What’s the difference between dubbed and subbed anime?
Subbed anime retains the original language but applies subtitles to the show or movie in English. Dubbed anime replaces the initial voice acting with English (or another dubbed language), so the viewer does not need to rely on subtitles to follow the story. If you lack the focus or ability to track subtitles on your favorite show, dubbed shows can be easier to follow.
How do I turn on dubbing for anime on Hulu?
The steps are essentially the same for most platforms. For titles that have dubbing included, you can turn dubbing on the same way you’d turn subtitles on. Some series are presented with a dubbed version and a subbed version, so you’d just select the episode with the format you prefer.
Xbox/PS4/PC/Mobile
- Press up to access the playback menu.
- Access the Settings menu, displayed as a Gear icon in the lower left.
- Select Captions & Subtitles.
- Pick your preferred language.
Firestick and Roku have a final step to keep your language preference in place, so you don’t have to keep turning the dubbing on for every show. When you come to the end of the language preference selection, these platforms will ask you to confirm your choice with a yes or no option. ‘Yes’ will ensure that any show you watch will feature English language dubbing, if it’s not already in English and assuming that’s the language you’ve chosen.
How well does dubbing match the meaning of the original words?
That depends. Sometimes, it’s hard to precisely match the intent of the original words because they reference cultural practices or habits that may not be common in English-speaking countries. The words being used in the original language may not have a direct translation that makes sense. Whether subbed or dubbed, any translation is going to be imperfect. It’s always an option to turn on both subtitles and dubbing. There are quite often differences between the two translations. Sometimes it can be downright entertaining to see the differences between the two variations.
