Which version do you prefer?
| Normally I prefer subs for any anime I see. But there are some obvious exceptions. And samurai champloo would be on the very top of that exception list. Seriously. A lot of people who are primarily English speaking have not seen this dubbed. Thats just sad. I just dont get it. What kind of an English speaking anime fan would skip on cowboy bebop or samurai champloo dub. Especialy samurai champloo. That would explain the lower rating for the show on MAL (relative to other half-assed shows on the top anime list). Obviously, you're bound to miss some of the expression when you're reading like that. Honestly, if you havent seen the dub, do yourself a favour and watch the dubbed version of this show. The sub is good, but its crap compared to the dub. Not really. But thats how good the dub version is. |

| Well the subs are good too. But, imo, I think the dubs a whole lot better. It's what I first saw it in too. I'm rewatching it right now though and gotta say, english dubs are still awesome. And it's rare for me to actually like dubs (the only other ones so far is probably FMA and Baccano..maybe one other anime, but yeah not really a dub person). |
 What is your color? Are you satisfied with it? To your ideal color... the color you had always wanted to be dyed... you used to seek it more than now... reflect your true self. Let it release. |
| The dub adds disc scratches (which are awesome) |
aboose said: I saw these posts so I decided to check out the dub, as skeptical as I was. I was right to be skeptical. I personally think that the dubs are horrible, just as bad as any dub. well, they're better than most american cartoons I've come across. In fact |

| Dub was very good but can't compare them as I haven't seen both. |

MaximusTheGreat said: I just joined and this is the first thread I saw. I gave the dubs a try but I couldn't handle it! I dunno if it's cuz I've been watching Samurai Champloo pure subs beforehand, but it's just not the same! Mugen dubbed seems so tame while subbed and Jin seems too excited. It just doesn't fit their character! ehh, wha-? I felt it was the opposite. Mugen was wild and sounded natural (unless you're doubting steve blum's abilities as a VA). And Jin sounded sober and unexcited, just the way he should be. |

| I'm one of those people the Love subs, which doesn't mean I hate dub. However, 90% of the anime that I watch anymore is in sub. There are a lot of dubs that make my ears bleed; come on, I know you know that one dub that just sucked. This had a pretty great cast. Some of the miscellaneous characters were a little irritating, but the main cast was great. In particular, Mugen was great, but I doubt anyone would argue with me there. Although, I kinda want to go find the Baseball episode sub. Its so funny when the do english scenes. |

| While the acting and writing is really good in English (Steve fuckin Blum!) there is one particular episode which just does NOT work in English - The Baseball episode. In this episode we have Americans playing baseball against the Japanese. The American characters however do not speak Japanese, they speak Engrish in both versions. This of course ruins a lot of the "language barrier" humor and jokes that was originally in the Japanese version. I dont say this as a so-called "elitist", but watch the anime subbed! Plus you'll get to hear some Japanese rap which is always fun and Toshii from GINTAMA voices Mugen :D |

| I'm watching in dub right now, its fantasticd, watched the first 3 episodes in sub agian and it doesnt have the same feel, mugen and fuu dont seem to be putting as much emotion into their characters and mugen doesnt come off as awesomely. Not bad but the dub gives it way more style |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I like dubbed coz you don't have to go back a few seconds if you missed something. However subs seem to have more emotional influence, especially in fights when the characters yell out their lungs, the dubbed version just sounds weird. |
| The dub isn't really better than the sub version, but Samurai Champloo's dub is definitely one of the best I've heard along with Bebop and Baccano. |
| Both are pretty good can't really go wrong with either. slight edge to sub on background characters. Mugen is voiced by two very good VA eng/jap. |
| Dub. |
