Find anime with good english subtitles.
Find anime in better qualy.
New sub sucks.Basically the original Cave Story fan translation versus the official one done for Cave Story+.
I usually download raws with fansubs to circumvent this.
Where?
subsplease dot org
they essentially strip the official subtitles of any fuckery or mistranslations rather than reworking from the ground up, so its more like a hybrid of official and fan subtitles. HorribleSubs did this for many years before them, so a lot of their work is out there too.
subs suck. Dubs rule
Voice actors in dubs are usually worse than the original VAs
I’m reaching a point where I’m exclusively watching dubbed. It’s gotten better in the past decade now that anime companies have a bigger budget to hire better trained voice actors.
Frieren and Delicious in Dungeon English VAs are amazingly spot on.
Unless you speak the language they original VAs are speaking: How would you even know if they’re doing it good?
I actually kinda like that, because when the VAs are being cringy and shitty, I can’t tell. All I get is the emotion of the delivery.
And in the past, very passionate or emotional performances were really cringy in English, so I would prefer listening to the original VAs for the delivery of emotion and tone, and read the subs for the meaning.
The original VAs dont speak my language. Why even have sound if I’m not going to understand what they say.
“I lost at Jeopardy, baby!”
That’s just the weird al song
Thats cause they are an interpretation of your own subconscious rather then the pop verse of the writer.
In some cases yes, but in some the misheard lyrics are actual better
Someone I know misheard “Tenth Avenue Freestyle” as “Tell the devil you freestyle” and honestly that’s a much more interesting song.
Haha i have some very funny news to tell you! The lyric is actually “tenth avenue FREEZE OUT”
Oh my god
Dirty deeds done with sheep’s
Dirty deeds and the thunder chief
Dirty deeds in the thunder gym.
sheep’s what?
Just sheeps
i know. you just have the misfortune of receiving a comment from someone who’s unreasonably funny.
I misjudged you as a grammar Nazi. I can assure you, The funny was well within reason.
Revved up like a douche…
Wrapped up like a douche, another rotor in the night
Funny, I always sang, “Wrapped up like a douche”
In the middle of the night!
I mean, that’s just objectively what he says.
I’d like to say this to singers…
No, maybe you wrote this in your lyrics sheet and planned to say it. But…what you actually said in the song was…
I remember being in a hotel once, and scrolling through channels and saw a concert channel playing a Bruce Springsteen show. And he’s sitting at the piano doing a little monologue about the song, and he doesn’t say douche, but refers to a cover (the Manfred Mann version) and it using “feminine products” instead of deuce, which is what he wrote.
I don’t know what Manfred said, but even the Boss thinks he said douche.
Starbucks lovers
I was gonna ask if anyone else gotta love those Starbucks lovers.
I’m here / to remind you / of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.
(I used to think the line was about her ex refusing to return to her a teddy bear that he apparently gave her as a gift. Which rather fits with the song’s theme and just seems dickish and spiteful on the ex’s part.)

Excuse me while I kiss this guy. 🎶
Wow I have fully embodied the meme after reading this
Now that just reminds me of a blast from the past.
Holy shit it still exists! I remember looking on this website around 2001/2. Fuck that really makes me feel old.
🎶 We’re up on Mexican Lucky
My daughter is a Swifty, so I hear a lot of her music. I still can’t hear anything other than “Starbucks lovers”.
Wait, wtf does that song actually say? I thought it was Starbucks Lovers
It’s actually "got a long list of ex-lovers”.
Also in googling this I also discovered she does not scream “HE LOOKS SO PRETTY LIKE A DEVIL” either.
I miss the rains down in Africa.
Such a beautiful idea; after a long, parched stretch of time where you aren’t sure if your water supply will last you long enough to survive, the sky opens up and the rains finally fall. Your saved!
What the heck does blessing the rains do? Extra damage against the undead?
I used to play an MMO called Shards of Dalaya that was a modified EverQuest. Anyway, Felwithe, the High Elf town, was named Athica in it and there was a server event where there was a raid there. One of the comments in chat was “I bless the raids down in Athica.” Always thought that was clever.
I always heard: “I got some reins down in Africa.”
Edit: lol, I still hear it.

It’s for the werewolf!
Thought for a long time it was "I guess it rains down in Africa 🤷🏻♂️
