The book is always better than the movie.
Like Hamlet! For Twilight, both incarnations are equally horrible.

I'd say the movies are worse since the series' popularity exploded after the first one

I don't always watch anime. But when I do, I prefer dubs.
Again though, this is an extremely limited case. Like Trigun. And... that's about it.

I watch dubs when available because my eyesight isn't that great.

American voice actors always run their roles like if they were playing Hamlet or some other work from Shakespeare.
Seriously, horrible... O_O

Some voice actors are amazing though, like in stuff like Mass Effect
Normal ones I can't stand though, it sounds so horrible (at least when it's a Japanese game)

Same goes for English made cartoon and dubbed Japanese
They just sound so very different

It really depends on the dub for me. Naruto had an absolutely awful dub, but Death Note had a pretty good dub.
It seems like the long lasting shonen anime like Naruto, Bleach or One Piece are awful dubbed, but the quick 2 season max anime are ok.
Of course people take it too far and try to get things like Avatar TLA or LoK dubbed into Japanese.

Funimation does dubs very well. There's a few series like Yuyu Hakusho and FMA Brotherhood that I think the dub is fantasic, and the dub of Ghost Stories is 10/10 worldclass because they got to ignore the original script and wing it for pure comedy gold.
Watch Ghost Stories if you have never seen it before.

All of the Scions have awful VA's tbh lol. Thancred was alright and Moen.
There are some good VA's though, the new fancy pants from ishgard had a really good VA and I quite like Lolorito and Teledji Adeledji

Normal ones I can't stand though, it sounds so horrible (at least when it's a Japanese game) And some are just asscrap. You'd think Peter Dinklage would have been pretty boss in Destiny, but he was absolutely dreadful.

That was cheesy, but in general I think it was really well done :P

Peter Dinklage is just a better actor than voice actor, I don't understand how major developers think they are interchangeable.
There's only a few people that can do both (Morgan Freeman, Stephen Fry)

Judging by grunts, Yda had a deeper voice in 1.0

I still wonder if JP consider their VA's awful.

Everyone in JP sounds too young. Urianger is old as hell and he sounds 20.
Tataru (I guess) and Minfilia were the only ones that sounded particularly good.
But again, opinions are opinions.

Opinions are like bears.
They should stay in their forests and caves where they belong!

How old is Urianger? I can't find any age for him
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
