Do you think that the excuse "I can't read the subs while watching" is legitimate ?

I think its a copout method for Dub fans to discredit original Japanese version of the show.

And its just infuriating for me to see that this is such a common excuse.

"I prefer dubs because i don't want to read all the time when i watch the show" that's like saying even if the dubbing is terrible i don't want to read.

For people who claim that i always wonder if they have ever tried to watch a normal subbed movie.
More fool them, they miss out or have to wait years for the useless dub companies to release their inferior crap.

And they miss out on great shows like Chihayafuru that don't have dubs.

Indeed, many great anime that is not aimed at kids or man children is never dubbed.
Why would you want to deny so much great anime just because you cant read?

For a lot of people yea probably it's just a cop out. Although I do know someone who wont watch subs because he legitimately doesn't want to read. I know this because he hates reading in general, he won't read novels or even manga.

That simply means you are one of those hypocrites or morons who watch anime illegaly and yet complain about dub companies making dub while completly ignoring the fact profit the original producers get from them.That money is also a important part of anime industry for making more anime but then again its useless to say anything to you because can't comprehend this anyway.

Stop assuming things out of your head.I never complained or made thread about why you watch fansub.Its op who started with "Its illegal to say that I don't like sub because of reading."

I discredit op google translate sentence using how subs are also inaccurate.Read carefully his sentences like "Legal or illegal Shitty dub is shitty" clearly showing his mentality of subs always better than dubs.
And I know this thread is about how not watching sub for a reason "I don't like to read is illegal?"REALLY?Someone is illegal for his/her reason.So my earlier statement about illegal fansub was more of a mockery.

I personally see it as an excuse. even if an individual can't read the subs initially it doesn't really take too long to pick them up, after watching 2-3 series in sub they will inevitably be able to read the subs even in a basic sense. If they do have some sort of problem with reading then the reason is obviously valid, but i highly doubt that everyone who says this has a reading problem.

If someone just wants to watch dub i don't see a reason for making excuses, they can just come out and say "I don't really like sub". It's their own personal preference.

What you are posting is utter nonsense and its making you look really stupid.

You've now changed what you said to "legit", yet before you were claiming that op had said that not reading subs was illegal, i'll ask again: are you drunk or just stupid?

Most of the dubs out there are inferior to the subbed versions, the english VA pool is tiny and i for a fact got sick to death of the same handful of english VA's voicing every single character.

Theres also the fact that most of the good anime out there is never dubbed and the ones that are are months if not years behind japans releases.
