My cousin told me he only watches anime dubbed now and it threw me
We were at his place in Denver last weekend, just hanging out. He put on a new show and I heard English voices. I asked him about it, and he said, 'Honestly, I just got tired of reading. After working all day, I want to watch, not read.' That hit different because I've always been a sub-only person, like it's the 'right' way. But hearing him say it like that, just a simple choice for his own tired eyes, made me rethink my whole stance. It wasn't about quality for him, it was about comfort. I never really thought about it from that angle before. Has anyone else had a talk that changed how they feel about the sub vs dub thing?

That Spy x Family dub @sanchez.ivan mentioned is really fun... but do you ever feel like you miss the original actor's tone?

Honestly, doesn't the whole "right way" idea get a bit silly? I used to be the same, but then I realized some dubs are actually good now, like the one for Spy x Family. It's not just about being tired, sometimes the voices just fit better in English.
