Bruno > Bruce, honestly.

That is a *scorching* hot take and though I have no frame of reference to Framk Maneiro I had a real gut reaction. Now that I'm calm I think we can handshake over the idea that DCAU!Bats is best Bats with allowances for childhood importance.

And also? Yeah I get it. I agree too. There's something nice about jokes/references relevant to you getting inserted instead of some foreign joke falling flat. That ability to bond with a character is great.

I hope they continue to put effort into making localization and subs (while still making dubs available because there is no *right* answer just what we personally like more) rather than just assuming American culture is "generic" enough to serve to everyone. And/or to save a buck.

I'm a Latina and also old, and I feel this secret in my soul! <3

I find this really beautiful OP. The dubs were intentionally made to be localized for its culture and of course it will differ from the original.

It reminds me of all the incarnations of Spider-Man. The live action Spider-Man in 1960s Japan is no less Spider-Man, just a different one.

The versions of media you liked aren't lesser in any way IMO

I watched international films from the early 90s dubbed in my mother tongue (Indian, mainland China, Hong Kong, Thai). It was really something watching those films from my childhood in their original form.
Some versions from childhood were edited by the dubbing company.
Like, more than once I grew up watching a movie with a happy ending and in adulthood watching the original versions the dubbed films I watched were edited with a happy ending by cutting the film short or placing a happy scene from earlier in the film at the end.
XD

This is how I feel about old Brazilian dubs! For me, Digimon's, Dragon Ball's and Inuyasha song themes are the ones we made for them, and Fullmetal Alchemist voices are the ones from here. (as well as other older cartoons)

I miss feeling like this too, nowadays I only watch original dubs and cringe at our translations.

I do like Brazillian names for TF characters also, wish they still did that, but other BR-nerds would probably hate it.

Hm, even as a child, localizing in dubs made me feel patronized. Did they think we're too stupid to say foreign names, or not know Japan doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving (thanks, Digimon movie)?

[(Anonymous)]

Aww, I'm sorry, OP. I grew up watching The Simpsons in both English and Spanish and I absolutely loved the localization for the dub.

The heart wants what the heart wants!

Sometimes all that high drama and taboo tastes *so* sweet.

I dropped the series after the first episode because I feared it would be another typical shounen (kinda grown out of that genre) but DILFs are of great interest to me. Should I give the series another shot?

[(Anonymous)]

Without context, the line that they murderer each other greatly amuses me because I immediately assumed that it was at different times and I didn't even question that thought because anime.

[(Anonymous)]

I am in the same boat...I think it's because they both are absolutely insane at the time period they happened to kill each other. It works. Also one canonically "adopted" the other's kid? So you have some real fic potential there.

[(Anonymous)]

You like what you like, OP. Sometimes it doesn't have to make sense.

Healthy is overrated. It's shipping, shipping goes for most interesting and fun. So whatever do not listen to antis

well I mean... RPF is generally frowned upon and thought to be harmful/invasive/creepy, it's not just visual kei fans who might take offense

aww that panda is cute

I don't think you need a fursona necessarily? Unless you're into roleplaying. I'm not all that familiar with furries so forgive my ignorance, but isn't the appeal of fursonas that you don't have to be your human self? So by that logic, if you're comfortable being you, you wouldn't have that burning need for a fursona right now right this second. Or maybe you're taking your time because you want it to be perfect.
