      I’m reaching a point where I’m exclusively watching dubbed. It’s gotten better in the past decade now that anime companies have a bigger budget to hire better trained voice actors.

      Frieren and Delicious in Dungeon English VAs are amazingly spot on.

      That used to be the norm, but many newer anime (and older popular ones) have great dub VA talent.

      Depends on anime and country. English dubs just sound off in nearly everything to my non-native ears. Brazilian dubs, on the other hand, often hit a good spot, but that could be nostalgia and/or bias. Portuguese dubs, on the other hand… Dear lord, just no.

      The original VAs dont speak my language. Why even have sound if I’m not going to understand what they say.
