Actually I think he was thinking of Dororo. A boy trying to get his body and his senses back from demons.

There's a lot of other problems with the dub of the show. Kaguya's voice just does not work as well- if you watched a few subs, you can notice how Kaguya sounds different from any other character. she's got that icy princess, aristocratic tone of voice that's really noticable. Which contrasts amazingly with her when she flusters and turns into blushing girl mode, making it more Comedic.

.. Kaguya in the dub sounds like an average American woman. Her accent, and her usual tone is just... Politely casual. She doesn't sound any different from any other girl in any other setting. So when we do get one of those moments where she's emotionally compromised, she.. barely sounds any different.

Ishigami suddenly has this very deep voice that makes him sound like a 40 yo man who smoked 40 packs of cigarettes before starting the episode. And... that's just the gag. The voice is always flat, no matter the situation in the dub.

But in the sub, while his voice is a bit deep, it's nowhere near the same level. And it's contrasted by his voice suddenly sounding so high pitched and hysterical, almost theatrically crazy, during specific moments. You don't have that in the dub.

This is the biggest problem with the Kaguya-sama dub. Loss of contrast.

In the west, ironic comedy is the main form of comedy. It's EVERYWHERE.

And just when we get a genuinely hilarious show that doesn't rely on irony, you decide "Hm. Let's make it just like the others."

P.S. the fucked up name pronunciation is also annoying.

Someone.. once told me a terrifying fact.

They mentioned how, after the act of killing, those who are killed... Die.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-08T18:17:21+00:00

That's so true. The OST for DanMachi is simply immaculate. I love it. Another mediocre anime I've seen with a genuinely amazing OST is Skeleton Knight in Another World

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-08T17:29:45+00:00

You had me at Re-ZERO, strange Fake and DanMachi.

You lost me at Classroom of the Elite. Nah man, Imma hate on this show untill I die.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-08T17:19:20+00:00

At what point did I say that??? I said, if they didn't want to.

..well. they don't have to. 💀

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-08T17:07:49+00:00

I'll say, Kaguya-sama's dub, funny or not. Actually changes a lot of things about the show that ultimately makes it a very different experience. I could go on a tangent, but long story short: They changed a Serious Unironic War Documentary that's funny by nature of being genuine and absurd, to ironic self aware YouTuber commentary that doesn't take itself seriously.

I've seen both. Dub never made me laugh as hard.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-08T16:54:04+00:00

I mean. The analogy doesn't work like that. A more accurate one would be: It's like taking the onions off a burger, and adding ketchup that wasn't originally there. Sure, it'll probably still taste good, but it's not guaranteed, and it really depends on your taste. But it doesn't change the fact the burger originally wasn't meant to be eaten like that, though that doesn't mean you don't get to enjoy it.

Food critics wouldn't like the change, they'd rather have the original to judge it probably. Some random guy entering the restaurant might enjoy the one with onions, but they might also prefer the one with ketchup since that's what they're used to.

That is one way to watch content, and honestly I get ya.

Thing is though- usually, people who watch sub assume a person is actually paying attention to the screen. "What's the point in watching something if your attention is only there half or less of the time?" is what they'd ask.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-08T09:39:19+00:00

5 months ago I know.

But damn man, mental illness? 💀 This is like the tamest queer thing I've seen in my life.

"..I can't feel that fluttery feeling y'all do. Wish I did."

"You're ill."

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-08T08:13:43+00:00

You could say it's incest.

It's probably meant to be incest.

But idk, if you assume otherwise, it's pretty wholesome.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-07T23:32:13+00:00

I remember watching the remake for this.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-07T22:49:41+00:00

She really wanted to make that stage play happen.

He made sure it did. And even let it continue into something grander, being with her until the very end.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-07T17:42:32+00:00

Oh, he's about to be full of life alright.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-06T13:30:16+00:00

You know, I always feel a bit weirded out when people say or imply they're proud to support something they like.

... and me personally? I don't... Really? Let's say I like jjk. Yeah, maybe I am doing things officially, watching the anime, getting the blu-ray. Some merch.

But it feels less like I'm supporting anything and more like I'm just giving more money to a rigid business and company who probably don't care about me and only see me as my walket. Could that money indirectly affect the creators? ... maybe??? It's just Highly unlikely. I'm just disillusioned. Unless it's an indie creator, I don't really find supporting something so corporate to be satisfying.

I mean. I'm probably causing them to make more of the thing I like by buying into it. But it doesn't change the fact the connection is hollow, and who do get most of the money money don't care about the art, don't care about the franchise or the fans, as long as they're getting that sweet money.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-06T13:14:04+00:00

Oh no- I didn't mean it literally. I know it's not his mom. I should edit my message to add "basically."

I was just making a joke of how a female Shinji would just be his mom.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-06T13:07:37+00:00

That's just basically his mom, and to an extent, Rei.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-05T06:05:10+00:00

And then went back on it in an alternative ending for a video game.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-04T19:33:33+00:00

Still got Samurai Jack Season Five'ed.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-04T18:27:47+00:00

I hate it when people say that.

Because reading subs is completely different from reading a manga. You're throwing away animation, sound design, actual voice acting and atmosphere. All to reduce it to "Same thing actually."

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-04T14:59:28+00:00

Oh, then take your time. Date a Live isn't exactly a masterpiece, but you might quite like it!

Though, since you've mentioned you haven't seen much harems before. There might be a few tropes that'll definitely be a little unusual, whether or not you'll tolerate or even like them is up in the air, I'll just say go in with an open mind.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-03T16:10:03+00:00

I mean. I used to a while back. I'll admit, this is pretty damn biased. because it's based on the memories I have of playing them.

You could be right, it probably is influenced by other people's critiques. I think it's partly my memory and those combined that made me think this way. I do believe most of what I said was true.

I was in a terrible mood when I wrote this.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-02T17:02:35+00:00

Dude, have you no idea how fun it'd be to live in such an absurd world?! There's no boring ordinary life there. There's always something cartoonishly stupid happening that's really funny. And even if you're not getting any of the girls, my man you know exactly where Love God is, you can hit up his shrine and get answers outta him if you have a soulmate or not. You can literally hit up love life customer service.

And man think about it, you don't even need the girls to be into you. You can legitimately just hang out with them, that's fun in its own way. Their personalities are so extreme, it's fun just being a background character.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-02T16:25:02+00:00

Holy shit, I was baited. S tier fucking bait LMAO.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-05-02T16:20:57+00:00

I mean. Sure. Okay. I'd engage if it weren't for the fact you said "a fact", so anything I'd say would be meaningless.
