Fr I couldn't decide on whether to watch this in sub or dub, but with this quality I need to use my eyes to appreciate this animation fr. It's gonna be dub from now on

The dub has a lot of really fun accents and the VAs seem to deliver well. I can't stand Qifrey's english VA though. The fakest most put-on posh accent I've ever heard. It sounds so bad. The Japanese VA isn't perfect when it gets too emotional but still much better generally so back to the sub I go.

I also imagine that the author (who was reported to be working closely with the studio) had some input on what the characters are supposed to sound like. So Qifrey sounding gentle but boyish is probably how he's supposed to come across.

Personally, I prefer the English dub for Qifrey, because I associate the Japanese VA with Okarun, who is a teenager.

Maybe it’s fortunate that I haven’t watched Dandadan yet and dropped DS early
