Okay, let's talk titans! Giant, naked, and… surprisingly good at international relations? Season 4, Part 2 of Attack on Titan was wild.
The Dub: Our Favorite Voices Return
The English dub dropped. And honestly? I was hyped! Hearing familiar voices back in action felt like a warm hug... a hug from a very large, potentially murderous titan, but still!
I know, I know. Sub purists exist. But sometimes, I just want to understand what's happening without reading faster than Levi slicing a titan nape.
Eren's Descent: Less Charming, More... Grumbling?
Eren Yeager. What a guy, right? From wide-eyed kid to world-ending force of nature. The dub really brought out his angsty teenage energy.
Maybe it’s just me, but his voice in the dub sometimes sounded like he was perpetually ordering a wrong coffee. Lots of grumbling involved.
Is that unpopular opinion? Probably. But someone had to say it. Don't @ me!
Mikasa: Still a Badass, Now Easier to Understand
Ah, Mikasa. Loyal to a fault. Deadly with a blade. The dub definitely amplified her quiet intensity.
It’s easier to catch all those subtle nuances when you're not constantly scanning the subtitles. You know, the small details that make her character so compelling.
And let’s be honest, sometimes I missed important plot points while admiring her scarf. Problem solved with the dub!
Armin: The Voice of Reason (Sometimes)
Armin, the brains of the operation! His dubbed voice perfectly captures his intelligence and his inherent desire for peace.
Even when he's suggesting plans that are, shall we say, ethically questionable, the voice actor delivers it with such sincerity. You almost forget he's suggesting genocide.
Almost. Key word: Almost.
The Animation: Still Gorgeous, Still Terrifying
Okay, even the most die-hard sub fans gotta admit the animation in Season 4 Part 2 was phenomenal. Those titans are terrifyingly realistic.
The battle scenes were epic. The emotional moments? Heart-wrenching. Basically, it was a rollercoaster of emotions and expertly rendered animation.
Studio MAPPA really outdid themselves. I spent half my time hiding behind a pillow and the other half screenshotting everything.
Unpopular Opinion Time: Dubs Aren't Just for Lazy Viewers
Here's where I might lose some of you. I actually like dubs. Shocking, I know! I’m not lazy, I swear!
Sometimes, I just want to relax and enjoy the show. No frantic reading, no rewinding because I missed a crucial line. Pure, unadulterated titan-slaying goodness.
Plus, the voice actors put in a lot of work! They deserve recognition for bringing these characters to life in a different language.
Final Thoughts: The Dub Is Worth a Watch
So, is the Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 2 dub worth watching? Absolutely! Even if you're a devoted sub watcher, give it a try. You might be surprised.
It’s a different way to experience the story. A way that allows you to fully appreciate the animation, the nuances, and the sheer madness of the Attack on Titan universe.
Just be prepared for Eren's slightly grumpy voice. You've been warned!
"I’m not saying the dub is better than the sub. I’m just saying... it’s easier to eat popcorn while watching it."
Don't hate me! What are your thought?
