kaguya dub going absolutely buck wild

The saga continues.....
First of all, thank you all so much for all the interest in these vids! It was honestly perfect timing that the season 1 dub came out last week and I was able to basically make this my 100/200/300 subscriber special. It's insane that I passed all that in a little over a month, so thank you so much again to everyone who's been watching, liking, or subscribing. I would not have grown without your interest/support, and I'm so glad you've enjoyed these silly little dub compilations as much as I have and I hope you like this one too. :)
Part 4 will be here shortly, hang tight!
Also! You can now follow me on twitter @the_emvp! It's mostly just art and memes, but I will also be posting vids there as well if that sounds like your speed.

I have a feeling the English Narrator winged that one 😂. I mean, you can feel the amount of "roasting" just from that line alone 😂. It's hard to convey such emotions only through voice unless you're either really talented, well-trained, or mix of both. That line and its delivery is usually easier to achieve when you're "in the moment" - kind of going off-script or candid in a way.

Because both are over-the-top, unnecessarily intense, and waaaay out of context that it was hilarious. Both used the same tactic but executed it differently that it became a defining part of the story and the interpretation brought about by translation and difference in culture. The Japanese narrated it like a mystery/thriller or crime documentary from another era while the English narrated it like he was consuming illegal substances while practicing for a youtube satirical commentary. Both over-the-top, unnecessarily intense, and hilariously out of context for an otherwise romantic show. It adds the com to the rom-com, making a full circle.

it's not so much that they made him pervier, it's just a lot less subtle when it's not literally translated.

Playing Fire Emblem: Echoes is what really pushed me into anime.

"a completely different kind of hilarious from the sub" It's basically not even the same show.

Which is unfortunate given how well done the sub is for this show.

[@skinnymelo]

@@Skapo It’s not unaware of the jokes, it has most of them and then some. The actual romance aspect is worse in the dub because Kaguya only seems to talk in one kind of emotion, but half the aspect of the show is comedy. And simply put the dub is more funny than the sub.

[@Skapo]

@@skinnymelo We will disagree into infinity on this one. Glad you enjoyed it. I didn't and felt it destroyed the vibe that the original gave off. You enjoy one thing. I enjoy another. But the show is not the same. Dub vs sub = two entirely different shows. For better or worse.

@@ProfTricky3168 Pretty much. The actual dialog in Japanese cartoons is incredibly unrealistic so to the usually poor writing the industry suffers.
