| Oh man, I can barely remember the last time I watched a dubbed anime, never could get used to the voice actors that the anime producers use (not to say the voice actors suck or anything, just doesn't feel natural to me when watching a Japanese made animation). I guess my first dub anime technically would be Naruto, but I consider Death Note to be more of my first because it was around that time that I really got into anime and stuff. And probably the only reason why I watched it in English dub was because I always thought that it would be hard to find the English sub version of it so I didn't bother searching for it haha. On a side note, Chinese dub (or whatever you call it lol), ain't too bad, but hey maybe it is because I am actually a Chinese (I find this shocking myself too lol). So what are you guys' first anime that you watched in dub and why did you? If you are still watching anime in English dub why so? |
| So what are you guys' first anime that you watched in dub and why did you? pokemon, cuzz thats what aired on tv |
 |
| Pokemon because It was available at the time |
  |
| I once accidentaly heard a bit of the english dub for the OG Ghost in the shell movie and at that moment I had a strong impulse to buy a brand new toaster, plug it in and take a nice long bath with it. |
 |
| Probably Crayon Shinchan After I got into anime none |
| Saint Seiya, Heidi, Dragon ball, Doraemon, pokemon...the list goes on basically everything I watched as a child: pt-pt & pt-br dubs, spanish dubs, french dubs and american dubs After I got internet and was able to choose: none |
絶対大丈夫だよ  |
| For me it was Dragonball Z, since I used to go rent out the VHS tapes every weekend. Up till this day, it still remains as the only anime I'll ever watch in dub. |

| Chibi Maruko-chan because it was aired on tv ! |

| I am pretty sure most people's first anime would be dubbed unless, you know, they're a weeaboo from the start or they live in Japan. |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| ...Pokemon. Being the first anime I watched on Cartoon Network, I didn't really have a choice. I still really like the original Pokemon dub, but the rest are BLAH. |

| I cannot remember it very well because it was when I'm stil kid. I guess Dragonball because it's aired on tv. |

True true, Pokemon dubs really felt alright to me, probably the only few 'animes' that I would watch in dub up till this date. |
| It's easier to ask me what first series I watched subbed. That would probably be Bakemonogatari. |
| Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Cardcaptors, and Yugioh.....in that order. ^All classics, all amazing, all better than 99% of the trash today. |
^Don't even lie....most of you people KNOW the lyrics to this song even if you haven't heard it in 10+ years. Easily one of the BEST dubbed anime OPs of ALL TIME. |
| Obvious shows that aired when I was younger like Pokemon, Digimon, Dragon Ball, One Piece, YuGiOh etc. ...but now, I go nowhere near a stinking dub. |

| Technically the first one I watched was Pokemon but since I only ever watched in every once in a while, I always say Death Note because I actually ended up watching that in it's entirety. And I've been watching dubs ever since. Mostly because I don't know Japanese and subs annoy me. I find it hard to focus on the action going on because I'm trying to read what they're saying. It very distracting |
lapotatoe said: Call me retarded, but i mostly watch dubs. I'd never call you a retard for that, I praise you for admitting you like dubs, it's easier to understand dubbed anyway and I also admit I watch dubs once in a while. First dub? Probably Digimon or Kochikame. Until this day, I've never found Kochikame except with Spanish dub, good thing I understand it. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| Technically, the first one is Pokemon. But the first dubbed one that I completed was Attack on Titan. |
 |
| Spirited Away, kinda weird since this is shown on Disney channel for whatever reason, still worth it though |
 |
| FMAB The Dub was simply amazing. And Pokemon in Hindi too, if you want to get technical. |
 |
| It was definitely Pokemon, because that was available at the time. Plus it entertained my eight year-old mind. |
 "Out of the night that conquers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul."  |
| Probably Hamtaro since my parents gave me some of the episodes on VHS and I rewatched the shit out of them. The first anime I watched subbed was OreImo which I watched about 10 years later. |
  |
| Texhnically Pokemon when i was like 8. But for when i started actually getting in to anime as an adult, Darker than Black. Still to this day one of my favorites |
| Probably pokemon. Which was also the first anime i can remember watching |
| Aside from my childhood, the very first anime I've ever seen was Code Geass and in dubbed and even to this day, I actually kinda really liked the dubbed version. |
 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| First dub was Pokemon/digimon etc, but the first dub I watched because I wanted to was the original YuGiOh series. |
| Pokemon was my first dub anime along with YuGiOh |
 |
| Pokemon if you want to be technical, watching TV as a kid. Not sure if it was the original pokemon though... I know it aired on Boomerang for awhile but I'm not sure if that was my first or if I watched Pokemon Diamond & Pearl or something instead at first. After that it would be Dragon Ball, it was introduced to me and I watched it Dubbed. Didn't even know about the whole 'Dub/Sub' at the time. Didn't know Anime was japanese, etc. I just was given something to watch, simply. I still watch dub, I always prefer dub if it's available. I prefer hearing my own native tongue and not having to read subtitles. Not really much reason to it. |

| Whatever was on TV at that time, probably some Pokemon was my first. But, after I started watching subbed, I never looked back and never will watch anything dubbed. |
 |
| I haven't watched a dubbed anime yet, and I don't plan to. |
| That would be the latin american dub of Dragon Ball Z. The only dub that I would ever watch again. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XJmp3gZ4fg8 |
 |
| Naruto...mistakes were made. They had the DVD disk in the library so I thought why not...never again. I did see pokemon dub on TV later on which was better than naruto's imo, but I still would rather watch in sub or raw |

| Gintama obviously hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn |
| My first dub was either Soul Eater or '03 FMA. It also happened to be one of my first experiences with anime since DBZ as a young teen. I would say they were both above average dubs looking back on it now although I'm definitely a sub guy now. |

| First anime I watched was on TV and I believe it was naruto. |
| CLAMP School Detectives, because that was my first anime ever and way back in 2003, dubs were the only ones available on Animax. |
