I want to watch this anime, but one thing worries me. Should I watch it dubbed or subbed? I want to hear Kurumi Tokisaki say 'Ara Ara' in the subbed version, but I can't read subtitles and watch at the same time. Please guide me.

Practice makes perfect.
You get used to reading while watching.
Just keep on....
It happens way sooner than you think.

exactly, the only thing is that in sub there is alot of tension and the voice of multiple characters are actually badass when they scream or say things.

I assume you include kaguya sama in that "all" of yours.

If Kurumis voice is your main concern, watch dubbed, hers is great. People complain about Tohkas being grating but so is her personality 🤷 so I think it fits. Overall is say it’s pretty average as someone who almost exclusively watched dubs (when available).

Both are good. And generally speaking, Anime dubs usually use the Japanese songs. Here, English dubbed songs (in episode, not talking about the op or Ed). They really put that effort in which I appreciate.

nah there are cases where the Japanese voice actor of a character sounds too old for their age, and the number of these anime are alot in both Dub and Sub. That's why watch both of them without any restriction

I endured about one minute of each before squirming in uncomfortable cringe.
Even Liam O'Brien, who made phenomenal performances as Illidan, War or Yasuo has shown absolutely no soul or merit I know he has while voicing Tenma in Monster.
I guess that voice actors are putting as much efforts as they are being paid.

Both are perfectly fine and good quality. I like in dub more personally. Ignore the "dub is trash" people.
