Angel Beats- -dub- [ TRENDING ]

The handles this whiplash by committing 100% to both extremes. The comedy is rewritten with natural English humor. For example, the subtitled version of Yuri’s rants often feels stiff, but the dub uses modern slang and sarcasm. During the baseball episode, the English script feels like a Freaks and Geeks episode.
