Yeah I'm not in total agreement with this thread's anti-localization stance. Sometimes you can convey nuance, and sometimes not. That's fine. I prefer subs, and it's why I studied Japanese. But I can accept some things have to be changed in a localized dub. I just don't want translators injecting their politics and totally changing the intent. I wouldn't change sushi to hamburgers, but I'd prefer a very Japanese pun get changed to something that is funny in America instead of keeping weirdly literal dialogue.
