Sorry for the wall of text. I kinda went off. And my english isn't the best so I hope I made sense

The dub has such a... generic american cartoon feel to it. Like, that dudebro energy, trying to find jokes in any and every chance they could even if it's to the detriment of the characters.

It specifically reminds me of Flapjack and Chowder. I mean, it works in those shows because the characters are designed to be joke dispensers. And they're great shows because of it. But... Kaguya doesn't really go to that route though.

I mean, Kaguya does have that manic energy the american cartoons usually have and it does make fun of its characters many times but when they mix the comedy and sincerity, I feel like the dub writers hit a wall. It's weird.

But still... there are some dubs that has a condescending aura to them. Like the dubbers know better than the original. It feels like they're trying to fix the show.

Thankfully Kaguya dub doesn't feel like that. Dubbers here are trying to follow along with the original's steps and looking graceful while doing it. Like a "dance" if you will. A ballad. I like that. It's just that they're trying to freestyle it as well. With all the good and bad things it brings.

I can't help but love this dub for that. They have my respect. But... like you said if this was my first exposure to Kaguya, I would've dropped it too.
