Do it the other way around. It'll work the same way. |
You can find me on IRC. |
| I only watch subs and never dubs. I can't stand them, if it is not voices in japanese I just can't watch it, it feels weird. The same with movies; when an english movie is released in another country it can be either subbed or dubbed and if the latter, it sounds horrible... |
| Watching subs has just become second nature for me. 99.9% of the time, I'm watching subtitled. BUT! The only thing that didn't obey this was Death Note (the second time I watched it), Bleach (because I started with the dub and then the sub just felt wrong), and the first, like, twenty episodes of Naruto. |
 |
| now i am comparing between Sub and Raw..... |
| All of the stuff I don't own on DVD I watch subbed. If it is on DVD I will usually watch dubbed version first, and then compare against subbed version. For example, the Steam Boy dubbed is terrible and sounds super corny, so I prefer the subbed version. |

| both dub - easy to understand own language sub - can be heard as creatrs intended, japanese all the way |

| I have watched some anime subbed, but considering the quality of most subs I usually watch it dubbed. It is usually better in the original language after all... |
| Both. :/ |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| I usually watch the dub if there is one, but most of the anime I watch is sub only. I like dubs because I can pay more attention to the whole screen instead of focusing on the text at the bottom. |
| For now we are young, let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see. |
| For me rule is: Subbed is better, The exception to that rule is Dragonball(Z) |
| Subbed. I like the original voice acting better. |
 |
| Only subs - original audio is best. :3 Right? The best way of watching an anime. |

| Subs usually. I like to watch animes in the original japanese and with a bit of text at the bottom. However, when an anime is supposed to have characters that aren't Japanese, I usually watch them dubbed. The only dubs I ever watched and enjoyed are Baccano, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Alchemist, and Black Lagoon. |
| Mostly subbed. Japanese talk is amusing. Sounds more funnier too. Tho animes like Inuyasha, I actually liked in english. |
| Coming soon! |

| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| If theres a dub available then i'd watch it. |

| I prefer dubs only because I don't have to watch the whole time. I can't stand missing little parts on subs, so with dubs I can never get lost with the story and have to rewind or pause, etc. Plus, I rather hear people who speak my language, even if they can't voice act for shit. |

| I can't stand dubs. Original audio is the best. I watch subbed. I wish I could watch raw though. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |
| I LOVE SUBS!!!! only times i watch it in dubs is when im on the 360 and watch netflix. lol |
| Usually subbed ones, although I watch some dubbed ones, too... Especially those I've seen times ago at TV, gives me a nostalgic feeling x] |
 |
| The first dub i watch is in Cantonese.Actually its my only and last i gonna here from it >.< |
| Subs are a must for me, I can't stand listening to dubs for some reason! |
| Both subbed and dubbed equally I try to find dub first but if I can't I'll just watch subs |
| Sig deleted for being too large. |
| Definitely sub. |
| subs. Usually english voice actors don't convey enough emotion or convey too much emotion (VERY EXCITED GIRLS. D:< ) And English usually has terrible voice matches for characters...the voice doesn't suit them at all. D: |
| Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. -Carl Sagan |
| I usually watch dubs if they exist, unless I've heard they're bad. Sometimes I watch subs out of convenience (for example, if it's streaming sub-only on FUNimation Video or a simialr site). I also generally watch subs if the dub only exists for part of a show, since switching partway through can be jarring unless the English VAs really sound like the Japanese ones. In the end, it probably comes out at about 50-50. |
 |
| Subs, or even raw. I won't watch a dub. |
| Sub is my first choice with dub being second. I use to watch both equally until I learned a lot of my favorite shows had been cut to death and Yu-gi-oh; sorry but I think the voices are terrible. I only watch dub if I have to, I've gotten really good at watch sub so it's a little weird for me to do otherwise. Oh and Naruto . . . Believe it . . . seriously?! |

on Zalis said: breathesunshine said: Didn't they stop using that phrase in the dub like 100 episodes ago?Oh and Naruto . . . Believe it . . . seriously?! Wouldn't know, since I wasn't even able to finish the first dubbed episode. Really was just using that as a short example, otherwise I'd have carried on about miss pronounced names and terrible voice acting. |
|
| Either is fine with me, But I would rather watch it dubbed. There are a few I prefer over a dubs but not so many. Most of the dubs I've seen are usually great to decent. |
| I mostly prefer english dubs, though I will watch subs if the series doesn't have a dub yet and I really want to watch it. |

| I think this isn't even a valid question :D Dubs just destroy the anime... nothing more to add. |
| subbed or raw, if there are no subs. |
