I suppose the writer meant it in the sense that no one hyped prior to its release. Being original work instead of adaptation is one factor. How do you measure popularity objectively anyway. Sites like MAL might do well but in the end it’s i

The notion that some people prefer dub over sub is not new, but it baffles me that it is to the level of urgent business concern. From what I see in other comments, is it an American thing? We should invest in making people’s ear accustomed
