So, while randomly going through the Crunchyroll Dubs youtube channel, I stumbled across this debate over whether you should watch “Spy x Family” in dub or sub. The dub is great, but there was the usual band of assholes saying “sUb oNLy!!111!”. However, one user actually wrote that people should only watch the sub because the “right” way to watch anime is to watch in the “culturally accurate” way. 

That argument is hilarious to me because, if you REALLY want to watch a culturally accurate “Spy x Family”, you’d watch it in the German dub. The show is based on Cold War-era East and West Germany and the capital city is literally called Berlint. Also, even without the German background, the English dub would be more culturally accurate since all the characters and setting are obviously European-based.

So in the pointless war of subs versus dubs, this is one instance where the dub side wins. 

So a few days ago, I wrote a post about how I thought the German dub of “Spy x Family” was superior to the original Japanese version. But, not gonna lie, I think even the English dub is better than the Japanese. 

Here’s the scene where Yor Forger is out on a mission as Thorn Princess. Natalie van Sistine nailed the sharp, menacing tone that I felt was missing from Saori Hayami’s take on the character:

I finally got around to watching the German dub of “Spy x Family”. All I have to say is that it makes a HUGE difference. It actually feels more appropriate for the setting since the series is based on Cold War-era Germany. Like, this is the version of “Spy x Family” that plays in my head when I’m reading the manga. It also helps that the German cast manages to match the energy of the Japanese cast.

So, yeah, I might just stick to the German dub from now on.

Also, this might be a hot take, but German Yor (Daniela Molina) sounds…better? Not to take away from Saori Hayami’s performance, but her Yor sounds a little too timid. Daniela Molina’s Yor sounds like she could be a loving mom/wife AND a stone cold killer.

The battle for today’s video

✨ Yortisia vs Loidman✨

SPY X FAMILY Episodio 1

Late Mother’s day drawing with Anya and Mama Yor ❤️

“Even in many families in the world, every single one of them plays a role and lives their lives.

Like, "This is how a wife should act” or “It’s because you’re a parent”. Of course, it’s also wonderful to work hard in pursuit of an ideal. But, being too constrained by it and losing sight of who you are can make things go wrong.

You can get tired from playing a forged role all the time. So you just do you, Yor. If you keep an open mind you’ll be surprisingly unnoticed by others. Anya will be happier as well, if you smile in front of her.“

this scene is just so wholesome.

Nahh. Just Yuri simping for Loid (unintentionally)(≧▽≦)
