I still feel that much is lost in translation and that the English language dubs tend to be corny and overwrought. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953490&forum_id=2#35878413) |

Date: April 19th, 2018 11:27 PM Author: Provocative sepia casino I didn’t know there was such a thing. Or do you just mean adult-oriented animated films made by Americans?
