japanese... but mainly because the Japanese delivery was pretty lackluster by industry standards. It certainly stands head and shoulders above most other English dubs, though.
My friends occasionally tell me "Don't worry, this dub is actually pretty good." They're usually very, very wrong.
I've stopped watching dubs completely. My Japanese isn't good enough to forgo subtitles, though, which raises another issue for me: Most commercial subs are also not that great. Even the few I can think of that impressed me almost all have moments that made me see red when I noticed unnecessary changes or mistranslation.
And so I mostly stick to fansubs. Sure, they generally aren't any better than the commercial subs, but they frequently are (at the very least, the care and love for the original work shines through)... and I have much higher standards for items I pay money for.

...and let me just add that the Hare Hare Yukai dub you presented is pretty terrible.
It's really the only time that I've felt the vocals matched the characters, but the technical quality in every single aspect (singing, mixing, mastering) is AWFUL.
There are some talented, committed people working in the American anime import industry. Sadly, they are in the minority.

I had to stopped the dubbed song of Hare Hare Yukai. It sounded worse than nails on a chalkboard. So unharmonized.
But no, I personally prefer RAW with subtitles with only a few exceptions of the English dubbed anime. There are good ones but then there are the ones that can't match the scene or just plain sound annoying. coughcoughNarutocoughcough
But the one thing I like about the RAWs is that it helps me with my self teaching of Japanese. Though it's not a great way of learning, it's a bit of a start. I usually learn the simple words or phrases and sometimes I try and catch them when I'm not looking at the subtitles.

Subtitles all the way as I enjoy the intonations of the Japanese voice actors. Also, a great way to passively pick up some syntax and key words like: demo, onegai, nani which are used alot; of course not enough for me to know the language, but fun nonetheless.

Raw Japanese with subtitles all the way. Its not that I have anything against English but I can't stand English dubs because most of the series I tried to watch in English I noticed that the voices needed some more character to it, the actors don't quite represent what the characters are feeling, the only dubbed anime I prefer over raw Japanese is the Street Fighter II animation movie. Of course there are many countries which do very good dubs, for example I love Spanish dubs, I watched loads of Spanish anime dubs and they're really good although a bit dirty swearing all over the place like in Tenjo Tenge and Full Metal Alchemist. Portuguese are not bad but could be better, I especially like when our dubbers put the characters saying funny things that only "we" (Portuguese) understand.

I prefer my anime raw or subbed. Some dubs are alright, but most are unacceptable. Aegisub is actually pretty easy to use and pretty much a defacto standard tool for subbing. That and using aftereffects. Fansubbing is actually pretty fun :).

Oh wow, Hare Hare Yukai sounds terrible on dub. I could've done without hearing it like that, though I'm sure there are some people who like it more that way.

初めてアニメを見たりの時、だいたい英語ダビ版を見た。
自分のパソコンとインテネトをありますで、それから、ファンサブを見ます。今ファンサブも見ますけど、ロー(raws)に転換している ^^;
I started off with english dubs as they were the only thing available then.
After I got my own PC and internet connection, it was fansubs. I still watch fansubs but I'm switching over to raws.

Raw Japanese with sub will do for me!
Danny wat u experience back in England those day was like i experience before!
I used to only watch dupped anime when i was still a kid, remember watching Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakushou, Eva and Ranma in Cantonese.
Then later the demand of watching anime began to rise and i just cant wait for them to dub it so i began watching anime with sub since i dunno japanese.
Only then i notice that the quality of the japan anime. Those dub version has lousy voice over, u can get to hear the same person taking over multiple character voice and almost every anime in Cantonese u get to hear their voice.

For Anime, I don't mind if it's dubbed or subbed. If it's aired on TV and handled well, I'll watch it dubbed...but, American dubbing has became a bit stale. I can watch one title, and recognize one actor's voice from a completely different title...and sometimes, it sounds like the same voices for both characters.
As of late, for DVDs, I'll watch it on Japanese(aturally for Fansubs. :) )..think the same person is doing one character from another series, and find out it's a completely different person that's providing the voice. I kind of like that surprise.
For Foreign Live Action, I prefer it purely in the native language. I find it a bit disrespectful to dub a living person/actor's voice, cause they could act their heart out and give their best performance ever...but if the performance gets hit with bad dubbing(either improper voice match, or just half-way done) it kind of ruins it.

There are only a few dubs which I could stand, and those are usually the ones where the script actually sounds ok in english, but stuff like Haruhi in english? I dunno if i could handle that @_@;

I prefer subtitled, mind you I have seen some horendous (fan)subbed anime from Hong Kong, where at times I needed subs for the subs. The Dubs I don't mind to much if care is taken, but most of the time the voices don't seem to match the characters.

like 95% of people here i prefer subs. I think that subs are more pure in the sense that the creators of the anime choose their voice actors to match the characters the way they have envisioned them to be. And to be honest after hearing the raw, dubs sound kinda lame.

i much prefer anime in raw japanese with english subs ^^
sometimes i get to be picky with the subs and subbers that i choose 'coz there are some that focuse more on the speed of their releases rather than the quality of their subs and there's a tendency that their grammar is wrong and even the spelling..."I love corm" anyone? lolz
it's very rare to see fast subbers with good quality subs ^^

Definitely raw with subtitles preferable. Dubbed just doesn't sound right most of the time to me.
Btw, about the electronic dictionary is it really that good? Thought of getting it, but cannot still see how it will help me a lot. Which electronic dictionary is good? I need one with English support ^^.
After living here for a year and half I can only barely make out parts of the conversation when talking to native japanese, they speak so fast はやい!.

I prefer subtitles by fans. It's not because they're free but rather they do it better than those commercial ones. You'd see the quality's better if they're made by people who love the show. I also like how fans subtitle the show with notes regarding japanese puns and culture on situations shown.
As for dubbed, Viz's Ranma is by far the best translated and voice-acted. Next to it is the old Pioneer (those who dubbed the first El Hazard).
And not to be biased, Pinoy dub rocks! They don't dub them just because it's work. They dub them with passion for they love the show! And often times they adjust the script suited to pinoy satire (Trigun, Yakitate Japan are a few examples of amazing Pinoy dubs)

I must admit I find dubs by the Ocean Group (From Vancouver, Canada) rather fine, because there can be much worse out there, especially when the translation is done by people who don't care. I still remember my younger days in France, where every name in anime was butchered and given a French counterpart and dubs were made by amateurs (some stood out nicely though). Hopefully this is not the case anymore.
I stopped watching anime on television because TV companies mix them with local crap and don't always pick the best around to not shock the youth.
Nothing beats fansub because it respects the original essence, mostly the songs but more importantly the awesome work of seiyuu (I don't need to go for an emphasis on their cult-like in Japan, that I fully understand?) and the life they literally put into characters?
To return to some bad example, even to this very day, I'm still shocked and outraged at the English version of Hare Hare Yukai and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and I feel I will never accept it as a decent dub.

Henry, you are definitely right. Upon choosing a translation team, you also pick their beliefs, values, work practices, policies and many more points.
Taking the wrong one can make you get disgusted from the very anime series you wanted to try, in the worst cases.
Never haste, choose carefully, never generalize... And anime will remain your faithful friend. ;)

I have always prefer my anime in the original language and sub, though I did started watching dub anime when I was young. Usually those are dub in malay which is very bad :(. I have watch some cantonese dub anime which are pretty good, as for english dub I haven't really watch any yet, but since I started to get R1 dvd I might just give it a try :)

Hearing the dubbed version kinda make go sick in the stomach.
I would have to choose the japanese version, subbed and raw. Either way, I still can learn from both of them ^^.

Hearing the dubbed makes me sick. In a way, horrible. But you gotta give credit for those trying to make it sound just alright.
I would prefer to watch raw and subbed verions than dubbed cuz I could still learn small phrases little by little.

To be fair, anime dubs tend to sound good only if it's used on a serious anime. Dubbing a moe light-hearted comedy fanservice anime makes it teeth-grindingly annoying to watch. I still prefer subs over dubs though.

Personally, having it dubbed is alright (and since i dont understand Japanese). Just as long as it's done good as well. Original anime audio would be closer indeed to the original script. However, reading the subtitles can make me lose focuse on the visuals which makes it less entertaining, close to reading a comic book instead.

Definitely subtitle over dubbing. I prefer the original version better.
As a matter of fact, my preference for subtitle goes for all movies, not just anime. For me, no matter how well they dubbed it, it will still have that sort-of unnatural feel ^^;
But then again, I suppose it depends on which version you watched first as well. When I was a kid, I watched Saber Rider and the Star Sheriff voiced in English; when I watched the original Japanese version, Star Musketeer Bismarck (星銃士ビスマルク) years later, it became very awkward hearing Japanese coming out of the characters' mouth, when they sounded much natural to me in English. Same goes for Voltron as well.

Macross - Do you remember love? Was also one of my first movies! I'd seen alot of anime in my childhood in France, but after I moved back to NL there was a period with no anime for me. I remember the BBC broadcasting a few highly popular anime movies, among which were Akira and Patlabor. That really started me going again in the mid/late 90ties.

I just listened to the English dub of Hare Hare Yukai... awful! Lucky for me, the french dubs were usually very good, and the BBC broadcasted subtitled raws! Too bad that subtitles were very crappy in the beginning!

Hey Danny, just wondering... Are you going to be at the Tokyo Game Show next week..? and if so, with a Press Pass?
If you are, I'm just wondering, which day are you going to be there? 19'th, 20'th? or both ~?
Because... I just happened to recently get my hands on a Press Pass... so...~
Just wondering if you wanted to hang ^^

I prefer the Japanese RAW because it's in its original context and language. ALso, it comes out way faster, rather than waiting for localization and licensing. Also, if it was a choice between RAW ONLY (no subtitles) and DUB ONLY, I would still pick the RAW, just because. Well, I started to learn Japanese, so hopefully I will be able to understand Anime without the need for fansubs. I notice that I can pick up quite a few things using context even with only 1 year of college Japanese experience.
Also, the dubbed Hare Hare Yukai isn't an official dub. I don't think they will ever dub the music in Haruhi (thank goodness) but I do believe that is a good fandub of the song. I remember finding it some time ago, I think I even posted about it on my own blog, haha.

Argh, that dub video!! My ears!! They bleed!!!!
Overall, even though I started on dubs with manga ent guyver and tank police dubs, I quickly moved over to subs when high speed internet became available in the UK. The main reason was due to the faster speeds I could watch the shows, but I was surprised at how I just couldn't bring myself to watch the dubs on any newer anime purchases. There were some exceptions, but for the most part, I can't stand dubs now.
More recently, with thanks to nicovideo, I have been watching a lot more Raws than I used to. All those years watching anime subbed has started to pay off (oh, and studying the lingo for a year and having random basic japanese conversations with my jap friends didn't hurt either).
Currently, I'm watching Gurren Lagann, Nanoha StrikerS, Heroic Age and Idolm@ster raw as they are shown and subtitled later.
I don't understand it all, but I know enough to get by.

I don't understand it all, but I know enough to get by.

日本人も海外の映画(洋画と呼ぶ)を映画館で
見る場合、日本語字幕付と日本語吹替え版が
ある場合、大抵は日本語字幕付の方を見る。
まぁー日本の場合、吹替えに無駄に俳優とか
素人を起用して顰蹙を買うからってのも有るけど。
(現在シンプソンズの吹替えでファンがもめてる)

u guys should see my G-seed destiny dubber, completely disgusting, abomination; more way to say it.
i could even say i can even dub kira far more better than that!
i could say they just read the script without seeing character expression & intonation.
aoi sekai no tameni(?) (for blue sky and pure world?) readed like a f-ing robot, no, even worse, zombies
the opening song survive from the dubs though

Funny, I got friends who rather watch dubbed anime than raw, as for me, its raw with sub or just raw... luckily the wife understands japanese, cause these animes with sub from china are garbage. I just watch and try to make words out of it. wife just laugh at how pathetic the subtitling are. Now wfie is obsessed at watching Yama Onna Kabe Onna, Your fault Danny :)

I got to an art university where we have Animation Major and bunch fo anime fans, for the most part they prefer subtitles. I must confess I prefer English. First having English already been my second language it shard enough, but reading now that sometimes makes me loose out on anime. I do watch some subtitles anime that have not been released in USA yet or if anime is very good. For example I watched Gundam Seed Destiny, I got tired waiting for it to do released in USA same with Xenosaga the Animation. Now i'm watching Gundam Seed Destiny in English and they did a bad job with voices, horrible :'( In the end English is still my preference because I believe I enjoy it much more this way.

Personally i prefer Raw japanese anime with subs ^_^ I really don't like dubs, i mean when i was younger it never bothered me that much, but now i hear the cheesy voices and think..."eugh thats just wrong" Especially when you get the cheesy american voices...no offence to american people, its just their voices really don't suit the characters. And i think the Japanese language sounds cool, and in anime where attacks have names...when the character screams out their attack it just sounds soo much more epic in Japanese, whereas in dub it just sounds cheesy...like in gurren lagann for example, attack names sound so epic! ^^
