  • I feel you. I’ve always preferred subs. There’s just so much missing in the dubs. The tone of voice and such never translates for some reason. (I’m not sure it has to be that way. If the voice actors just… did a better job of preserving how the original language emoted, and the people overseeing them let them do a better job, then I’d imagine dubs could be fine.)

    I’m really into Critical Role lately and all of the folks on Critical Role are voice actors, and most of them do a lot of anime. Liam O’Brien voiced Gaara in the English dubbed Naruto, for instance. And I feel a little bad because I consider myself to be fans of all the Critical Role folks, and I love the voices they use in Critical Role, but god I can’t stand dubbed anime. Even roles they play. Given that they’re great in Critical Role and terrible in anime, I have to imagine there’s some reason out of their control why dubs just can’t be “good”.

    The other thing about all this. I don’t tend to “just” watch anime these days. I put anime on while I’m doing other things. But I can’t read subs and do other things at the same time. The result of all that is mostly that I watch less anime than I used to. I spend more of my time watching stuff that is natively in English that I can most-listen-to and glance at every few minutes. (Like Critical Role. Sorry, I didn’t mean this post to end up being an ad for Critical Role. Lol.)

    But when I watch anime, I still watch it subbed because I can’t stand dubs.

    Speaking of which, it’s high time I watch some anime. (But I can’t right now because I’m trying to at least finish campaign 2 of… wait for it… Critical Role before they start campaign 4.)








  • I’m not sure I’ve ever worn a pair of pants that didn’t do that. That’s just something pants do. To the point that nobody is going to see that and think you’ve got a boner. (Unless you do, of course, but even then probably only if you’re in a position that wouldn’t ordinarily produce that wrinkle/bulge or your boner is visible in a different spot than that wrinkle/bulge or something.) I wouldn’t worry about it. Even if you do some fancy tailoring to address it, I think what you’ll end up with will look worse than it would if you did nothing.

    As he stands unresponsive you close your trunk and pull away. The tatters of his mind don’t even wonder if it was real or imagined. It matters not.

    He seeks solice in drink and shortly thereafter narcotics, but no anesthetic suffices. Even unconsciousness provides no escape from the grip of that of which he should never have known.

    Perhaps not even death will.
