| I catalogue my dub/sub preference with each show I like. And normally I don't have any trouble with it. But after quickly surveying the dub in a few key scenes, I am thoroughly conflicted. Even a recommendation of "either" feels wrong to me. On the one hand, Rei's voice acting is better in the dub. The degree to which it's better I am unsure. However, I can confidently say it is. I think the quality of his voice acting is particularly important to this show On the other hand, Momo is SO much more adorable in the sub. The difference in adorableness is far greater in this case and perhaps alone it can warrant watching the sub. The issue here is that with either version you'd be making a grave sacrifice. If you watch the dub, Momo would be significantly less cute. If you watch the sub, Rei's scene in episode 10 is far less powerful. It's a lose-lose scenario. I'm not sure whether I'm asking for advice here, or offering it. I'm probably going to give it the recommendation to watch both (The only other show that earns such attention being Steins;gate, which I've watched 5 times, all 5 times dubbed). So yeah, I guess you should take that as my recommendation, perhaps I'd say dub first and then sub (Because if you know of Momo's cuteness potential while watching the dub it might be a bit tough) EDIT: In hindsight, I decided to compromise and decide on the dub over sub. I also did some checking and the cuteness difference quotient isn't as high as I thought it was. So yeah. Also, now that I think about it the poll is useless. PRESENTLY STANDING RECOMMENDATION: DUB |

| @Silent-Ninja When I first saw the trailer, I thought to myself "I'm not gonna like this dub" and started trying to spin humour out of my complaints. It didn't take long for me to change my stance. I actually got chills watching the scene from episode 10 dubbed. The problem is that both versions are absolutely incredible in some areas and great in others, but their greatest strengths don't overlap. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING. I decided to recommend the dub, not because it's better, but because it's too close to call and when that happens I'll usually recommend the dub anyway because it's in english. I've personally never made it all the way through re-watching the first season of this. I think I'd be able to with this english dub. |

I wish I was joking but I'm not lol. You could either watch it there or patiently wait for it to show up on KissAnime. I'm already watching the second half of the first season dubbed, so I'm curious to read your thoughts on on it when you get the chance to watch. What I've heard is that the dub is not gonna be available for legal streaming ever and the blu-ray's are really expensive. No idea what the credibility of what I've heard is but long story short, fuck legal streaming anyway, it doesn't help the industry much. I've seen episodes 1 and 10 dubbed, and I got to say, the dub is a lot better. Momo doesn't sound as good, but Hina and Rei sound better. Nikaidou sounds a touch goofy but not necessarily insufferable. I honestly prefer the dub. Maybe I won't like it as much after watching it through, but there's no way the show would be bad dubbed (even if it ends up being poorly dubbed). |

But still, this process is surely better than just watching the trailer and expressing ones hatred towards the dub (Like almost every sub elitist on the internet).

Sorry, what I meant by "wishing I was joking" was that I didn't expect Crunchyroll to post the entire first season's dub on their site, that's all. From what I've learned, it was Aniplex's decision to have the dub be available on Crunchyroll probably due to their close business relationship or something. In any case, I'm glad the dub is available for legal streaming and I wouldn't be surprised if multiple people are rewatching the first season as we speak. While I do agree with your assessment of Momo, Hina, Nikaidou, and Rei's English voices, I'm still surprised you've only watched episodes 1 and 10 dubbed to make your overall judgement on the dub. There are other characters who also deserve to be assessed too like Shimada for example, so I'm curious what your thoughts will be after you finished watching the entire dub of the first season. And like I said, I'm fairly certain I won't end up hating the dub at this point. At most I'll just end up preferring the sub. |
