I currently have to use Subtitles, kinda annoying. And I despise dubs since the voice acting is so bad, I mean like the emotions in the voice, its so emotionless in English.

I am a English speaker with some fluency in Cantonese and Mandarin.

How difficult is Japanese? Am I gonna waste a lot of time?

Also what’s the best resource to learn?

    Every time someone says the dub is actually good this time and I try it out, it sounds like shit. Frieren was the last time I trusted the dubbers and they made her sound like a MILF. She’s supposed to sound like a young woman because that’s what she is by elf standards. There was a whole running gag about whether she’s a MILF which doesn’t make any sense in english because she is definitively a MILF there.

      Dragonball super has pretty great dubs. So does cowboy bebop. NGE also is pretty good. FMA Brotherhood also does a great job. So is My Hero Academia.
