Do you like to watch fullmetal alchemist in either japanese audio with english subs or english audio

OR if you're from a different country then what language (french, chinese etc.)

I like the english dub, I think it's simply amazing how good the voice actors are.
I've watched the japanese audio english sub and I just didn't like it as much, but I do like a lot of animes way more in japanese than english (death note, azumanga daioh etc.)

Definitely the Japanese voices.

I'll admit that the English voices for FMA were definitely above average from what we usually get, but yeah. I enjoyed the Japanese voices a lot more than the English ones.

Agreed.
I sometimes watch anime with french subs too but that's really rare (only if I can't find ther version ^^")

Back to the topic
If we're talkin 'bout FMA - only english subs
Somehow I can't stand dub (evn though it IS so much better than other series...) probably because this anime is too good to be changed ^^

i pretty much prefer hearing the japanese with subtitles, but FMA's dubs were really good in my opinion. I have no complaints about it whatsoever.

i love japanese with english subs better than dubs in any language... i feel that something is lost when they translate it to other language... and the voices fits perfectly in japanese than in any other language... so.... i'll go for the subbed!
if you bother me when i'm watching One Piece, OMAE WO KOROSU!

I like watchin full metal alchemist or any other anime in japanese with english subs ^^ I just love the voices way more and usually dont like the voices they have chosen for the english dubs. Usually they dont even fit the characters in my opion. Though some i must admit have done a very good job. I used to watch english dubs but ever since fruit basket in english dubs i have been put off and watched only japanese with english subs ever since lol >.<''

Funimation did a pretty good job with the Dubs compared to most of their other works, *cough* you all know what i'm talking about, But Subs will almost always beat dubs.

Well mine's actually kinda weird.
My cousin got me into this anime and when i first saw it it was in japanese dub spanish sub, then english dub and sometimes japanese dub english sub.... and i like how the voice actors give it's characters it's voice.
so i actually don't mind who's voice acting the character..... the should match the character's personallity.
.....I'M NOT A PERFECT GIRL.....

I just heard the Japanese voices today on my new FMA DVD n_n I like them ALOT, Ed's voice especially.

I must give props to the English dub though, I think it's really good. Especially compared to the usual poor quality English dubs.

Nothing can compare to Rie and Romi. The Japanese cast was so well picked out and so well done as was everything else in the anime. Even if the English dub is a 'better' dub, it still is a dub that cannot compare to the original cast.

I have only watched the english dub, so I wouldn't know for sure if it's better than the sub.

Even if the sub was/is better, I would still only watch the dub.

Although, there's no real point in watching FMA at all since I have already watched it from beginning to end twice.

What he said.

Though I haven't seen the sub version yet (plan to later), but FMA is one of the few animes I don't get annoyed at when watching in English.

I like the dub best. As a western themed anime with western names and such, saying it in english sounds much better. I found the choice of voice actors excellent too, though that might be just that I watched it dubbed first and got accustomed to the dub voices.

I watched the whole FMA anime (and the movie) in English. Also, the first time I saw FMA was on Adult Swim, so the dub was the first thing I saw and I really enjoyed the voices.

But I have seen episodes (and part of the movie) in Japanese with subs, and love the Japanese voices too. ^w^

So I voted for English seeing as that's the most I've seen. XD; I also like listening to other language dubs, just to hear how my favorite characters sound like in another language. XD;

I really liked the dubbed version. Then again, I've never really heard the Japanese version. I watch most of my anime in English.

I enjoyed the English dub more. I watched the first 25~ episodes in English then watched the rest in Japanese.
(Adult-swim started re-running the first episodes when it reach around 25 at that time)

I like the english dub better probably because I've watched it more. The english voice actors did an amazing job with it and it's better than most dubs I've seen.

Japanese, of course, not only because it is the original language, but also for the respect we should give to the work of the people who created this wonderful series. and another reason why I only watch anime in Japanese is that the characters lose the feeling that they use to have in the original Japanese work

sorry if the english is not to good ^^

Dubbed. I think this is one series where it actually works better in English- the world is based more on European culture, and the English voices for Ed and Al sound more believably like young teenage boys. Especially since Al -was- played by a young boy...
