| No, I don't think there are any where I prefer dubbed. Even ones where I originally watched the dubbed version (Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball Z, Ranma 1/2), I end up liking sub better after I give that a shot. As others have said, you can typically feel the original intent more through the Japanese voice actors, and it typically feels like they put way more energy into their performance. |

| Most of the battle shounens. Coz voice of the MC in DUB suits more to me than the SUB version. |

silent_knight98 said: Most of the battle shounens. Coz voice of the MC in DUB suits more to me than the SUB version. Even though I disagree, I definitely understand this opinion. The thing about shounens is that the protagonist is often a young boy or a teen, and they are given a female voice actress most of the time. It's something that takes getting used to and some people just can't, and that's understandable. |

NickRedMachine said: Yeah. Its not like i'm saying that DUB version of battle shounens is better than the SUB but characters' voices doesnt suit them most of the time if u ask me. I was never able to get used to Goku's SUB voice. MC's voice is either too childish (DBZ) or too mature (Attack On Titan and BNHA) for me to handle LOL. Only exception i can think of is Bleach where i actually enjoyed the Sub more. silent_knight98 said: Most of the battle shounens. Coz voice of the MC in DUB suits more to me than the SUB version.

| DragonBall, can't stand Gokus japanes voice-actor. It makes my ears bleed. Golden Boy and Great Teacher Onizuka got good dub too. But it's not really that I prefer one over the another. It's just that the voice-actors did a great job. Nodame first season is best done with the dub verison. As you can hear the characters that have a accent alot better. |
 |
| Code Geass, Spice and Wolf, and Cowboy bebop are the only ones that I think where better, however the're are others that i consider equal, which I can watch ether way like the Raildex series and fate series( but not Kalied Liner, I can only watched that subbed, the voice for Illya isn't bad per say, just way to different then her other English voice.) |
| Dragon Ball. I don't like Goku's original voice |
| Not a single! Professionals prefers original language of a show. |
"The most amazing and interesting story in this world ever existed is the story of the world itself where all stories happened" -Hassaan Lightstone- |
| I prefer the Spanish and Galician dubs of Crayon Shin Chan. The japanese one hurts my ears lol |
 |
| Ghost Stories and while I havent watched it in its entirety, based off the highlights id assume the DR3 dub is better than sub. Id love to see a dub of Banana Fish tho! since its set in America- |
  |
| Aggretsuko was pretty awesome dubbed. It really added to the show especially the heavy metal parts. |
 |
| I generally prefer sub over dub in general, because when my eyes aren't pulled to (sometimes lengthy) subtitles I can appreciate the art better, and if I'm not watching it for the first time I'm able to multi-task and still know what's going on by listening and taking glances. I'll still try subs though for sure, particularly if I watched the dubbed version and enjoyed it enough or if there is no dub at all but I want to watch it. I find it especially worth-while to try the original if the english dub was really toned down, like with Shaman King, and it is indeed nice to hear characters as they were more intended to sound. When I watch a series subbed and nothing else it's almost tough to imagine them having as fitting a voice in any other language. Anyways, the one dub I'd as of now say for a fact was an overwhelmingly better than the sub is Ghost Stories, as somebody already mentioned. None of the others especially jumped out to me. Well, I liked being able to hear all the accents in Hetalia; I couldn't pick them up nearly as well in the original. So, actually, that too. :> |

| Appreciate all the replies everyone! |
| The only ones I'll watch in dub are the ones I watched and experienced for the first time in dub, which is generally when I was young and didn't know anime was foreign. For me it's only: Pokemon (first season, Indigo League) Spirited Away from Ghibli That's about all. I really cannot stomach localization. I have a seething hatred for it actually. I don't want a bunch of Japanese characters in a Japanese show to talk like American country roughnecks from Arkansas. It makes the entire experience feel weird and jarring as hell. |
| None for me because I love a lot of Japanese voice actors and would rather listen to them. |
| I thought the Steins;Gate dub was amazing! I preferred it to the subs. I also felt the same about FMAB and Code Geass. |
| I know English dubbed has been bashed on CONSTANTLY, but I don't find it too bad, some of it is amazing but in rare cases the dubbed is better than the subbed. What anime do you guys think the dubbed is better? For me, its has to be Soul Eater, THE DUBBED GO HARD |
ο»Ώ
| Basically any show that isn't ecchi or slice of life. But to give a more specific, and easy answer: Black Lagoon. The sub cigarettes are completely out of their fucking minds trying to defend that one. |
 |
| Such a dub does not exist. Sure there are good dubs for shows that make more sense to be dubbed because the setting is outside of Japan, but regardless I feel no dub can come close to the authentic feel of the original. |

| Dragonball Z (grew up watching the dub, hearing goku's jap voice now is weird to me ) Pokemon ( cos of the names ) |
| There are loads actually, as when I start a new show I always try to sample the dub and the sub a few examples would be: 1. Black Lagoon 2. FLCL 3. The disatrous life of Saiki K (not the netflix dub though) 4. Hyouka 5. Yu Yu Hakusho |
| "An Anime Where You Like The Dubbed more than the Subbed" Never happened to me with anime. Tho I liked the english dub of Totally Spies better than the original french one. It's not that I dislike french dubs either, I prefer Wakfu in french (also the official english translation misses 50% of the content for some reason.). |

| "Rating are for Casul" "While masterpiece are for Pleb" "But shit taste is enlightenment" "Go watch School Days you Weebs" |
| I've only seen a couple of episodes of the dub but I liked the french dub of ie naki ko for its authenticity since it takes place in france, it's based on a 19th century french novel and it involves a fair bit of french geography. All the VAs except the ones who played remi and mrs. milligan were on parl or, in the case of the narrator, better than the original. |

| F/Z, Baccano,Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood,Steins;Gate and DBZ(mostly due to nostalgia.) Honourable mentions: Monster and Yu Yu Hakusho. |

| "No matter how hard we fight it we always return to where we're meant to be." |
| For Black Lagoon, Ouran High School Host Club, Fruits Basket, Konosuba, and FMA:B, I much prefer the dub. For MHA and Owari no Seraph the subs and dubs are both good, but I still personally prefer the dub over the sub. I think in general I tend to prefer dubs for comedy because a.) the subs come off really formal most the time and b.) the use of American slang and changes to some Japanese culturally-specific jokes makes it funnier to me. I'd say in general I lean slightly more towards subs, but that's because a lot of English dubs really do suck. |

| I'm brazilian and watched Dragon Ball series at TV when I was a child. The dub is great. When I watched DB Super, it was very strange. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Afro Samurai because it has Samuel L. Jackson in it |
 |
| I always recommend the Redline movie dubbed, it makes it easier to appreciate the glorious animation |
 |
| Pretty much every anime tbh, but I think even sub fans can enjoy some anime dubbed like Monster, Steins;Gate, Code Geass etc |

skhylar said: I ~personally~ like the My Hero Academia dub better than the sub lol. Just compare Bakugo's rescue scene... idk i ~personally~ like the difference. sub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH0XHC2Ddmw dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS-sZY8Dyao I hope no one comes after me idk how popular this opinion is :/ It seems like a pretty unpopular stance from what I've seen lol, especially since a lot of people are obsessed with Bakugo's Japanese VA. But I definitely agree. I like the dialogue way better in the dub. |
|
| My Hero Academia has a brilliant dub. One of the enemy dubs I've ever seen. VAs are really brilliant Apart from mha, Deathnote, FMAB, Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop Assassination Classroom also have pretty amazing dubs |
| If I were to watch it, I would say DBZ. I much prefer Goku's deeper voice compared to that ridiculous child voice. Currently, I am rewatching shield Hero in dub and so far, it is quite good. But, not enough to be better than the sub. The only other shows that I know that is better than the sub is Ghost Stories and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, but I have not really started watching ghost stories and I have not seen the latter in ages. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| I don't watch dubs, not because of quality issues but rather because I believe that everything should be experienced in (or as close to) it's original form. To be, that is subbed (as I am not yet fully fluent in Japanese). That being said, I have watched the Gakkou no Kaidan (Ghost Stories) dub and it is fucking brilliant. The absolute beauty of that dub is something any anime lover should experience at least once. |
 |
| Fairy Tail, I think. I really enjoy the English audio. A good amount of ecchi anime I enjoy the dub for, as well. I'll also argue against sub "elitists" here; LOL broski, you aren't getting the REAL experience, learn basic Japanese and watch your anime RAW then come back to me. *dab* (sorry for my awful sense of humor; Jokes aside you aren't having the real "original experience" if this is what you argue, as the dialogue translated to a dub can't really reach any further than a sub does. Anime was not intended to be watched subbed, rather for Japanese audiences who have a good understanding of how the language works, and you can almost never directly translate an entire sentence from Japanese to English 1:1. Plus, how words and voices are expressed in Japanese, including acting in general is very different from language-to-language.) |

| Oh sure there some. Baccano, FMA(B), Black Lagoon |
| This is gonna be a huge list Death Note Ghost Stories Assassination Classroom Evangelion Toradora Redline High School DxD. I find the script funnier. Also a lot of different words for boobs Certain Scientific Railgun Prison School Cromartie High School Grappler Baki Berserk Kuroshitsuji Trinity Seven Nanbaka Yuri on Ice Aggretsuko High School of the Dead Tokyo Ghoul Noragami Hajimete no Gal Maken-Ki Baccano Medaka Box There. There are a lot. I usually like Ecchi anime dubbed even tho many won't. I think the scripts can be more free and they usually are better. DxDs dub can just throw out synonyms for breasts. |
