Amazon’s Prime Video service sparked a huge controversy when it began releasing English-dubbed versions of classic anime using artificial intelligence, but the dubbed versions were removed from the service following objections from both fans and industry insiders. English dubbing is one of the most preferred ways for anime fans to watch their favorite shows these days, but unfortunately, the fact that they haven’t received an official dub yet means they’re still waiting to see a truly legendary production. But Prime Video’s way of thinking about it was never the way to go.
Prime Video has launched a new English dub for the anime adaptation of Akimi Yoshida’s classic. banana fishHowever, fans quickly discovered that it was created entirely with AI. This meant that the dub had no official human voice actors, and clips from the dub were revealed to be of poor quality. However, following backlash from people who noticed the release, the dub disappeared from streaming services. However, Amazon itself has not yet commented on the matter.
Prime Video removes controversial AI dubbing
It is important to be careful about the English dubbing of AI. banana fish ‘ has been removed from the Prime Video streaming service, although it is unclear whether it was done in response to the backlash itself. Many names in the voice acting industry have expressed concerns about this dubbing, which above all raised concerns about the future health of the voice acting industry.

If anime fans weren’t aware of this test, perhaps streaming services could have started dubbing even more on this issue, hoping that no one would be any wiser.

What does this mean for the future of anime?
If Prime Video continues to experiment with AI English dubbing (and there’s still an AI version with Spanish dubbing) banana fish available at the time of this writing), this does not bode well for the industry. Fans of all generations prefer watching anime in English dubs, and those behind the scenes have put a lot of effort into making their performances better than what was seen in dubs in the 1980s and 1990s. There’s a reason why it’s become more popular among fans in recent years.
If AI is used to replace these actors, it will only further harm production studios. Anime fans should appreciate the dubbing more as they realize that it is not only not produced with enough care or quality, but also does not match the intensity of certain scenes. This shows that the platform doesn’t care about licensing and should be frowned upon going forward.
