| It depends on the genre and purpose. If its something light hearted and/or I want to play it in the background then typically I go for dubs. Otherwise, subs. Unless the subs are god awful then I go back to a dub if available. |
| I mainly prefer subs but I'll watch the dub of a show if it's very good or exceptional. Surprised at how many people are 100% sub tbh. |
| I prefer subs but I grew up watching anime in my own language so there are a few that i prefer to watch dubbed because of that, maybe it's only because of the nostalgia factor.... but overall subs is better, i think in japan the voice actors/actresses get more into character and give a better 'performance'. |
 |
| Both. One is just as good as the other, there is not need to choose. For efficiency's sake, dubs when available, since they offer faster completion times. |

| Actually, I like both equally. If an anime I want to watch has some of my favourite English VAs in it, I'll watch it in dub, and vice versa. I mean, there's really no reason to hate on dubs, not all of them are bad. or do you think it makes you less of an otaku to watch anime in english lololol |
 |
| I prefer watching my anime in sub, but for some reason, I like to watch anime movies in dub (probably because the anime movies I like to watch, I find them in dub, but not sub) But overall, I would say I prefer to watch my anime in sub. |
 |
| Dubs, I immensely enjoy when I can hear the tonality change in a persons voice like an example would be Trigun. Of course, the subs are the same way, but a person screaming in Japanese mumbo jumbo with the meaning on the bottom doesn't feel the same (I didn't mean mumbo jumbo in a bad way, its just a way of expression) |

| Japanese in one ear. English in the other. |
 |
| I really enjoy the English Dubs lately. It makes me focus on whatever is on screen compared to when our eyes switch back and forth at the bottom of the screen (to read the sub) and at the center. At one point in time, I am also a Sub-only guy, berating people who like dubs. But as I grew older, my attitude towards dubs have toned down. At this point, I watch Dubs more than Subs every season starting this year. Bottomline, if there's a dub, I will prefer watching it. If there's none, then I will watch the Eng subs. |
| Japanese original is always the best Dubs are OK for me...more comfortable to watch the anime and you can be more focused on the animation and the details But German Dubs are usually aweful Have you ever seen DBZ or One piece in German? You'll get a headache ^_^° |
 |
| I started with dubs but I tried subs too and now I just can't go back to dubs idk it feels unnatural :D |
| I only watch dub. The japanese in subs is too cringe. |
| Neither. I shut off all sound, minimize the window and watch generic porn while the episode plays out. The best way to watch anime. I guarantee that everything you finish will be so enjoyable you'll just keep giving 10/10 everywhere. |
 |
| It really depends with me. I started out watching dub, but lately I watch a lot more sub than dub (mainly because that's what my boyfriend watches). 9 times out of 10, I believe that subbed is better than dubbed, but there's still that 1% of anime that's just as good dubbed as it is subbed. |

| Sub... but if I watch an anime with dub and it turns to sub in the middle of the show I kinda prefer the dub then |
 |
| 80/20. Quality dubs are rare but not the worst thing on the planet like some of these weebs insist. |
 |
| Dub. Subtitles are ugly & annoying. |
 |
| I prefer JoJo Engerish anyday beeeeeeeeeeeetch |
| Subs. I prefer to watch anime/movies in their original language |
| Dub for me but i will always give the sub a try. ive enjoyed bna both sub and dub |
| Always prefer a GOOD English dub. But I can watch with subs with no problem. It can just suck at times that you can't take your eyes off the screen or you may miss what was said. Or if the characters are speaking very rapidly and the subs blink across the screen quickly to keep up then I'm having to rewind to read what I didn't see. It can be annoying as hell. |

| Subs because I find Japanese voice actors to have a better flow with anime than Americans. Americans often need to speed up a little past their natural speed because the Japanese naturally speed pretty fast and of course anime is more suited for Japanese voice acting. I'll never pick dubs in any medium though because in live action the mouth movements not locking in with the sound often bothers me. |
 |
| Subs by a landslide. If only dubbed voice actors didn't act like they were in a cartoon and sounded more mature. |

| i'm so used to watching shows that aren't in english that i actually get annoyed when i watch something that is. so subs |
| both, depend on the type of anime, action related anime subbed, thriller or talk anime dubbed. |
| Just a random guy. |
| Subs. If I only stuck to watching dubs then there would be a lot less stuff to watch. |
| I prefere subs because I really enjoy the sound of the japanese language. Nevertheless I really loved the dubbed version of CLANNAD and all the studio ghibli films. However I think the only anime I watch with dubs these days are the ghibli films. subs>dubs at least for me |

| subs there is no actual reason to watch dubs except if the anime is not that good and the dub manages to make it funny/watchable or you used to watch it as a kid and you've grown accustomed to the dubbed version |
| I should have known it. The rest of the world doesn't exist. |
KawaiiPotato1412 said: Dubs all the way. For me it is much easier to watch dubs so you can see what is basically happening. When people watch subs, they're multi-tasking (reading and watching). It's just painful for me to do it all the time. However, there is one dub that I didn't like at all. No Game No Life's dub made me feel like I wanted to watch it subbed. But I didn't switch because I wanted to know how bad it was. I prefer watching dubs. Well, unless it's never dubbed like Konosuba (which surprisingly enough made it to my favorites), ReZero, Bakemonogatari and Nichijou. jeez you should watch more subbed anime that myth of its so hard to read and watch is only said by n00bs |
| Subs, Sometimes the dubs will change the translation and i think it takes away from what was actually written. |
