    The dance between Fern and Stark was simply superbly done. The whole series is a flex by studio Madhouse but that scene is a topper. The transition where during a turn Fern goes from a neutral expression to a smile is one of my favorite bits from the entire season.

    100% agree about Frieren's voice in dub, Suraj. For me she sounds way too intentionally "badass" while in the native sub she's just existing doing her normal thing and the coolness is just a byproduct of it, which imo fits her character much better.

      The dub misses the bits of Anya from SxF's gremlin energy that seeps in to the Japanese VA's performance.
      The rest of the dub is pretty good outside of one character I think they miscast later on.

    I wouldn't say the dub is bad perse, but the Sub blows it out the water by miles & it's mostly because the dub doesn't capture the same personality for Frieren. One, it's clearly the voice of an older, deeper voiced woman, and that automatically changes the delivery. Frieren comes off as aloof & unassuming in the Sub, as opposed to the dub, she just sounds edgy.
    I've noticed "edginess" is a constant trope American voice actors go for, whereas, Japanese voice actors are more fluid.

    I'm pretty solidly a sub guy, but I know a lot of times the difference between how a sub and dub is played has to do with the how the VA's are directed more so than the VA's themselves. For some reason dub directors will take a character that's very unemotional, like Freiren, and have the VA play it with more emotion and then, conversely, take highly emotional characters and tone them down in the dub.

      IMO, English dub places too much emphasis on that. Accurate translation is more important.

    • @MadMadNomad
      @MadMadNomad 14 дней назад

      I'm with you on this one. What's more distracting, lips that don't quite match, or weirdly phrased, unnatural sounding English that's been awkwardly contorted to match the rhythms of a completely different language? I feel like long time dub viewers get used to it, but it pulls me right out of a show. And then, yeah, there's the extra words and phrases thrown in that change the tone and meaning of lines. If you've ever watched a dub with the subs still on, they can be VERY different, to the point of obscuring important plot and character information, or changing the intention behind scenes. I realise translation is an art, and that 1:1 is often not possible, but i'd rather the primary focus be preserving the original intention as much as is possible in natural-sounding English. If that means some people's lips are moving after they stop talking, Fine. Its much less jarring than shoving a bunch of extra words into a sentence that didn't need them, and forcing your voice actors to talk like robots.
