Quote:Not if the anime is about Japan or Japanese people. Cowboy Bebop, for instance, does just fine dubbed.
True... the fact it's not about Japan certainly helps. Oh, it's identifiable as Japanese (especially by the art style -- anime art...), but without that cultural thing it works a lot better in English.
Quote:Yeah, but Cantonese isn't nearly as overplayed here as Japanese is.
True, but it's also a lot harder to learn. :)
Quote:Huh, interesting.
It is. Hard, though...
Quote:Right, but again this is pretty much just an exception, Islam.
Given Europe's location, shouldn't you expect lots of prospective Islamic immigrants?
