Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.
They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.
Only you have the power to kill it.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

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.

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.
Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

Banana Fish’s AI English dub is what happens when a big company sees #anime as merely “content” and not art. Always demand better than what some corporate entity will offer.

To be honest, even awful dubs, like Dragon Ball Z, One Piece (4Kids), Cardcaptors, etc, are still preferable to bullshit like AI dubs. At least SOME passion was put into those. #anime

Amazon has rolled out AI dubbed anime and I’m truly appalled. Like it or loathe it, the medium has a rich, incredible history of English performances. There’s already a million reasons to hate Amazon, but fuck me.
