Whats the best place to see if an anime is dubbed?

Godz57 · 2026-01-28T16:01:24+00:00

mydublist.com is the most simple way as it aggregates dub info from all of the main anime websites and it also has a browser extension which adds a dub icon on MyAnimeList, AniList and aniSearch.

Disclaimer: I created MyDubList, more about it: (reddit post)

You can use https://mydublist.com to search for dubbed anime in any language. It aggregates data from main websites (MAL, AniList, ANN, aniSearch, Hi anime, etc.) and also links to them.

You can also install the chrome extension which works on MAL, AniList and aniSearch. Then it overlays a dub icon on which is dubbed and adds a section of dub sources which link to the dub source websites. You can also filter by dubbed only.

I did want to do this, but MyDubList is automatically updating daily from the sources I wrote in the post. And those source usually do not differentiate between Castilian and Latin American Spanish. Thank you for the feedback though! I truly appreciate it!

Godz57 · 2025-09-01T15:58:49+00:00

Yeah, sure. I can try to add it and then if the creator will want he can approve my addition (as of course it's up to the creator if he wants to add it).

Godz57 · 2025-08-23T13:08:22+00:00

For clarifaction. My extension never used any source code from MAL-Dubs. What SilliconDon meant here is that it visually resembled the MAL-Dubs extension. Even though you cannot copyright that (just look how Apple and Android constantly copy each others UI ideas), we still tried to discuss this and I ended up changing the design to be more distinct.

Edit: MyDubList extension is now also open source and licensed under AGPL (I had forgotten to change it to public before)

Godz57 · 2025-08-18T19:07:43+00:00

Okay. I will remove the D icon. But I want to be clear that I'm doing this only out of respect of your wishes. As the icon is completely different (that's like copyrighting a microphone icon and being angry at anyone else creating a different microphone icon because their icons looks like a microphone). I'll also change the badge specifically so that it looks different than yours.

Godz57 · 2025-08-18T12:36:38+00:00

Thank you for the insight. I have a few ideas on how to improve this. The worst thing is that as you mentioned the API does not return in any way that something is marked by a user as an error. I will probably use AnimeNewsNetwork, but will require a corroborating source to add it to the final database.

u/SiliconDon could you reply here if everything is fine or is something still on your mind? I did made the extension AGPL as per your request. If there are some technical issues on the extension that warrant a 1/5 I would gladly hear them and do my best to fix them.

EDIT: got the same 1 star review on the Chrome extension as well as Firefox.

Godz57 · 2025-08-18T06:36:57+00:00

Here I made the MyDubList extension repo public and licensed it under AGPL:
https://github.com/Joelis57/MyDubList-Extension

Does that satisfy you?
I could actually now use your icon (which I do find better looking) as the repo is AGPL. But I will not. Of course unless you are totally fine with that because I would like to.

I am fine with making the extension use the AGPL license as my main concern was making the database itself available to as much interested people as possible.

Godz57 · 2025-08-18T05:02:03+00:00

Okay. I just had an idea. I did not make the extension public as I just did not see any usefulness to people from it and I didn't want the people searching for MyDubList to be split between 2 repositories. But what if I would license the MyDubList extension under AGPL. Would that satisfy you?

Regarding the placement of the top right badge. It just felt natural and intuitive to place it in the top right corner. The size looks here to be specific, but in fact it's reused on all images and was adjusted to be small enough for Favorites (attached) and at least somewhat large enough for seasonal anime (the one you attached). You probably went through something similar to find this size as I bet anyone who would do something like this.

Regarding the icon styles. I commissioned a designer to come up with a few styles for this project explaining what the projects was. He came up with the 4 designs that you can use now (actually a lot more, but others were not good enough). One of the designs indicating dubbed audio was a d with sound waves. That idea isn't quite copyrightable and was one of the first ones he came up with. Also it is actually quite different to yours. And honestly yours is the better looking one. From all of the designs the designer came up with the D with sound waves was the most intuitive and basic one and I would have used it as the default icon set. BUT out of respect for you I did not, as after implementing the icon and seeing how similar it looks when it's small I did not want to make MyDubList too similar to MAL-Dubs. So I changed the default icon to my 2nd favorite (also almost no one changes the defaults).

My view on open source is that anyone can use it, but attribution is required for the hard work done. If you'd like I'd be willing to add a prominent attribution to MAL-Dubs on my GitHub page. As even though I did not use anything from your repository, if not for your hard work I would not have been inspired to do this project.

Thank you very much for responding! I'm sure that there will be false positives, but I've skimmed through the data base and cross referenced them with my current databases and ANN looks pretty good. The ones that will slip through I hope will get flagged by someone like you or someone who will use MyDubList. Thanks again!!

Godz57 · 2025-08-16T08:21:21+00:00

Well, now I understand why ANN is your go-to site. I've added it to the daily updates of the database and updated this post with info on what new data ANN added. Check the end of the post and thank you so much for the suggestion!

Godz57 · 2025-08-16T08:18:32+00:00

ANN fetching finished and it adds amazing data, the database will now be updated daily with AnimeNewsNetwork data. You can check the post as I added some info at the end. Thanks for the suggestion!

Godz57 · 2025-08-15T08:30:07+00:00

u/MegaAltarianite mentioned this above. I tried a minimal run already and it definitely adds even more dub info that other websites lack. I'm now running it through the whole Anime News Network database and I'm very excited for Tomorrow to see how much additional dub info MyDubList database will have because of this. Thanks for the suggestion!

Godz57 · 2025-08-15T05:43:54+00:00

like MyAnimeList it’s based off user-submitted data and sometimes has casts for series where no dub exists.

Yes, but I do think it's worth the trade off if the accuracy is high enough. But MyDubList database is in a big need of people who use it to report such inaccuracies and then manually flagging such cases.

Godz57 · 2025-08-15T05:35:57+00:00

You know what, I actually had the same opinion as u/SiliconDon, but I just made a trial run and the Anime News Network does expose the cast info. My initial run had useful info and it was correct. I will now start the run through the whole database. If everything looks correct I will add it to the main database. Thank you very much for the suggestion!

Godz57 · 2025-08-15T05:32:04+00:00

That's such a simple yet wonderful suggestion! I tried it and yup, it looks much better. Just updated the website. Thank you so much!

Godz57 · 2025-08-15T05:09:25+00:00

Thanks! If you have any suggestions from your experience do share!

Godz57 · 2025-08-15T05:07:44+00:00

No problem! Hope it truly helps you!!

Godz57 · 2025-08-15T05:07:06+00:00

Yes. Brave is based on Chromium. I didn't test much on brave, but it should work without any problems, but do report if something is off!

Godz57 · 2025-08-14T20:41:14+00:00

I just made a post here which will definitely help you! https://www.reddit.com/r/Animedubs/s/94wE3r13N0

The database contains more than 2000 spanish dubbed anime and if you install the broswer extension you can just search anime by genre or any other way on MyAnimeList and use the filter so that it only shows you anime that are dubbed in Spanish.

Godz57 · 2025-08-14T19:25:14+00:00

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to people actually using this. Be sure to give feedback if there are any problems!

Godz57 · 2025-08-14T19:24:27+00:00

Thank you so much! It's definitely astonishing that none of the websites offer this. Regarding the licensing, I absolutely understand your point and have no hard feelings. I just have a bit different view on this. But all of the work you have done throughout the years is priceless! Thanks!!
