| I prefer watching anime with the subs, however for a very select few i like the dubs (ie. any games adapted into animes that I've already played in english). |
 |
| Well, depend on the situation. When the dubbings are good, I prefer this option. However, in my country, there aren't many dubbings of animes and when there are…well they aren’t good. So, on this case, I choose animes with subtitles. |
 |
| I definitely enjoy subs more than dubs. Community subs at that as I like to see the difference between two groups' subs and how they went about translating. I can enjoy dubs if its done well enough meaning the voice doesn't pull me away from the anime by making me question the cohesion between voice and animated character. |
| I prefer watching the animes with the Subs. In my language they nearly stopped dubbing Anime in 2008-2009 (with a very few Exceptions like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Dragon Ball Kai, the beggining of Naruto Shippuuden, and more recently Nanatsu no Taizai), In some dubs they change way too much the Dialogue, In Digimon Adventure 2 (in my language) they changed the terms and the dialogues to a point where was hard to understand what was going on. More recently i finished Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and i watched some episodes with Dub and other with Sub and in my language some Voice Actors seemed to be reading rather than dubbing and they exaggerated with the tone of some characters. And in my case is better to prefer Sub over Dub, because we don't have even half of the dubbed anime that are avaliable for English.  |
 |
| Subs. Dubs just aren't as good in my opinion. There a few exceptions where the dub is better but most of the time it is not. |
 |
| I haven't watched a dub in a while... |
| In general I go for dubs. Which is a bit odd because when I watch foreign films I prefer subs. I think I prefer dubs because it's how I started watching anime. Back in the days when I would get fan subs I thought it was cool and edgy, but at the time I didn't even consider how accurate the translations could be. Secondly, and this is another odd reason, but sometimes Japanese voice acting grinds on me. Everyone sounds more...high pitched? |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| I'm used to subs because in Finland almost all television series or movies have subs. I also like to pause anime if there's unknown word and I don't figure it out from context. Finnish dubs are mostly for kids so they aren't really good :p |
  |
| Usually I'll go with sub, but if I hear that the anime in question has a good dub then I'll watch that. I enjoyed Toradora, Death Note, and Assassination Classroom dubbed tbh. |
| I always thought I preferred subs simply because I'm used to watching anime with subs, but later I realized that I actually cringe everytime I try to watch a dubbed anime. The characters just seem to lack the emotion that's originally intended and it just seems half-assed overall, in my opinion. |
| Subs all the way, man! There's no better voice actors than the original voice actors. :) |
| I like subs over dubs, but dubs are cool too, especially if you've already watched one of your favorite anime with original audio and later you plan on rewatching it dubbed. However, I actually enjoyed Tomoko's English voice in the dubs version more than the original one. It made her sound more like a loser with English VA for me, which is perfect for that anime theme (anime: Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!). Well, I don't have much experience here because I haven't watched a lot of dubbed anime in the past, can only recall Death Note and a few others and some anime with Spanish or Portuguese dubs when I was a kid. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| subs, because it feels a bit weird when listening to english dubs... also, it's a bonus when you actually recognize a VA *cough cough* esp. when the VA is Hana Kana <3 *cough* (Instant fave char as long as she's the VA, lol) |

| I guess it depends on the show for me... A lot of the time I enjoy dubs and times I enjoy subs... But if I had to choose I think I would go with dub just because you can relax and enjoy the animation instead of having to be attentive to the subs... |
| When I started watching anime I only watched dubbed because that's all I had access to. The dubbed Speed Racer episodes are the worst. They made me laugh because they were so terrible. Now I watch mainly subbed. I enjoy the Japanese voice actors. A lot of the English dubbed ones are bad. I do still watch some dubbed ones...especially when I'm cooking or cleaning up. lol |

| subs yo subs |
| These sig updates harder den a bih to keep up wit |
| Honestly I prefer subs, usually dubs are low quality and even when they are not, I prefer to watch it how it was origianlly aired, The only time I watch dubs is when I wanna fall asleep watching something and have to close my eyes :) |

| i prefer sub but back when i watched funimation on the cartoon network some before getting a laptop and kiss XD , i saw blue exorcist, black lagoon, inuyasha, yu-gi-oh, yu yu hakusho, and pokemon in dub and thought it was okay. Ofc i thought black lagoon was best dubbed compared imo |
 |
| i personally like subbed and dubbed equally,course some select series i prefer dub and some i prefer sub,its generally a case by case basis as not all is equal,i will say more often then not if i had to choose one i'd pick subs since usually more consistent in quality even if dubs sometimes have stellar performances that outshine the original imo. |
 |
| I may add to my old statement that dubs are also useful for multi-tasking. I'm watching the dubbed version of an anime on my tv right now while commenting here and looking for new members for the club at the same time, maintaining focus on both which saves me a lot of time! |

| It depends on if the dub voice actors suit the characters I usually pick subbed because its usually better than the dub. |
| Prefer subs most of the time because I think the japanese voice actors suit the characters in anime better, the politeness, the anger, you name it. That said, shows like Pokemon would sound natural in english to me because I grew up with that, it was hard to adjust to names like Satoshi, and all the other Japanese pokemon names...lol |
| I do prefer subs, but if the anime has a dub I would watch the dub version. |
 |
| I almost always watched subbed anime. It's only because a lot of context gets left out when it's dubbed and it can be confusing. Though there have been a few good dubs out there, |
 |
| Subs, sometimes the jokes and slangs are meant to be in japanese |
| OH, Sub for real mate. |
danieldakoli said: I can watch both, if its a serious anime i'll most likely watch it subbed but if the anime has a lot of comedy then definitely dub. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Although I don't watch dubs anymore, dubs are easy to listen to when you're not paying attention, etcetera. |
| I tend to watch subs, but I have watched a few dubs that I enjoyed. |
| I prefer subs, but I also enjoy good english dubs. I do find myself watching bad dubs at times when I'm multitasking and don't have time to read the subtitles. |
| i normally like to watch in the language the series was originally created in, so subbed. although sometimes the setting makes it appropiate for a dub. also, when watching together with a younger audience (eg my niece and nephew), its preferable to watch dubbed or with localised subs because of their age. (its kinda confusing for them to read and hear in languages they dont understand very well while also trying to enjoy the animation) |
 |
| Sub cause Dub they do not even try to make it good. At most with Sub why watching it if they mess up on the English can laugh about it. Dub it's just painful. |

DaiSuki8957 said: A good dub is extremely hard to come by. Subs 99.9% of the time for me! Pfffttt... (good point) I watched Toradora dub the first time around! |
| IMO subs are easier to find on the internet than dubs Especially when you're catching a series while it's running, which I have done once (Food Wars 2) (Side note: I'm not an expert so don't quote me on this, this is just reasonable thinking) Wouldn't speedy dubbers (in this case a group of VAs dubbing speedily) have an advantage over the market because there will be people looking for dubs very soon after it was released? If yes, the thing would be rushed, and may not have the quality of dubbing as the subs (dubbed in Japanese) If no, I'll think about it... (but the point for running shows stands) |
