Anime | Manga Do you prefer Japanese or English Dubs?

[OmegaForte 1,674]

I'm neutral for the same reason you said. I seriously can't stand Goku's Japanese voice either.

 

I only like dubs better when the VA is good. Some example I can't stand to watch the dub over sub is like Megaman NT Warrior. Not to mention they even changed the sound effects that sound cliche IMO.

 

Dubs I prefer over subs, such as Digimon Adventure. It could be because I grew up with the dub, but I don't find the dub bad, even with the jokes.

Subs, always.

 

I actually like the japanese dub of DBZ.

[Crisp Cucumber 229]

I prefer dub. I usually only watch subs if there's no english dub for an anime, like the 2011 version of Hunter X Hunter. But if a dub is really bad, then I'll go with subs of course.

[Sora96 17,256]

I enjoy English dubs. Except when it's a shitty dub, but usually when there's a shitty dub, there's an even better one. At least for the animes I watch.

I usually watch both. If I find a series I like I'll re-watch it in the other language (if there is an english dub). I also have friends that love dubbed and refuse to watch sub and friends who love subbed and refused to watch dubbed. So by me watching both I can get a long with both friends and I am still able to give them recommendations.

English dub or Japanese sub ?For me it depends and which voices suit the characters better imo.Like I rather watch the eng dub of Dragon ball Z than the japanese cause goku kinda sounds funny in the japanese dub.

Japanese VA all sound the same to me... Besides I have to read subtitles and crap so I can't enjoy the action. Besides I prefer watching anime in th language I originally learned. But if its a anime that seems good that's only in SUB, I'm going to watch it. So yeah dub all the way.

[Taeyeon 1,137]

I'll take English dubs any times I get the chance, but I am not annoyed if there is only Japanese dubs.

[Isaix 924]

English dub is better,I don't really like japanese voice acting

Is it really that hard to read the subs and watch the show?I have no problem doing that....maybe I read fast?

[MyDixieRect 2,061]

Dub. Japanese voice acting is way too over the top it's ridiculous and 95% of the time the females have this REALLY high pitched voice that really knows how to irritate and the males either have this overly energetic voice or one that sounds like they'd rather be a million other places.

[Tails 6,692]

So when watching anime do you watch it in Japanese with subtitles? Or do you watch it in English?

[Jilly Shears 2,144]

Dubbed if it's available, because I'm not a weeaboo.

[Ruby Rose 8,591]

I don't watch anime- I watch RWBY

[Ceriraye 485]

Dubbed always dubbed if it's there. It a really big bother to me if I have to read what the characters are saying. It takes my focus away from the actual show

[Philip Ellwell 5,487]

Dubbed cause of reasons. 

 

Except yaoi: subbed then.

 

[Keyblade Guardian 369]

I don't watch anime- I watch RWBY

 

[Cucco 1,907]

Dubbed cause of reasons.

are you yaoi fangirl #1 timid?

 

Dubbed if it's available, because I'm not a weeaboo.

me too, unless the dub sucks

[Reyn 1,755]

Im ok with either, i like both, but i prefer dub if i like the voices.

[Sora96 17,256]

Dubbed.

[Tails 6,692]

Dubbed always dubbed if it's there. It a really big bother to me if I have to read what the characters are saying. It takes my focus away from the actual show

Yeah I know the feeling lol. It can get distracting watching subtitles when you're trying to watch the action that's going on in the show.

[Demyx. 10,064]

Dubbed. Because reading the text makes me miss all of the cool shit. 

[Isaix 924]

Dubbed

[Pangoro "Sen" 445]

Subbed. I actually have some hearing problems, so some words that they say in dubbed anime becomes jibberish. Because of that, I can read the subs just fine...in fact, I make very few exceptions to this. SAO, for instance...

[RoxasVen30 81]

I see it subbed, because some animes I see are not dubbed.
