Do you watch new anime RAW?
| I watch English subs that have been translated from Russian subs, which were originally translated from Korean subs using google translate. I do this while watching with Chinese audio. |
 |
| Of course I am going to wait for the sub. I like to know what is happenening, since I hardly know any Japanese. |
 |
| gonna wait for the damn subs since i do not understand japanese language |
| I always wait for the subs because I wouldn't understand anything otherwise... The only exception is Monogatari Second Season which I always watch raw. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Subs ONRY. Sometimes raw manga/manhwa. |

 |
| I doubt that there are people who do that.... well not unless you're someone who understand their language. |
 |
| Most of the time, I wait for the subs but if I have knowledge on the source material(For instance, White Album 2), I watch it raw. |
 |
| I don't know why it is so taboo. Anime is still very enjoyable even if you cannot understand the anime. They make episodes available raw on dvd's and you can do the same thing. |
| Nah, I'm not that impatient. Besides I would probably get bored if I was going to watch something twice even if I didn't understand it the first time. |
| i always wait for the subs. if i watched a RAW episode i wouldn't understand 90% of the talk.. by that it will takes away the enjoyment factor. |

Subs are never faster than the raw version. |
| I've tried watching raws at someone's house on their TV. Couldn't really understand half of what they're saying, so I didn't really get the character's actions. It just so happens the anime is Noucome, and I'm treated with a scene where some girl gets her breasts groped by another girl for a good 5 minutes. And I had no freaking idea why the hell she was doing that. I gotta learn more Japanese. Subs for now. |

Subs are never faster than the raw version. Unless I understood japanese near perfectly, subs would always be better, since you get a more full understanding of what's happening. If you're a person that does understand it, I don't see why not. |

rederoin said: Oh sorry. I was under the impression that you were saying that because raws come out first, they are better.

| For the vast majority of people, there is literally no point in watching raw if you don't at least understand basic Japanese. Other than a few basic words and phrases, you wouldn't understand anything actually relevant to the show, so it seems like a complete waste of time to me, unless the show was just that reliant on situational cues (like a simple slice of life or something). Except for very rare occasions, I always wait for the subs to come out. I don't use anime as a tool to assist in learning Japanese, so I enjoy it through my mother language. The only exception was the Chuunibyou OVA, the Hidamari Sketch Graduation OVA (once it gets to my mailbox) and the SKET Dance OVA (heck, I watched raw then went ahead and subbed it myself; you can thank me with a Karen). With services like Crunchyroll providing ~3 day or less since time of broadcasts subs, I don't see the difficulty in waiting. I mean, don't we do other things to pass the time besides watching anime? |

| The only show which I watched raws (I also tried to watch the live stream ahahaha) was Umineko since I'm a big fan (and I had read the VN already so it was easy to know/understand what was going on). |
| What in the hell kind of question is that?? If ya dont understand Japanese fluently, why the hell would ya watch the raw only to be utterly confused by everything but the animation and if ya do understand Japanese, why the hell would ya bother to wait for the subs?? |
 |
| I wait for the sub of course... |

they license the most popular shows in north america. you have to understand that what is popular in japan is not necessarily going to be popular in north america or vice versa. |

| Nah, never. Wouldn't want to rewatch those episodes and only watching them subbed makes not much sense for me. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Even without Japanese tv you can watch the raw way before the subs appear. Unless CR starts releasing anime at the same time as it airs in Japan, subs will always be slower. I'm honestly surprised that I even need to explain this. |
| I only watch the raws for OVAs as they usually take a while before the subs come out. |

| If I can speak/understand fluent Japanese, of course I would watch raw. |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| i always wait for subs, but there are a couple select animes where i have watched the raws, just because i was too excited for the new episode ;; |
| Watch in RAW, with my level of Japanese it's quite possible ^_^ The only exception for now is mecha animes, especially when they use all that terminology which sometimes even hard to understand in our own language.... |
| Nope, i always wait for subs even when i'm rly hyped for it. |
 |
| I normally wait, but there have been a few exceptions. The second season of Gundam 00 wasn't simulcasted and I was too excited to wait until the next day in order to watch it. Also watched the livestream of Shingeki weekly. |
 |
| Wait for sub or I will just get confused when watching RAW. |
| Unless I understand Japanese (Which I probably never will) I wait for the sub. |

| I wait for the subs, i dunno japanese |
| always wait for subs, if no subs then dub if neither then i wouldnt watch it of be forced to drop it (which has unfortunately happened on a few shows) |
Death_Raja said: What show have you watched where there was no subs but there were dubs?always wait for subs, if no subs then dub if neither then i wouldnt watch it of be forced to drop it (which has unfortunately happened on a few shows) |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| some of the older shows i have looked into didnt have any links on the subbing sites i look at but i found the links on dubbing sites, but mostly i found a few that didnt have either and the only links i could find were raw |
| Since I can't speak Japanese, I wait an extra few hours/days to watch a new episode. |
  |
| Now a days I watch the raw (as in on TV here in Japan). Studied in college, so watching TV really helps with understanding. So I tend to watch the Raws even though I only understand about 40-60% of whats being said. Unless it's super technical then I'm completely lost. |
