Rewatching Cowboy Bebop subbed on a 2006 laptop vs. dubbed on the big TV, and it's not close
I did a little experiment in my Denver apartment over the weekend, watching the same three episodes both ways to settle an old argument with my roommate. The subbed version on my dinged-up old laptop (screen has a dead pixel in the corner) made me catch way more of the small stuff, like the jazz cues and side characters' little comments. The dub on the 55 inch TV looked nice but I kept zoning out because my ears got lazy and I stopped reading the faces. It's weird how much of a show lives in the stuff under the dialogue. Does anyone else pick sub or dub based on the screen size, or is that just me overthinking it?
