Ken
[one piece] looks at reserve for movie tickets on Monday

realizes he selected dubbed

this isn’t a bad thing but THEN remembers they didn’t dub the songs in spite of casting AmaLee as Uta

...
Ken
goes to swap that to subbed
Ken
the lack of consistency would drive me crazy
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
baffling choice but alright then
Ken
RIGHT???
Ken
She literally just went “fuck it I guess I’ll do it myself”
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
ya gotta,
Ken
If she could like do covers for everything Uta sings and then if some enterprising anime fan could fix this when we get a bluray next year that would be swell
Beans
the didn't??? dub the songs??
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
lmfao
Ken
Beans : NOPE
Ken
In spite of WHO THEY CAST
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
tbf i feel like it's common to have diegetic songs not get dubbed--offhand i'm thinking of tales of the abyss but i know i'm forgetting something
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
still a deeply confusing take in this case
Ken
It’s just funny to me coming off of two specific things:
Ken
ZombieLand Saga, also featuring AmaLee as one of the girls, where they dubbed every song
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
hm. odd.
Ken
And rewatching Gundam SEED via the new dub where Lacus’ songs are likewise dubbed. And they were in the original dub too! Mixed results in some places but
Ken
What I expect is that it has to do with whatever contract they had with Ado playing Uta but. THE SPECIFIC TIME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BEST TO DUB IT.
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
yeah that's my best guess on the reasoning
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
which makes sense but it feels strange to then cast an actual on god singer/VA
Ken
RIGHT. I wouldn’t blink if it was a regular VA.
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
ye
Ken
And not that she can’t do regular roles! She’s pretty decent I’ve found.
Ken
But this specific combination makes it wildly hilarious.
Beans
so. funny drizz story. I went to see the second MHA movie shortly before the pandemic and the whole thing was in og japanese
Beans
EXCEPT
Beans
the song they played during the final fight
Beans
which had apparently only been recorded in english.
Beans
so it's Weird to me that like. for even one of the biggest animes ever, nobody decided to at least try to dub the singing
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
huh
Beans
Ken
But yeah if an anime has diegetic songs and it’s not dubbed, I kinda just. Check out. If I know this in advance I’m watching the sub. It’s why I’ll never touch a Love Live dub, and why I assume no one wants to touch dubbing Symphogear (if King Records would even LET them dub the singing, which I doubt).
Ken
The dissonance throws me completely out
Princess Emily
the thing that strikes me is that
Princess Emily
almost every other language besides English
Princess Emily
dubbed the songs in the dubbed version of Film Red
Cold XC
that's a wrinkle
Ken
Okay then my guess about contracts doesn’t even track, that makes NO sense then. That’s a shame.
