She’s a sports player that waits on the bench for her turn

She's an underwater vehicle

She is an HTML element that specifies inline text that should be displayed as a subscript.

What the fuck parties is this person going to? Seriously, I'm in LA and could take use a new subwoofer for my 2.1 setup.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait. It's a music thing? I was so exited there were submechanophilia parties in LA.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Why yes, people in LA care a lot about sound fidelity. They even have a fun term for folks like us who need a good Sub, Doms-- that is, Deliverer of Music.

There are also "switches," which are people who are in charge of switching the stereo on and off.

"Power bottoms" are folks who stay on the ground floor and ensure that the building is receiving proper electrical flow so the music can continue. Really important stuff.

The joke is appreciated, the preference disgusts me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It really depends on the anime/show. My best example of this is Hellsing. The Japanese VA talent is fine, but the English, particularly for Alucard is so much better - he has a menacing quality that is perfect for the character. Plus, it's set in England, so hearing English accents is more immersive.

Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, FLCL. English dub GOATS that I can’t watch in anything other than dub

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (12 children)

If you don't speak Japanese, why would you watch anime in Japanese? Do you watch all films you do not know the original languages of with subtitles?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Yes. I do prefer to watch films not in English in their original language.

The only exception would be very fast dialogue or multiple people speaking at once. But I can read at the speed of most movie speech.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

I prefer to watch stuff in languages I know with subtitles as well.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Yes.

  1. It's good if you have interest in the language.
  2. I might sound harsh, but the performance of most English VA cannot compare with Japanese VA.
[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Not a huge anime fan, so don't really care as much with regards to animated stuff... But for me it makes a HUGE difference with live action.

If the actors' mouths don't line up exactly with the voices, it's a major distraction for me and I cannot pay attention to literally anything else happening on screen. This is even the case when it's English, but the audio track is slightly off-sync. Drives me up a wall.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

If you pull up original translated subtitles and an English dub on the same video. You'll often find that meanings and intent can also vary because dubbers have to tweak stuff to make the flow work in a completely different language. I've seen several anime episodes where lines of text changed meaning because of this.

Also English VA are just not as good as expressing feelings in tone of voice. Japanese in general seems (from an outsider's flawed perspective) to have more tonal qualities that impart on me as the listener more obvious tones (excited, angry, what-have-you). Especially with the way the JP VAs play into it more.

So yes, I prefer to watch Anime in the original JP, and I keep English subs on for stuff that I don't understand. Over time though I seem to understand more and more without reading the direct English translation.

I will admit that I don't watch a whole lot of other foreign content though. I'd imagine I'd do the same with Polish/German content though as I've grown up around both (family) that I could probably glean similar understanding as I do with Anime now. But other languages I probably would just look for an EN dub.

You are asking why adults would prefer to watch stuff in their original language lol

She meant a sub sandwich I bet, common misunderstanding

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 months ago (4 children)

"Oh, you're a sub? How many Mark 48 530mm torpedoes can you carry? What's your test depth? Do you like having seamen inside of you?

Jeez dude, how clueless can you get??? She obviously meant she's the substitute pinch hitter for the local ladies softball team! What a nerd lol

Oops. Not their fault "sub" has a dozen meanings.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Right, is this all in context?

What’s going on at this party?

Someone’s like “yeah I work in retail.” And this person is like “yeah I clip car batteries to my nipples kneeling in broken glass with a hothouse cucumber up my ass.”

Which one is being awkward here?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

I believe this might have been an instance of so-called "flirting".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I actually laughed out loud at this assessment. Pretty sure this is not how it went, but... bah, take my upvote.

The funny part is how both of you could only see your own usage of the word. Hilarious for her to become shocked.
