Japanese books and animations are always coooooooool! They produce heart winning stories and characters!

 

[Raine]

I only watched Bloody Royale last summer .___. I think I was the only one into it amongst my roommates because they were tired of reading the subtitles XD

 

[Honest]

I always turn on subtitles for movies. I can't really watch them without it. ;;

 

[Astraea]

Yeah English subbed Japanese movies are the best to watch for those who don't understand Japanese at all! I can never watch them without it!

 

[Honest]

I was talking about English movies....

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

Oh lawdy, we got a sub/dub convo going here

I honestly prefer the dub when its nice and literate (i.e. well-funded, such as Naruto or Pokémon), but at the same time I prefer subbed for most anime that hasn't made a huge presence in the West. Fruits Basket is a rare exception to that. :P

 

[Raine]

What kind of movies have you been watching that the words aren't clear? ( ・◇・)？

 

[Honest]

Me? It doesn't have to do with not being able to hear more than it does me just liking reading and being sure of what's going on. D:

 

[Hiatus]

I always turn on subtitles for movies. I can't really watch them without it. ;;

Mmm, yeah, me too. Sometimes, it's just hard to understand what they say, and subtitles usually help.

 

[Taemin]

I don't use subs for English shows or movies, I just turn the volume up until I can hear it well enough. If it bothers people, then I'll shut whatever door is in between us and can block the sound. xD;

 

[Starry Windy]

Back then I used to turn the subs on even though it's English, because I want to understand English more, especially because I'm not native in English language.

 

[Shhmew]

I really don't see why people are so obsessed with Finnick.

I know the topic's changed... but this^ ^ ^ He is just so fake it's irritating :c

When it comes to japanese anime, I prefer dubbed. Even if the voice acting isn't the greatest...... I just really love to appreciate the art style and watch what's going on, and I don't like having to read the bottom of the screen.

With things that are already in English, subtitles tend to just distract me, like I need to read through them or I'll get paranoid I didn't hear someone right... or something. .__.

So yeah not a huge fan of subtitles. I prefer to watch the characters closely and immerse myself that way.

 

[Astraea]

I watch english movies even without sub, but need sub during watching Japanese and Spanish movies!

 

[Sanguine]

I can't watch an English movie without subtitles, or I'll lose track of everything. I can watch French ones without them, though.

I always need English subs for anime, but I hope that learning Japanese will remove that need :D

fun fact: I just learned that tumblr isn't pronounced "toombler"

 

[Hiatus]

I've always called tumblr "thumb-lerr." There's no H in there, but... I just didn't know how else to pronounce it. xD

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

I've always pronounced the name of the MinGW C compiler as "Ming-W". Just sounds cooler IMO.

The SFTP UI called WinSCP has always been pronounced "WinSc'pe" for some reason, possibly because saying Win-S-C-P sounds awkward.

 

[Shhmew]

I've always pronounced tumblr as "life". whoops

 

[Pokestick good times.]

I pretty much just don't pronounce things at all these days.
