Do you prefer dub or sub episode?
smolgeneral said: I watch sub unless I'm watching anime with a friend of mine. She can't keep up with the subtitles and I mean they can be pretty fast sometimes. I'm used to them after years of watch sub, but I want her to have fun so I watch it dubbed with her. I also don't mind it much. I just prefer subbed that's it. We shouldn't hate on other people, just cause they watch dub, it's pretty stupid lol This! Not everyone always enjoy watching the anime subbed, and some people even prefer the dub over the sub for some shows. I don't insult other people just because they don't like subs or dubs on specific shows that I like. |

| A little of both. I happen to watch subbed more often because of Crunchyroll, and my preference depends on the show, as I think some of them actually have better dubs than their original subbed version: I'm more likely to watch 90's anime dubbed, though, mostly for nostalgia. As long as none of the voices are too grating or don't fit the characters at all, I can live with dubbed anime. |

| When I first got into anime, I always watched dub but, after reach Bleach spanish dub and don't have any other option than whatch it in japanese I start too only |
| 'Dubbed and watch subbed episode if dub are not available.' Honest to god I have no idea how y'all can be so toxic about a personal preference. I'm not criticizing anyone who says they like subbed better than dubbed or vice-versa. Like, I can understand the argument that the voice actors are not as good or that dub sounds strange if you're used to listening to the voices in Japanese, or that you might have a difficulty reading or just not want to do it when you watch something. I'm not saying that you can't have valid reasons for liking or disliking one or the other. But straight up saying that a preference is trash or cringe is just...so unnecessarily antagonistic. At the end of the day people have their own preferences and trying to invalidate or shame someone for that is just incomprehensible to me. Dazel1412 said: This^^^I've always loved both! Each version is great, every voice actor, no matter the language, always brings their A-game. I usually listen to a little bit of the sub and dub and then just watch whichever one I like better. I really like that you take the time to listen to both before you watch something, and I think that's a really good approach. When I'm starting a new series, I have a preference to watch it in dub, but I have no problem watching it in sub if there isn't a dub. Almost all the seasonal anime I watch is usually in sub, because there sometimes isn't a dub for a show and if there is it can sometimes be a few weeks behind. The only strict rule I follow when it comes to language preferences is that I don't switch languages in between a show cuz the difference in voice really throws me off. So often when a new season starts there are a few shows that I have to wait for the dub for because that's how I watched the series originally. |

I do have a reason to watch dub, but even if I didn't it would still be my preference. This whole thing is funny to me. No one gets to dictate how I enjoy my choice of entertainment, that's just childish and silly. |
| Ah yes, the great debate starts again |
 IT'S NEVER OGRE |
| Ah, misclicked. Meant to say that I only watch sub when dub isn't available. It's not a preference, really. It's genuinely difficult for me to focus on any sort of reading when someone is speaking thanks to ~Audio Processing Issues~. Watching subbed series takes a long time and I usually end up having to rewatch scenes if I'm not in the right headspace going in, it's awful. I can usually deal with it if I'm fully prepared and awake, but even some series like Kaguya-sama or Mo Dao Zu Shi are impossible for me because of the speed or if multiple characters speak at once. |

| I prefer subbed from the point that it preserves the original audio. |

| On my side I just can't focus if I hear anything else than original voices. Dubbed version give me so many wrong vibes and it make me awkward-smile and so many eyes-roll. Ugh ! |

| I always use sub and avoid dub if possible, it just ain't my cup of tea |
| Imagine watching dubbed. Subbed is obviously best. The English language does not fit anime, usually sounds really cringe. |
| I prefer sub, beacuse imo is sub is better than dub, tbh |
 |
| Depends...anime like EVA are dialogue heavy and with alot of symbolic imagery, so I dont like to read while watching, you can lose alot of important info. If Im watching something like 7Deadly Sins I simply watch subbed |
 |
| I kinda prefer dubs, but I don't have any reservations about watching something subbed. If the dub isn't good enough, then I'll watch the anime subbed instead. |
| I don’t mind it subbed but I def prefer dubbed. |
🌙  I wish you an ounce of luck |
| I prefer sub and its always a priority! |

 |
| sub always. Whos the girl in that gif? what anime is that from? |

He is Atsushi Nakajima, the main chatacter of Bungou Stray Dogs. |
| crap i thought he was a girl disappointed |
|
| When you get to use the "I live in Japan option" B) |
| ive tried watching dubbed but it didn't feel natural. so I only watch sub. |
| I watch dubbed anime nowadays simply because of the convenience. Plus, when I'm tired and want to watch an anime at night I find it easier to listen to the dialogue instead of having to read it. |
