| I saw this poll a day a go. This website has a lot of sub purist. |
 |
| hmm good question. Probably the dubbed, but only if it's /really/ good. I actually really liked the escaflowne dub. But in reality, most of the time I like the JP voicing better. but to be honest whatever format is more convenient is what I go for. |

| I know this isn't a question for everyone, but I know some people just can't stand them. I don't really understand this? Some of those Japanese voice-actors are actually pretty bad, falling into cliches and what-not. So I ask, what is your take on dubs and subs? Edit: P.S. I mostly watch subs anyways. And what I mean about cliches, everyone has heard the nasally- voiced best friend, the high-pitched moe girl, and the shy girl before. |

| Thank god. Someone finally asked this. |

| i like subs not dubs because i prefer words rather than speaking its not that i hate dubs, only if i watch subs first then dubs are just to different to change back. dubs are good to me. subs are amazing to me. |
| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
| Dubs = Same and overused voice actors Subs = A little more variety on the voice actors Dubs = Takes longer for releases to come out Sub = Less wait and faster to watch Some dubs lose translation when it's being transcribed, but if you're a casual anime watcher, subs might not be for you since you may not understand the Japanese culture/style. Casual anime watchers tend to stick to dub I guess. I personally don't mind dubs, it's just that i prefer subs over dubs. |
| Cuz Japanese people put much more work in there voice acting. I don't necessarily dislike dubs. I used to prefer dubs actually. But as you what more subs you notice it is better 99 of the 100 times. I still watch Bebop and Baccano! dub though, but only because those are exceptionally good. |

| Because dubs suck, that's the only reason. |
 |
| It's because I don't know Japanese is the reason I watch dubs for now. I'm going to start learning some Japanese in the future but not from a class room as class rooms do not teach you correctly. I will be putting the time into learning from a website that does a pretty good job of having regular talking and then formal talking so that I don't sound like a total weirdo when talking in public when visiting Japan in the future. |

Both of these pretty much. The only rare occasion that I would watch dubs over subs is if, whilst I'm multi-tasking, and I feel like watching anime simultaenously, considering I'm good at listening, I can listen carefully whilst working, though that's only on an anime that I don't mind watching in dubs, and if the plot isn't focused around watching it visually, even more so; though even if it was, it's not like I can't see it. |

| I prefer the voices of the japenese VAs, it feels more real. Then again it might just be because for most of us, we can't understand most Japenese and we think it sounds well acted. When it comes to English when we hear it all the time, for me, the dubs are pretty awful compared to originals. It just sounds out of place... I'm not sure. I just dislike it a lot, I prefer watching things that were made in the original language. |
| Probably because most sub elitis are really insecure about themselves. Many somehow think that they're better fans or more closer to the Japanese culture because they watch subs. I wouldn't be surprised if some actually force themselves to wath subs in order to maintain their image. As a film enthusiast, I've seen a lot of films and various forms of media from many different countries and many different languages. Without knowing the languages I can tell what good or bad acting is. And Japanese voice actors aren't as good as people really believe they are. There's a difference between expressing genuine emotions and over acting them. And "seiyuus" are constantly over acting and forcing emotions. Screaming, grunting, and making whiny noises does not automatically make for genuine emotional acting. |
Dubs>subs. Breaking Bad>Anime Comic books>manga 99% of Anime is Garbage |
| I watch a lot of anime as they air, so the only available option would be subs. But either way, it's just a personal preference I have towards subs, even if there's a dub available. I don't think there isn't anything inherently wrong with dubs in general or the actual concept of dubbing, but I just personally like seeing the direct translation of the original script. Plus, since I've gotten so accustomed to watching with subs, it feels kind of weird and unsettling when I watch something dubbed. |
| Because they sound like a bunch of high school students dubbed it with windows sound recorder |
| Also, I think this is relevant to the discussion. https://scontent-a-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1476537_10201182225865498_310893662_n.jpg |

| Hating dubs is stupid but preferring one over the other is perfectly fine. To me it really depends on the quality if the dub and the availability. If it isn't available or I watch a couple of episodes and I find it to be quite bad I usually switch. Overall sub=dubs |

| It's fine to have a preference, but this uncontrolled hate towards english dubs is utterly unexplainable. I also prefer to watch anime in the original audio, but disregarding every single dub ever released is too harshly extreme. C'mon, you may not like it, but you can't classify dubs such as Cowboy Bebop, Monster, Gurren Lagann, Tenchi Muyo, FMA as 'bad' dubs |
Ulquiorra1923 said: That's your opinion , I respect it. But I didn't like it, the original is always better. Fair enough, you're entitled to your own opinion. |
| Lol at using Dragon Ball to judge and criticize all English dubbing, people just think its cool to hate on all dubbing |
