Prede, I’m in the same boat as you, for the most part - but over the years I’ve gotten a lot more flexible in that regard as ultimately something is better than nothing for me.
One can only hope the market rebounds and things improve for us dub fans though, it would be very depressing for ADV Studios not to continue especially since before the Sojitz disaster it was in a golden era. On the other hand though, I also believe the production costs were in part what helped put ADV and Sojitz in such a big hole when the market collapsed on them.
Unfortunately with more and more fans watching or being introduced to shows via sub, there has been a huge shift in the last 1-3 years of preferences and language entry points for new fans. And I know since you and I talked about this before a lot of times in the past… sadly the sub-elitists have been the most vocal and have won the internet discourse over the last few years - since most legal dub fans tend to fall in two categories, older anime fans who got introduced to anime via dubs who remained interested in it, and the casual anime fans who don’t really get mired in the debates - both groups haven’t really participated in the intellectual and philosophical discourse of why dubs are not the crap that it’s made out to be by the vocal side - over time there’s now this domination of bandwagon superficial thinking of dubs sucking whether it be anime or videogames, etc. Far too often saying the dub sucks is viewed as cool and part of the in-crowd, while the dub fans had to sit and stew in silence or be mocked. Now that it’s too late with the lack of value in dubs… dub fans have been caught off-guard to a degree - well it’s been discussed for the last 1-2 yrs that this may be coming, but the more casual dub fans are finally seeing the tangible realities of it all.
I’m optimistic that things will improve to a degree though, but I’m pessimistic that the boom days won’t return like in the early to mid parts of this decade. The boom days may truly be over for the foreseeable future.
