the japanese dub is funny because it feel likes it’s being taken serious but the english dub feels like he’s having fun and is on crack

[@lucariosom1267]

this is it

[@johnathonhernandez3219]

I never thought the English dub narrator would be my favorite 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joshuan.]

When I first heard the dub in a KZbin video, I thought it was an abridged parody. Imagine my delight when I found out it was the official dub! I actually dropped Love is War during the S1 simulcast but kinda binged both seasons of the dub.

[@pauloazuela8488]

Yeah the JP is in it's own thing while the EN dub is compilation of memes being put to good use. Can't go wrong with both of them

Ian Sinclair is, by far, the only man in current anime dubbing that can sound like he is on meth without actually taking a hit.

Fun Fact: in the first episode of the English dub of Space Dandy, Dandy (who is voiced by Ian Sinclair as well) jokes about the narrator and says "how do I get a job like that?"

[@arundas8870]

Space dandy was gold

[@elimDBZ]

I am giving away a very huge spoiler by saying this so please look away if you haven't seen space dandy. In the final Episode dandy speaks with the narrator of his anime who is in truth god. God asks dandy if he wanted to take over his job as god to which dandy declines. Needless to say with the theme of Space Dandy, Dandy chose to become God and Kaguya Sama is the space dandy sequel.

When I first heard his voice in Golden Kamuy as Saichi Sugimoto and Nanbaka as Hajime Sugoroku, he is the most versatile VA among the male voice actors.. and in Kaguya as the Narrator, I couldn't care less about the rumor but his humor made my funny bones tickle.. That's my idol, though..

Ian Sinclair getting progressively more informal with his narration through each season, is why I could power through the dub.

[@rass8209]

Im sure they just give the narrator a brief overview of what's happening and the narrator does what he feels like doing

[@ProtoPropski]

Yup, they're likely just giving him full reign, and I love it

[@BlueBlazeKing]

They gave him the dub script without narration and told him to watch the sub for a base on what to say. Other than that he was free to do whatever he wants
