There's still plenty of duos that could be viable contenders. From the top of my head: Joseph and Caesar, Jessie and James, Lupin and Jigen, Simon and Kamina, Edward and Alphonse, Yugi and Joey or Kaiba, Goku and Bejita to name a few.

Ideally you wanna watch the original product. Even if you don’t speak the language you’re listening to the intended native expression. And it usually just sounds better than any dub anyways, since dubs invariably have to twist what’s said to fit timing and flow and meaning etc. which just sounds auditorially awkward, not to mention how genki kawaii whatever just comes out sounding weird in my language. That’s been my reasoning for subs.
>>199696
Yes toonami and shit aired dubs, cause it’s for mass consumption, usually by kids. But this preference for dubs is pretty much just a thing I’ve seen in casual anime. Any kind of television or film thing anywhere else it’s considered retarded to prefer dubs (unless it’s king fu or kaiju in which case it’s funpost humor quality).

No many tv shows and movies are preferably dubbed by their home country. Many famous Japanese VAs are assigned to voice over famous American actors.
The sub vs dub debate is localized to American weebs for the most part.

Yes, they usually would. It can be conceded children's content would probably be dubbed, but that's for children. But any kind of serious effort to appreciating media will involve getting the original language presented. This isn't even esoteric for American normie audiences.

Your frustration is almost understandable but you're forgetting one thing; this has to come from the actual board rather than people from the outside. If tournaments on /a/ are started because someone else wants to make SaiGAR 2, you're just going to get colony tournaments with King tier results. If /a/ decides they don't want tournaments, people will have to learn to just respect that and stick to side tourneys.
