my stupid rant

[tsukikage]

Nooo... I downloaded the full KareKano series, and it turns out to be the dubbed version. Now, I'm not a dub hater, but in general the dub takes priority only after the sub. In the age of VHS, I'd only ever get the sub (if I had money then, that'd be the case, anyway). Now, besides the fact that good dubs were rarer than... something really, really rare... then, now that we have DVDs I always watch the sub first, then allow myself to watch the dub or sub according to my mood.
Yeah, that was a bit of a rant, wasn't it. in any case, I guess the point is that... Even though I'm enjoying this, it still kinda sucks that the only copy of the series I have is dubbed.

Actually... Now that I'm hearing Arima's voice... Eeh... Not so great. ><;

See, I always watch it in the original language first, without the subtitles. Then I watch it subtitled, and actually understand the movie. I never watch it dubbed.

(I do this to practice my language ear, it may be different with you.)

Well, often times after watching it the first time subbed I watch it raw, but I have this fear that I'll somehow spoil myself by watching it once before fully understanding what's going on.

I guess the movies I get in French are different than what you get in Japanese. With mine, most of the plot is through dialogue and character development and whatnot, so if I don't understand the language (and usually, I don't), I don't really know what's going on.

If it's action, then it does sort of spoil it.
