    This is torture if the subtitles don’t match.

    I have a soft spot for dubbed anime and always have, but in pretty much every case, the subtitles are not a transcript of the dub, they’re a translation of the original Japanese.

    As a result, the feeling you get trying to watch that is not unlike going up a set of stairs and miscounting, but for every sentence.

      I’m with you on that. Anime has to have dubtitles if I’m putting them on there. Thankfully you can find those pretty easily these days if you need to.
