Things that grind your gears

this meme when something happens that an individual doesn't like or doesn't sit well with and calls it filler

Characters not learning from their mistakes is another thing that grinds my gears.

I'm pretty sure MGS got a pretty good translation. And Pokémon varies, sometimes it was very accurate, and other times it was you're classic 4 kids "JELLY FILLED DOUNTS".
(Also on the topics of translations, something that bothers me, when people say most NES games had terrible translations, which is inaccurate considering most NES games were written in English, so the LOZ opening isn't a result of a bad translator, it's a result of a Japanese person with the bare minimum knowledge of English)

I was referring moreso to the casting, for MGS. Never played past half of 1. The dub director basically ignored Kojima's recording, it was outsourced dubbing. The dub voices for Solid, Liquid, & Raiden are jarringly small, compared to the original recording. Ajay knows way more than I do on MGS.

Pokemon's dub casting was overseen by Nintendo, & it is exceptionally good

. The translation had some issues, with Crispin Freeman generally wanting it more accurate, & 4Kids' higher-ups preferring more jokes, plus it wasn't union, & Crispin, being the hardcore anime fan he is, wanted 4Kids to share the mass profit with the VA's, as he believed anime should be treated as well as anything else. So he quit, as 4Kids ignored his pleas.

So, the translation isn't TOO bad, from what I've seen of #1. But the reason that MGS's localization is praised ISNT because of itself, but because it's a fine-ass game that was well-suited to more mainstream English-speaking audiences, & EVERYBODY played it that way. Objectively, the dub casting is weird.

Here's a Korean MGS player's details on the subject. https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid ... 60/d1e326m

Here's my understanding of the casting differences, as a VO enthusiast. https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comment ... ny/d4cz4ju

Kris Zimmerman mentions her casting decisions in her interview with The Codec.

I don't know why but it grinds my gears when people say "Kid Goku" as if it's his actual name.

"TFS is better than the real show lol!"

"Dragon Ball has no character development lol only little kids or stupid people like it, Akira Toriyama is a terrible writer."

"I always watch my anime subbed. Except for Dragon Ball, I just can't stand old lady Goku lol! Follow my blog on tumblr, ^.^.^.^.^.^.^ kitty kitty lick lick Hahaha lol so random! "

I saw a comment on a youtube Super video where someone said they missed the original voice actors.

Some of the Japanese cast have been replaced due to some unfortunately died, so maybe he meant that?? Either that or he meant he misses the dub voices.

Maybe he was talking about Kaio? lol

It's to put a difference in between the eras. Kid Goku, Teen Goku, Buu Goku, GT Goku, etc.

It was Funimation. It seems that a lot of the North American fanbase still considers that as "the show" and the "subs" as an alternate version.

We need to work on that then...

Not to be rude at all (though I'm sure you were joking), but I humbly and respectfully disagree.

-Hating on Nozawa's voice and Kikuchi's score, the Japanese version in general
-"Dragon Ball isn't well written"
-"Goku has no intelligence, is one dimensional and has no character development'
-"Goku is a horrible father, Vegeta and Piccolo are better by miles" (completely untrue btw)
-'Vegeta's past was sad, he deserves to kill Freeza because of what he did to him on Namek and to the Saiyan race"
-"Toriyama fucked up Gohan's character by making him care more about studies than fighting"
-The games calling Cell Games Gohan, "Teen" Gohan
-"Goku gets all the spotlight"
-"Buu arc is horribly written"
-Dragon Ball is just about bigger lasers and muscles
-A majority of the new content, though I enjoy BoG and somewhat this current Zamasu/Black arc too
-Fukkatsu no F needs to die in a fire
-The general writing of Super, in particular when they try to make something emotional/dramatic (cue Gohan getting hugged by Shisami), expressing Goku's "stupidity" (the fake Monaka ep is insulting) and explain the logic behind fights (Hit gets stronger by coming up with a new stance....wtf?)
-Magetta's sound effects in Super, I'm almost 100% certain Toriyama intended him to have Gundam-like sounds (basing this on nothing but my gut)

I call him Tween Gohan!

Hating on something is not the same as having a different preference. I prefer the sub, but I'm not going to go out of my way and start shit talking the dub because of my preference.

This is what I meant^. I don't even hear an old woman with Nozawa's Goku tbh
