yet English Alphabet only being 27 letter and Japanese being like i forget but i know its between 40-100 so you can't say dubs are better when Japanese has a wider range ( same can be said with chinese,Korean etc... )

English is by far the simplest language on the planet, thats why many ppl adopt it as a second language since its so easy to learn both how to speak it but also how to read/write it thanks to its simplicity.
but when it comes to dubbing it totally ruins the feel not only because VA's get the emotion wrong or have gay voices but how the like to switch words around and rewrite the fucking script.

Irrelevant to how many letters Japanese has, English has more words.
I've never heard a bad voice in dubbing, they all sound fine and fit their character IMO

The ONLY voice I didn't like (because it was a different actor) was Shigeru Aoba from the REBUILD of Evangelion, they replaced his nice voice with a brutal black man who doesn't fit the voice/role at all.

but if you think about it Japanese words have meaning to them where as our words are well just words linking together in a dictionary.

yeah but because our alphabet is so limited i can't see it being the biggest.

hmm I would not say English is the simplest language on the planet.. in fact I am told its one of the hardest to fully understand, at least when it comes to reading / writing it.. just because of the stupid way the vowels work, random silent letters and things like tion and ing making sounds that do not sound anything like the way it is written.. it is easy for us because we grew up on it.. but the English language has a lot of stupid rules and is actually quite complexed



go watch Shakugan no Shana dubbed... it is a atrocity.

yeah but there's only what 5-6 vowels XD shits easy and most words consist of at least 1 of them so you learn those and basic alphbet you can speak write read. understanding is a different thing but hey same thing can be said for any language understanding.
its just a game of mix and match where we take our word and they just match there definition to its counter part. Like they know what a Toilet is but when they see the word in English they don't understand but then you tell them and they understand instantly.
its just the size and how many of our words mean the same things makes it pretty easy to learn. why do you think where like the capital of immigration XD well talking mainly of US/Canada

because are country has a lot of influence and because its relatively easy to immigrate to the US not because are language is so easy...

I hear spanish and german are easy as hell to learn but idk I learned a little spanish when I worked at home depot... go figure ( I worked in lumber )

/e I think that is why you will see immigrants that have been in the country for years sometimes even decades and they suck at English... if you were dropped in mexico and had to live there I am confident you would start picking up the language in a matter of months

well U.S is a little harder than Canada or so i hear being Canadian you literally can walk down the street and well see a rainbow of ethnicity. Does help being referred to as the peaceful/friendly country
yeah main thing i hate is how in school they make you take French class i was like "fuck that what am i going to do with this shit" where as if it was Spanish maybe it would have been better since you hear it spoken alot more.

if i tryed to learn Japanese my head would probably BLOW and would take me a long time, i would defiantly would have to by one of those pocket translator things.
i wonder if they have a device that can translate written word i dunno like some kinda of scanner that then translates the symbols to English XD

Japanese is really not that hard until you start dealing with reading / writing it... Its the same as English in that regard but worse I think.. way worse because they have kanji which I hate tbh.. hiragana which is not hard to learn and then they will use romaji too.. it gets stupid because they like mix them all up all the fucking time.. if you learn hiragana then hiragana then romaji is pie.. but kanji is stupid as hell imo and they mix kanji in with everything all the dame time..
