Yeah, there's a group of VAs (who double as script writers and voice directers and what not) there who are complete shits, and management (quite stupidly, on their part) won't discipline them appropriately. That's not actually synonymous with doing that being company policy. I know that probably...

Oh, no question. It's just that people tend to talk about it as if it were some sort of company mandate, rather than them being entirely too lenient with their personnel.

In regards to injecting politics I'd actually say it's less the company than the personnel. Although, good luck finding out who worked on something until after it's released, if then.

Okay then, watch the raw Japanese and tell me what was said.

*joking* Which still involves the miscreant saying that they did so. *serious* Look, all I'm saying is that fan translations can be just as much as a crapshoot. If you read them completely confident that they will be free of issues... well, prepare to be disappointed.

That's just it. In the above example I gave? No one knew until he admitted it. I think you are badly overestimating things there.

Still localized, and you can't be sure that the fansubber hasn't taken liberties. Or do I need to bring up how the main fan translator of Nanoha rendered "Old Belka" as "Ancient Belka" because it "sounded cooler"? (And yes, that was a direct quote from him.) Edit: Perhaps more to the point, in...

You do realize that's more a matter of a few infamous dubs than a general thing, right? And also; unless you actually understand the original spoken language (in which case, you wouldn't be bothering with dubs or subs), you're just as dependent on a localized script as a dub watcher, you're just...

Me, for one. Because, frankly, if you can't actually understand the spoken language, then the audio track is about as useful as random noise. Might as well be watching a silent movie or have Banjo-Kazooie style grunts, for how much good it does you.

I'm surprised that this has gone unnoticed here: Anime Matsuri launching new dubbing studio, with Vic Mignogna as voice director.

What country are you in? If it's the United States or Canada, then RightStuf is an option. You can also try Wal-Mart's site. Edit: Oh, you mean for free online. Well, there's MANGA Plus, but they remove chapters as time goes by.
