| Just the bad ones. I usually watch the sub as i prefer it, but there is the occasion where I'll watch an entire series in dub. It all depends on the availability as well as the quality of the voice acting. |
 |
| I don't hate them collectively, nor do I only hate ones that are ''objectively bad"(yeah I know). Steins;Gate is a good dub when it comes down to it, I just dislike it for specific reasons. |

| I do not hate dubs. Though I really prefer subs cause some of the voices are really done well. Dubs are enjoyable if the voices are done properly. And...I do like the Angel Beats ! Dub. Though I've watched both sub and dub of the anime, I don't think the dub is bad. |

The only ones I've watched in French dub were Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi, Ookami kodomo no Ame to Yuki, and Great Teacher Onizuka. 'Only a few' ? You're being generous. :/ Movies usually have better dubs so good voice actors for Ookami Kodomo or Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi is no surprise, I guess. Watched GTO a looong time ago so I don't remember how good the dub is; definitely gotta check that out. For my part, the anime with great french dubs I remember watching were Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop. |

| Dubs don't go well with Japanese anime. When I watched Pokemon for the first time in English dub (and have not watch any other anime in Japanese dub), I find that it is quite okay and have watched for over 400 episodes. But once I started watching anime in Japanese dub, I find that English dub are pretty dumb (no offense) when compared to the Japanese one. Maybe because I find the Japanese language much more pleasing to the ears than English ones. |
| I rarely hate dubs, so whenever I do hate one, there isn't much room for debate. |
 |
| Only the bad ones. I didn't watch many dubbed anime though. I hate bad subs as well (Check out DB series sub) |

| I would have to watch dubs in order to hate on them. And if I hated on them, why would I watch them? |

| I don't hate dubbed animes, but I still don't watch them. Although 1st Anime I watched was Dubbed, when I found the subs, I never watched Anime in dub again. I tried, but it didn't feel right. I think anime lacks something when it is in dubs. But that's just my opinion.. |

| I like English dubs, however a couple I've seen have been pretty bad. That can be a good thing but is usually a bad thing (a few dubs are so bad they are funny). Anyways, I'm trying to find a way to watch anime with French dubs and English subtitles. StardustPhantom said: 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. Angel Beats is very err...Japanese-y. Its the kind of show that seems to have a lot of Japanese err...I can't think of the word. But it feels very Japanese and like a show that would be hard to dub. Plus Sentai Filmworks dubbed it, and they don't have a good track record with English dubs. |

| I only watch dubs if I originally watched the anime with dubs, or if I can't find the subbed version. But I don't hate them collectively, just the bad ones. Some dubs are pretty damn fine though, s-CRY-ed dubbed is more entertaining than the japanese version, and SoulTaker dubs make the main character actually badass instead of whimpy. |
| The ones I've seen I consider bad. There've been couple dubbed series where one or two characters have appealing voices, but not once I've been satisfied with the whole English voicing cast in any anime. |
| I prefer watching dubs since I rather understand what they are saying than reading but if there are anime that I really want to watch and there are no dubs/can't wait for the dub then I watch it subbed.Basically I like both. |

Lanik said: I like English dubs, but I refuse to watch the really bad ones, like Buso Renkin and Certain Magical Index. As far as mediocre dubs go, however, the only reason I would watch them is because they have at least one of my favorite voice actors. I used to watch English dubs indiscriminately, but now I'm rather picky about them. Index had a bad dub? I mean I know they completely miscast Kuroko's voice, but.... |

Yes, and their biggest miscast was Accelerator. They gave him a very bland, weak and monotone voice. Just listen to what they did to him. Apparently the video is not available in my country, but he was fine when I watched the dub. If you mean the laugh, I seem to recall it wasn't all that great in the original either. |

Lanik said: Honestly, why do people insist on defending his voice actor? Because they didn't think he wasn't all that bad perhaps? I mean you wouldn't defend something if you thought it was bad, and that goes for me too, so perhaps your opinion isn't exactly as popular as you thought it was. Just saying. |

SeibaaHomu said: Link_of_Hyrule said: What if I like watching my anime dubbed and want to see certain show in dubbed form but it turns out to be really shitty?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? That's why I hate Sentai. I'm still praying for the day where Funimation or Bang Zoom or anyone gets their hands on Mawaru Penguindrum and gives it the dub it deserves That's different then; if you only watch dubs and an otherwise good anime gets an awful dub, you have good reason to hate it. |

| I don't care for dubs, I can read quickly and the voices sound more natural in japanese tongue. Dubs have to sync the voices with the characters lip movements, which leads to some awkward and unnatural sounding conversations. |

| i don't hate it..but i prefer subs than dubs.. and frankly, i prefer watching anything in their original language...doesn't matter if its French, Spanish or Arabic i prefer the original, eventhough Christian Bale or Johnny Depp are the ones doing the dubs.. SUBS FTW!!! |

gamer2710 said: Five words: low budgets and tight schedules. In most other animation, voice recording is done first, and the animation is tailored to fit the vocal performances. But with anime, the production schedule forces the voice and animation work to be done roughly in parallel. (According to some NA industry figures at conventions, the Japanese audience has been conditioned not to expect perfect flap/speech coordination.) Of course, the same thing carries over into foreign-language dubs and their efforts to create accurate, natural, and flap-fitting dialogue. Though I'd rather they ignored the flaps once in a while if they make the dialogue too unnatural.DerpHole said: They do this in Japanese too.

I saw the first 4 episodes, where the most relevant characters are Touma, Index, Kanzaki, and Stiyl, they fit well enough for me to sit through 4 episodes. Accel's voice is just meh to me. I don't like it but I don't hate it either, just disappointed, tbh. |
Zalis said: On the flipside, if the mouth flaps were tailor made instead of generic, it'd be harder to do a foreign language voice over without it sounding awkward compared to the lips, I imagine. Would be nice if dubbing companies had the liberty and the budget to tweak the mouth flaps as the abridged series makers do, but that's trivial compared to having one video for multiple audio tracks to save space. What I really want is Sentai Filmworks to hire competent fucking English script writers.gamer2710 said: Five words: low budgets and tight schedules.

| i prefer subs because they come out first ( I like to keep up to date) but other then that i can care less if its sud or dub as long as the show is good |
| Generally prefer subs. Helps me with Japanese listening practice. Dubs if they're not terrible I can deal with, but I usually prefer sub. |
| The dubs that I think that do a bad job at it. Period. |
