weird question, but I grew up watching ouran meaning I watched it all in English. just recently I suddenly came to the realization that 'kiss kiss fall in love' is not only in the English version but In the subbed version too, so now my mind is like 'all these years, those people that I talked about ouran with, I just assumed they watched dub because they knew the damn lyrics.'

please this has been bugging the shiiiiii out of me I gotta know.

I watched it subbed. The dub didn't come out until a couple of years after I'd finished the series, since I followed the fansubs as it was airing in Japan.

The ONLY Dub I ever watched were the following:

>Pokemon (because OF COURSE!)

>Cardcator Sakura (I didn't know any better...)

>Yugioh Duel Monsters (Criticize it all you want, the voices WERE damn good, everything else...not so much!)

>Sailor Moon (The Viz dub is LEGIT GOOD, seriously!)

>Cowboy Bebop (Dub > Sub, CHANGE MY MIND!)

Watched in dub it was actually really enjoyable and the few anime where I liked the English intro better than the original.

Always subbed.

I see many praises for the dub here and I find it surprising. There's a lot of humorous moments in Ouran that I don't think would ever carried over well to dub. I honestly expected it to be a cringe fest, but guess not?

Sub because the dub straight up didn't exist when I watched it.

"kiss kiss fall in love" is just rather awkward English phrasing anyway.

Both -- subbed in 2006 more or less as it came out, and then dubbed in 2009 when I bought the DVDs. The dub director clearly liked and respected the material, and made it as faithful as possible without straying into overliteral "read the subtitle script verbatim" territory. Some honorifics like Senpai are retained.

It helps that Ouran HSHC itself has enjoyed "evergreen" status, but when I screened the first four episodes dubbed at a convention a couple years ago (back when we could still have such things!), the room was packed, with no shortage of fans singing along to the OP.

Sometimes, the only way to find out is to see and hear it for yourself.

I watched it dubbed. Ouran was one of my first 20 or so shows and I got into anime watching dubs so that's why.

I definitely prefer subs now though

Ouran was actually the first "real anime" I ever watched about 11 years ago and I watched it dubbed.

I have since rewatched the subbed version, which I much prefer.

I watched the sub first because that was the only option I had at the time, but a couple of years later the English dub came out and I was really impressed by it, so I rewatched in English.

Season 2 when?

I watched it in subs because I prefer sub over dub. I haven't heard the dubbed version but I don't plan on watching it

Neither. Nevertheless, I strongly advise anyone against viewing any series NOT in the original language.

I watched it in dub and it was OK though the twins' voices annoyed me. They deliberately made them as whiny as they could it seems.

I really like the dub and I like the opening more in dub but it’s probably because I have nostalgia for it. The oringinal voice acting is great and better but for me it just felt strange since I grew up watching the show with different voice actors.

I watched the dub during my first runthrough when I was younger, and really haven't tried the sub. I'm also the kind of guy who needs to watch a dub for shows, though, bc it's extremely difficult for me to watch subbed series due to audio processing bullshit :x

I watched both. The sub when I was young and then when it aired on TV, dub.

Dub because it was one of the earliest anime I watched and I didn't know any better.

I watched the dub. Both are really good but the dub made Haruhi more believable as a boy in the first episode than the sub.

I really liked the dub and i'd definitely recommend it. Haven't seen the sub except in one of those 'funny clips' videos but the dub is fine. Probably one of the better dubs I've seen.
