Problems with English Dub 2



English dub has ruined the name of anime ever since it first started. Why can't America deal with subs like the rest of the world? Has their pride blinded their senses? Anyways, this section's subject will be on the quality of dubbing between the Japanese and the English.

One of the many things that make anime look bad in America is the bad dubbing they do. The voice actors don't really bring out as much expression as they should. A regualar yell of pain is replaced with a simple "Ouch, that hurt.". There is also the issue of matching the words to the mouth of the characters being played. You can sometimes see that the character's mouth and words in english dub do not exactly sync with each other.

I believe one of the reasons that english dub is bad is that America tries to aim most anime towards an audience of children. I guess the voice actors did not feel to well motivated in their roles. I think most of the voice actors are just there for some money. When will the US Anime Studios realize they should hire real voice actors to do the job? They know anime is murdering US Animation/Cartoons. Why not just give anime the credit it deserves? If the US wants an English Dubbed Version of Anime, why can't they just hire some voice actors who are actually skilled?
