Whenever an anime dub comes out for a series, someone must ask how well it was done compared to the original. Unfortunately, many people who do this are quick to call the dub inferior without offering a concrete reason. This leads to a heated debate over which is better and why. Unfortunately, they often devolve into arguments and hurling insults without presenting new points to progress the conversation. The dub lovers are called fools for loving an inferior product, and the sub-lovers are called elitists who believe the only way to watch anime is in its original Japanese.There was a time when the sub watchers had a point, but times have changed. Dubbing was once underdeveloped and worthy of heckling. However, dubbing has developed considerably in recent years; it’s practically become an art form. Many dubs now live up to the quality of their respective anime. Marking dubs as inferior despite these changes would be a flawed approach. Now is the time to more closely observe anime subs and dubs, take note of their subtleties, and use those to determine which version did what lines better. There are reasons to like an anime subbed or dubbed.Watching an anime in Japanese can also have Japanese-exclusive meaning. The Japanese have countless words, idioms, accents, and puns that only exist in their native language. Other countries trying to translate scripts with such exclusivities must either leave it as is, find a localized alternative, or omit it. The translator either fails to sound native or loses too much of the original meaning. This is on top of other subtleties in the dialogue lost because the translators missed them.
