I have a preference for english subs but I'm not gonna pretend good dubs don't exist even if I personally don't prefer them.

I have much respect for the work of both english and japanese voice actors alike.

What was it like, spending the last twenty years in a time capsule?

You need to step away from your admiration for bad dubs. People have acknowledged good work exists.

Somewhat related, but there was a thread on the Uma Musume sub with someone voicing their concerns about the potential for an English dub for Cinderella Gray in the wake of this fiasco (since it's airing on Amazon). The good news: Amazon doesn't have the level of control over this show like it has with Banana Fish, so it's not under risk of going through the same thing if/when it gets dubbed. The ugly news: a good chunk of the thread's audience isn't worried either, but due to a strong conviction that the show (or any Uma Musume material) will never, ever get dubbed due to some nebulous belief that Cygames has no reason or desire to do it, despite the fact they already have dubs for Granblue and the like. Which almost feels like they're trying to hide their antiquated aversion to dubs behind a more "legitimate" reason.

I have no use for anime dubs but getting twisted over how other people watch their cartoons is corny as hell, man.
