Went back and forth between sub and dub for Fist of the North Star, finally made a call
I spent like 3 years telling myself I'd watch the OG Fist of the North Star anime, but I kept putting it off because I couldn't decide which way to go. The dub has that cheesy 90s energy with the voice actors hamming it up, and the sub has the raw Japanese performances that just hit different. After watching the first 5 episodes in both, I went with the dub because I wanted to laugh at the ridiculous one-liners while doing concrete work in the background. Honestly, it was the right call for me. The English voice for Kenshiro sounds like he's trying to be a gravelly action hero from a B-movie, and it makes the over-the-top violence way more fun. Has anyone else had to commit to one version of a show and regretted it later, or found it made the experience better?
