Message: [QUOTE="Zemus, post: 24090, member: 40101"] I generally mute Japanese voices if there's no English option. I like being able to pick up phrases and learn how to pronounce words that I can only read, but that's not really feasible without text for me anyway. I haven't heard that one, but I have heard the one about fortune from Machiavelli: you have to beat it into submission! [automerge]1735577579[/automerge] The only way to achieve this would be having the original writer do the script for each language it's published in. No one else can know what process he went through to come up with the text to begin with, what experiences he unknowingly drew from, or what non-Japanese words he'd really like to use. How do you know the jelly donuts line didn't come from the original writer, considering no one here knew what onigiri were? A compromise would be having a team to constantly peer-review each other, but that led to this entire thread. As for dubs, I'll gladly take that over unintelligible foreign voice 1, unintelligible foreign voice 2, and unintelligible foreign voice 3, as you said at the start of your post. :P [/QUOTE]
