If you yearn for the days when anime dubs were hilariously stilted or nearly incomprehensible, don’t fret. Amazon Prime Video is leading the charge in bringing back the bad old days by using “AI beta” dubs for the English and Latin American Spanish versions ofBanana Fish and No Game, No Life Zero, much to the chagrin of fans. It’s not just an ethical concern; the AI voices genuinely sound bad, as viewers have pointed out on social media. The “AI beta” tag also appeared in English and Latin American Spanish dubs of Pet, Journal of the Mysterious Creatures, and Vinland Saga. Following the backlash, Amazon has removed the dubs for Banana Fish and No Game, No Life Zero, though Journal of the Mysterious Creatures and Vinland Saga still remain.
