It bothers me when I'm not hearing the actual actor's voice Technically a lot of don't have "actual" actors since many anime are adapted from manga or other sources, so the character would have been created without a specific voice in mind. So in that sense the original voice actors aren't that much more authentic than those for other dubs, unless the creators themselves had input on the casting. Yeah, the "actual actor" claim is always fucking stupid since very few roles are written for an actor. As such, both actors are equally valid. Sure, with animated movies or anime it doesn't matter quite as much. I might actually go with the dubbed voices a lot of the time. But live-action movies, I'm always going with subtitles when possible. Eh, the topic was strongly implied to be about anime, but yeah, live-action is somewhat different. Granted, dubbing isn't that common (into English, anyway) and, where theaters are concerned, it seems like more often see US remakes than dubbed releases. Live-action dubs in general tend to be dicier on quality. Suspiria was good, for instance, but Demoni 1 & 2 were both kinda bad... although a badly dubbed Demoni still beats a subbed Demoni. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:890113991] in Do you pre...
