I much prefer sub-titled anime for two specific reasons. First and foremost, and I've stated this before and don't have a problem stating this over and over again, I am personally offended by the way Americans pronounce Japanese words. They butcher the poor language and have little to no respect for it. English will never sound better, because it's WRONG.
The second reason is that you lose the story. America likes to politically correct anything before it's shown on t.v. and in the end you get force-fed baby food.
subbed, you dont have to deal with voice actors trying to sync up the video with translated words
Subs, the dubbing never syncs up and it usually makes the acting seem cheesy.
Dubbed, but I'll watch subbed if the dub is bad (or nonexistent).
i prefer subbed, it allows the work to be more realistic and portrays a fairer representation of the culture and work! plus most dubbing looks corny anyway!
i like to watch anime in dub the first time so that i can watch the action then i switch to sub so i can concentrate on the story line though i'm not above doing a series that you can't get in dub i just watch it first for the story then for the action
but usually i just like to re-watch :)
Subbed, I can't stand american voices on anime, it just annoys me ^^
Subs, the Japanese voice actors seem to fit the characters better to me.
Definitely dubbed. While subbed is good sometimes, other times you might want to actually hear the people saying stuff in English, just to hear the way thhey express it...or how they say certain things. InuYasha (of which I am severely, and happily addicted to!) sounds a helluva lot better in Enlish dubs than Japanese. So does Fullmetal Alchemist (of which I am ALSO addicted!).
Go Sesshoumaru! SOOOOOO SEXY!!!
I like both, so long as the voice actors in either aren't bad.
subbed, no duh. wen they dubb things in Englih, the voices become sucky, and it kinda loses its authenticity.
Personally, I prefer it to be subbed, since that way I can learn more Japanese at the same time.
As for being dubbed.
Well, many North American English dubbed ones usually sounded strange and/or just plain funny.
I do however isn't into some of the originial Japanese voice acting of "Gun X Sword" and "Cowboy Beebop", they seems to lack passion. Carmen and Faye definelly sounded like a bunch of oba/auntie, while Jet sounded like a perverted old man.
On the other hand, high pitched anime (especially girl characters) definetly sounded better in originial Japanese than North American English dubbed.
Ugh, of COURSE I prefer subs!!!!!!!! I've been trying 2 watch Inuyasha n Fullmetal Alchemist online BUT with subs, n every time I type in the search box for, like, Inuyasha ep 56 subs, it just turns out it being DUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dubs are like, the most idiotic thing to do!!!!!!!!!! They make the actors n actresses' actions look totally cheesy!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, the dubs r totally wrong!!!! U know, I understand Japanese. Once, I wanted 2 watch 1 episode(mind me, just 1 episode) of Inuyasha in subs and then switch it 2 dubs. And then, when I heard the dubbed version, I went totally berserk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was, like, when Shippo was supposed 2 say:" Kagome, Inuyasha-wa hidoi!" which means, " Kagome, Inuyasha is cruel!" And when I heard the dubbed version, it said:" Kagome, Inuyasha spanked me again!" That's not supposed 2 b it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, on behalf on all dub-haters, I proclaim that dubs should, like, b banned!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the whole wide world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh, and 1 more thing, sub-haters, watch out, cos' I'm gonna kick u right n the face and drag u by the hair 2 my mansion, and make u kneel down, naked, and beg me 2 let u go, but I won't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
