A PV of the upcoming English dub for beloved romance anime Akagami no Shirayukihime has unsurprisingly incited the usual “dub versus sub” arguments amongst fans, with the anime’s arrival in the west sure to garner it further popularity regardless of the dub’s quality.
The English-laden PV:
You know what’s great about Dubs?
Answer: Now idiots can watch.
Easier to watch drunk?
Like me!
LOL. Whelp, weebs unite. I could give a f♥♥k less about dubbed games, let alone dubbed anime. *shrug* Hey, to each his/her/its own, ne? Ne?
You know what’s great about dubs?
NOTHING!
*jazz hands and rainbows*
This is a decent anime. It’s somewhat standard fair as far as shoujos go. As usual you have your perfect guy prince that’s gonna end up with her one way or another. Shirayuki actually has a lot of backbone for a female shoujo protagonist. If this was about 3-5+ years ago, I would call that unusual, but frankly it’s not. Akatsuki no Yona and other shoujos had a strong female protagonist, too. Maybe they realized that they could cash in on the current feminist craze, and that people were getting tired of female protags that just got strung along by some rich, perfect guy.
I’d say the strong point is that the characters are slightly more believable in some ways… but overall the world is still just too idealized. For instance, the main protagonist males are literally invincible, as usual. They’re also always on the good side. There’s just really no tension or anything. It’s a decent/good shoujo, that’s about it. It is what it is.
Except the Manga it is base on was 4-5 years ago so while I am not sure how old akatsuki no yona is the series itself is one of the first to do it.
welll this anime sux. like really. why would anyone want to dub this thing?
so should i watch this or not? Im hearing mixed reviews
Season 2 is currently airing, so definitely worth a watch.
Well, almost all of hollywood movies sux (in my opinion) but they are still exported and get dubbed into other languages.
If something isn’t my cup of tea means I shall throw insults around?
sorry for being so shallow T_T
that’s what you think.
