KonoSuba has been one of the most popular comedy anime of the past few years and was brought to life by incredible Japanese vocal performances. So the how does the dub stack up? The Cartoon Cipher looks into the casting, writing, and directing that went into KonoSuba’s English-language version to see how Alex von David and his team approached the material, how it differs from the original, an...

The English Dub for Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid has become infamous within the anime community for various rewritten lines. While we do think it’s unfair that it and similarly controversial dubs are being used to generalize English anime dubbing as a medium, we *do* think it’s fair to criticize and question what this dub did. We discuss the problems with carelessly punching up dialogue i...

Here is the final script for our video on the Dragon Maid dub. Not only do we look at the controversial lines that are still being talked about to this day, but we also look at the show as a whole; identify any persistent good or bad traits.

Happy 15 year anniversary to the initial airing of IGPX! Despite many innovations and being a unique part of Toonami's history, not a lot of people really talk about one of their first original animated projects. So lets do that today!

This year we have seen a lot of discussion regarding representation and casting in the voice over industry. The common adage is that "in voiceover, anyone can play anyone as long as they fit the part," however after speaking to several actors and staff, there are some things that make it harder for certain actors to even audition to have their skills judged in the first place. It's understandab...

Anime dub actors have very often been recast, so in this video we attempt to get to the bottom of why it happens sometimes (although there will always be some unknowns), go over possibilities, and have some discussion as to which recasts are beneficial or detrimental. Just remember that everyone is bound to have their own tastes and reasoning when it comes to which actors you prefer.

Baccano! is widely regarded in the community as one of the best English dubs of an anime. It takes place in America and features a plethora of Western accents and cultural influence. Today we wanted to reflect on what makes the dub special to so many people, examining everything from its scripting to the per...

Today’s interview is with Jonah Scott, the English dub voice of Legosi from Beastars, as well as Aiden from the upcoming video game Dying Light 2 among other roles. Jonah is a big fan of this anime himself, being very in-touch with the fandom, doing prep for the role of Legosi… he’s even done a cover of the OP song. But just because this is one of his first leading anime roles, doesn’t ...

We SERIOUSLY loved the Beastars anime adaptation, so we decided to just ramble about it and the dub. Since the Japanese actors had the rare privilege to influence the animation there was always going to be a lot to talk about. While not everything we have to say about this dub is positive, we were genuinely surprised by the level on enthusiasm these actors showed. We wish them and their team al...

We personally don't feel like we're in a position to charge you all for a lack of content but while it's too late to stop Patreon from charging you all for this month, we decided to put a freeze on charges for the month of June to compensate. ...
