anime dub
Translated cartoon voices
An anime dub is a version of a Japanese animated series or film with dialogue re-recorded in another language, typically English.
Fans debate whether dubs or subtitled originals (subs) are superior—a perennial argument in anime communities: I prefer the dub because I can watch without reading.
Some dubs are praised for strong voice acting; others are mocked for awkward translations or mismatched lip-sync.
