Consider what fansub means.
For just a moment.
Now, take that thought, and compare it to the word "subtitled".
It's not something people hear about.

Bah, it was an unecessary confirmation, I read the previous statement that he couldn't stand English dubs, and I immediately entered the fact that I had the subtitled editions, but I also unconsciously felt I needed to add in the fact that they were fansubs, not subtitled tapes, or bilingual dvds, as a further clarification. I now realize that it was a redundant statement, and it was unintentional. Also, why am I on your ignore list? To the best of my knowledge, yesterday I was not.

Azymyth had this to say about Cuba:
Have you ever watched an anime dubbed with the subtitles still going? Isn't it weird how 80% of the time they don't match?
Well, there is a reason for that.
The text is more directly a translation of the original script. Whereas, when dubbing it in another language, it MUST be changed to accomodate voice acting and current language trends.
Generally because direct translations don't make much sense when said out loud.

Also, dubbed nowadays is made to try to sync with the characters lips.
So the translators have to stretch a sentence, or make it smaller.

Vlad the Impaler is not Dracula that we know and love as the vampire. That's a common missconception. Brahm Stoker ran across his name in a book and ignored it until he came across one of the many names he was known to by a local tribe, Voivode Dracula. Dracula meant "Devil" in their language, so Brahm Stoker took the name for his book. There is no link between Vlad the Impaler and Count Dracula, the Vampire who was created by Brahm Stoker beside the name. Everything else linking the two has been made up in the centuries since the book was written. The character Dracula was a completely original creation and not modeled after any person, real or otherwise. His name wasn't even originally Count Dracula. It was originally Count Wampyr. I know this isn't spoiler material, but I didn't want to unspoil his spoiler.
