I think it all depends on the anime itself.

Look at Hetalia for example; They needed to use stereotypical accents for each country to make it as a joke. But that wouldn't really sound interesting in Japanese... so... The Dub ended up better. [IN MY OPINION]

[IN MY OPINION] There can be times where subs are better~ Like for example; Ouran High school Host Club~ I PERSONALLY thought that the dub was so fucking awful~! >_< After watching a lot of FUNimation's works, you start to realize they use the same voice actors in a lot of their animes. You then get the feel of one character you like having a different characters voice: You then think that the 2nd character's voice just didn't fit that voice like the 1st's one's did. OR IN MY PERSONAL OPINION Some characters *Cough cough Haruhi* Didn't exactly put much effort into their voice.

Sorry for typing too much~ ^_^

But I guess for ME, it's 50/50 on Subs & Dubs~ But everyone has their own opinion! ^^

I prefer dubs. One reason voice acting. I love English voices. I thinks in the dubs the character english voice sounds better then Japanese. Example
Ichigo eng>jap
Sebastian eng>jap
Tamaki eng>jap
No so fond of Japanese voice acting.
But I do watch subs if there is no dub, it's a pain in the ass but if I have to. I don't like skipping all the action in subs, looking down at the screen. Plus I feel more engaged when watching dubs. In subs I feel like I'm observing a foreign conversation. However, i did learn few words in Japanese throughout the subs> BAKA! just because you see 1 bad dub doesn't make them all bad. Plus your bashing (if your english) your own language! And voice actors who try so hard!

I like both but subs better for me

I only watch dubs if they are done right like Hetalia, Hellsing, Black Buttler, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Haruhi, SPICE AND WOLF(Amazing and Beautiful dub)

But then you have some dubs that makes you wana punch a hole in a wall like 4Kids TV or the dubing of K-on

Bananaaddict said:
I personally prefer dubs. This is because...
• I don't like to read anime. I like to watch anime.
• The English script writers already know what is said in the original, and they can alter it if they feel it could be expressed in a more satisfying way. This is why (in my opinion) there are some anime (Hetalia would be a good example) that are actually funnier in English.
• It's much easier to relate to the English VA's. I mean, I speak the same language.
However, this doesn't mean I don't watch subs. If an anime doesn't have a dub, that certainly doesn't stop me from watching it; in fact, I have just about as many favorite Japanese voice actors as English ones.

Depends. I like different versions for different shows.

Take Yu-Gi-Oh, I like dubs better. Same with Naruto, bleach, and others.

But for shows like Nurarihyon no Mago, Haruhi Suzumiya, and Shakugan no Shana, I like subs.

Dubs! This is actually a bad question, everyone has their own opinion on the matter (most people won't even listen to the other people) I think if you speak Japanese, Subs would be better (if you speak Japanese you wouldnt really need subs or dubs would you?XD)but for me, its annoying to look down and read then try to look up

Whatever's available. Or, whatever it's on when I click it. I switch back and forth between the two. Originally, I watched Monster in subs and Fullmetal Alchemist in dubs. I also watched them in dubs and subs and still loved them. Can't say I'm very picky. <3

And when I watched Death Note, I watched the first 17 episodes in dub and the rest in sub because dub wasn't out yet and I really didn't feel like waiting. xD

Katsura-Chan said:
Asian voice actors and voice actresses are known to be more trained and can portray emotions well. Where as American voice actors don't have as much training but they can still get more raw emotion across(*forgot to put that in) and actors and actresses normally go to the on screen stuff. There are a lot of good things to dubs and subs but I've never really cared for it. Subs and dubs kinda go hand in hand. As long as I get the story, it doesn't matter how its told. :)

subs. definitely.

the vast majority of the time i really dislike the dubbed version because the anime is created to be listened to in japanese and if you change the language you are changing the anime itself and in most cases making it not as good.

sometimes it depends on the anime but i'll watch either. Subs are easier for me cause I can do other stuff that way, but I will watch one episode in each if they're available to see which I rather for that particular show.

mostly sub.
whenever i watch a dub i feel like the voice actors somehow don't put as much emotion in the voices as japanese voice actors do
also some english voices just doesn't fit to the character, like Hitsugaya for example. his voice is awesome in japanese but it sucks in english.
and a lot of animes that are dubbed are also cut which i hate. i wanna see all the action.
btw, i don't think it's a problem to read & watch at the same time.

i don't watch many things in eng dub but animes that i watched when i was little (Beyblade, Pokémon etc.) i wanna watch in swedish dub. that's the voices i know & i think that swedish voice actors can put a lot of emotion into it.

I'm about 50/50. I enjoy watching both. But there are some dubs that I find better. Like someone said before, Hetalia was a great dub, the addition of accents were perfect, and I personally thought Switzerland's voice was so much better!
There are some dubs that are quite awful though. Mew Mew Power, dubbed by 4kids. TERRIBLE.

But both subs and dubs are wonderful.....except Mew Mew Power. ^^'

And on a side note, please respect everyone's opinion. Its not nice when you say "ASKFOSIEBDK DUBS SUCK."
