[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I honestly couldn't care less.
1. Even subs aren't exact translations
2. The dub isn't some wildly different translation that has nothing to do with the show.
Anime fans get a little ridiculous with their complaints sometimes.[/QUOTE]
Normally I'd agree with you, but I feel that dubtitles fall far outside the "nitpicking" category. I suppose my biggest gripe with them is that it's just fricking *lazy*, but that aside, they can often result in a very different translation when compared to an authentic Japanese subtitle track. As the person above me said, accuracy is often sacrificed in the dubbing process to match the lip-flaps, and to carry over those changes to what *should* be a real subtitle track is asinine. The differences in spoken dialog versus the dubtitles in Advent Children were extremely off-putting for me, as someone who understands the language. Maybe you can't tell the difference, but I sure can. Come to think of it, I think Sony has yet to *not* botch one of their releases. Shameful.
[quote name='refusedchaos']hey are the series Peacekeeper and Crest of Stars anygood?[/QUOTE]
Peacemaker sucks out loud. Crest/Banner of the Stars is decent, so long as you're watching the Japanese language version. The dub was abysmal.
