Why is dubbed anime considered bad?
In my opinion, I feel most just follow the general opinion. They hear someone say, “Hey, dubs are total shit,” and they go about repeating the same.I’m not out to hurt anyone’s sentiments though. I just can’t bring myself to respect anyone who dismisses the whole process of ‘dubbing’ in roughly half a second without even thinking about it.It’s quite alright though, if someone always recommends subs over dubs. It’s their opinion. As an anime fan, you should try both out, see which you like better and off you go!Dubbing doesn’t just involve straight-up translating the words. They need to match the words with the ‘mouth-flaps’ so a fair amount of distortion happens. In certain shows, this becomes catastrophic. In shows like Gintama, with a lot of cultural, and pun-based humor, the dubs only do half the job, really.And in other cases, like Dragon Ball Z, the dubs change the tone of the show, subtly at some places and to a large extent in others.With Masako Nozawa voicing Goku and the original soundtrack in the Japanese version, there is a more ‘light-hearted, fun’ feel. On the other hand, with Sean Schemmel in the dub, and Bruce Faulconer’s electronic and rock influenced sounds, DBZ becomes a more serious, tense anime, especially around the Cell saga.One can argue both sides of the issue here. It’s all up to taste, finally.The ‘difficult to read and watch’ is a rather common complaint for people who don’t watch subs often. Before you know it you would’ve adapted. If you are really finding it difficult and it’s becoming a major hindrance to your enjoyment, try watching a few Shonen series, more reliant on action rather than dialogue to ease yourself in.Thank you, and enjoy!
Why hate dubbed anime?
It's cause some animes really suck dub or the translations can ruin the story. Because the literal translation may not mean the same thing in Japan has it means in English. For example in Gurren Lagann in final episode Simon says " my drill is the one who creates the heavens." When he should have said my drill is the one who pierce's the heaves. Good Shows that we're ruined by dubs that created this hate card captors it went from 70 eps to 40 in the USA, others Yugioh, One Piece, I mostly like dubs & dislike subs but I do understand why so many people hate dub. Also a lot of times they get the wrong voice actors for chars voice. If you watch comic book party revolution, & from what I hear Naruto, Negima, Salior Moon, Tears of Tirara. But I never, thought the voice acting to some of them were that bad, but a lot of people do.
Why do critics hate movies that audiences love?
This critic/audience divide does certainly come up a lot. And it’s mainly based on the fact that critics watch a lot of movies, so what might seem exciting and/or interesting to someone who sees a movie or two a month is something a critic has seen many times over and probably finds predictable.And, true, there is a snob factor involved in some cases, just as there is an anti-snob snob factor on the other side of the divide. I suffer from both types of snobbery at times. If I hear a movie trailer start with a faint violin in the background, I start to lose interest. Or if the word ‘Jackass’ is not a bit of dialogue, but a title.And opinions and intents of critics vary widely. Some critics are dedicated to telling mainstream audiences whether or not they will find this weekend’s movies worth their bucks. (But again, they have seen many more movies than those audiences and will round down their scores based on their own unconscious weariness with the same old tropes). Other critics are more interested in identifying films that have higher artistic merit. The trick is to find the critic that approximates your own tastes.There are plenty of films out there where audiences and critics find common ground in the meantime. Consider, for example, how many critics enjoy good animated films that children also enjoy. Find me a critic who has bad things to say about Jaws - the first runaway (swimaway?) blockbuster. Or the last couple of Batman films. Now, if you are reading a review and it says this phrase - “a penetrating character study” - you can probably stay away if you prefer plot-driven movies. And the truth is that audiences ‘get it wrong.’ A movie that is popular - just watch Speed years after the fact - doesn’t always hold up even a few years later. Critics get it wrong too. Sometimes they mistake seriousness with quality. I mean Chariots of Fire is a decent drama, but Raiders of the Lost Ark keeps on rolling.So you’re initial question is onto something, but there is a fair bit of nuance involved.
How can I criticize and analyze entertainment (movies, series, animes)?
To answer the first part of your question, to put it simply at the end of the day criticism is basically a negative opinion. So your question is basically how can you form a unfavorable opinion on an entertainment. Which is pretty much self explanatory. Whatever you dislike about it is your criticism on the entertainment.Now, analyzing is the part that make a criticism sounds more professional. Anyone can form a criticism without analysis.Ex. “I do not like this movie because the plot is boring.”that is an example of criticism without analysis. To put it simply, it is an opinion without backup. On the other hand, a analytical criticism would sound something like this.Ex. “I do not like this movie because the plot is unclear, and very slow paced. The entire movie felt disengaging as the plot seems to just circle back and forth without much progress throughout the entire movie, I felt that the characters barely address the main problem in the movie.”Now obviously the difference is not just in the length of the criticism, the reasoning behind your criticism is the main factor.Note that the example I use are things that I pulled out of my head in the process of answering this question. There is more to analytical criticism than just talking about the plot. A professional movie reviewer/critic focus on many more aspects of the media. The acting, special effects, settings, lightings, audio quality, runtime, climax and endings of a movie/series are some of the things they analyzed when forming a analytical criticism.Anime is a bit different because they are not real. Thus the things that are analyzed are usually more like; art style, voice acting, animation fluidity, colour contrast, and use of CG.of course there is more to list and Im still scratching the surface, not to mention different genres have different things to analyze. I hope this helps.
I’ve seen a lot of great anime dubs. Why do so many people hate on them?
I personally love dubbed, and I have been judged for loving it. There was a post on Facebook where it showed Touka’s brother from Tokyo Ghoul, and Eren from Attack on Titan. I had said,“Are they talking about subbed or dubbed, because I watch subbed. Because Todd Haberkorn voices Touka's brother, and Bryce Papenbrook voices Eren.”One person said dubbed, and I was greeted with…not good words.“Boo dub!”“You’re missing out!”Yeah, I’m missing out alright. I have Corpse Party on DVD, and since they have never dubbed it I have to watch it subbed. I feel like I'm missing out on what's going on, due to looking at the bottom of the screen. I don't know Japanese, so I have to read the subtitles while trying my best to keep track at what's going on. Sometimes I get a headache from having moved my eyeballs up and down constantly.Don’t me wrong, I do think that the Japanese voice actors are talented. I’ve been told many times by people that there are multiple reasons why most prefer subs; the two I’ve heard the most;1- Apparently, English dubs could take things differently in what's actually said. This is so the words can match the movement of the anime character. I’ve watched an episode of Black Butler dubbed with English subtitles, and I think they did pretty good with keeping the dialogue pretty close to the original.2- Getting voice actors to voice anime characters in Japan are more strict than they are in America.We each have our own preferences, and I think it's pretty sad that most people would critize those, like me, for only watching dubbed. So what if I do? You don't see us criticizing those who watch subbed. Besides, the dubbed voice actors must be doing SOMETHING right. There are a lot out there who have voiced video game characters as well. A few examples down below are a voice actor, and I included one anime character and one video game character that they have voiced. There's more who have done both, and ALOT of the dubbed voice actors have voiced characters in Borderlands 1 and 2.Brina PalenciaLaura BaileyMatthew MercerJ.

What is Bad about One Piece? Description.?
mslily I agree with what your saying but understand one thing, One Piece is not a kids show. It has a lot of violence and promotes smoking, alcohol use and has revealing clothing. The American version is made for kids but Anime shows in general are not kids shows.
Are most anime fans losers?
Honestly, I think it all depends on how you present yourself and your own reputation. I'm a black guy that's a HUGE anime and comic book fan. Now I don't go around parading it at school, but I'm not afraid to pop out a comic book or manga at lunch. If anyone looks at me skeptically and questions my activity I simply tell them the truth , loud and proud. If they show interest, awesome! I honestly don't care. I know who I am and what I like. The real "losers" are the so called cool people who insult stuff they don't even know about! I make liking anime and comics look GOOD. True some people go overboard and can't help but parade it around.....that's just not my thing or who I am. So you like you said, not ALL fans are losers. It's a completely ludicrous judgement. Personally, I prove those ignorant people wrong by presenting myself.
