I tend to like the subs better, but that's because I know enough Japanese that I can get some of the puns. :V
I typically side with subs because for the longest time dubs weren't taken seriously and were for the most part phoned in. For the most part, a good dub was an exception that proved the rule and while that's something that's changing in more recent times, it's still something that's apparent and evident in the genre.
 
Jeanne alter bond lines and my room dialogue as translated by rxrx and fgog anon while compiled by leddit.
  • "Stand up. Go defeat some enemies. What will become of you if you stay cooped up all the time?"

  • "Thinking of you as my Master? That's crazy."

  • "Don't mind me, go break the hearts of some other Servant."

  • "What I like? Fufu, there is nothing more entertaining than to deny God in the face of believers."

  • "What I hate the most? As always, 'to believe' is the worst kind of evil to me."

  • "What wish would I entrust to the Holy Grail? Then, the destruction of humanity. …That's a joke. It's just a joke. Fufufufu..."

  • Reference to Arturia Alter: "Geh, The world's most despicable woman. What is a black holy sword, isn't that a total contradiction? Ahaha, even though it's holy it's pitch black, what a joke. That's seriously creepy."

  • Reference to Santa Alter: "Wait a moment, that's right, I'm talking about you! The Christmas present roulette is broken so give me another one. For cooling off. ...Eh, what? It's already over!? Don't mess with me!"

  • Reference to Holy Maiden Jeanne: "Fufu, if it's so hard, you don't have to do it you know? You trashy holy woman. I'll ignore you, and you can think I don't exist. That's fine by me."

  • Reference to Gilles: "Ara, Gilles is here. Fufu, he's turned from an ally of justice to something disgusting, but I think I'd still rather he's here than not."

  • Reference to Kiyohime: "Since all the good-natured people didn't dare say it out loud, I'll do it. You sick girl, if you say you can't even accept lies, go become a nun or something. Ufufufu…"

  • Birthday Line: "Fuu, is there something auspicious? Birthday? Should I ask Fafnir to light a candle?"

  • Event line (?): "It seems that something has come up. Shall we head out to destroy every last trace of it?"
Bond Lines:

  • 1) How filthy. Don't come close to me.

  • 2) You're being persistent. Do you want to be strangled to death? (Sigh) Why have I chose to respond to the summoning?

  • 3) That's enough! I'll burn you if you step any closer.

  • 4) I've already told you to ignore me... it is not advisable to be too close to a cursed witch. You will be burnt along as well.

  • 5) I see. So you wish to be burnt? Okay, okay, I will do that someday. You will definitely regret it when that day comes. If you still have no regrets knowing this, I will accompany you even to the depths of hell
I like her.

I know it's old news but in my latest procrastination spree has included looking at dub clips of UBW
You poor misguided fool

The only non-Zero person to turn in a genuinely good performance is Todd Haberkorn as Kojipro
he was the standout performance in Root A's dub too.
You poor misguided fool

Papenbrook's shriek when Shirou first traces Kanshou and Bakuya could only be more pathetic if it was followed by "I'LL HARM YOU"
Papenbrook's range is basically "Obnoxious whiny 12 year old boy" and that's about it.

True, I have to be fair.
It's not dubs.
It's english dubs.
Now that's not true at all. Mind you, there are a lot of bad english dubs, and I do mean a lot, but there are quite a few that are good.

I guess Fate/Zero, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kill la Kill and Steins;Gate are myths then.
> Not mentioning Cowboy Bebop where even the creators admit that the English Dub is superior.
To name a few more good ones, Baccano!, Death Note, FLCL, GITS: SAC, and Hellsing.

The next person to go on about Dub vs Sub is getting dotstabbed by the Mystic Eyes of Off-Topic Perception.
Technically I've been mostly On-Topic in this post, so...
 
What part of 'Only good VA besides Zero's cast' was not painfully clear to you? That kind of shite attitude is why so many people never try dubs that are actually good and why we continue to create and complete the self-fufilling prophecy by not showing which are good with our support.

My apologies, I read that as "I'm going to watch the entire ubw dub for that one assassin vs saber scene" which sounded like sifting through sewage for gold dust instead of watching clips.
Okay the rest I can agree with (other than klk because I haven't watched the dubbed version) , but Ill fucking fight you over this.
 

Dubs are obviously the best. Come on guys, how can you not appreciate this wondrous voice acting? Just the raw emotion of it all.
 
You say that to Steve Blum's face.
Crispin Freeman has words for you.
I stand by what I said.

I guess Fate/Zero, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kill la Kill and Steins;Gate are myths then.
I actually went to youtube just to check:
Steinsgate: blah
KLK: oh my god ew
FMA: eh, it's fine, but still sounds off
F/Z: mmmmyeah not not really. Why do they sound like they're trying too hard, btw?
Meh on the rest because I'm not gonna spend my night watching youtubes of dubs when I don't like dubs.

Problem #1 , #2, #3 up to #∞: They can't fucking pronounce the names. I'd take 4kids-tier renaming over this butchering of syllables.
Also there's this odd "trying too hard" quality to them, it throws me off. It just doesn't sound natural compared to natively english shows.

E: People need better reading comprehension. I said 4kids-tier renaming. Like, if they got english names, it'd be better. Because then they'd be using names that the VAs can actually say properly. Because jesus christ those poor syllables.

You would take 4Kids as better!?:jackiechan:
