#does this mean a dub?

[beanghostprincess]

When Robin was first introduced, she had been working with Crocodile in Alabasta for the past several years, so I could understand her skin tone being a little lighter than it used to be, but not this bad.

It's extremely fucked up. I would understand the "it was an animation error" argument if it wasn't because it happens with all the characters (not only Robin) and they're whiter and whiter each episode (even the characters that should be black).

If we follow irl reasoning as you say, then all of them should be tanned because they're pirates. They're constantly under the sun. But no, they go backward and instead, they lack melanin every episode. It was already bad, but Egghead fucked up big time.

And don't get me started on Usopp because people could use that excuse on any other character, but Usopp?? I truly, really, don't think it takes too much thinking to get that he's black and Toei just keeps making him paler than Sanji. It's ridiculous and racist and people who ignore it or say it's been talked "too much" (because people say it and apparently there's a limit for them as to how much you can complain about racism) always get on my nerves.

What Toei is doing is just disgusting and people defending it are always the ones who refuse to see any mistakes in the things they like. News flash! You can like something and admit it has mistakes.

#also people are always so violent when they use the “error” argument. okay. whatever you say. calm down. god forbid characters have melanin #usopp's thing is just fucking horrible it makes me want to throw up #he's paler than ME. and i am white. sanji skin type of white. what the fuck is toei doing #and people trying to defend it are just-- awful. jacob did not play usopp for you to deny he's black i mean- #but also it was obvious from the very beginning #usopp's character has always been treated like shit in many ways. both in the fandom and within the story (opla when i fucking catch you-) #i'd write about it because i have things to say but a lot of the stuff would be way better written obviously by somebody who isn't white #so if somebody does write an essay or a post about usopp's character and how he's treated i'd like to read it #and maybe i could help a lil bit? because i have things to say about him (<- is obsessed with analyzing characters) and also uhhh #i'm spanish and the spanish dub is fucking awful to usopp and very racist and people don't talk about it but i think i could provide info #anyway this is SO long i am so sorry fuck toei my final message hate toei #one piece #usopp #nico robin

Holding hands

Loosely based on "Hand Holding" by Shel Silverstein:

Somebody said, “Lets all hold hands,”

So Lee held hands with Jean.

And Jean also held Helen’s hand

While she held hands with Dean.

Dean’s other hand held Sharma Joy’s

While she held hands with Lee.

So tell me just how did I wind up

Holdin’ hands with me?

welp. it’s yo-kai over for all of us who enjoyed the dubbed… time to start looking around for who’s hosting it on their website.

and for the love of everybody, don’t post any of the sites you find on here, we don’t want them getting taken down too.

we’re as equally desperate for the yo-kai watch dubbed anime to resurface as you are. however, find a different way in messaging each other about the site, just not publicly though like a post, gotta make sure the big men up there doesn’t play the “I’M TELLING MOM ON YOU GUYS!!” card on us.

Also, as a safety measure, I, @lesbianjibanyan/Whis, will find whatever website is hosting all of the dubbed episodes, screen record them or even download them, and upload all of them onto a Google Drive for everyone to use!! WHICH, funny enough, isn’t the first time I had to do something for a show I deeply cared about, worrying that it would become lost media. (*cough cough* robot and monster *cough* foster’s home for imaginary friends… *cough* the latter half DID get removed off of its respective streaming services, funny enough, hulu being one of them, and only being able to buy on any streaming services that allows you to buy shows or movies *BIG COUGH*)

soooo yeah! looks like that’ll give me something busy to do as I’m making time for myself! (since I’m posting this while I’m on break from tumblr, which has been really helping! ^_^) and, of course, I’ll make sure not to overwork myself as well too!

hoping that everything will get better… this really seemed like an unneeded bump in the road for all of us. :/

#☆ (it’s time to make history!) #yo kai watch #ykw #yo-kai watch #I ain’t letting my fandom go down. Not like this. I will figure out how to bring the dubbed anime back if that’s the last thing I’ll ever d #A little dramatic of me but that’s how serious I am. #This is my home. Even the franchise is my home. I’m not going to let it wilt away in the ashes and rubble that it’s trapped in #I’m going to bring it back to its former glory so I can show to so many other people how much it means to me #Even despite its flaws at times it still has so many other things that makes it… I dunno… Lovable. And I’m strictly talking about #the dubbed anime over here because MAN does it has a lot of things that make you go 😬

I hope y'all are holding up good! I'd like to give Hershey a funny desk lamp, like the one from the P.I.X.A.R. logo but red. Don't worry about the label that says "Ray" on it :)

#lego monkie kid #lego monkie kid fanart #monkie kid #monkie kid fanart #lmk #lmk fanart #blue and violet #she does not understand what it is other than dubbing it as a 'light maker' #she is very keen to investigate its purpose #in other words she likes the gift #I had initially thought that the P.I.X.A.R lamp was an ordinary desl lamp #but when I googled it I realised that it is in fact not very ordinary #so in other to save my sanity I tried to make a watered down simplified version of it lol #still looks a little funky but I mean hey a lamp is a lamp

[overobsessedfanboy23]

For those unaware, this scene was savage in the sub as well:

#yugioh #ygo #yugioh gx #ygo gx #gx #judai yuki #jun manjome #the dub clip is funny too #not dub bashing for once lmao #though I will note that Judai isn't intentionally taunting in the sub #JP Judai does this thing where he'll say something that sounds insanely mean but he means it in a kind way #he just... doesn't seem to get how his words can come across sometimes #which is insanely relatable honestly

[oh-meow-swirls]

everything involving robonyan and b3-nk1 is so hilarious if you think about it. yea in the future jibanyan is a gay ass robot with a robot boyfriend. but also robonyan keeps being retconned out of existence so who knows anymore honestly-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #robonyan #b3-nk1 #first shadowside retconned his existence and then y-school heroes did. y-school heroes esp did #haven't watched shadowside but i mean. if meeting amy again made jibbers turn into his og series form for a bit #i feel like meeting nate again also would realistically (potentially for longer) and nate dying is why jibanyan became robonyan in the dub #so who knows. shadowside confuses me greatly. and y-school heroes also does i know it's meant to be canon but i just #can't see it that way. what is up with it

[todayisafridaynight]

would it be okay if u told me why u like aoki😭/gen😭😭😭😭BEEN TRYNA LIKE HIM FOR SO LONG I JUST CANTT but i love ur art so much so i still consume it otherwise lol

i liked tohru adachi in high school and tbh i think that alone is enough of an explanation for why i ended up liking aoki

#snap chats #haha see i told you last post's tags were relevant #anyway vLKVJEVLKAEJVLKJ IM CRYING ANON youre so funny. this is the funniest ask i coulda got thank you so much #i dont know why i like him either <- yes i do #fine lets get Real Talk about it #well first off all i thought he looked hot rolling out the elevator and i was playing the eng dub and i think his voice sounds hot there #and thats like. not athing that happens to me ever <- literally thought sawashiro was hot two frames into the game but anyway #i like politician characters. or characters that are in a position of power ESPECIALLY if they have to act like they dont suck balls #like i very much love the idea of the power of charisma and that type of thing not to mention the 'strategizing' as aoki puts it #that comes with politics. LIKE HE SUCKS DONT GET IT TWISTED HE SUCKS BUT //shrug emoji// #like its why i love the mine rggo stories i like seeing mine's thought process and how he uses his intelligence #smart's sexy to me idk what to tell you but moving on #its fun watching him lose his cool too ESP IN HIS FIGHT LMAO HE STOMPIN HIS FOOT LIKE A TODDLER SHUT UP #i also really love the arakawa family in general and thinking of aoki's relationship with each of them makes my brain explode #especially him and sawashiro that shit is painful to watch and i love it so much #i also thought him going from goth to republican was the funniest shit in the world like i howled at that AND i was distraught #aokis so interesting to me from the notion that he IS loved by his family but he has so much hatred for himself it eats him up #and as a result he cant be happy no matter what he does- how hes constantly seeking validation even if it's nothing meaningful #his lil. Dog-Eat-Dog world world belief to ichi also appealed to my edgy depressed high schooler brain. sorry. #his speech at the lockers also got to me. unfortunately. sorry everyone i empathized too hard it got too real it wasnt funny anymore #like as much as i complain bout the very end the ending is what solidified me liking aoki if not also cause of ichi's impact in those scene #plus... analyzing him and the environment around him is so much fun too.... #idk reasons for why i like aoki also boil down to personal reasons. he still sucks tho so i cant be upset when people hate him LOL #i probably have more reasons or could elaborate more i love rambling but i mean. who really wants to read all that 💀💀 #maybe for a character that WASNT the worst but. aoki is so LMAO #thank you for loving my art regardless :) im sorry i have to be attached to the worst guys ever

[tackyink]

It's been wild to follow a youtuber chronicling his first readthrough of YYH, saying he specifically wanted to read the manga because he wanted to know what Togashi had been up to prior to HxH, and enjoying it a lot, and then look at the comment section to find every time people telling him to switch to the anime because it's so much better.

#the anime is not better #it's different #it murders the characters of keiko shizuru and koenma and erases atsuko #and i have Opinions™ about what it does with kurama's characterization in the last two sagas #otoh the cast is great the music is beautiful and george saotome is a blessing #(but also i know that by the anime is better most mean that the usa dub is better than any version closer to the og) #(which is another can of worms)

Do you ever just think about him and cry

Not a ship post

#he means the world to me #hot dog man my fucking beloved #yugioh vrains #cal kolter #shoichi kusanagi #i really hate how they changed this in the dub so it was just. kusanagi being pathetic and yusaku making fun of him #the dub does such a great disservice to serious moments like this just to make a few jokes and i hate it #its got some good moments in it yeah but would it be so much to ask for us to keep the scenes that make us cry serious #save the jokes for lighter scenes where it doesnt effect much smh

I am...baffled and disappointed.

I was watching a fansub of the first few Onepiece episodes, and was completely thrown off by them translating nakama as "friend". Like, no? That is not right. Just leave it as nakama please it's so much less offputting than Arlong going "Nami is my friend". That absolutely does not work.

Then on a whim I decided to google what fansubbers would still be using nakama, only to find at some point the fandom became absolutely poisonous about not only the term nakama, but leaving japanese in at all.

"It's a deliberate troll of old fansubbers!" "They just didnt' know how to translate it so they left it in." "It means friend/comrade/crew and they should just have used the REAL word!" "They thought leaving Japanese in made them edgy and cool"

Like...y'all realize YOU sound like the assholes here? Then of course there's the people who are like "You should never leave the japanese in the translation!" purists who I just don't understand. Misconception of words aside, because that is their OTHER argument, if you want it purely english, watch the dub maybe.

There ARE untranslatable concepts, and what I remember is fansubbers used to put their heart and soul into trying to convey the concept instead of literal translations. And sometimes, leaving the original term with a translation of subtleties works better. If you are mad at the fandom for assigning it further meaning beyond that (which I never really...picked up on? Nakama has different meaning for everyone, it's not a one-stop "closer than family" term?? Literally never heard anyone say that except for the people complaining that people say that), then I don't think you like fandom at all.

#personal opinions ahead #whine whine whine #it's just another arm of purity culture #which just makes me wish for sanity in this stupid-ass world #does it lead to hilarious things? #of course #but how joyful was 'keikaku means plan' for people? #how much fun did people have? #was anyone actually butthurt over it? not that i saw #i am just so tired #dubs are like nails on chalkboard for me personally #if you like them absolutely power to you but i do not #and translations like this give me the same 'unable to get into it' thrown off feeling #these are not english shows and they should not feel like it #if the subber had used different words for different situations i could have forgiven it tbh even though i prefer nakama #but arlong??? does not do friends #not like that at least #these bad guys are not yelling about their 'friends' when they are talking/belittling their crews #same thing about things like 'nii-san' #yes it literally means older brother but it's used in many other situations #and just putting the name in instead doesn't convey that #and saying 'bro' works in some situations but not most #just leave it in as a title like god damn #learn a little bit about a language you don't know why don't you #ugh rant over i guess

[goldentigerfestival]

boy does Fluri make me feel things. a lot of things. i love. them.

#GTF Things #sometimes I wanna just write like. this gigantic post abt them. and why their relationship is perfected in context #but with the context of all the side material too? like drama CDs and the movie and the novel #bc plot/story inconsistencies aside it all really adds up in a straight line and creates an amazing story of their relationship #and for the life of me I cannot stop thinking about how all of it adds up into this super deeply realistic relationship #like it's not idealized. it's not perfect. it's not a shiny happy little ship where everything goes perfectly #it has all the bad moments where they still love each other through it but they DO hurt each other without truly meaning to #it's just that sometimes i wanna talk abt the depth of their relationship and how it goes so much deeper than #just what we got in the game but how all of it cumulates into what we have in the game from beginning to end #and how everything in the game (JP bc the dub removed a LOT of important tone between them vocally) #does also have a full progression of their relationship that ends in their favor and probably wouldn't EVER be rocky again after that #like I think by the end of the game they've come out on top of any possibility of ever letting that happen again #the unfortunate part is really just. idk who cares abt reading ship essays or who cares abt Fluri #except like idk five people LMAO. I know I'm kinda new here and don't know many ppl but #I legitimately don't know many ppl who care abt the ship at least particularly deeply as an OTP #but narratively speaking they are literally one of my favorite ships ever bc of how deep the content for them goes

someone: [refers to any Link other than the one in Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask as the Hero of Time and/or refers to any Zelda other than the one in Skyward Sword as Hylia's reincarnation]

me: "I am going to gnaw through their arm like a beaver would a tree"

#it's SO ANNOYING it is literally my BIGGEST pet peeve #there is only ONE Hero of Time & that is the one from Ocarina/Majora! #the others are Heroes of DIFFERENT THINGS #and the ONLY Zelda that is a goddess reborn as a mortal is the one in Skyward Sword! #the others are HER DESCENDANTS #Demise cursed ZELDA'S BLOODLINE - ''the blood of the goddess'' means THE CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN ETC ETC THAT CAME FROM HER #and fucksake in Wind Waker - the first mainline game to come after Majora's Mask - that Link is SPECIFICALLY dubbed the Hero of WINDS #if you play a NG+ to get the ancient Hylian translated they even specifically say he's NOT the Hero of Time and HAS NO RELATION to him #these games are not hard to understand! why does no one read the effing text!!! #AGH!!!!!!!! #(also the Spirit of the Hero is the unbreakable will - it's not the same person reincarnated again and again) #(the only one that is the ACTUAL same person is Ganon) #(and even then - by the time BotW takes place he's become so corrupted over the cycles that he's not really a *person* anymore) #(but just an entity of pure malice) #i just. it frustrates me so much. this is such a petty thing to get annoyed abt but it ANNOYS ME SO MUCH #anyway #oh also Twilight Princess is the PROOF that the Hero is not reincarnated over & over again #bc the Hero's Shade?

If I had a nickel for everytime a VA for one of my favorite characters from a show/game also voiced one of the characters I hate from another source of media, I'd only have two nickels, which isn't a lot but would probably be a lot higher if I took the time to look at all of them.

#This is specifically for the English VA's of Reigen and Zhongli #Chris Niosi voices both Reigen Arataka (mp100) and Shaiapouf (hxh) #I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE STUPID UGLY SHOWER POOF #And then Keith Silverstein does Zhongli (gi) and Hisoka (hxh) #Once you learn you can never unhear it #But luckily Matthew Mercer (Leorio my beloved) would never do such a thing #I mean he also voices Levi (although I still haven't watched aot) #I realize I'm outing myself as a dub listener but I have a good explanation #Share your worst VA discoveries. Whoever breaks me the most wins #hunter x hunter #hxh #mob psycho 100 #mp100 #genshin impact
