Eh, I'm 50-50, I'm not picky. If there's a dub available and it's not ear shatteringly painful, I'll watch it. If it's sub only or fansubbed only, so long as it's a good show, I'll go for that too. I'm really not picky, they both seem to register as "seen in English" in my mind, so what's the point in me caring?

Mainly subs with some dubs.

If it's on TV or streamed through netflix, Dubbed.

DVD wise, Normally subbed. Unless it's Slayers then I can go either way.

People who love sub should just learn Japanese, then they'd vote for watching more "dubbed" anime...GET IT?!

I'd say subs only but as it stands Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell would make me a liar if I said I never watch dubs.

I watch both. Sometimes after contemplating clips of the show before watching I choose which to do first. So for example:
I watch anime X subbed and I like it, then I watch anime X dubbed. After a few episodes if I feel it is lacking decent voice acting I drop it and move on.

What's a "Medium Anime Watcher"? Some kind of psychic?

I almost always watch subbed, just because the Japanese voices seem to fit much more naturally with the characters, and the way the mouths move. Dubs can also have horrendous translations, and to go to go the extremities, just look at what 4kids did to One Piece dubbed. It makes me shudder.

Having said that, i do wach some old nostalgic shows dubbed, because thats how i watched them growing up, i.e Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. But those are the only ones really.

I usually watch sub because the voices just sound more natural. I don't really watch dub unless I'm eating and even then, it's more like listening than watching.

I do listen to fandub songs though!
