If you actively took a known striking performer’s job during the strike and you’re openly complaining about the banana fish dub, like

It’s very big “farmhand who opened the henhouse door for the fox extremely upset about all the dead chickens” energy

As someone who loves to watch so-bad-its-good content PLEASE understand you can't give shit like this the time of day

The only way to convince these companies to not use AI dubbing is to show it's not profitable, STAY AWAY from hate-watching and instead spend that time watching dubs you love
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Every single person involved in creating this should be blacklisted from anything even tangentially related to art.

This is *awful.* AI is awful. PAY VOICE ACTORS.

A trillion-dollar company going super-cheap on producing a mechanical-sounding dub with no human touch, aura, or spark involved.

It's insulting, anti-consumer, anti-creative, shameful, and just damn embarrassing.

Also... I can't trust anything that pronounces "finger" as "fin-jer."

2:12 in, BTW.

Tech bros will see this shit and think it’s revolutionary and less money to spend on labour.

Everyone else will see this and think it sounds like garbage.

You can HEAR the lack of intention in every line the AI slops out. At least the TTS voices on stuff like Arby n’ the Chief were funny.

We got gen-AI dubs from Amazon and gen-AI subs from Crunchyroll, but if you torrent a fansub that real people worked to translate, code, and stylize, you're the piece of shit.

In case Crunchyroll paying its VAs peanuts for theatrical releases didn't make it obvious, the amount that companies would like to be paying people is zero dollars.
Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors

I hope the people involved in saying yes to this poop their pants violently at the exact most embarrassing time to do so each day :)

They pay us so little in dubbing already & clearly think we aren't worth paying at all yet theyre also bringing in celebs for "name factor"

Performance means nothing

I'm not in the habit of publicly naming performances I didn't like (for several reasons...*I* have performances I'm not proud of, maybe it was the director's fault, maybe production was rushed, etc.).

Since I'm hurting any human's feelings, though...this AI dub is just. God. Awful. I mean...WOW.

Now, yes, Aniplex is owned by a different division of Sony than Crunchyroll (Sony Music vs. Sony Pictures, though Aniplex does partially co-own some part of Crunchyroll), but it really just gives the indication that Banana Fish may be a test bed for what Crunchyroll might do in the future.

Considering how everything for anime has to be done with the approval of the original Japanese licensor(s) now (this isn't the Wild West of the 90s & earlier), this pretty much means that the Japanese licensor for Banana Fish had to have approved this.

So, who's the licensor for this? Aniplex.

Two more series i found with ai dubbing. Dororo has Spanish ai dubbing right now and Pet has english ai. I would not be surprised if theres more if they add titles to this program. This honestly so upsetting.

I find it interesting that they are doing this to a show about a queer csa victim

It feels intentional since they can use the excuse of "well it's too taboo of content to get anyone to dub it normally."

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA
