One of the problems you tend to run into with #anime dubs is the delayed release problem.

Let's say an episode comes out in Japan. If you're someone who watches the subs, you can watch it almost immediately.

If you watch dubs, you got to wait a month for that release.

You also lose some of that foreign culture exposure / foreign language practice, which frankly, is missing a good part of what gives it value.

If you learn Japanese entirely from anime though, you're going to sound like an anime character to anyone there, lol.

And there are so many ways for the quality of the content to degrade.

It also tends to get a bit less quirky and tends to get flatter, and I really think the world could do with more quirky and "weird" content, not less of it.

That is simply... More interesting.

Cool site, although a bit flashy, lol.

Someone defending dubs? o.O

Dubs are practically always worse than subs. Always. Not even a question about it. In a lot of ways. #anime

If you're both an #anime fan and a programmer, I'd suggest watching Serial Experiments Lain, although it is a very, very strange anime, lol.

It is interesting though.

Since I'm seeing the name coming up, Serial Experiments Lain is certainly an... interesting anime.

Well, try it, lol.

Have I mentioned how freakin random the posts which get federated are? Lol.

So, so random.

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26344 What do you think of this search feature?

With how someone creates a question, and so many people answer them with similar answers, almost as if I'm on Stack Overflow, I'm tempted to bestow the fediverse the nickname of "Fedioverflow", lol.

Hand drawn art has an appeal which art generated via diffusion models does not (although, that sort of art is not without it's merits).

I should probably use long posts more, rather than writing so many tiny posts, lol.

They're going to break a feature called "relays" which some servers use to pre-populate feeds for users.
