what is your preference and why for the my hero academia concerning dub or sub.

for those who would like a quick refresher for both of the cast here is a playlist for the sub vs dub voice actors in my hero academia

Edit:
I think that they are both equal personally and the dub counter part sounds the same as the Japanese which is especially important if you want to get praise from the sub community. As for translation checking panel by panel they got most of it spot on a few changes were made to fit the mouthing in English but they are equal imho.

I watched the whole series in Dubbed, but I've seen some parts in sub, I agree that they're both equal. I'll still watch the 2nd season in Dub for a 1 reason; and that's All Might.

sub > dub

I have watched both sub and dub and i think sub is far more superior to dub in this case .
In dub , they missed out some great details just to match the lip-sing , which in turn leads to less emotions and thrill which are core of this anime .

Your ears starts to bleed if you watch dub and have already watched sub . . It will be ok if you watch dub only but its enjoyment is complete only in sub .

sad story of how i ended up watching dub :
I was making a friend of mine start watching anime . He demanded for short anime with lot of inspiration . Since it was his first time , i sat with him and watched BnHA in dub with him , it was painful .

I rewatched the anime lots and lots of times in both sub and Dub so I can answer you perfectly. Now i don't speak Japanese so i don't know if it works languagewise but I really like the sub. Dub is a real turn of for me! I don't want to be hatedful, I knew people worked har for it but it ruins the anime honestly speaking.

Why:{ I get so excited every time I watch my hero academy like it's the first time, that happens when I watch with sub. Why well the dub really ruins it for it. It's not equal.

I don't like how the translation is not the same, they word they use in dub are not as god or related to the word in sub! I'm not satisfied with the with it. Also I love seen the anime thorough the write imagination and his words and describetion and I feel like does not reflect that. That alone make me sad to know.

My favourite parts are with character like al might use English like when he said "nonsense" or "hey hey hey" or mic when he goes "everybody say hey" it crack me up, sooo funny yet it's not even reflect 1% in dub. Not to mention the voice are not fitting or as enthusiastic. it sound bad and cheesy. Just a bad experience. } I'm really sorry.

Honesty all this and more! For the best experience watch in sub. I can't get into it in dub! When I watch it in sub (not to exaggerate) I get more passionate and emotional and extremely happy. I really feel it.

For me, the original voice acting will always be superior to the dub version...

In my opinion, most subs are better than dubs. Except for the ones that a redubbed to match the animation. Like Dragon Ball.
Haven't seen the sub though so I can't judge.

I'm now rewatching in dub and it's better.

edit: I watched a bit of Jap version again. All might is a lot better on dub and dialogue is a bit better. But most voice actors are better in Jap.

I know there's tons of sub elitists, and sometimes that's totally merited. There are definitely dubs that are out there that are pretty terrible, but My Hero Academia has one of the best dubs out there in my opinion. I think they're both really enjoyable, and wouldn't personally relate to either "the sub is way better than the dub" or "the dub is way better than the sub" opinions.

I prefer the dub over the sub, but most likely only because I watched the dub before I watched the sub. So I'm more keen on that cast because it's associated with my first viewing, but the Japanese cast is also excellent. I think overall though, if an anime can offer me a quality dub, I tend to go for that because it's a more comfortable watch. I did the same for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Cowboy Bebop, for example.

Funimation will be doing same-day release for season 3 episodes, or so I hear. I hope that will be the case!

both are surprisingly good, the dub does always as good as the sub except for a few incidences, some voice actors just sound better subbed however if ur a english watcher i think it safe to watch either ur not really missing much i see season 2 in dub to check it out.

dub is release on the same day as sub so u won't wait for long funimation really did a great job with it.

i wouldn't say the dub is as good as something like tiger x bunny or dragon ball kai however done a great job.

Compared to other shows, I actually think the sub and dub are pretty on par.
I mean, I personally prefer the subs. But, if you take the BNHA dub and compare it to another, it's actually pretty good!
-*-Catharsis-*-I should probably be doing more responsible things right now.

Tbh from what I've seen of the dub, it feels a lot more childish idk if its a language barrier thing but I found the dub somewhat cringey and often hard to watch. Mainly I just dislike the voice actor for Deku in the dub as he sounds more like a children's entertainer than an actual character. It's not a bad dub parse but it definitely has a different, more cartoon network-esque kids show type vibe.

I watched the sub first so I am biased but I definitely prefer the sub. I still like the dub, and it's really nice to hear the characters in English, but my main issue is the emotion. I watched some comparison videos, like the deku vs muscular fight, and I really felt the fear and determination from the sub while the dub kind of fell flat. And it's kind of irritating how slow the characters in the dub have to talk sometimes, it feels unnatural. I would say that for the majority of episodes they are equal but on more intense, emotional episodes I gotta hand it to the sub.
