Nope. But you are just missing out on the good stuff for years.
Most of the best Japanese Animation is released only in Japanese until it is clearly a hit; then the license is sold to another company for international distribution. Unless there the release is widely anticipated (following smash hit manga sales or a huge director) then there is a time lag of years. Some good stuff never even gets an English language release.
A real weeb wants the good stuff as soon as they can get it, and they want the original, funny jokes rather than the shitty translated jokes.
The standards of Japanese voice artists are very high, and a lot of that comes through as comic timing and excellent character voice.
You can watch all the dubs you want. You are waiting for Funimation (or whoever) to tell you what you should watch. You are just not a weeb.
Let me put this out there. The only subs I’ll ever watch are ones not released in the US and if they are released in the US, and no dub, then it has to be fan translated. I don’t fuck around with that funimation or crunchy roll nonsense.
Now don’t expect me to pick up on all of that niche weeb bullshit because nobody else knows about it. I’m not a fuckin hipster. If it looks badass and other people are talking about it then I’m checking it out. I don’t have enough time in the day to work, take care of my kids, play my PS1/PS2 games, and watch some anime. It’s already bad enough I got a large backlog of anime in my Plex library.
So you can miss me with that weeb title. I don’t need it.
It isn't that hard to keep up to date on the genre and quality of an expected release.
Everything worth watching gets fan subs.
I am not going to tell you how to enjoy your hobby, but it is not a huge effort to check the buzz and watch a show on a streaming site. It is about as hard as watching Netflix.
On top of that some dubs some really stupid and ruin the original character
Like listen to what the character in purple sounds like in the English version verses the Japanese version
Its night and day and the English dub sounds stupid. He sounds cool in the Japanese version but i couldnt take the English dub seriously. Actually the entirety of Yugioh Arc V dub was kinda a mess
Who watches dubs?
Turn in your Weeb card, immediately.
I watch dubs. Sometimes. We have beef?
No beef, only sushi.

You are no match for my godspeed, henshitsu mono! Make your time!
I exclusively watch dubs. I’m the laziest motherfucker alive and Korean dramas have conditioned me to accept absurdly bad voice acting.
Dubs is gay as hell.. no one can dub something like azumanga or nichijou.
