Once you read up on it, the wild west stuff is pretty interesting.

Don't you also have wild West weebs in the US?

They also have a whole greaser subculture

Japan and America have an odd cultural recycling effect on each other. It goes back all the way to Admiral Perry. But there were also the...

I read of a place in Brazil that has a thing for the civil war, just really bastardized and not as shitty as usual
StanielRonathan
Less of just kind random fondness for Americana and more of that place was a post-war Confederate refugee founded colony
StanielRonathan
with a lot of the Confederate cultural identity diluting out over time to just keeping a bunch of the aesthetics

Americana is absolutely huge in Japan, it used to be big in France too.

SomeDetroitGuy
A weeaboo- Japanese term for a Westerner who is uncomfortably obsessed with Japanese pop culture.
varesya
It's not a Japanese term. It came from a webcomic and 4chan.
robustdumbass3000
I actually know a couple of weeks then, thanks for the clarification
jellyseinfeld
The meaning originates from 4chan and the word weeaboo comes from a webcomics called pbfcomics.

people in Japan fight over if what's better dub or sub for king of the hill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLZrQGW2_9k
CaptSchmidtGaming
i would like anybody in japan who enjoys king of the hill to know, that it is in-fact very VERY accurate and unexaggerated Texas.
StillNotYouTube
I hope they pick sub
MagicOrpheus310
Sub all the way! Well... for Japanese into English dub loses a lot, other way around it might just turn it into nonsense... Haha
SkamanSam
Sub for learning the language. Dub for enjoying the show. Reading is a distraction, imo.
Redyls
this is true
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Which is stupid, we all know the answer is which ever makes the media easier to understand for YOU, you glorious bastard!

SUB. The correct answer is ALWAYS sub.

Golden Boy has an amazing dub.
kingbudo101
Nah, DZA, FMA brotherhood, Black clover, and cowboy bebop all have a better dub
PanNonOpticon
A thing that doesn't happen in Finland. There's only sub. Dubbing happens only if audience is under 10y.

This is simultaneously glorious and horrifying. Thank you.

I saw a video, but I think with Family Guy. Though, the ones who preferred sub seemed to have a much better understanding of English.
SquireRamza
I mean, watching TV to help learn (conversational) English is totally a thing
Undrave
That's how I pulled it off myself
vnqx
It was just some random guy showing them clips of sub/dub and asking which they thought was better, not sure if any regularly watched it

You start subbed, then go for dubbed, then go for dub with foreign subs

Some poor bastard had to sub Boomhauer...
SolidRD
And his mom which was the best part too

They have enough odd mannerisms over there to cover for it. They probably gave him an unintelligible osaka accent or something.

To my understanding, alternate Boomhauers are way more comprehensible, unfortunately.

Now I wonder if that sounds like how american poorly imitate japanese speech, but from an actual japanese...
c64masterrace
Maybe they dub him with a Kansai dialect or something like that
StanielRonathan
Boomhauer's more intelligible the JP dub despite talking as fast, the language phonetically is equipped for it; JP Hank & Dale are inverted-
StanielRonathan
ie Hank sounds like what you'd expect JP Dale to; but Bobby is just damn near perfect and identical, Peggy & Luanne are spot-on as well
StanielRonathan
Oh and Bill too, he's also exactly what you'd expect him to sound like in JP; his helpless dimwittedness is conveyed by him speaking slower
fastjeff
Not sure if there's a difference, but here ya go... https://youtu.be/7JRH6KegcdE
blaghart
There's a huge difference. For one thing he's actually saying real words in Japanese, he's not even heavily accented.
blaghart
They basically voiced Boomhauer as fucking Naruto, complete with "attebayo" at the end of his statements.
bondance
Damn, Dale sounds like Vice Principal Uchiyamada from GTO .
Joelidan
"ONI- ONI- ONI- ONIZUKAAAAAAA!!!"

fastjeff

Oogibah
Honestly, kind of disappointed
blaghart
even more so if you understand Japanese. He's actually speaking in real words, he's not even using a dialect.
pyroshen
They all just sounded Japanese? Although how could you imitate the accent in a different language?
Unclescam
Well this just makes me feel like sub is the obvious winner in almost all cases...
JesaraB
Subs tend to be better for remaining true to original, but you can't multitask while reading subs like listening to dubs
