Is there a way to change the language to Japanese when watching anime

I don't want to clutter up my Movies & TV library. Do you happen to know if I buy both the Simuldub and Original Japanese Version, will they combine into one show tile in the library screen and allow me to switch between subtitles and dub when watching an episode?

You have to buy the Japanese specific version

Hello BradShadwick, my name is Vanessa, and I would be happy to help.

Surely frustrating, in theory the solution to the problem you are experiencing is quite simple. When installing a language pack in Windows, it changes the display language
of certain applications, but not the system in general. This means that even if you have the display language of your system configured to English, applications that use
the installed language pack will display their content in the language of the pack.

In your case, the Japanese language pack is changing the display language of Windows and Xbox apps. To fix this problem, you need to uninstall the Japanese language pack.
Once you have done this, all apps will return to displaying their content in the display language of your system, which in your case is English.

If you want to continue using the Japanese keyboard, you can install it separately. To do this, open the Settings app, go to "Time & Language" and then click "Languages". In the "Installed languages" section, click the "Manage languages" button. In the "Manage languages" window, click the Japanese language pack and then click the "Options" button. In the "Language options" window, uncheck the "Install keyboard" checkbox and then click the "OK" button.

Once you have done this, the Japanese keyboard will be installed without changing the display language of your system.

Here are the detailed steps on how to uninstall the Japanese language pack:

Steps on how to uninstall the Japanese language pack in Windows

Open the Settings app.
Go to "Time & Language".
Click "Languages".
In the "Installed languages" section, click the Japanese language pack.
Click the "Uninstall" button.
In the confirmation window, click "Uninstall".
If you are still having problems after uninstalling the Japanese language pack, you can try updating Windows to the latest version. Windows updates can sometimes fix language-
related issues.

If you are unable to resolve your issue, please let me know so that I can research the issue. As far as I know, this is something that should be fixed by Windows itself, but if not, I will need to investigate. Good luck!

Certainly, I investigated to strengthen what I tell you, and part of the information

I guess it depends on if you watch the version dumbed down for US audiences or the original Adult aimed Japanese version. Even Dragonball and Dragonball Z were dumbed down for western audiences with some of the violence edited..

While western audiences have come to accept that There can be adult cartoons besides Fritz the Cat thanks to the Simpsons, Family guy and Southpark. There still seems to a misconception that Anime is aimed at children, so when it is dubbed into english the
language is often made suitable for children and some scenes are edited for content. Bleach though aired on Adult Swim, and while the language was softened the content was not. Bleach is far from a regular dime a dozen anime simply from the fact it was rated
in the top ten for most of the ten plus years it's been running.

You have to look at it from another perspective, Anime is an accepted form of Entertainment aimed at Adults in japan and is the equivalent of an american Adult TV series using a billion dollars worth of CGI to do the special effects. The difference is that
the Japanese choose to do series like this in an animated form because it is millions of dollars cheaper than doing a live action version. It's just the preconceived prejudices against animated shows of western society that look down upon it and dismiss it
as not being a suitable form of entertainment for adults.

I solved the problem for anyone that ends up with the same question.

Don’t just set the language, you have to set the region as well (and likely only the region has to change). When I changed the region to Japan, the game installed in Japanese. It did not do this when I had set the language.
