| Dubs are really important to the growth of anime in the west and the rest of the world. Without dubs(Pokemon, DBZ, Naruto) half of us wouldn’t even be here posting on this forum. I personally prefer subs over dubs, because there isn’t really a reason for me to watch a dubbed version of something when the original is just as easy to watch. Dubs I enjoyed tho are, Death Note, FMAB and MHA. |

| Hellsing TV version is one show where I'd say dub is what makes it worth watching. Hellsing Ultimate less so, though I prefer the dub there somewhat. |
| the dub butchered killua's precious voice. |
| Tried watching code geass dub version before but I still prefer sub :< But the evil laugh of lelouch on the dub is good. I really love subs more XD Japanese aeiyuu ftw |

| I tend to stick with whatever language I first see the anime in. But overall I've seen some animes thats only good in japanese and there's some anime thats only good in english. There's good and bad voice acting on both sides. |

| All subbed only releases are utter shit and dubs are total nirvana. Who really gives a flying fuck? Let each person decide for themselves-one condition though, keep your goddamn fucking opinion to yourself. Nobody-including me wants to shitting hear it. |

| I started watching anime in english dub only then started watching subbed because I was missing out on a lot of shows by strictly sticking to dub. I could never go back to dubs except for any of the Dragon Ball series because I grew up watching it in dub and Goku's japanese voice is horrible imo I personally believe Fairy Tail's dub is quite good, the english voices match the characters well. |
| The only dub I watched is Chobits. When I watched the OVA (sub) of Chobits I find the voice of Chi weird, I prefer the eng dub voice of Chi. But after that, I haven't watched dub version anymore. I like to hear japanese VA more, and also they are more fit to voice anime, in my opinion. |

Is there a certain dubbed anime that you liked even though you're someone who would rather watch subs instead? A typical answer would be "Cowboy Bebop", although I would love to see more shows in this thread other than just Cowboy Bebop. I have to say that I do hate dubs and only my first anime was dub which was DBZ. But that dub was so good that I couldn't watch Dragon Ball Super in sub and actually waited for the dub. Other then that I can't realy handle dub. |

| I don't mind dubs but they're not for me. Despite that I loved the Blood+ dub. I couldn't find the subbed series except for a few episodes so I decided to just roll with it. |
 |
| Both i've watching,I really don't mind it |
| I used to watch dubs when I was younger but tbh they can't compare to the original voice acting. Dubs usually sound so.. childish to me. I don't know how to explain it, but I just can't take them seriously at all. I think Pokemon, Digimon, and few older classics weren't that bad actually. |

Im a sub user, and i just refuse to watch any dub's its just so cringey when a romantic scene appears, but only anime that i do like that i have considered dubs, are "Attack On Titan" "Dragon Ball Z KAI"(This one is always dub over sub), and thats it |
| I enjoyed Kuroshitsuji's dub. I also preferred the Dragon Ball dubs because I don't like Goku's voice in Japanese xD |
| Konosuba Hinamatsuri Was pretty surprised desu when I first heard these, props to the dubbie corps |
| not a fan of dubs at all, but Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt and Evangelion had some great acting on the dub |
| the ONLY anime i prefer dub over is Hetalia, And it's because they give every country their own accents |
My Candies:  |
| Not that I'd ever go back to watching DBZ but if I ever did I'd definitely watch that one dubbed. Oh also I definitely liked Baccano's dub. |
TheKawaiiToon said: I cannot give you a name maybe Trigun but the main problem with dubs is it looses part of the charm and the language based jokes. Subs generally handle those better.

| Baccano is kind of an obvious one. Also Ghost Stories. It's odd that nobody mentioned Golden Boy here yet. Also Excel Saga. And Cromartie High School. |

PrincessMeiMei said: I prefer the German dubs to Spirited Away and The Legend of Princess Snow White - otherwise always subs. German dubs in general are nostalgic to this former RTL2 addict. Mononoke-hime's dub is one of my favourites. I prefer subs though over any dub nowadays. It's mostly easier on the ears and doesn't force as much consentration. |

| I love Japanese culture and language , and it feels out of place when my anime is English dubbed, and the English voice actor are often horrible Dubs just doesn't feel right for me so i avoid it |

It's mostly easier on the ears and doesn't force as much consentration. Yes, man! I'm not even German, but I got the channels on satellite when I was a child. Old RTL2 is nostalgic AF! Let me tell you, the German dub for The Legend of Princess Snow White is the best thing ever, all the voices were so gorgeous and perfectly fit the characters - the King, Evil Queen, Snow White, Prince Richard, the dwarves...I still have this freaking dream of one day finding that whole dub online somewhere in at least decent quality. Man, I would be so happy. This is my absolute favorite version of Snow White. It also looked so pretty! |

| this is some high quality bait, also dubs are bad because there lost in translation some of the time, its like watching a Japanese dub of The Simpsons. A lot of japanese customs and stuff unique to japan dont make sense in english. or anime about shoji is too complex to explain in the same time in english. Dubs only work with anime like cowboy bebop because there isnt much thing that are japan exclusive but modern day voice acting in dubs sounds amateur and subs just do it better (like the emotions) People dont watch subs because they have to read lol, its for the intellectuals |
| There are a few nice dubs, but given that I would usually have to wait a long time for it to be released, I pretty much only watch sub, when I even watch anime. MANGA IS THE SUPERIOR MEDIUM!!! |
| I don't often watch dubs, but the ones i have seen including Fullmetal Alchemist and the ghibli films have been really good. i mainly watch sub because that's the original and intended way to view it in my eyes, though with some shows notably Hyouka i thought maybe the dub would work better |
| Dub vs Sub? Fuck both of them. Who cares what anybody else nags about. Watch whatever you like. Period. |
 |
but let me tell you this: not all dubs are bad But I care more about authentic acting, not "better" one by some other criterion. I want to know what the original creators/artists wanted to do and how they performed. |
| I watch subs only, not because it's Japanese, but Because it is the original, and it is very weird for me watching a Japanese show dubbed in other language that is not Japanese. Same applies for any other foreign English/Russian dubbed movies and shows that I can undertand but not tolerate, for example watching Narcos in any other language other than Spanish is a big "No No" for me. I can see only one reason why I would ever watch a dubbed version, and it's only when the original VA sucks way too hard. For example Future Diary is a show that I regret watching, mainly for Yuno's childish intolerable Japanese voice, which is mostly presented in the "Yuki!" moments, which are 90% of the show. I Compared it to the dubbed version afterwards, and for my opinion it is way better and more mature. I'd rather watch it instead of the subbed one (or even better, not watching this show at all). |

| no, dub ruin every anime. there was few old tv series which i wanted to watch but couldnt find subs only dubbed versions thought maybe i will survive it somehow but ended up dropping because no sub.. so cringy |
| Baccano is a really good dub. I liked Trigun as well. |
| Female voice acting in dubs is cringe-inducing Americans trying to pronounce Japanese terms with their accent also is No, thanks, the small letters in the lower part of the screen are far better. |
あなたは誰？ |
| Everybody including me and no matter what his mother language is, is going to say that the dub of the old shows was good because of nostalgia and nothing more. It's just because you watched those shows as kids in dub that you feel like that toward them. Subs are always better. Nonetheless, I can admit that some of the OPs and Eds of some dubbed versions were really better than the original ones. |
| I guess I watched some dubs way back when I first started seeking anime on YouTube XP But they were for some, niche shows like Ouran Highschool Host Club and Please Twins! The former of which I greatly enjoyed and still love its dubbed opening till now (over the subbed). |
  |
| I mostly learn towards sub, but I know there great dub out there like cowboy bebop. |
| I really wanted to watch Barakamon subbed. However, I could only find it dubbed, but I'll admit I still really enjoyed it! I watch subs whenever I can, but this was a well done dub |

weiss said: Yeah this stood out for me too.Hajime_Hinata said: I hope you're being sarcastic, Death Note can't be an example of "high quality voice acting" let alone claiming it's superior to the original version. Right back at you, if you haven't seen Death Note in Japanese do it right nowI prefer subs over dubs, but I can admit that both dubbed versions of Death note and Code geass are far superior than the subbed versions... Seriously, if you haven’t watched the dubbed versions of both of those shows, then you’re really missing out on some high quality voice acting. Death Note was kind of weird in English to me I guess. I usually think the Japanese voice acting is better though I'm mindful of the possibility that I only think so because I do not speak Japanese and would consider it just as bad if I did but the 1995 Ghost in the Shell film stands out for me as having very good English voice acting superior to the Japanese version. |

| I'm a subs watcher but I'm nostalgic of Dragon Ball and Yu-Gi-Oh!'s french dubs though there's censorship and Dragon Ball's dubs are a bit messed up (names of characters and skills sometimes change from an episode to another) |
