| If a dub comes out, will you give it a chance or go "Ew, ew, EW! It's a stinking dub! Don't let me catch anyone using a clip from it on Youtube!" I ask because there seems to be quite some hate for dubs collectively, a lot of people seem to have the viewpoint of the latter group I mentioned above. Making me believe they hate dubbing in general. Bonus Question: OK, as you'll quickly realize with me: I AM OBSESSED WITH ANGEL BEATS! Dunno why, it's a big obsession with me. Why do people hate the dub so much? Justt curious, maybe I just never watched most of the episodes in Japanese? I only watched the 1st 3 in Japanese. Personally I like Japanese voices but srill perfer dubs if I can watch'em legally. |

| I don't hate dubs But badly dubbed anime is.. Actually I don't give a shit, not like I ever watch dub. I do, however, watch dubs on youtube occasionally just to check them out, if they have good dub, I praise it, if the dub is bad, I don't comment on it. If I feel the dub is okay, and I see people criticizing it, I'll tell them I find the dub okay. maybe throw in a compliment or 2 for several dub voices. I remember coming across Clannad dub, and I really liked Kotomi's voice. While I didn't feel that her voice suited Kotomi, I liked her voice. |

| I don't say eww. I just don't watch it or have any inclination to watch it, as I've probably already watched the sub(which to me almost always has solid voices) and or would choose it over the dub anyways and just have no interest in watching something where the audio has been changed. |

| I have watched quite a few of my favorite anime in dub (Cowboy Bebop and the first quarter of FMA Brotherhood), and I can enjoy a good dub. While I prefer watching anime subbed, I will always try out the dub if I hear good things about it and sometimes it works for the better, other times not so much. |

| I dislike dubs when people have flat voices. I also dislike it a lot when women try to imitate how high pitched Japanese women (or voice actors) sound. So you get really unnatural and forced sounding voice acting for female characters a lot of the time. Also, a lot of characters are miscast. Like Ouma Shu from the Guilty Crown dub sounds like an adult. He's supposed to be 15. I think one of the big problems though, is the actual animation itself. A lot of anime features dialogue with characters having fairly static and blank faces, with only the mouth moving (as opposed to other facial features also being animated like you'll find in Disney animation). So when I actually hear them speaking something that I can understand on my own, it just adds another layer of "this feels wrong", because there's just a static expression that wouldn't exist in real life. When I hear it in Japanese, I don't understand it, so even though its still the same, I don't have that immediate and instant connection and I don't notice how weird it actually feels. Also, awkward pauses and line delivery because of the challenge of synchronizing the mouth animation to the translated dialogue doesn't help. But I like some dubs. HOTD's dub was amazing. Baccano's dub is amazing. I want to watch Black Lagoon dubbed. |

| I watch in subs but I don't hate dubs. I just prefer subbed anime. |

| I watched FMA dubbed and from what I remember I enjoyed it since I finished all 56 episodes. As of right now I just prefer subs because that's what I'm used to hearing. I have had my share of just awful voice acting though. |

| I'll never understand the dub hate. Sure a lot are bad and most are inferior to the original voices but I'm pretty sure most everyone would prefer to understand what's being said more than they enjoy reading subs. Hell I don't mean to be racist but a good amount of Japanese voices sound the sane to me (most likely since I can't understand what they're saying) |

| Only bad ones. Nowadays mos tof dubs are of a good quality and some shows are better watched dubbed for immersion into setting (Bebop, Baccano!, FMA:B, for example) In some times it even fixes some dialogue problems(certain sexist lines in FMA:B are replaced with far more fitting ones) Bad dubs are bad, but dubs overall depend on situation and quality. |
 |
| The people who do apparently stand by some bullshit principle that dubs are inherently inferior simply by not being the original (or not Japanese). That's probably not why they hate dubs collectively but it sure looks like it from where I'm standing. I only hate the bad ones, of course. You hardly find bad dubs nowadays anyway, so it's getting more and more apparent that people who hate dubs collectively or have a kneejerk reaction to post a copypasta "ugh, a dub" on YouTube are just trolling to get attention. |

| I'm not a fan of English dubs, since I'm not familiar enough with the language and sometimes I miss a line or two, especially when the characters have strong accents (Baccano or the black guy from Bebop). However, if I get the rare chance to watch an anime in Italian (I'm italian, btw), I'll do it, even if it means shitty voice acting + terrible video/sound quality. Most of the time, a terrible dub is still better than subtitles, and otaku really go overboard with this dub/sub war. |
 |
| as i said in many threads, when i download for my collection/portable hdd i go for 1080p BD rips with dual audio. why? cause when i watch anime on my tv i can live with no so good dubs if i dont have to read subs and just wanna relax and enjoy the anime. |
| im not a native english speaker and subs are easier for me i cant really say i "hate" dubs, but i always avoid them |
 |
| I generally dislike dubs but I absolutely adore a good dub. I.E. Hotd, baccano, fma:b, fmp, black lagoon. I'm sure a forgot a few but whatever. |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| I want more dubbs of anime i wanna watch all the Japanese voice actors sound like a) they can be placed in 7-10 different categories of voices b)REALLY weird. But i do like subbs because... well i don't actually understand exactly what is coming out of their mouths so it just sounds like a collection of awesome sounding noises (Like how they pronounce their character symbols) |

| I'm sure the subs vs. dubs debate will start raging again... Some badly localized series that I watched many years ago soured me a bit on dubs, but to be fair, the dubs weren't the real problem; the heavy editing was the real defect in these series. Battle of the Planets, the heavily edited version of Gatchaman that ran in the United States in the late 1970s, is the example that I best remember. These days, I always watch subs. Some series aren't available dubbed, of course, but even for those who are, I'm simply used to watching the original and reading the subtitles. I'm not opposed to dubs, and if I hear of one that gets a lot of praise, I might watch it. If a dub truly is bad, I would prefer not to have to experience it (unless it is terrible to the point of being funny). And I truly hate badly localized, heavily edited series. I am a very fast reader - at least in English - so subtitles aren't much of a distraction for me. I'm also an avid fan of opera, which always has subtitles (or supertitles when seen live in the theater). Even if the opera is sung in English, the style of singing makes it hard to understand, so subtitles are often necessary. Having seen many operas has definitely made me accustomed to subtitles. Not everybody reads as quickly as I do; for people who are a little slower, subtitles might be more of a distraction. I notice this when I watch something with French subtitles. Since I'm not quite fluent in French, I read it more slowly and have to think about it, so the subtitles can be distracting. It is good language practice, however, so I make a point of occasionally watching an anime series with French fansubs. Maybe I should look for something with a French dub. |
| It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. |
| I love good dubs as next as the next guy, but if they sound like they don't even try than I won't even bother with it. It gets a little tiring reading subs so I switch it up with a good dub. |
| I don't hate dubs. I don't like them either. Good dubs, bad dubs, average dubs.... I don't care. Original language is the only way to go for a language enthusiast like myself. If I could do it, I'd read raw manga scans or import original Japanese volumes.... but I can't read Japanese, so I have to make do with the next best alternative---> English translations. |
 |
| I'm gonna go with both, cause for me they're collectively bad ones. Then again can't really imagine Afro Samurai without SLJ and Ron Perlman. |
| The Forbidden Four: Clannad, Elfen Lied, Chaos;Head and Higurashi. You recommend it to me - you die. If there aren't at least 3 series per year centered around some overpowered badass, voiced by Nakata Jouji then there's something wrong with anime industry. |
| I watch dubs and usually prefer to watch dubs but I've been watching a lot more subbed now-a-days mostly because I watch a lot newer shows that don't have dubs yet and I don't want to wait. And in some cases, although usually in older anime, the dubs change up part of the story so I'll watch it subbed then. |
| I watch subs and dubs, but I only watch the dubs If its from funimation. Every other company, Especially 4kids, ruin the whole entire anime for me. |
| ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... |
| Just the bad ones, but a dub that I'd consider bad (bad as in unsatisfactorily acted) is extremely rare. It is mostly confined to older anime dubbed in the 80s and 90s. |
| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| There is no reason that anybody should hate a dub, regardless of how bad it is. If you aren't interested in watching it, then nobody is forcing you to; why should you care? |
| The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth |
| Just the bad ones, where they don't even try to sound realistic or match their emotions, the voices don't match the characters at all, or they're just bland and boring... Not all dubs are bad, some are actually really good. Take Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and it's sequels/counterparts for an example of a great dub. =^-^= |
