The best dub I've seen is probably GitS: SAC, but even that just didn't feel right to me. Dubs are just anathema to me. It almost always sounds unnatural, and even if it does manage to sound somewhat natural, it just isn't as natural as Japanese. |

| Honestly if i see an anime and there is a dub version then i will watch it along with the sub (like alternating in between them) or if i watch a whole series subbed ill check out one or two episodes dubbed. Depending on the anime and how good the dub is ill re-watch it if it is dubbed. |
| , dubs aren't that bad. Anyway, I'll watch it subbed first, and if it's a really good show I'll rewatch it dubbed. |

SuperRed said: For example, I watch One Piece subbed online and then I bought the Funimation releases to compare it with the subs and see if the dub is better or worse. Have you done this with any anime? I like dubs. So if I really enjoyed the anime then I will watch the dub sometime after the dub comes out. I do not do it to compare though.I do not speak Japanese, so what would be the point of comparing what might as well be gibberish coming out of the character's mouths to the English coming out of the character's mouths? |
| I'm watching Kill ra Kill dubbed right now insan3Spectre said: MattBenz is going to have seizure if he sees this thread..... I'm waiting for his comment lol |
| I like dubs from the last few years of the 90s for some reason. Otherwise sub |
 |
| All the time. I also occasionally re-watch shows I originally watch dubbed in sub form. Re-watching Haganai dubbed at the moment. Japanese is better but it's a very solid dub. Rikka, Kodaka and Sena are perfect but Kobato and a few other characters are kind of iffy. Weirdly, it's still better acted and more faithful to the source material than the godawful live action movie. Fate/Zero's dub beats out the original. With the heavy amount of dialogue it really does help to not have to read subtitles. Plus you can't lose with a cast of people like Crispin Freeman, Kari Wahlgren, Matthew Mercer and Jamieson Price. Sword Art Online's dub is about on par with the Japanese. I really appreciate how Todd Haberkorn was a bit more restrained as Sugou. I think Koyasyu Takehito is a fantastic seiyuu but he was overracting like crazy in that show. Guilty Crown's is also on par. Loses some points for not having the all star cast of the Japanese but makes up for it with Austin Tindle's oddly compelling performance as Shu. He almost made me believe that Shu was a good character. Steins;Gate is probably better than the Japanese but only by a little bit. J Michael Tatum is just unbelievably amazing in that show. The recent Kill la Kill and Toradora dubs are also pretty damn good. Penguindrum's dub is an absolute disgrace to the original. Same goes for Kokoro Connect, Little Busters and about 95% of what Sentai Filmworks put out. |

| I've never rewatched an anime, but I might rewatch Durarara dubbed. |
| never watch dub might just check it out after ive heard it in jap to cringe |
| I wouldn't specifically watch an anime a second time just to see the dub. If I liked an anime and I ended up buying a DVD/BD which had a dub then I would watch the dub on the disc. Not because I want to compare the voices or anything, but just because I'd rather watch it in English. |
| There's no need for all this tension. |
| Saw Attack On Titan twice subbed and after watching the first 13 episodes dubbed I'm considering raising my score from a 7 to an 8, English fits this show way more than I imagined it would. |

| usually i dont bother i just rewatching shows in a different language. i just dont like hearing different voices playing characters that i already like. this goes for when i watch the dub first also. i just see no reason to watch it subbed after i have already seen it dubbed. i think the only exceptions are when i am writing a review (because i believe in grading both the sub and dub versions), when i pick up the dvd/BD and am curious about what the alternative is or i am watching with a friend |

| the only show I watched in dubbed was Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and it was decent |

SeibaaHomu said: The recent Kill la Kill and Toradora dubs are also pretty damn good. Good to know, because I'm about to start both of these soon. I don't usually have this issue because I watch the majority of my anime in dub first anyway. I don't feel the need to watch new stuff right away because I've already got plenty in my backlog to get through in the meantime. Though recently I did see No Game No Life in sub first, and it was good enough that I will probably watch it again in dub. |

| Yes, I usually do when I rewatch stuff after buying it to make sure the discs work properly and it's nice to spice it up by watching a version of the show you haven't seen before. Though sometimes I just stick to one version like with this show: |

| Of course dubs are great! |
| you sound poor |
| Maybe a few episodes but I'm not going to rewatch the whole show. |
 |
| I've done that before, yeah. |
 |
| Yup. |
| yes, im currently doing that with CLannad. |
| Only if its one of favorites like Madoka Magica, Disappearence of Haruhi and Steins Gate. I have also randomly re-watched Lucky Star dub as well. |
| I watch the dubbed version only to laugh at how it was made haha :/ Our italian dub is pretty bad I think... The only italian dubbed anime that I like is Code Geass, I actually cannot hear the japanese pronunciation of Lelouch haha I'm waiting for the Steins;Gate dubbed version next year haha, I really want to hear the voices xD |
 |
| No I don't think you get the same seriousness with dubbed it's just too cheesy |

Kaimon said: DavidHM21 said: No I don't think you get the same seriousness with dubbed it's just too cheesy lolok That right there is the reason I watch One Piece. How anyone can watch the sub is beyond me. I switched from the Naruto dub to sub and I switched from the Bleach dub to sub, but I could never do that with One Piece. |
 |
| French dubs suck for the most part (bar a few exceptions like Bebop, Champloo or Dragon Ball). So nope. |

''I was dead serious''  |
| No because there aren't many anime translated in my native language. But I don't think I'd do it even if they were, because I tend to not rewatch anything of what I've already saw. And by the way, the few shows that are dubbed in my language, the dub is made so badly that would be a crime to give them credit. |
| I used to watch dub first in some anime that were considered to have some of the best dubs. But I've stop doing that after confirming that dubs are for filthy casuals. |
 |
| I sometimes will watch a show dubbed or at least see how the dubs are. For the most part I won't watch something a second time especially in dub but in a few cases I have such as Gurren Lagann and Gundam Seed (where i actually did dubs first then decided to see how the subs were). |
| I tried that for SnK. I paid more attention to the animations/art which was nice, but I just couldn't stand half of the voices. |
Iktoro99 said: Of course, decent English dubs exist, but it just feels bizarre watching Death Note f.e. in English when you know that the story takes place in Japan. Of course, decent Japanese performances exist, but it just feels bizarre watching Chrono Crusade, Kaleido Star, Gunsmith Cats, Emma (not like there's a choice there), Baccano!, Hellsing, Argentosoma, Sherlock Hound, A Wind Named Amnesia, Sakura Wars New York NY, Strike Witches, etc. in Japanese when you know that the story takes place in the US or the UK. Same with how Noir and Le Chevalier d'Eon take place in France, Black Lagoon takes place in Southeast Asia, Michiko and Hatchin in South America, Gunslinger Girl in Italy... |
| Dubs are actually better than subs. I cant stand chinese |
| Sometimes |
Dark_Chaos said: That right there is the reason I watch One Piece. How anyone can watch the sub is beyond me. I switched from the Naruto dub to sub and I switched from the Bleach dub to sub, but I could never do that with One Piece. I don't like the One Piece dub, but I do think they did that scene a little better than the sub. |
| I will rewatch SAO II when the dub comes out next year. SAO is my favorite anime next to Bleach and Haruhi. |
 |
| No, I generally like whatever I hear first and don't like to switch languages. |
| The first anime I started watching was Death Note. I saw the dubbed version, but then when I started to be more into anime, I realized that there was a subbed version of Death Note and regret it that I haven't figured out that earlier. I still haven't watched the subbed version of Death Note though.. Maybe I should start doing that. Subbed is way better than dubbed in my opinion. |
