StefanHere said: Why would i watch dumbed-down translation with voices not syncing with mouths and the same 10 voice actors in every single god dam series? the japanese version has non synched mouth flaps also because they only voice act the show after the animation is done. also dubs dont dumb things down |

| tl;dr i clicked into a dub today by mistake. there is absolute validity to the fact that after years of reading subs, dubs are COMPLETELY DISORIENTING |

| English dub, because I don't like reading subtitles (distracts me from the show and I lose focus) and it's just more laid back. I do watch some anime subbed though like Attack on Titan and Bible Black (dub for Bible Black is just...Ugh). P.S. It's fun watching European themed shows in dub since it's more accurate. |

Yeah I don't know why I would watch an anime with castles, knights, and kings in Japanese. Just doesn't make sense to me yo. StefanHere said: Why would i watch dumbed-down translation with voices not syncing with mouths and the same 10 voice actors in every single god dam series? Ok dude you have to admit Japanese voice actors all sound the same too. Seriously there's like the high pitched girl, the young guy, and the super deep voice. That's how I hear almost every subbed show. |

| Fantasy shows that are European themed make way more sense to watch dubbed imo. If it's feudal Japan or something then yeah subs make sense but European fantasy with Japanese VA? Umm no thanks that's like Amazon tribe people speaking Russian or something xD lol |

| Hey guys.. maybe this is too late for a Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo marathon but since Bones seems like a nice guy, I'm interested to try those stuffs. I'm just torned between the dub and sub version. Tell me your recommendation for what's best. It seems like they put so much western culture into the story so I kinda think the dub will get me the amazing experience but let me know if you have your awesome solution to my hesitance.

| Sub, because that's always the right answer. (I can see this thread going places...) |
| Be decisive, watch whichever version you want. If you think the dub sounds better for Bones style of animation then go with that. I personally preferred Bebop in dub. |
 |
| I watched them in sub and I still enjoyed both of them. |
| Subbed. Always subbed please. |
 |
| I always watch sub (except for Beck) but I think you could make a case to go either way with these two anime. I'll refer to the taco commercial on this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OawrlVoQqSs |
 |
| They both have great dubs so if you enjoy dubs then go ahead and watch them dubbed |

| I think you'd look lovely with your wrists slit. |
| Apparently Cowboy Bebop has one of the best dub in any anime, so if you don't have any preference go for that... |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

|
| It depends on the person which he/she is comfortable with and it also depends in the dub. Some dub out there are just to painful to listen. |

They are both good. Champloo isn't as well-exposed as Bebop, but the grand majority of people who watched Bebop watched it dubbed. Word of God Shinichiro Watanabe has even expressed before that he thinks the dub is better. Do with that information what you will. |

| Sub. Anytime, anywhere. Many of the voice actors for anime are also drama actors which explains the well done acting. The thing about dubs is that there are VERY FEW that are well done. Some of them being Space Dandy or Haruhi Suzumiya. Dubs of popular shows like death note(shut up fanboys), fairy tale, and one piece are what make me lose hope for the Western dubbing industry. If the west were to follow in japan's footsteps and hire actual actors to dub anime, I'd be all over them but because of rights issues and whatnot concerning hollywood and all that other bs, I don't think we'll be seeing this happening anytime soon.

He's asking for his opinion to be influenced by the people in this thread. If you already liked the sub more than the dub, good for you. |

| Bebop is a must watch in English dub. I personally think watching Bebop subbed is a waste of time. Champloo is really good in both sub and dub it's up to you what you prefer. For me I liked it better subbed even though I really liked the fact that the guy who does Saito's voice from Rurouni Kenshin does Jin's voice in the dubbed version. |

Lots of opportunities to master the language. To be honest, I think a native speaker is more likely to confuse its/it's than a non-native speaker. A non-native speaker would be more likely to use "it is" without the contraction, and when non-native speakers learn to use contractions they're generally more careful about it than native speakers who grew up taking grammar for granted. But this is wildly off-topic, so just keep arguing yourselves into circles and don't mind me. |

Watching a show dubbed or subbed is completetly different and you shouldn't compare a dub to the sub. For example if a dub has good voice acting (like bebop or champloo) then it will still have good voice acting regardless of how the sub sounds. It is not about which is better it is about if you only watched the show dubbed who you be left satisfied yes or no. And with bebop and champloo the answer is yes. |
