Just to be clear, I DO think the voice acting is fantastic and appreciate it as much as the next guy. I just also happen to find good dub voice acting enjoyable as well. So considering that Goodwin feels the same way I do about that and the fact that it was already guaranteed he’d watch this episode subbed and experience this cast’s voice acting, I just suggested he check out the dub as well in his own time since I found that cast to be fairly impressive and enjoyable too. I understand that not everyone enjoys dubs and that’s fine, I’m not here to argue with or convince anyone on that front. Simply recommending something to check out from 1 dub enjoyer to another. So the discussions about which version is better or anything like that, is kinda irrelevant here

2022-08-25 16:35:59 +0000 UTCYeah, shrooms don't hit you right away. Although the shrooms I've eaten were presumably not the same ones, but anything you have to digest is gonna take a minute to start hitting you. Also a big reason people end up eating too many weed brownies (or any edible) and then they're on the moon for the next, like, 4 to 12 hours - you get impatient waiting even if you already know better, and then boom, you've ordered five pizzas and your day now consists of thinking deeply about how beautiful old fashioned doorknobs (and/or femboys) are

2022-08-25 13:58:46 +0000 UTCI'd say the voice work absolutely does shine, but I 100% agree that it's not the reason the show is this good. It helps, but I was reading the manga years before the anime came out, so in all honesty I'd say Vinland Saga is a masterpiece even if you watch the whole thing on mute. That said, the voice work being fantastic complements the story extremely well

2022-08-25 13:50:02 +0000 UTC@Brandon I haven't seen the dub but i'm not sure I agree. I'm a huge fan of voice acting but I don't think it really shines in this show. Don't get me wrong it's good, but I wouldn't say it's what makes the show good at all

2022-08-21 00:24:24 +0000 UTC“This guy’s just a little bit too affable. I feel like this might be a trick. He might actually be deadly,” “If love is war, he just lost,” “Do NOT wash on Saturdays, do NOT wash on Saturdays, that’s a terrible idea,” “Wow. What a softie. What a kind soul,” “He’s the king of kings, but he’ll put himself below the lowest of men,” “I have a feeling this ends with Thorfinn on Leif’s boat,” (bookmarking for predictions lol) “Leif is the man, I don’t know why everyone sleeps on him,” “That’s so weird. That’s also my type. Probably also Yuuji and Gojo’s type, come to think of it. She’s tall. I don’t know, I haven’t really seen her ass,” (laughing at the fact Goodwin said Gojo instead Todo) “Birds,” “Everybody wants the glory, but no one wants to do the mundane work that it takes,” “It’s a little narrow, huh? This would be a great place for an ambush,” “There’s always someone throwing a chair,” (Ayo Arcane reference??) “How does this guy think mushrooms work? You just eat one and you’re good to go? Takes a little bit of time. I don’t think you can just eat it, and then rampage. You should’ve eaten this like WAY in advance,” (I always forget that Goodwin has some experience with these kind of things lmao) “Will he be able to hold to his ideals? And will it be his ideals that get him killed?”

2022-08-20 15:51:39 +0000 UTCDon't watch MHA so no. And i was replying to Brandons comment not yours. Just extending his appreciation for the original voice.

2022-08-20 15:39:23 +0000 UTCNo lol. I made it very clear that it was a personal recommendation and for him to do it on his own time, if he so chooses. Never told him to switch versions or claimed that any was better than the other. Also, did either of you watch his reaction to the MHA OVAs? He literally let out a sigh of relief and said, “oh man it feels good to be watching a dub again for once in awhile.” So it’s very obvious that he enjoys and appreciates dubs, so idk why you’d be upset over me just suggesting that he check out something he’ll probably enjoy on his own time.

2022-08-20 15:18:56 +0000 UTCAskellads Japanese voice actor alone makes the sub way better
Amit
2022-08-20 15:14:04 +0000 UTCPlease stop before he actually switches to dub the original voice acting is what makes this show so good
Brandon Gomez
2022-08-20 15:06:18 +0000 UTCTotally just a personal recommendation here, but also taking into consideration your usual appreciation for dubs. I know there are 2 separate dubs, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s Netflix’s version that’s the bad one. However, you should try to check out the good dub of the next episode (on your own time at least). Child Thorfinn’s voice actor was honestly damn impressive for me in it

2022-08-20 05:09:27 +0000 UTCIt's a great scene all around, including the conversation with Ari. One thing I love it is how much context it adds to the opening scene. That may have been the very moment that he decided. And I love that he chooses to tell a story about his daughter when asked a question about the glory of battle
Alex G
2022-08-20 05:09:04 +0000 UTCAre these the official subtitles and I’ve just never seen them before or does he have weird subs. I swear some lines are completely different from the ones I know

2022-08-20 04:50:29 +0000 UTCOne of my top 3 favorite scenes in the entire story is the scene with Thor's and Helga when she was giving birth. It's short yet speaks volumes to Helga and Thors character. For me Helga especially stood out. The setting of Vikings in this time period makes writing strong interesting female characters a hard task. But this scene did a great job of showing an example of how women may have been treated like trash in this time period but that doesn't mean they didn't find value and meaning in their lives and that they did truly have their own agency, even if they couldn't do it through the conventional means that more modern times have given us. like revolting and fighting for social change. These things are good but are only a small part of what humans are capable of doing with their lives to improve themselves and make change. Helga has had only the tiniest amount of screen time so far but she definitely earned my respect. And I definitely respect the author more for these small things that are sprinkled into the grand narrative that is mostly focused on themes of war. (Which is pretty male dominated in this time period)

2022-08-20 04:07:44 +0000 UTCexcited to see you reacting to this show. it's an all timer. remember, s1 is a prequel that only covers like a quarter of the manga that's been released so far. and it only gets better and better! do you plan to react to season 2 as it comes out this fall?
