Amazon has quietly removed its AI-generated English dubs for several anime after days of vicious ridicule. Voice actors and anime fans alike slammed the Banana Fish, No Game No Life: Zero, and Vinland Saga AI dubs, calling them ”soulless,””disrespectful,” and ”hilariously bad.”

Labelled as ”AI beta” under Prime Video’s audio language options, the laughably awful AI-generated voices gained significant attention and widespread mockery for their awkward, flat delivery. Numerous voice actors have lambasted Amazon’s AI dubs, with the National Association of Voice Actors (NAVA) issuing a statement calling them ”AI slop.”
