Eh, I speak Japanese, I can't stand watching any anime with English dubbing at all, a lot of the meanings and idioms are often lost in translation.
Listen up you furries

English dub exist for localization reasons, not for much else. It is to appeal to native audience the media is distrubted for. As apposed to just being faithful story telling and everyone knows that. That is how is always been. There is no 100% accurate translation and even subtitled Jap dub is also localization. So that is always been controversy about it. But most of it has been cause "I like the japanese voice acting better" I prefer english dub cause it allows me to enjoy the show without trying to read short flashing subtitles where some people don't have the quick processing to do so may pause and read constantly to understand what is going on, they might as well read manga. 
To each their own opinion, English dub, japanese, dub, there is a option for everyone.

Of course, experiencing a medium how it was originally meant to be is the best way to watch, but at the same time, I think it'd be a little hard for someone new to anime to just jump head first like that. Those who can speak Japanese are lucky to be able to watch things without the translation barrier!

To be honest the translation barrier is really the people inability to find the best way to compare words between languages which still exist today. We know that when reading subtitles and see american branded cussing is not what japanese really find offensive and such is all a matter of opinion and prespective bwteen both countries. But when dub and sub studios use the creative writing to try and change the story slightly to appeal the the target audience that the show is presented it for rather than be consistent with the story to the very end, which explain name changes, and use of more popular cultre references as well. This exist in video games as well as any other form of media.
How funimation tried to make goku like super man in english dub of dragonball z and why people debated who could win a fight between the two. Why games get retranslated, Breath of fire for snes was translated by square enix (Squaresoft at the time) due to their more prominent role in translating script in video games of RPG genre as well as they do publish call od duty titles in JAPAN for same reason. While capcom didn't really had experience in script translations that Square enix had but games get remade and rescripted. Fire emblem was first made on NES or FAMICOM but never released in internationally until the GBA came out and that was not the first game in the series, Fire emblem shadow dragon is a remake of the first game in the series from NES FAMICOM but for first time english due to popularity in the game series generated by featuring marth and roy (two fire emblem characters) in the game.
And just for bonus, watch this video discussing localization vs censorship.

I'd listen, but as a Glaceon, I am actually unable to respond. For you see, I have these things called "paws" they aren't made for typing nor am I am able to read because I am a Pokemon.
Thus the best thing I can do listen to command and try not to pee on the carpet.

Well good, this was getting out of hand or paws in your case. Guess we should go were we don't need meme related to threads. To the secret bat cave! i mean the Private conversations area.
I still do think it's rather interesting that most of the non-furry weebs absolutely hate furries... but most of the furries here are already weebs.
Perhaps those weebs should consider watching Zootopia or some the good funny-animal shows, or making an avatar-maker avatar, or playing Animal Crossing or something...

S @ salazarcosplay:@Xdqwerty I like how the game had the middle ages 1000AD, the dark ages 600AD.It was great seeing the post robot apocalypse 2300 like Terminator and enter the matrix. some of mad max and fallout. 2300ad though it could had used more elements instead of just a generic ai uprising. It was a great idea for their judgement day to be 1999 Y2K.
-great additions if they would have made an expansion or dlc in my opinion would be finding out humans trapped in a matrix -
a follower having a cyborg character living tissue over metal endoskelleton like terminator, and the synths from fallout -
S @ salazarcosplay:4After Zeal fell it would have been good to see more ancient eras. Perhaps Sumeria based in one area, then Egypt based in another area, Greek based in another area, then roman based in another area before the middle ages.---------
----between 1000ad and 1999 is a big gap they should have had the age of revolution like the american and French Revolution
then the cowboyy era in one area of map and the Industrial revolution/age of enlightmentthen a ww1 and ww2 and a cold war era -
S @ salazarcosplay:they could have added 75,000 bc like assassins creed. zeal was already establish in 12, 000 bc , soething before the kindom rose
