| Yeah, another reason it's always better in Japanese is that the language retains a certain authenticity. |
| Japanese! I always watch original japanese with spanish subtitles but i like the voice of Alucard in spanish of Spain. |
| ALWAYS DUBBED. ALWAYS!!! all the English voice actors have to drive to do their job well. either that, or they try too hard. the English actress for C.C gave her WAY to much emotion. no matter how they try the English voice actors just mess everything up. the original actors are much better at what they do. |
| I just enjoy the Japanese language more than English... I prefer original before dubs. There's just a few animes that may have some good voice actors in them. |

| It's just plain wrong to say it's always better in japanese. Dubs these days usually do an excellent job of matching the voice with the character, keeping the spirit and meaning of the words, and enhancing the creativity. They're on an even footing. The only argument against it is that the original is better just because it's original, which doesn't make sense at all in a low art entertainment venue. |

| Miyazaki's films are well dubbed, but its also fun to watch it in a different language and gives the whole thing a much more authentic feel. Try it in both and compare for yourself! |
| Like original better, especially on Gintama I can't imagine Bakemonogatari in my language nor english... |
 |
| I don't know if anime is always better in Japanese but I prefer mine to be because it sounds a lot more natural. Dubs that I may think is horrible others may love and dubs that I love everyone else may say are crap so maybe i'm not the best judge of whats better or what's worse... |

| Personal preference. I still believe its personal preference. I started out with a few chinese dubs, then a couple of english dubs, then made the switch to japanese voice-acting and did not turned back. Although I don't really understand japanese, I still stuck to subs. Even if the show is fast paced and loaded with action, I got use to reading the subs and watching the scene without losing track of any parts. Still, japanese voice-acting isn't always the best. Most of them didn't even put out that same quality or effort when trying to speak english lines as compared to when they are speaking in their own language. Also, there are english voice actors that don't seem to even put in any effort in their tone and pitching, and just roll out the lines like as if being forced to do so. Ever watched Disney's movies? The differences between some of those dubs and Disney's voice actors are just unbelievable. |

| i like how 4Kids dubbed yugioh, but edits on graphics werent so wise thing voices actually sound better... example these marik and bakura sound like guys, not like girl |
| Anime IS always better in Japanese, excluding Dragonball Z and pokemon ;] |
| The onyl good anime in dubbed english were : pokermon,yu gi oh and cardcaptors well thats my opinion. |
| I think the Japanese is always better, Anime with English dub ruin the mood, though there may be a few exception to this. |

| I like original language. I'm not a big fan of dubbing most of the time. If it's not broken don't fix it. |

 Don't recommend me something that is still publishing, unless its close to being finished. Don't recommend me anything that isn't licensed. |

| ORIGINAL LANGUAGE = GOOD ENGLISH LANGUAGE = ALSO GOOD THE FIRST ONE YOU LISTEN TO FOR AN ANIME = AUTOMATICALLY THE ONE YOU BECOME BIASED TOWARDS. Srsly, you guys. |

| This will always be an ongoing debate. To me, I like both. There are a lot of factors that are placed into dubbing an anime. The key is picking the right voice and making sure that the voice actor will match the personality of that character.That in itself is not an easy task. This is why most dubbed anime series will often use the same voice actors due to their ability of doing their best to match the character personalities according to the original Japanese script. Sometimes I feel that the fans don't understand what voice actors go through. It is very lengthy process to record and also maintain certain voices for different series. Voice actors go through a lot of training and taking a lot of time to train and create new voices. I am not saying that the fans are not thankful to voice actors. But we must try to understand that doing this job is not easy and if was not for the voice actors making the characters come to life we would not have an anime industry to enjoy. |

| Howl's Moving Castle has good actors for the dub. |
 |
| I try to be 50 50 Watch one episode in sub switch to dub repeat. after doing that for awhile Ill choose to watch which one I think is best. since less stuff is in dub I have watched less dub... |
| i usually watch subbed anime cuz its generally better but there can be good eng dubs too! :3 a few examples of good dubs: Chobits xxxholic Chrono Crusade Ouran High School Host Club |
| Of course it's better in japanese, it is the original language, so it's better ;D What would you think if you watched Simpsons, Family Guy and that stuff in japanese? |

| Yes, always. |
| I may be the only person here who prefers dub! I usually watch animes when im folding laundry or doing chores.....i cant sit there squinting for subtitles, i need the dub!!! I must admit there are a few dubs out there that are awful however, i stick with mainstream stuff and they usually do a good job with that. I have had ppl tell me subs are better b/c u can hear the emotions from the actors voices....however i dont know any japanese (except for mushi mushi/sayonara and arigato lol) ...i miss out on the emphasis of certain words that have the emotion and all that...i have watched many animes subbed and i found my eyes to be very tired quickly lol |
| I always watch in Japanese.. I don't like dubbing much. |
| In Japanese !! The original version is always the best for those things. And it must depend of the voice they use too I think...I don't know how it is for you, but in France some voices are totally horrible (Naruto's voice dor exemple) ... It makes me cry sometimes (T_T) |
| Castle In the Sky -- Disney's English dub Grave of the Firefly's -- Japs Howl's Moving Castle -- English version, It has Christian Bale :d |
| yes |
