Subject: Re: [gundam] Gundam movie Question
I totally agree with this point. If a Japanese animation, let alone just
the Gundam one, dubbed versions take >out almost all of the emotions and
craziness of most of the characters. You just don't want dubbed >versions.
They would all just be boring.
Not always - there are some VERY good dubs out there, especially in recent
years. Think Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Wolf's Rain, etc........
Yes, the older the Dub, generally the worse the quality. (This is especially
true with the VHS dub of the First Gundam movies) But since most of us in
North America don't know Japanese, Dubs are still the main option for
watching anime over here. I do prefer the subs of many titles, but I usually
stay away from them unless there's no dub (DVDs of First Gundam movies),
I've watched it a few times and can concentrate on the subtitles without
loosing the thread of the story, or the dub is just plain BAD!
And for new Anime fans, unless they're used to watching subbed foreign
films, Dubs are the only way to get them interested without putting them to
sleep or totally confusing them. (Yes, this is the voice of experience!)
