Anime sub viewers are the minority on Crunchyroll and Netflix, two of the biggest anime streaming platforms, as they both confirm the significance of dubs.
And then you have me, who’s so hardcore I was forced to sign up for Netflix so I could watch the Dutch dub of Tonari no Totoro . If I was any more hardcore, I’d figure out how to rip it from there, because it’s the only home release it ever got, as far as I can tell. Can’t even find a second-hand VHS (wouldn’t be acceptable quality anyway).
But that whole situation means I’m a Netflix subscriber who “prefers dubs” for their stats, even though I rarely watch a dub.
I mean, you don’t have to learn how to rip from Netflix… People do it for you 30 minuted after the official release, you can find it on the usual site.
For the English dub, yes. I even found Italian, French, German, Spanish and Russian. But none of the pirates set their VPN to Netherlands to get the Dutch dub.
And the spanish version is usually from spain so I have to go down a fucking rabbit hole trying to find the latinamerican spanish version (es-419) even for the subs.
