I’m glad that dubbing studios have finally realized that for comedy anime like Kaguya-Sama, Konosuba, etc, the key is overacting and not taking yourself too seriously. And for more serious anime like Attack on Titan, the key is overacting and taking yourself too seriously.
@@aceaids4000 its not sometimes y'know, it's kinda a cultural difference on how we (Asians) react to things, we just got a lot of onomatopeia(?) and tones that might sound "overreacting" to westerns
@@aceaids4000 exactly. That’s why for the longest time Japanese media was seen as cringy and zaney to a western audience. Japanese actors and actresses often put their heart and soul into their lines, (part of Japan’s overall work ethic of putting 120% effort into your job) delivering the most emotional and impactful performances in every situation. And for whatever reason, western voice actors couldn’t replicate the believable emotions and intensity that Japanese VAs can, and they sounded like they were trying too hard. That’s why the dub for so many serious anime is cringy as heck, and comedy anime seems to have more palatable dubs, cause the VAs are laughing as they read the lines and are genuinely feeling the emotion. On the contrary, it took more serious dubs a long time to figure out how to exactly emulate over-the-top Japanese acting styles in a believable manner. Just compare the Attack on Titan dubs for season 1 and season 4 and the difference is remarkable.
@@user-ux4bv9gb5j With this in mind, isn’t it kinda weird that people say English dubs lack emotion and whatnot? I always thought that there were clear cultural differences, so the whole bashing of dubs was dumb to me. Like whatever the dub cast does, it works in English, and whatever the sub cast does, it works in Japanese. If either would try to replicate the other exactly, it wouldn’t feel right. I mean in anime in general. I appreciate both.
He had no idea how close he was to the truth, considering who Miyuki was secretly talking about. Supposedly, manga Kaguya was apparently described here and there as having no chest, though I think anime Kaguya was drawn to have a bit.
We all appreciate the VAs, but let's also acknowledge the translators and scriptwriters localizing the humor for English audiences. The "A is Kissing" and "Wiener" bits have a lot of clever wordplay and modern humor that likely stray away from the original Japanese context but still match the intended energy of the scene.
Switching the Japanese jokes with western humor is such an extra effort but very much appreciated. Also kudos to the announcer, he gave so much personality. The intonations are just glorious!
1:54 this can't be fucking real. 5:54 This narrator is fucking amazing, I can't even. He's like the judge in the ace attorney outtakes, every line is an instant kill
I read an essay once for the SAT that was about how hard it was to translate poems into different languages while still retaining the emotional effect of the original language. One side of the argument said it wasn’t so important to stay exactly true to the original, and that there was an art in translating not only the words but the styles, personalities and normalities of conversation into a different culture, even offering some creative and individualistic opportunities for the translator. I think the same thing applies here with humor and anime, like when you’re bringing it to the States why not let loose and be a little more creative, we can always watch the sub if we want the truer version
Yeah it is more than just words being translated. The change is so remarkable that the dub becomes something worth watching in its own right, a transformative creation from the original sub.

What I really like about this dub is although the lines differ a lot from the sub, the lines (and especially their delivery) do a great job of conveying the raw emotion of the characters at any given moment. The dub VAs are almost flawless in the way they're able to adjust their voice depending on the characters' expressions (which isn't true for a lot of other dubs.) Truly a great dub (pun intended.)
That's the problem with most dubs. They try to translate each dialogue directly and it just comes off as unnatural and overexaggerated. This dub was phenomenal.
True, they actually seemed to use their brains when making it and it shows. The only surface fix is the pronunciation of names but, tbh. I don’t even mind it much.
6:09-Holy shit they nailed this moment, like it gives off different vibes since its a dub and a different voice actor but the abruptness continues to be hilarious
I don't know but Ghost stories Dub is more of a parody of the whole stories that it's no longer about ghost stories but about the construction men. Meanwhile, Kaguya Dub retained the whole story but with a story telling that fits more with the intended non-japanese audience so I'll say this is a better "anime dub".
I’ll just suggest other dubs that are amazing imo: • My Hero Academia • Assassination Classroom • Death Note • Kachou wa Maid Sama! • Ouran High School Host Club • Dr. Stone • Haikyuu!! • Attack on Titan • Demon Slayer (Aleks Le is *_amazing_*) • this dub • Mob Psycho 100 • Jujutsu Kaisen (Nobara’s dub is a personal favorite; Gojo’s is a close second) • Sk8 the Infinity (JONAH SCOTT, that’s all I have to say) • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Keep in mind this is all my personal opinion. If you don’t agree that’s fine-just don’t intensely attack the dubs or people’s personal tastes. You can also list some other dubs if you’d like :D
For anyone wondering: The narrator is Ian Sinclair, and many of his other dubbing roles are either just as wild as this one or a complete 180 (He voices Bokuto from Haikyuu and Magna from Black Clover, but also Shoji from My Hero Academia and Tsukasa from Dr. Stone)
This practically has nothing to do with this comment. I just want to spread this little tidbit of info. That being, Satori Tendo is voiced by Josh Grelle. You know, the guy who voices Armin in AOT.
The Narrator needs his own backstory. Thinking about it, having an anime where the Narrator is literally a main character (as in he narrates things, but only the other main characters van hear him and interact with him or something) could actually be a rather creative concept.
2:55 I like how the narrator said it 3:42 fujiwara is the WIENER 4:48 ah yes, the floor here is made out of floor 7:20 it sucks, but that's what we got 8:39 oh come on, shirogane RIP
@@christophersalinas2722 She's voiced by Jade Saxton all of her rolls sound like the character has anger issues but I don't think she's a bad VA guess that's how she is lol! She did alright with Koneko though she did make her more of a badass than a cute cat girl!
What a great time to be alive. This dub prooves not every single thing has to imitate the original tone of the characters (like the narrator) to result a success for different audiences. I honestly thought the dub was pretty solid besides some moments I prefered from the original VA but I honestly saw this as an amazing performance that adapted perfectly the feelings of the original characters and the absolutely marvellous and hilarious situations they get involved in. Thanks for showing some appreciation for the dub. I also love the original voice acting but who hasn't praised it already. I think this one needs more recognition for the experiments that function great handsight with the even more chaotic tone. Thanks for showing how good the dub can be. Really glad there's more and more appreciation for such a good dub.
Yes Yes YEsSS! This is one of my favorite Anime and I was so pleased with this dub! I ended up enjoying it more overall, even if there are parts I enjoyed more in the original sub. I'm so happy to see a lot of the negativity for this dub disappearing. Not completely but...we're getting there.
@@kitana5583 Thanks for sharing your feedback here.I really appreciate people that aren't afraid of conveying what they feel about this anime/manga series. This dub proved to be crafty, not as perfect or polished or fitting for some characters (I don't really like Ishigami's voice sometimes or some of the secondary characters voices) it maintains the original tone of the anime while adding the wild humor of the narrator and all those hilarious media references and internet culture terms. I'm very glad about Alexis Tipton performance and I like Miyuki aswell. And chika has the voice I would have imagined. Hayasaka's british accent is also very fitting. I definitely want more dub for this anime on its 3rd season when it releases.
Honestly it was a good call to not try and completely imitate the original and instead make it sound more natural in English. This dub is great, and the reason it (mostly) hasn’t surpassed the original is because the voice acting in it was just THAT good (you don’t have to be able to speak Japanese to notice that)
@@sakurabloomltd.8667 The best part is that you wouldn’t think it would at first, since Jad specializes in voicing bossy or apathetic characters like Carla or Hanajima. It kind of blew me away that she was such a good Chika, and now I can’t think of anyone that could have done it better!
@@Civa. Did ... did you not just see the video? Think for yourself man! There are always people who think the dub is worse. Don’t let those people decide what you should enjoy
Kei and Miyuki's relationship is the first sibling relationship I see in an anime that genuinely feels like a sibling relationship. Wanting to know about your brother's love life but not wanting to ask because that's really awkward is something I definitely felt before. And while I didn't get mad at him about it, I did get mad at my sister because she broke up with a guy I really liked (which is really not my concern, I know, I grew up since). Almost certain the author himself has a sister because it's spot on.
I don't know. I'm sure he's very good at other ones he's done but he lacks the intensity from the original. I don't want to disparage anybody's work. It's just that in the original the narrator so much more intense
a lot of people's issue with the dub is how much more emotive the narrator is, but that was honestly one of the biggest draws for me. It was like I was watching the show with a friend who was laughing at the absurdity with me
The narrator in the sub is just as emotive for a lot of stuff. They just say it in a way that unless you’re a native speaker of the language you wouldn’t get it or it’s hard to translate it. The English dub narrator is great at bridging the gap towards a western audience to make it just as funny as the sub
It’s pretty interesting how different the sub and dub version of the narrator is. The sub narrator narrates everything super seriously and never breaks narrating everything as if it’s 1000% serious which makes it all the funnier. The dub version is basically his own character and reminds me of a goofy friend who’s given free reign to point out all the jokes over his friends life. I somewhat prefer the sub version since I think it makes sense since the serious angle is how the characters see their own world. But dub version can seriously leave me cackling at least three times an episode. There are a few times where I think he’s a little much but that only happened like twice and he gives a lot more laughs.
I don’t speak Japanese. So the inflection in that language means nothing to me. I have no idea what word is meant to be stressed or what it means. I’d way rather watch a dub if it’s available. Especially newer shows. Dubs have been getting much better. A lot more care.

True, they actually seemed to use their brains when making it and it shows. The only surface fix is the pronunciation of names but, tbh. I don’t even mind it much.

Forreal. This little exchange between Kaguya and Shirogane might be my favorite scene in the series, and it's PURELY because of the voice-acting.
9:22
Kaguya: You will tell me those 3 small words.
Shirogane: What words?
Kaguya: "I love you of cour- wait a minute.
Shirogane: I've won this battle.

Finally, a dub to rival Ghost Stories
I don't know but Ghost stories Dub is more of a parody of the whole stories that it's no longer about ghost stories but about the construction men.
Meanwhile, Kaguya Dub retained the whole story but with a story telling that fits more with the intended non-japanese audience so I'll say this is a better "anime dub".
May I also suggest the Akame Ga Kill! Dub. The dub was the only reason I watched it it’s beautiful
Give sk8 dub and jjk dubs are both phenomenal and equal to the sub versions
I’ll just suggest other dubs that are amazing imo:
• My Hero Academia
• Assassination Classroom
• Death Note
• Kachou wa Maid Sama!
• Ouran High School Host Club
• Dr. Stone
• Haikyuu!!
• Attack on Titan
• Demon Slayer (Aleks Le is *_amazing_*)
• this dub
• Mob Psycho 100
• Jujutsu Kaisen (Nobara’s dub is a personal favorite; Gojo’s is a close second)
• Sk8 the Infinity (JONAH SCOTT, that’s all I have to say)
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Keep in mind this is all my personal opinion. If you don’t agree that’s fine-just don’t intensely attack the dubs or people’s personal tastes. You can also list some other dubs if you’d like :D
If you want a good comedic yet short anime for English Dub try Hetalia :)) And yeah, Ashley's recommendations are hella good too

For anyone wondering:
The narrator is Ian Sinclair, and many of his other dubbing roles are either just as wild as this one or a complete 180 (He voices Bokuto from Haikyuu and Magna from Black Clover, but also Shoji from My Hero Academia and Tsukasa from Dr. Stone)
He also voiced Whis in Dragon Ball Super
@@socksboii3848 I noticed this one rather swiftly
He's also Berkut from Fire Emblem Echoes
This practically has nothing to do with this comment. I just want to spread this little tidbit of info. That being, Satori Tendo is voiced by Josh Grelle. You know, the guy who voices Armin in AOT.
@@Ashley-Lopez he's also Shido Itsuka from Date A Live and Issei Hyoudou from Seasons 3 and 4 of Highschool D×D
Ian Sinclair is honestly the best narrator I’ve heard ,he fits Whis and narration he feels like a main character
@@YounganMar3921 oh, Hi?
@@YounganMar3921 uh pretty good

The Narrator needs his own backstory. Thinking about it, having an anime where the Narrator is literally a main character (as in he narrates things, but only the other main characters van hear him and interact with him or something) could actually be a rather creative concept.
you clearly haven't watched space dandy

What a great time to be alive. This dub prooves not every single thing has to imitate the original tone of the characters (like the narrator) to result a success for different audiences. I honestly thought the dub was pretty solid besides some moments I prefered from the original VA but I honestly saw this as an amazing performance that adapted perfectly the feelings of the original characters and the absolutely marvellous and hilarious situations they get involved in. Thanks for showing some appreciation for the dub. I also love the original voice acting but who hasn't praised it already. I think this one needs more recognition for the experiments that function great handsight with the even more chaotic tone.
Thanks for showing how good the dub can be. Really glad there's more and more appreciation for such a good dub.
Yes Yes YEsSS! This is one of my favorite Anime and I was so pleased with this dub! I ended up enjoying it more overall, even if there are parts I enjoyed more in the original sub. I'm so happy to see a lot of the negativity for this dub disappearing. Not completely but...we're getting there.
@@kitana5583 Thanks for sharing your feedback here.I really appreciate people that aren't afraid of conveying what they feel about this anime/manga series. This dub proved to be crafty, not as perfect or polished or fitting for some characters (I don't really like Ishigami's voice sometimes or some of the secondary characters voices) it maintains the original tone of the anime while adding the wild humor of the narrator and all those hilarious media references and internet culture terms. I'm very glad about Alexis Tipton performance and I like Miyuki aswell. And chika has the voice I would have imagined. Hayasaka's british accent is also very fitting. I definitely want more dub for this anime on its 3rd season when it releases.
want me to grade that?
@@jeevansagoo7040 I mean if you want to yes
Honestly it was a good call to not try and completely imitate the original and instead make it sound more natural in English. This dub is great, and the reason it (mostly) hasn’t surpassed the original is because the voice acting in it was just THAT good (you don’t have to be able to speak Japanese to notice that)
Chika’s dub voice is so perfect
Jad Saxton is a gem.
They all are, this show was perfectly cast
Ian Sinclair is perfect as the narrator
When I found out that Jad Saxton was chosen for Chika, I thought to my self, “You know what? That makes sense.”
@@sakurabloomltd.8667 The best part is that you wouldn’t think it would at first, since Jad specializes in voicing bossy or apathetic characters like Carla or Hanajima. It kind of blew me away that she was such a good Chika, and now I can’t think of anyone that could have done it better!
6:32 To me, that is the funniest line in the English dub!

Dubs today are really good
Kei and Miyuki's relationship is the first sibling relationship I see in an anime that genuinely feels like a sibling relationship. Wanting to know about your brother's love life but not wanting to ask because that's really awkward is something I definitely felt before. And while I didn't get mad at him about it, I did get mad at my sister because she broke up with a guy I really liked (which is really not my concern, I know, I grew up since). Almost certain the author himself has a sister because it's spot on.

a lot of people's issue with the dub is how much more emotive the narrator is, but that was honestly one of the biggest draws for me. It was like I was watching the show with a friend who was laughing at the absurdity with me
People take issue with it? Literally the narrator is the best part, he's literally the main character and it's top-tier lmao
The narrator in the sub is just as emotive for a lot of stuff. They just say it in a way that unless you’re a native speaker of the language you wouldn’t get it or it’s hard to translate it. The English dub narrator is great at bridging the gap towards a western audience to make it just as funny as the sub

It’s pretty interesting how different the sub and dub version of the narrator is. The sub narrator narrates everything super seriously and never breaks narrating everything as if it’s 1000% serious which makes it all the funnier. The dub version is basically his own character and reminds me of a goofy friend who’s given free reign to point out all the jokes over his friends life. I somewhat prefer the sub version since I think it makes sense since the serious angle is how the characters see their own world. But dub version can seriously leave me cackling at least three times an episode. There are a few times where I think he’s a little much but that only happened like twice and he gives a lot more laughs.
I don’t speak Japanese. So the inflection in that language means nothing to me.
I have no idea what word is meant to be stressed or what it means.
I’d way rather watch a dub if it’s available. Especially newer shows. Dubs have been getting much better. A lot more care.
