I don't know if I should pick sub or dub, my friend said that dub is better, because you can miss action while reading the sub, but I'm a quick reader so that won't be a problem, but what do you really recommend, sub or dub?

Dub, there is a lot of episodes so it's easier to get through

Plus its not a bad dub so that's a positive

Sub all the way, the dub is painful to listen to.

I would say dub cuz they often talk a lot during the fights if I remember correctly and it just sucks if you have to read while they are fighting cuz u re missing all the action.

Subbed, but I would recommend watching at least ten minutes in dub so you can learn to appreciate the Japanese version more.

If you have a passable reading level, you won't miss anything when reading subs, especially in a show like Fairy Tail, where most fight scenes involve a lot of powerups so you can really take your sweet time with reading the subs. Even in action-heavy shows, I've never had a problem with missing something because I was reading the subs.

Also for Fairy Tail specifically, the voice acting is much better on the sub, I just can't stand how most of the English VAs sound of the dub

Subs are always better for anime. Plus, I know Japanese so I don’t look at the subtitles.

Fairy Tail nothing.

Watch Gurren Lagann first on your PTW list, then choose ANYTHING else.

Heres my hot take. Neither.

But if you're insistent on it, watch the dub drunk so you don't feel like you wasted hours of your life on that trash.

Dub is fine and don't listen to haters, Fairy Tail isn't trash.
It's not anything great, but it's a fun show.

drop it.. fairy tail is a cliche fanservice shounen with mc that always win because of plor armor.

I watched the Dubbed version. It is really good. It's a pretty decent battle shounen too. Probably skip the fillers tho.

I at least think the dub is less annoying.

I prefer the sub, but the dub isn't bad at all. You honestly can't go wrong with either...

I encourage all anime lovers (or beginners) to watch anime sub. It really brings the authenticity out and it just sounds so much better to me. I cant watch anime dub like at all. Never have never will. But I say watch any way that feels right to you. Although I strongly encourage sub.

Also Fairy Tail isn't trash. It was the first anime I really watched all the way through its fun has good fight scenes, good characters, and its overall enjoyable.

This is a bit late but here is my comment:
I've watched anime for over 12 years watching only sub.
But after watching FT both sub and dub i can confidently say that the dub version of fairy tail is actually better than sub.
Amazing English Cast, don't listen to the haters, they're just little kids.
