About my only exposure to that is the recent LoL KDA Popstars video. Maybe a couple old foreign sketch shows.

I sincerely enjoy the last jedi and it's my favorite of the newer star wars films.

My unpopular opinions:

-Most all seafood is gross
-Sour and/or gummy candy is gross
-The taste of ANY kind of alcohol is AWFUL
-Licorice is the WORST
-Summer is the worst season
-Jar Jar Binks is AWESOME

 

[Alienfish]

Yes, Jar Jar Binks was the whole reason I even watched the I-III films honestly, they and the newer ones are really bad compared to the og IV/V/VI films.

I feel lonely that I don’t really like going on vacations to foreign places (or traveling vacations in general). Sure, you can relax but you also gotta worry about some dangers that could happen in your trip that’s probably gonna outweigh your relaxation. Things to factor in such as insurance coverage, illnesses, etc.

Ugh, yes! I hate traveling! Whenever I take a vacation from work, everybody asks me where I'm going and I have to explain a dozen times or more that I'm not going anywhere.

There's too much work involved in packing and planning a trip and too many things can go wrong to ruin your plans. If you have kids or pets, that just complicates things even more.

Long car rides are exhausting and mass transit (plane, train, or bus) is a panic attack waiting to happen for me.

Then, you get there, maybe enjoy a few days of relaxation, or maybe you get bad weather and don't even get to enjoy the things you wanted to do. Before you know it, it's time to go back. So, that's another long, exhausting ride and when you get back you have to unpack, get caught up on chores, and go right back to work/school.

By then, I need a vacation from my vacation. I'd just rather stay home personally.

[Alienfish]

Exactly like bruh..

And yeah while there are some places I'd maybe like to go I'm not a traveler really.. probably because i was forced to go on **** vacations as a kid..

Anime dubs are fine. In fact, if I have the choice, I would normally take the dub over the sub. I don't hate subs, but I do prefer dubs because...well, I speak English, and frankly if I felt like reading, I'd go read the manga. I don't like having to focus on the text instead of the rest of my screen when I'm watching something. There's fair criticisms for dubs out there, I get that, and I'm gonna touch on some of those common criticisms I see here. First, "but bad voice actors/actresses!". Yes, I totally understand if you don't like the voice acting, but that's a subjective criticism, not an objective one. I actually prefer the voices of the English VAs a lot of the time over the Japanese VAs. There's exceptions of course, like for example, I cannot stand the Naruto dub personally, at least what I watched of it. And that's not me saying, "oh the Japanese VAs suck lol", because I don't think that at all. Second, "but they change the words around a lot!". This also doesn't bother me, because sub translations aren't exactly spot-on 100% of the time either and I only think it's an issue when dubbers try to force their **** political ideologies into dubs (like what happened with Funimation's Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid dub or their Prison School dub) or something of that nature. In general, people also need to really chill on the whole subs vs. dubs thing in anime, I don't really get why it's such a big deal to some people. I've seen some really toxic people on both sides of the argument, even on this forum (not gonna name any names because I don't wanna start any **** but you know who you are), and I'm just like chill the hell out dude, it's not that big a deal.

Yeah, this is my stance on the matter as well. I’m not really biased towards watching subs or dubs. I watch both when it comes to anime in fact. The only reason I watch subs for recent anime is because I want to be caught up to the latest episode. But in something like Pokemon, for instance, I actually watch the dub (not that I would consider Pokemon a serious anime, but just using it as an example). I’m just kind of indifferent when it comes to watching the sub or dub of a show tbh. It really just depends on which show it is for me.

Another opinion that makes me an outcast:

I’m more excited for Pok?mon Sword and Shield than Animal Crossing for the Switch.

To be fair we haven’t gotten anything about Animal Crossing Switch just yet.

completely agree. I prefer not having to read subs because I feel like I can focus on and connect with the story and characters better. But when those stories and characters are all but completely changed like in your examples (funimation sucks in general lately) then subs are the only way to go imo. People need to respect other people's opinions. It's not that hard man.

Dub sucks, unless it's like almost mute figures/baby shows where you cant tell what they are supposed to say anyway plus they censor a whole lot bc lol kids cant look at cigs lets put in a lollipop or cover up some bikinis... like no dubs are crap, especially those in english language anime ones... they _always_ use the same girl/guy/monster etc voice soo. no.
