The whole time I was watching dubbed anime, I thought I was saving time
I realized last month that I was actually missing out on a ton of emotional impact by not watching subbed. It hit me during a quiet scene in a show called 'March Comes in Like a Lion' where the main character's voice just cracked in a way the English dub totally flattened out. I always figured reading subtitles would slow me down, you know, like multitasking while folding laundry or something. But I timed it out on three episodes once and the runtime difference was maybe 30 seconds total, not enough to matter. Now I'm wondering if I've been cheating myself out of better performances for like 5 years of anime watching. Has anyone else had that moment where they switched and never looked back, or do you still swear by dubs for certain genres?
