| I actually prefer the dub. The casting was quite good and the adapted script actually holds up pretty well. |
| Don't know what people in this thread are smoking. The dub is annoying, the narrator isn't funny at all, and the sub has some of the best VA work of any anime. |

| Both are good. Watched it subbed, then on my (not fully) rewatch I decided to try out english dub and it's still fun. It's up to preference, but as someone who suffered with some soulless voice acting cough cough spanish Jojo's part 1 cough cough I can say that this one is one of the few shows I would recommend in either sub or dub. If you like narrator on drugs, go for dub. If you prefer a more faithful adaptation, go for sub. There are some YouTube clips with some of the funniest moments from dub, so you can check those out if you don't like to rewatch (after, of course, finishing the anime for the first time) :) |

I wouldn't say 'all' the anime. Imo Marina Inoue did a 100/10 job at her Sodachi Oikura role (Owarimonogatari and Zoku Owarimonogatari, the difference in the tone is surprising). As for JP dub, I'd say the most notable VAs are Chika's (I'm a Machikado Mazoku fan, so hearing her voice was a bliss. This one is mostly preference, btw), Kaguya (obvious reason) and Ishigami. As for the rest... well, they are there. They are good but not the best. I'm also talking as someone who only studied japanese and doesn't catch 50% of anime conversations, so my whole opinion may be wrong. What I can say for sure, though, it's that at least the VAs aren't as high-pitched nor irritating as some other school shows, which is a bonus for me. |

| watch sub first then dub. both of them are perfect. |
| What I like from the dub is the narrator, but I prefer the sub in general |
 |
| One of the few shows where I 100% prefer the dub |
| It's a perfectly good dub, so go ahead and start with that. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Go for the dub if u prefer it, n its very good too |
BluephoenixCG said: The dub does "ruin" the joke of narrating events very intensely/seriously, but it also succeeds in being both funny and entertaining in its own right.this is a really complicated question for this particular anime actually lol the main joke with the narrator in the sub is that he's taking everything way too seriously, treating it all like an intense wrestling match he's commentating. In the dub however, the lines are delivered such that the narrator is clearly in on the joke and laughing alongside the audience. this ruins a lot of the original quality, but the general over the top nature of the anime is preserved, and often enhanced by the dub performances. both are really good, but they're good for different reasons. |

Varekk said: I'm curious, not counting the narrator, what is so different about the sub/dub in terms of comedy?I hate the dub so so much. The styles of humor are completely different, so it’s not just a matter of language. They’re different shows, basically. I watched subbed before dubbed came out, so I’m biased towards that version, but really it comes down to comedic preference. That said, I do think that sub is better in every other way. The voices fit the characters better, and the voice acting is phenomenal, as apposed to the dub where the voice acting is OK at best. |

I mean yeah I did say as much I've watched the show all the way through both subbed and dubbed, and had thoroughly enjoyable experiences both times. they're both really funny and make for an amazing anime, but for different reasons. the dub plays into the over the top performances and sheer ridiculousness of the situations, whereas the sub tends to intentionally take things more seriously to play up that ridiculousness through irony and contrast |

Finn-the-Human said: They're talking about the narrator, who sounds like he's gone insane from having to put up with Kaguya/Shinomiya's romantic stalemate. I've never really watch it in dub, I guess it's never too late to watch it again. I'm curious by what makes it funnier in dub. |

hhiskey said: I will be in the minority. But I watched it both subbed and dubbed and honestly I didn’t really like it subbed. But dubbed made me laugh a lot. It is up to preference, but I think dub is really good and funnier I agree! I watched the first five episodes of season 3 as they aired, and was wondering why the show wasn’t as funny as before. As soon as the dub came out, though, it was just a fantastic as the previous seasons! |
