Dio

Lol why do you have to announce you're going to skip

celery

ik i just will cringe the whole time i wanted to see the reaction but 🤷

celery

i didn’t have to i just wanted to? i wanted to watch this reaction but ik i’ll just cringe LMFAO 🤷

Nash

Did y’all watch jjk ep 7? 👀

BrianTheWoeful

Yea this dub is not it lol. Glad you guys gave it a chance. Was a bit jarring doing it already 4 episodes in but can't wait for the rest of the ride!!

Nash

I know they’re gonna upload it next week but they mentioned in the previous video that they’re gonna watch ep 7

BrianTheWoeful

Also u guys said your just enjoying 2 anime so far and mentioned JJK/Death Note. Are you still loving Vinland? (I've been busy and behind on a lot of your reactions)

Lorelei

I wouldn't say we won lol, they've most likely gone back to sub after this😂

Studze Kisiel

If so many ppl still say this dub is bad then I don't think a better one exists tbh It's the only series where for me dub is even better

lynn

Ayo let’s get this dub💯

C2-H5-OH

The thing with Anime like Death Note and Code Geass is that most of us watched it a long time ago, like almost a decade ago. Back then Anime wasn't as accessible as it is today, and a large percentage of watchers could only find it in English, not Japanese with subs. This is why so many people recommend the dub; it's what we grew up with.

Lukeasbot

more uploads tonight?

lynn

Ayo lets NOT get this dub😭😭😭 wtf that was so hard to watch

lynn

why r the subtitles not lining up my brain doesn’t work like this

lynn

U only have one braincell… makes sense as to why you can’t keep up

Elijah Tatum

Carter the show said something like "didn't Ryuk sneak a second death note behind the old man's back." If shinigamis are kind of like demons then them referring to the 'old man' would be some sort of 'devil' character you know.

BrianTheWoeful

Also totally unrelated and out of the blue but why havent we anime fans been pushing for Steins Gate?? 2nd highest rated show behind FMA and seems like the perfect Sci-fi for anime haters

rosa_gris

Thanks for giving the dub a chance and your honest opinions. Not being able to talk over the English dialogue is a good point. In another video, you guys mentioned that you had a lot of Japanese viewers too. Maybe watching the sub would be easier for them to follow along. I’m just hoping for your reactions to iconic scenes in dub vs sub.

rosa_gris

Was going to say.. I think Carter’s misremembering/misunderstanding something. I wasn’t sure if clarifying who the “old man” is would be a spoiler or clarification because I don’t remember what’s been said in previous episodes.

Audreyldo

what about vinland saga 🙇🏻‍♀️

Kyra Sun

The reason why the Dub's voice lines aren't perfectly 1 to 1 translated is due to the animation. The animation is perfectly synced only for Japanese character lines (I'm pretty sure), when the characters talks, the animation shows that. If you tried to perfectly translate it to English, you'll most likely see characters continuing to talk when the animation has already stopped, leaving it janky and jaring, almost like youtube video which has 1 sec behind audio issues. So because of that, the dubbing has to 1) try to convey the overall message as closely to the original meaning, and 2) making sure the English words is within the character talking or aka the animation!

Xio’♡

I’m glad you gave it a try! It’s really a great dub but I get wanting to do sub because it’ll make it easier to react.

lynn

aryastark I watched all of it because I support da grind

rosa_gris

I wonder how they’ll feel about the first 10 episodes. It’s either a hit or miss because of the pacing and comedy. I can see them being hella confused 😅 and maybe put-off by some of the jokes. But those episodes are important for setting up the latter half of the show.

Carrie

Brig kinda looking like Woody Harrelson with that new buzz cut lmfao

will saldivia

Damn so are you guys done with Vinland then? Sounded like it wasn’t on your list for shows you like

Wild Gamers

I have to disagree, new anime watchers like me who haven't been around for a long time still chose the dub over the sub for death note because we were told it was really good and it was. If they started out watching it in the dub then it would've sounded more natural to them. But they are too used to the sub now, oh well.

Wild Gamers

If they ever watch Full Metal Alchemist or Cowboy Bebop they have to start out with the dub or else they will find it weird when they switch from sub to dub while already a few episodes in.

icynub

I think they haven't gotten to the greatest episodes I didn't like it until episode 17 tbh

will saldivia

I agree but that’s crazy you watched thru ep 17 when you didn’t like it. That’s dedication lmao

Viggoiv

Just some clarification: the 'old man' the shinigami were talking about is not an actual man that Ryuk gave a deathnote to. They were refering to their 'boss' or like the shinigami god. If i remember correctly they were talking about how Ryuk had 2 death notes without their boss (the old man) knowing about it. Or Ryuk just didn't give it back, not 100% sure. Don't worry this is in no way, shape or form a spoiler.

Ashe

What the hell u talking about they love vinland. They were talking about someone else.

mariah

glad yall tried dub

will saldivia

No need to be aggressive my guy, I was just wondering since they didn’t mention that they liked it too.

kiiturii

honestly the most annoying part was how different the subtitles were, hoping you go back to sub next ep even though the dub itself wasn't bad in any way

kiiturii

it's common for first time anime watchers to watch dub regardless of generation, when I first started I watched only dub for a few months (including death note) then eventually started moving into sub because of some anime like vinland saga which didn't have a dub. Nowadays I never watch dub unless it's kaguya sama lol

kiiturii

really wanna see them watch it ngl but maybe a bit later on, the first 10 episodes are kind of a filter because it's an adaptation from a VN, not much happens there, even though those episode are still very important

CG

is it just me or the audio is so low

Chrisiyyi

I like the sub more of those too, but its true that once you get used to voices that turning to the other makes it feel off

A_Daddy Daichi

Ah I forgot about the dub episode. I meant to watch one on my own but forgot so this will be interesting watching with you guys! I'm a new watcher of death note on ep 19 and its okay so far. Not my favorite but interested to see how it ends.

A_Daddy Daichi

okay so for me, the dub wasn't that bad actually but I wouldn't watch it again. I don't think Ryuk is better in dub but it's pretty good. This just wasn't for me.

A_Daddy Daichi

lol I usually cringe in dub but this one wasn't that bad. It's just not better than sub for sure.

celery

honestly my favourite dub in anime is saiki k, so underrated and funny

Studze Kisiel

Ooh I haven't watched it in general tbh but I heard it's somewhat similar to MP100 so might give it a try

bluemilk

Man, the dub version is great. In my opinion, the best dub of any anime. I was actually able to get through it even after watching it in Sub. Light's voice actor is AMAZING.

Iago

again, it should not even be a question to watch anime shows in dub. Just watch it on the original audio. Would you try the japenese or french or whatever dub for a show like Incredible? Or spider man the animated movie? Would you watch a show like dark in any other language than german? Just watch stuff on their original audio, no matter how the internet says the dub is great, it will never be as good. Most of the time it can kill the atmosphere of a show, it can change character vocal traits and whatnot. Most people recommending it are just nostalgic because they watched it for the first time in the dub years and years ago. There is no reason to watch in dub.

jemmy

Natural dub hater here, but death note's dub was really good, to be honest. I'm in loooooove with L's voice. Like there was just something about it, like they nailed what a genius like him would sound like irl

Ledish

Nah, there are many shows where the dub is just as good, or at least close to it. A few where they are actually better. Cyberpunk Edgerunners for example is far, far superior in dub.

Chris7o

FMAB sub is probably better objectively but I still prefer dub because I cant stand hearing Hange from AOT coming out of Edwards voice it sounds so wrong to me

ssj4rit

Lmao you clearly haven’t watched YYH or Cowboy Bebop dub if you think sub is always better.

studiogek

No we love Vinland! We are definitely not done with it, we’re still gonna post it every week

Mia Malvik

You were all like 👀 through the entire video, I felt it had to be something like that lol

Nick McGuire

Btw OCHAI AGBAGI IS NEXT UP U HEARD IT HERE FIRST

leah

i watched the whole thing in dub and loved it tbh

Bibi

i hope this ends the dub debate I see on every episode's comment section! tbh it's annoying at this point so let's just enjoy the show and comment about the show's content please

fatou

i liked how yall believed it was sus for light to kill raye next but his plan to actually kill him is actually smart, can't wait to see ur reaction to episode 5

Desiree Retterath

subtitles are different than the dub because they're a direct translation whereas the words spoken are chosen to match the mouth movements for the most part

Alex Kaiser

Dude... I literally can't process subtitles that don't match the words being spoken when it's the same language.

szeth

Imo if a show is being watched by a native English speaker and the dub and sub are both at least fine(some smaller budget shows are truly unbearable, but basically any popular show fits) then the real answer to sub v dub is which one you watch first. This is a take from someone who was a dub watcher and then converted to sub. Every show I have seen first in dub I think the dub sounds better and same for sub and everyone I talk to this opinion holds up. I'm 90% sure it is because your brain hears the first voice and connects it with the character. Ofc this may not be true for individual characters, like even though I saw first 3 seasons of AoT in dub, I still don't like armin's voice in it as much, but its accurate for shows overall. Just my opinion

ssj4rit

Light: “internal monologues for 5 minutes and smirks evilly to himself” Raye: “yeah that’s a normal kid” Lmao I love Light though

Riya

Yeah, dub Light had some pretty epic and dramatic moments and one scene that made me chuckle (if you know you know lol). Hopefully, the debate can subside hahaha

DeeHasApples

Bruh, I didn't know what you were talking about but I saw it when I started the episode! They have like the same mouth.

szeth

also the distinction gets greater the more episodes you watch. My guess is if you tried dub at the end of the show like AoT you wouldn't like it compared to saying it was alright but who knows

Zekrom XI

Grown ass men acting like little children in the comment section. Face it, y’all don’t care much about bad voice acting. You’re just weirdly obsessed with Japan and their voice acting. Because there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this English dub and MANY other modern dubs in anime. You’re nothing but grown ass men acting disrespectful to the voice cast. So in conclusion, kindly FUCK OFF! Edit: Just to be clear, I am not talking about the Gek reactors. I am referring to the weirdos in the comment section.

Zekrom XI

Y’all are talking trash about the English dub. That’s called hate speech. At this moment, it is no longer just a “show.” You’’re being disrespectful and hurtful to actual humans. What’s worse, is that you’re probably a grown ass man behaving like that.

Zekrom XI

Having a “preference” and literally trash talking someone’s hard work are 2 COMPLETELY different things! 🤡

Bryce

everyone is allowed to have an opinion my guy, no need to be toxic.

Zekrom XI

There’s something called constructive criticism. I saw NONE of that in this thread. All I see are grown ass men acting disrespectful and rude to the voice cast of this English dub. Also, don’t tell me to “not be toxic,” kid. I am the one calling out ALL OF YOU toxic weirdos in the comments. Stop projecting because I confronted you.

ssj4rit

You gotta be trolling if you’re calling this hate speech. This is just an insult to actual people that suffer hate speech if you’re being serious. Also, they literally said they liked the dub. So maybe you need to go back to kindergarten and learn how to listen.

Zekrom XI

How do you think the English voice cast feels when they read hurtful comments like the ones you guys make? Have you ever even considered how that would make someone feel? Instead of being a complete disrespectful dick, why don’t you try putting yourself in their shoes for once! There is NO NEED to be so toxic and rude about voicing your opinions.

Bryce

I like the dub, idk what you’re talking about. If people don’t like a performance, there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m sure they were paid well and could care less what others say. Anyways, have a good day man!

Zekrom XI

Comments and negativity on social media in general can really fuck with someone’s brain. I’ve seen popular influencers literally take their own life due to toxic negative comments. You’re just too ignorant to realize your words can really affect others. Instead of being an absolute dick, why not just be normal, civilized human and be polite about saying you don’t like the English dub? I guess that’s too hard to ask for some folks. They just wanna be on their high horse hating because they think it’s cool and funny.

Joker

they explicity said that they dont necessarily mind the actual voicing and thought it was much better than for AOT. i dont see why youre blowing up like a bunch of C4. moreover, its obvious you arent familiar with how the human brain works. we as humans get used to things very quick and change our minds very little unless theres a SIGNIFICANT reason to change it. when i started watching DN, i started with the sub, and i enjoyed it and found it natural. when i switched to the dub, i found it extremely jarring and couldnt really hack it, my brain was picking up on too many little things that it normally wouldnt pick up on bc it was far too familiar with the sub. however, when i watched fairytail alllllll those years ago, i watched it in dub and it felt very natural. when i went back to it recently, i realised that the dub is actually kinda cringe, but i was still far more comfortable with the dub than the sub at that point, its just how our brains works, we get familiar with smthn and we move on. so people are gonna stick with what theyre first familiar with, unless theres a RADICAL difference that makes one supremely better than the other, but particularly with voice acting, thats very unlikely to happen bc the brain just attaches itself quickly and becomes resistant to change. so please, honestly, just relax and knock it off. we cant change how our brain works that easily🤦🏾‍♂️

ssj4rit

How do you think the Geks feel when you go under their comments and call them “little children” and call them “weirdly obsessed” when they just want to discuss their tastes? You only seem to care about people insulting others when it fits your narrative. Maybe look in the mirror.

Zekrom XI

I’m not talking about the reactors obviously. I am referring the toxic weirdos in the comment section.

ssj4rit

Even then, who cares lol. Internet comments are a toxic place everywhere my friend. But would famous VAs really care about what someone on their couch or bed is saying on a private Patreon? Don’t lose sleep over it lol

Zekrom XI

You must be new to the anime community. English dub hating has been going on for centuries! It’s not just happening in some “patreon comment section.” It’s happening all across the world on many different social media platforms. Real life people voiced these characters and when they read such toxic negativity surrounding it, that can really fuck with someone’s brain. Like I said, I’ve seen actual people take their own life due to negative and hurtful comments. Some people just don’t realize that their words can affect others.

Pressure

i say use the sub i found myself not able to focus on what you guys were saying because two voices going at once but with sub i can read and listen to yall way better viewing experience

ssj4rit

I’ve not seen anyone say things like “dub sucks the voice actors should feel bad and hate themselves”. When you go into the industry like this, you open yourself to critique. You are performing for an audience and naturally some will like you, and some won’t. You can’t expect everyone to like your work. While I agree it also falls on fans to be respectful with their critiques and keep it to the WORK and not the person behind it, I’m not sure what comment in particular angered you this much here. Maybe take it easy. I’m sure there are cases like the MAPPA hate where your feelings ring true, but in those cases fans literally send death threats to workers. What here has gone to that level? Do we need to police even the voicing of an opposing opinion? Sorry man but preferences exist and people will voice them. That’s the beauty of art. You’re also free to voice your feelings but I’m gonna end it here cuz I don’t really wanna sink into a dub vs sub debate, there are more things in life to enjoy lol

Jed

Bruh my mans said "CENTURIES" brother voice acting wasn't invented until 1928... Fun fact it hasn't even been 100 years yet so... Also anyone else who wants to respond to this guy he is obviously a troll and looking for attention so just ignore it he will give up once he realizes no one cares about his bait opinion.

The RZA

Centuries is a bit of a stretch. First anime ever dubbed was exactly 60 years ago...not gonna lie i expected more recent than that. Some ppl like me think that most anime have more emotional range with sub. Some ppl are like my girl and think dub is fine and don't want to miss something while reading subtitles. To each there own. I don't think the English VA's are going to be hurt by this but just because someone is being toxic doesn't mean you aren't toxic by lashing out. I get what you are saying but A.)Golden Rule- treat others how you want to be treated. If people just see you calling people all this stuff, you look like the bad one as you say to consider others feelings and you appear to be lashing out at EVERYONE ....B.)Even knowing what you are saying...and i partially agree about "ya ppl can be d1cks.." you are being just as toxic and this has all become very victim card/karen sounding. Has a english voice actor ever said to you how they have their feelings hurt even? Yes hurtful comments can hurt...and you are saying some pretty negative and hurtful comments yourself..not even religious but "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"+"people in glass houses should not throw stones" both REAAAAALLLLYYYYY seem like things for you to consider

Brittney Wright

Yeah, the thing about the part of the show that Brig is talking about is that there is a clear break in the writing. And the second part is not bad it just feels so bad when compared to the first part I would the first part a 9.8/10 and the second part like a 6.8/10. It's not it's just meh... It's a GoT season 8 vibe. That being said when you finally get to the end I was very satisfied... It was just the weird section that's not as good.😔 And Light is very much a Dexter like he is a full-blown serial killer but he's only killing criminals so it's kinda okay.....🙈🤔 Also idk why people are mad that they y'all are still saying Anime Haters like even if Cannon and Cater become full weebs (which I highly doubt) that is like their whole brand! Lol 😆

Knomadic

I actually think most people are kinda overdramatic about the ending part of Death Note being "worse". There's plenty happening in the story to enjoy and when I came back to the show and finished it I was glad I did. Edit -- Also if yall want to watch the Dub you just need to find a good version where the subtitles actually match the words and you won't have an issue of missing things

Dani G

I usually prefer sub almost always, but this dub is truly exceptional. Light’s VA is bone-chilling from what I remember and I just love L’s VA and his eccentric portrayal. Of course, I might be a tad biased because I originally watched the whole series dubbed since the friend that watched it with me would only watch it in English. Then again, I also LOVE the AOT dub if not prefer it now circa season four, so some may find my opinion controversial, lol. At the very least, you guys gave it a chance and that’s awesome.

Dani G

Not me. Growing up, I watched everything subbed. I had to torrent fan subs off Anime Suki if anyone even remembers that site, lol. Even still, I watched Death Note dubbed at the advice of a friend and no regrets experiencing it the first time that way. It’s amazing.

ssj4rit

Nah the “second part” of DN is nowhere near as bad as GoT s8 lol. S8 was so bad it literally killed the goodwill GoT cultivated over a decade. No one discussed its merits after lol, people now just remember the stain that was s8 It’s more like s5-6 GoT. Interesting but clearly not as peak as 1-4. Though the manga is better since the anime rushed through some parts.

James

Which comments are you referring to that are hurtful or toxic?

Gabriel Alexander

nah bro, for some reason anime dub actors make their voices so dumb, its like a voice you would use to make fun of someone else. If you compare the way anime voice actors talk versus any other animation like pixar, or tv shows like dexter, or movies like the mario movie, anything that isn't anime, actors use their regular acting voice, but for anime they just make this weird thing with their voice that's goofy as fuck, and I haven't seen that in dubs in other languages like spanish, I LOVE the latin american spanish dub for death note I actually prefer it to sub, but english is something else.

The RZA

The largest issue that va's for dubbing face is that they are given a script and told to make it match as well as they can with the animation RIGHT NOW!!! and the dubbing just doesn't feel right because of that. There are some AMAZING anime where they did it right but most of the time i feel like the english show companies don't care to do it right and it just doesn't hit as well as the original va's that were ivolved from the start. Dub voice actors i think try their best but they are brought into all of it blind and i think they do very well without context original VA's have

Devzy 793

There's no way the second part of death note is anywhere near as bad as s8 of GoT. S8 was god awful the way it betrays everything it'd been building to. I'd still give DN's second part an 8-8.5/10

Ale

I absolutely know what part Brig is referring and yeah I agree, but I did finish the story back the days and felt it was OK, then I rewatched like 2 years ago and kinda like it a little better after THAT thing happens, I don't know if I'll have a different opinion this time xd

Carrie

I swear, especially 90s Woody in natural born killers or white men can’t jump?? So similar it’s spooky

Carrie

& in my defense I never said it was a bad thing, that man’s weirdly attractive 😂

szeth

While I agree that dub haters can overreact, they are also allowed to share their opinion. You lost me on hate speech lmao

szeth

Second part of DN was yeah kinda meh in comparison but s8 of GoT is complete ass

BrianTheWoeful

Dude, most of the comments are just saying "yea dub ain't for me". You're the one who over-reached and then made a lame call out

BrianTheWoeful

1. Most of the people who don't like dub have stated that they think it's fine just prefer the authenticity of sub 2. I don't think you understand that English voice actors don't go through as much extensive effort and work that Japanese VAs do and for you to say that the people who prefer sub just have a WEIRD fascination with the country... like... how do you think the Japanese actors would feel about reading something like that. Maybe people just respect the country that is literally giving the dub actors and YOU the content that you LOVE so much?? JAPANESE people are the ones writing the dialogue and the characters and the scenarios 3. Bro this is a fucking patreon where people are allowed to share their opinions. Hate speech?? Really?? If anything, I have felt the most aggression come from YOU 4. TOUCH GRASS

Brittney Wright

Yo everyone chill I'm saying it's a Similar thing BUT not the same relax we all know that GoT had the worse ending of all time....

Riya

I started anime as a kid with dub and gradually moved to sub when the animes that I was watching didn't catch up to the sub. I found the dub to be simple than if I were to start with a sub (maybe I wasn't knowledgeable back then haha). Tbh, just to name a few, animes like Naruto, Bleach, Yu-gi-oh, Beyblade, Blue Dragon, DN, Pokemon (who can forget lol), etc were great in dub. Dub took over my earlier years and I enjoyed every moment of it. I had to shift to sub to continue watching a few of them and many others. Of course, I started to gradually like sub as well. That's my story ~End

pikaiichuu

I actually wanted you guys to watch the dub but by the end I was like "it's so hard to focus and listen to what they are saying" I think maybe stick with sub for stuff :)

Riya

live action will always have to be the original audio no matter what, but for anime, it depends since these are animated characters so the dub and sub VAs can embody that character in their respective version. In my case, I started with dub at a young age then moved to sub b/c dub wasn't catching up with the sub. There are some great dubs out there too!

Colton Leadbetter

Dub is wayyyyyyy bettttttter for deathnote, AOT, Code Geass,, Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Bladework, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kiesen .

Nathan Randall

I think if u focus on analysing the dub too much, ur not fully emersed in the story, therefore u think the dub is to blame, but it may be ur frame of mind or preconcieved notions

Yo Dani

im sorry, but dub is only "better" for Americans. For the rest of the viewers it is cringe. Even in my own language it would be even more cringe..
