And now its the other way round and now its the weebs that are the ones that have to tell others (tourists) that anime girls aren't real? im so sick of people treating fictional characters like they are real and real people like they are fiction.
At one time, I would’ve taken their opinions seriously, now I assume they are barely better than animals in terms of intelligence
I prefer it when I can, but there are some things that I just can't do in the original language if I don't speak it.
for video games, I like to be able to understand what people are saying while the game play is happening, and that's very difficult to do without breaking focus to read subtitles. not to mention a lot of games have multiple people talking at once, which is even more difficult with subtitles.
some anime I can't do in the original language either. The biggest one that comes to mind is legend of the galactic heroes. the show is fantastic and very well thought out, but there are so many people and names to keep track of that the show gets very exhausting to watch if you don't know the original language. I've been waiting on the remake because it has a dub, and is pretty faithful to the original.
I appreciate your perspective on this and I agree that more complex dialogue does become taxing in a foreign language and it wouldn't be so in english.
