Be happy. In Belgium not a single episode of Journeys has aired here.

Hidden Mew said:The dub comes up, but not as much and mostly just as comparisons or to see how people react to voices or certain lines. I just don't really see a lot of reactions to the dub compared to the Japanese version as far as major events go, even when the anime had a weekly release. The Netflix release method doesn't help matters
Yes, you were and clearly still are.
Given that not all of the anime on Netflix have subs available, I'm not sure how much pressure they could put on TPCI or if it would even matter since it still probably wouldn't be up to anyone besides TPCI.
Yash said:Anytime there's a poor dub of something, the problem is almost totally alleviated as long as the original version is made to be just as accessible. Even 4Kids eventually relented, and now the terrible dubs of Yu-Gi-Oh! or Sonic X can just work as funny little curiosities for fans of the Japanese versions. It's hard for me to get all rile up about the various story and music changes they made to those shows when you can just watch the uncut originals with a Crunchyroll or Hulu subscription.
No no no. You made a poorly worded post, and so I pointed that out in a very plain and straightforward way. That is not rude, or me jumping down your throat, or being condescending.
Dogasu said:About 99.9997% of the anime on Netflix have Japanese audio + subs available, which is why I said "basically every other studio."
And while there is a point where yes, it is up to TPCi to do the right thing and join the 21st century, my point is that Netflix isn't completely powerless here and could be applying *some* pressure.
Not that great of a title if you ask me.
I kinda prefer the french title, but nevermind.
Same here. There's just something that's fun with talking about the dub weekly but alas the "You must binge it all and then wait for an eternity for the next batch!" curse has consumed Pokémon and now dub wise it almost always turns into a deserted ghost town once new episodes are up. Shame really.Giving my whole two cents on the Netflix thing as the "dub guy", I definitely agree and hate the binge format. When it was weekly on DXD we had something to look forward to. It's clear the binge format has pushed away the remaining dub fans away somewhat, such as myself, just by looking at the threads here on the forums. They are completely barren. It's clear there is hype from this thread, but not enough.
Personally, it's hard to get excited anymore, I really hate saying that but it's true. Alongside irl ambitions, this was one of the reasons why I retired my Twitter account, because I couldn't keep padding out content for 3 month intervals. I probably won't go much longer on the forums either.
Yeah. Dub discussions are almost dead due to their ways of releasing episodes. I do think that they should go back to the one episode a week format.As far as the dub threads here goes, they have been pretty barren before Journeys too. There might have been more discussion for some of the major episodes, but most of the discussion was focused on any edits or changes from the Japanese version more so than anything else since at least XY. The Netflix release certainly hasn't helped dub fans here in that regard, but I don't think that the discussion would be significantly different if it was back to a weekly release, especially when most users here are more focused on Japanese version.

The only option left is simuldubbing, but I'm not sure if that would work.If you read my post, I said that the dub discussions here were already minimal before Netflix started to release the series. That method obviously isn't helping the matter, but dub threads for the last couple of series have been pretty barren. There are usually pages of discussions for the Japanese episodes, while dub episodes are lucky to get two. Even then, most of the discussion were on edits, lines and changes made for the dub instead of the actual episode. I don't think a weekly release format is going to make a huge difference as far as dub discussions go here.

Hidden Mew said:How is saying "Having official subs to go with the dub would be pretty neat though." a poorly worded statement?
