#maybe the studio thought it would be impossible to bridge the culture gap for americans

[marklikely]

the other day i found out that ghost stories was not. originally a flop and in fact was really successful in japan when it first aired so there was literally no reason for the english dub to be Like That.

#this is a level of like. world shattering revelation that i dont often experience in my adult life. like WHAT #WHY DID THEY DUB IT LIKE THAT THEN. i mean i looked into it a lot and all i can find is that the adr lead is. deranged. #like a real doug walker type of guy who i guess just gets unprecedented levels of control on his dubs apparently. whadda hale. #avpost #the only other explanation i could find is that ghost stories is so deeply based on a lot of yokai background knowledge that #maybe the studio thought it would be impossible to bridge the culture gap for americans #but thats just smth people speculated on reddit theres no indication from any official source that that was the case #its mostly just that the guy running the dub is a south park brainrot weirdo with an obscene ego and no respect for other creators. #so he'll be like yeah my dubs are inaccurate teehee i made your show better w my epic funny meme guy brain. #elon musk -core dude omfg. #hes doing the thing that makes me fucking insane where management in entertainment brags about being bad at their jobs #like lol my job is to make a faithful localization and i take pride in doing that badly :-) ok. well its your job so stop doing that.
