Summary

It is the argument that has ended friendships, a debate that often leaves two people screaming at each other like Goku. But don't worry, we have a rather civilized discussion on the merits of both subtitled anime and dubbed anime. Jake explains how why the quality of dubbing has improved over the years and plays some pretty hilarious clips to show us just how many bumps along the road there were. We hope you enjoy this episode and don't worry, we do not care about how you listen to it! Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouth
